La Concha Resort, Puerto Rico, Autograph Collection
Resort and stay was beautiful. Food was also very good. The resort staff was very helpful but mind you some of the staff especially housekeeping doesn’t speak any English so have your translation app ready. Also the pools are all warm and jetted not cool.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado
Great relaxing environment for couples and families alike. There’s enough space and resort to go around for everyone. Rooms have everything you need and the beach was one of the best I’ve experienced here on the island. Food from mahi mahi bar and grill was amazing.
