The posting on this Forum subject are very old, and contain a lot of out of date information and miss information. The old hotel was to be torn down and a new one built by the property owner: The Caribbean Properties Group. Same company that developed the Ritz Carlton at the other end of the golf course shared with the Cerromor Beach Hotel and Hacienda del Mar at the west end of the course. (Note: But as of 2020 it has never happened. But because of the 2017 Hurricanes the actual club building is being completely renovated and is now open for reservations from June 2020 on) The beach is fabulous. The beach was spotted for its location and properties by Rockefeller years ago when he built the two hotels at this location ( later named the Dorado Hyatt and the Cerromar Beach Hyatt). As of Summer 2015 all furnishings have been refreshed in a new contemporary styling. The Kitchens and bathrooms have not been remodeled during this updated phase however. There is a small Bohio resturant and bar at the pool are for the basics. The Property is quite and relaxing. clean and well maintained , with wonderful staff, and with great customer service. There are shopping centers, cinema, restaurants, fast food, and grocery stores less than 1.5 miles away, and the same in Dorado PR less than 3 miles away. You will need to have rental car to really enjoy the area and to explore PR with this grate resort as your base. Not to mention the 3 golf courses and the Ritz Carlton Resort, and the Plantation Golf club house a mile away that can be accessed by Hyatt Hacienda del mar guest. The original Hyatt Cerromar hotel next door was a separate business from the Hyatt residence club and unfortunately it closed. It will soon be torn down. The latest news is that the same group that built the Ritz will build a smaller J.W. Marriott hotel and casino next door, and possibly a Marriott Vacation Club property. But because the old hotel is currently fenced off and deteriorating awaiting demolition, does not make the Hacienda Del Marr any less than it was before which was very good. Except that the old hotel's "Lazy River" type pool is no longer available to be shared with the guest at the Hacienda del mar. So my advice is if interested in quite luxury accommodations .. then enjoy it while you can.. Perry I just bought 2 weeks there and as a current Hyatt Residence club member with 3 other properties it was quite a bargain for me.
