Exquisite Luxury at Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve: A Haven of Opulence

I have been fortunate to travel to Puerto Rico many times. It was my home port when I worked for Royal Caribbean International on the Rhapsody of the Seas and I filmed a webseries for Orbitz there as well exploring the fountain of youth in Ponce, El Yunque and Santurce. I was in town for the grand opening of Distrito T-Mobile and went to Bacardi to learn to make the ultimate pina colada!

But on this visit, I had the unbelievable opportunity to visit the exquisite luxury at Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve.

🏖️🌴 A dream come true at Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve! 🌟 From the moment I arrived, I was immersed in a world of luxury and refinement. Every aspect of my stay was a testament to the art of elevated living. ✨🍹 ✨

I loved my stay at Dorado Beach and spoke about it in my interview with Bloomberg Pursuits. “Travel is often about the perspective you bring and what you look for.”

I have been to Puerto Rico at every stage of my life and travel career. San Juan was a home port for me when I worked for Royal Caribbean; I loved to stroll in Old San Juan, listen to live music and visit the 500-year-old forts...Most recently, I had a villa with a private plunge pool at Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve and on World Environment Day, I planted trees with Dr. Richard Murphy at the Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ambassadors of the Environment Program.

I loved my incredible stay at Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve! As I reflect on my experience, I can’t help but daydream about the other Ritz-Carlton Reserves that await my discovery: Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Thailand, the serene Mandapa, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Bali, and the captivating Zadún, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Los Cabos. Each of these destinations is a masterpiece of luxury, a promise of indulgence in the most breathtaking surroundings imaginable. ✨🍹

Ocean Guardians Unite! I celebrated World Environment Day at Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve

I was honored to interview Richard Murphy of Ocean Futures Society and co-creator of Ambassadors of the Environment at Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve.

The celebration was a perfect blend of inspiration, education, and action, bringing together passionate individuals from various backgrounds to commemorate this important day. The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the presence of Richard Murphy, a true legend in the field of marine conservation, who has dedicated an impressive 50 years to the Ocean Futures Society working with Jean-Michel Cousteau. I had the privilege of interviewing him, capturing his insights and experiences in this video podcast.

YES! I loved my suite with a private plunge pool at Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve! I could walk out the floor to ceiling glass sliding doors past my private patio and pool and was steps away from lounge chairs on the water’s edge. It was just a few more steps to the restaurant and stunning pool area. This video has a tour of my suite and then lunch by the pool at Positivo.
