DORADO, Puerto Rico--The signs on the city's streets may still direct visitors to the shuttered Hyatt Dorado Beach, but the golf capital of Puerto Rico is moving on.
The Hyatt shut down in May 2006, abandoning a beautiful beachfront hotel complex and its relationship with the 36-hole Dorado Beach Golf Club. But longtime director of golf Junior Colon said the that turn of events won't affect the club's ambitious plans for its two Robert Trent Jones Sr. golf courses.
Along with slight modifications to its West Course, Dorado GC will do an extensive revamp of its East Course, a former Senior PGA Tour site. Robert Trent Jones Jr. will be entrusted with reshaping his father's designs.
"We are going to wipe out all the greens and start from scratch," Colon said. "We want to get them up to USGA standards. We'll add length to the course to get a PGA Tour event. We'll cement the cart paths, add drainage to some holes."
And there's a resort ready to fill the void left by the defunct Hyatt. The Embassy Suites Dorado del Mar Beach & Golf Resort offers many of the amenities of the former Hyatt: a beachfront setting, multiple restaurants, a fabulous pool and good golf, along with 174 luxury suites, many with ocean-view balconies.
Recent changes have created an almost all-inclusive experience for guests, with several complimentary amenities: wireless Internet access, full-service breakfast buffet and a nightly manager's reception with drinks and snacks.
This remains Puerto Rico's top golf destination for players who crave variety and convenience, with a wide choice of quality golf courses within an 10-minute drive. It's also just minutes from one of the island's most popular attractions, the Bacardi rum distillery, and an hour's drive from the Rio Camuy Cave Park, home of the third-largest cave system in the world.
