We awoke the next morning and found ourselves in paradise. The casual elegance of the room along with the capacious bathroom made a perfect temporary home. We fueled up for our day of fun with the breakfast buffet at the hotel. Omelettes to order, prosciutto and an array of fresh fruit and pastries became the way to start off each morning.We spent most of our days enjoying the grounds; we biked, we swam and we napped poolside. The complimentary guava popsicles were a treat to look for daily by the pool. The golf course is stunning though we did not play, it was a wonderful place to walk through. The have a fabulous gym facility as well. We enjoyed some of the local seafood at the hotel restaurants; their Caribbean lobster and giant prawns were spectacular. We did have a car so we spent some of our time in San Juan.
The spa at El Dorado was one of the best that I have ever enjoyed. I did not get to try their famous treehouse massage which is reason enough to go back. My husband and I did enjoy a couple's massage in their private glass treatment room enclosed with a surrounding garden. They have separate men and women's outdoor tropical lounge areas equipped with a steam room, dry sauna, cold plunge pool, hot tub and outdoor showers. The jungle picture to the right is the women's spa area. There are also separate indoor relaxation rooms. Multiple butterflies went by the window as I looked out. My husband and I were together through the massage and for drinks in the pineapple garden afterward.The lush landscaping, the immensity of the property, the spectacular spa, the gorgeous beaches and the impeccable service make the El Dorado Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico a highly recommended hotel destination.
