Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is now accepting reservations for guest arrivals.

The Ritz-Carlton Reserve brand extension features signature, one-of-a-kind boutique resorts located in choice settings around the world, each with a distinctive personality and sense of place. Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is the second in this exclusive portfolio worldwide, joining Phulay Bay in Krabi, Southern Thailand. Situated on three miles of Caribbean coastline with 1,400 acres of natural beauty, privacy and luxury on the former Laurance Rockefeller estate, Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve includes 100 guestrooms and 14 suites, all directly on the beach, plus Su Casa, the original plantation hacienda renovated back to its original 1920s style to serve as a four-bedroom beachfront VIP villa. Dorado Beach also features a five-acre, 'botanical' spa; a restaurant by award winning chef Jose Andres; and an eco-educational Ambassadors of the Environment program by Jean-Michel Cousteau.

"We are thrilled to unveil this magnificent sanctuary in time for the Holidays and 2013 season," said Alejandro Helbling, general manager of Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. "Our discriminating, discerning customers will find Dorado Beach's unspoiled natural beauty, heritage and world-class offerings exceptionally alluring, making it the perfect destination to debut the first Reserve in the Americas," he added.
