Puerto Rico’s tourism sector will mark the next chapter in its recovery when high-end hotels reopen next month.
The Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve will begin welcoming guests again Oct. 1. The 110-room resort will have expanded facilities, including its acclaimed Spa Botánico, while each of the resort's beachfront guestrooms and suites will have a new color palette. Outside, the Reserve's sprawling grounds will see the addition of new landscaping with more than 300,000 flora and fauna.
Other changes include a new menu at the family friendly Encanto Beach Club Bar and Grill; a new Omakase and Ceviche Bar; and the complete modernization of the property’s Su Casa five-bedroom villa. In mid-November, the property’s signature restaurant and bar will debut a new dining concept.
经过6000万美元的翻新,宁静的圣瑞吉斯巴伊亚海滩将于10月29日重新开放。139间客房和套房将提供新的调色板和设计风格,例如定制家具件。种植园将是该度假村的高级餐厅和瑞吉酒吧的所在地,以及由小罗伯特·特伦特·琼斯(Robert Trent Jones,Jr。)设计的海洋前高尔夫球场。
The seaside pool has undergone a renovation, and will offer a casual dining restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, in addition to poolside cabanas and lounge chairs. The spa will debut as The Iridium Spa at The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort when the property reopens.
巴伊亚海滩(Bahia Beach)的客房将有一个新的调色板,包括柔软的白色和蓝色。
The iconic El San Juan Hotel, part of Hilton's Curio Collection, will reopen on Isla Verde Beach after undergoing a significant restoration this winter. The project covered every aspect of the hotel, from the 388 guestrooms and oceanfront villas to its pools and lobby. Other restored areas of the property include the ornamental hand-carved mahogany that covers the lobby ceilings, property columns and vaulted arch over the registration area.

开放旅游业
Despite the progress the tourism industry has made since Hurricane Maria, officials are still working to get the message out that the island is open for visitors.
“The local tourism industry has worked very hard for the past year to come back strong. There’s a lot to celebrate,” said Brad Dean, CEO of Discover Puerto Rico, a private non-profit that supports the promotion of tourism. “We’re taking this moment to encourage all audiences to help us spotlight our tourism recovery and invite travelers to visit us, as tourism is a vital contributor to the economy.”
Nearly a year since the storm struck, the island currently has 12,458 rooms available, with another 25 percent in the pipeline, Discover Puerto Rico said.
12月,MeliáCocoBeach将有480间新房间,随后1月从Caribe Hilton提供了652个新房间。继续振兴的物业包括El Conquistador Resort,Waldorf Astoria Resort和Ritz-Carlton San Juan。
In addition to restored hotels, several new ones have opened. Global restaurant brand Serafina Restaurant Group opened the lifestyle Serafina Beach Hotel in March, with amenities such as floor-to-ceiling windows in each of the 96 guestrooms; three new dining concepts; and a freshwater, ocean-front infinity-edge pool.
JW万豪酒店,Aloft San Juan会议中心,Aloft Ponce和四个季节Cayo Largo也在进行中。新的酒店开发项目代表了19亿美元的投资。
According to STR, Inc., which tracks hotel data and benchmarking, Puerto Rico saw strong performance growth in August, with double-digit increases in both ADR (+17.7 percent) and RevPAR (+18.2 percent).
