Located on a former grapefruit and coconut plantation, the
Hyatt Dorado Beach is our favorite type of Caribbean property:
a low-rise hotel with easy access to the beach. Apparently this
style appeals to others as well; the Hyatt Dorado Beach boasts
the highest repeat visitor rate of any properties in the popular
chain.

The atmosphere is elegantly casual. The guest rooms are deco-
rated in a West Indian style, with furniture inspired by Carib-
bean antiques.
