What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Lovely Spa Experience

My partner and I indulged in the couples' Dorado Beach deluxe treatment at Spa Botánico, and it was worth every penny. Though it was a splurge at around $1200, we arrived early to enjoy the spa's pristine amenities. The calming atmosphere and excellent treatments made this the highlight of our trip. We felt rejuvenated and pampered throughout the experience. It's a must-visit when staying at the Reserve!

Really good Dining Options

Dining at Coa was a nice experience! The food was expertly prepared, and the view of the beach during breakfast was amazing. Our server, Michael, made our mornings special with his attentive service. I especially recommend the organic açaí bowl and specialty juices—the flavors were vibrant and refreshing. We loved the intimate setting at Positivo as well, where the Asian-inspired menu completely surpassed our expectations. Overall, the culinary offerings are world-class!

Stunning Oceanfront Room

I stayed in a beachfront room with panoramic ocean views that took my breath away. The room featured an outdoor shower, which was a good touch that made my stay feel even more luxurious. The comfort of the bed made it hard to leave, especially with such an enchanting view right from my pillow. I felt truly at peace in my surroundings!

Beautiful Gym Facilities

The fitness center at Dorado Beach is one of the best I've ever experienced. Housed in a beautifully renovated plantation hangar, the combination of classic architecture and modern equipment made my workout sessions enjoyable. I loved the bike trails around the hotel that offered a scenic route to explore the beach and golf courses. I found the gym inspiring and motivating!
