Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado
Our room was wonderful, full kitchen so we could grocery shop for our stay. I do wish they had more options for food as they only had 1 restaurant. Food was really good just the same. I would recommend this hotel it was very clean and staff were very attentive.
