Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado
Went on a mother daughter trip and really enjoyed this location. Definitely need to rent a car if you want to do more than hang at the beach and pool. The beach was perfect.

Costa Bahia Hotel Paseo Caribe
For the price my stay was terrible. The bed was hard, the covers were thin, and they did not have a fitted sheet on bed. The room also had a musty smell. The only thing this hotel have going is the view. I would not recommend it for anyone.
