La Concha Resort, Puerto Rico, Autograph Collection
Spacious bathroom with convenient motion lights. Staff were generally friendly, but very little pool service. Food and drinks were very expensive/overpriced. Good location with lots of nearby restaurants and Walgreens. Some noise from construction.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado
The room was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. We were allowed to check out late. And every request to the front desk or housekeeping was responded to quickly, with a follow-up to make sure I was satisfied. Also, I love that you have enough chairs at the pool and beach to accommodate everyone ...
