The house
HyattPeninsula golf playground
The resort spreads across a 72-acre peninsula where tournament greens run straight to the water against El Yunque rainforest.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A sprawling Caribbean lagoon pool and two championship golf courses frame the peninsula.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
El Yunque National Forest rises directly inland, and the quiet sands of Coco Beach wrap around the peninsula.

The rooms
Rooms spread across two-story bungalows with terraces framing views of either the Atlantic or El Yunque rainforest.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freeform lagoon pool curves along the ocean with submerged barstools, and quiet courtyard pools sit between the villas.
The spa
Outdoor massages take place beneath curtained cabanas, and quiet relaxation rooms hold draped wicker daybeds.
At the table
Prime 787 serves steaks beneath geometric ceilings, and the Martini Bar pours drinks under a glowing canopy of bottles.
How it began
The property opened in 2004 as a Meliá resort before a hundred-million-dollar overhaul after Hurricane Maria brought it to Hyatt.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
