Following the footsteps of Laurance S. Rockefeller in Puerto Rico
The Dorado Beach hotel in Puerto Rico is one of the top 100 most sustainable hotels in the world. Envisioned by a team of globally acclaimed architects and designers, it is a Ritz-Carlton Reserve property being built to LEED® Silver standards.
Located 15 miles west of San Juan on Puerto Rico’s northern coast, Dorado Beach is renowned as one of the Caribbean’s most pristine island environments. With 115 guestrooms spread across 50 acres and one mile of beachfront, the Ritz-Carlton Reserve is a luxurious sanctuary. The resort also includes the five-acre Spa Botanico with 12 treatment rooms plus two rooms constructed in tree house style.
The Reserve opened as a low-rise, low-density hotel of three-storey buildings on the footprint of the original RockResort hotel that Laurance S. Rockefeller, a philanthropist dedicated to preserving nature and natural environments, designed in the late '50s.
Quick and easy installation
Mauricio Ballesteros is the project manager for Bermudez & Longo Diaz Masso (BLDM) as well as the mechanical and electrical contractor for the Ritz-Carlton Reserve. All plumbing systems for the entire hotel’s guestrooms, spa facilities and residences were installed using Viega Profipress (US standard) and Viega PEX systems. "Viega has helped us to achieve our time goals," Ballesteros said, "by making the installations quicker and easier with no stress of possible leaks."
