The Spa Botanico will also be “fully revitalized” with a new locally-inspired treatment menu and a new spa cuisine concept.

“October 2018 marks an exciting next chapter in the legendary history of our Reserve,” said George Sotelo, general manager at Dorado Beach. “. “We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Dorado Beach as well as introducing the Reserve to a whole new set of guests experiencing the property for the first time.”
