While many properties in greater San Juan have reopened, a number of its most iconic properties are still shuttered, including the landmark El San Juan, which is planning to relaunch in October.

Another Ritz-Carlton property on the island is planning a quicker return, however, with Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve planning to reopen this coming October.
