Golf Destinations: Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve

Two championship golf courses showcase the new Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico.

Framed against the backdrop of the beautiful El Yunque rainforest on one side, the Atlantic Ocean on the other, Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico is a family-friendly luxury resort within easy reach of San Juan International Airport and famous attractions like Old San Juan, El Morro castle, and the Laguna Grande bioluminescent bay in Fajardo. Refreshed with a multi-million-dollar renovation that was completed in December 2019, the former site of the Gran Melia Hotel has been transformed into the Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico. Guests can enjoy beachside suites only steps from the water and a couple of inspiring golf courses nearby.
