The Puerto Rico government is reviewing a request by one of the island's main hotel operators to restructure the loan that helped pay for the renovation of two landmark hotels: La Concha Renaissance Resort & Casino, currently in operation, and the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel, which shut down 15 years ago and reopens on Tuesday in a phased manner.
New luxe hotel properties, a higher return for investors, and greater satisfaction by cruise passengers visiting the island are spelling out a brighter outlook for Puerto Rico's tourism industry, according to Tourism Co. Executive Director Luis Rivera Marín.
Two months ahead of its scheduled grand opening, the Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve announced this week it has begun accepting reservations to stay at what will be Puerto Rico's most lavish hotel property.
