“When Laurence Rockefeller built this resort in 1958, he was an innovator and visionary, said Victor Lopez, Divisional Vice President of Hyatt Hotels and Resorts. “Dorado’s architecture and landscape design were planned with a sensitivity to the environment and choice setting, offering open air walkways and lobbies, and low rise accommodations that brush the beach,” said Lopez. “Dorado became an immediate classic, whose finest features and traditions we have preserved and will continue to enhance with our long term master plan,” continued Lopez.

As called for in Rockefeller’s original plan, no resort building is taller than a palm tree.
