The property also includes the TPC Dorado Beach Golf Club, tennis center, the Encanto Pool, an expansive water park for families, food and beverage outlets, an equestrian center and more.

"The acquisition of Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is an opportunity for us to acquire one of the most iconic luxury assets in the Americas," said Richard J. Stockton, Braemar's president and CEO. "As the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the Americas and one of only five Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties worldwide, this unique property fits perfectly with our strategy of owning high RevPAR luxury hotels and resorts and further diversifies our portfolio."  

The acquisition is expected to close on or prior to February 1, 2022.
