The Ritz-Carlton San Juan is planning a 2019 return, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The luxury Puerto Rico resort will likely be open and operational in the second quarter of 2019, according to an Marriott’s Paradise by Marriott hurricane update.

The Ritz-Carlton, San Juan.

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.

By the Caribbean Journal staff

One of the most popular dive sites in the Caribbean is open again.

The iconic MV Superior Producer dive site on the island of Curaçao has reopened again for divers, the Curaçao Port Authority announced.

The famous shipwreck is open again after having been closed off for one year due to construction of the island’s major new Tula mega cruise pier.

It’s another boost for an island that was recently named the number one scuba diving destination in the Caribbean by Caribbean Journal.

Are you planning a dive getaway to Curaçao? You may want to try one of its boutique dive hotels, the Scuba Lodge.
