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.

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.
