Every part of the facility was damaged by Hurricane Maria. After damage assessment and settlement of the insurance claim, the hotel embarked on a major recovery and remodeling effort. The guestrooms were redecorated, and all carpet was replaced with marble. The leaky and inefficient stacked sliding doors were replaced with fixed paned and sealing pivot doors, providing a dramatic “picture window” view of the landscaped foreground and the ocean beyond. The furniture was upgraded with a combination of new and refurbished pieces. The reception and lounge were completely remodeled. Part of the upstairs balcony was enclosed, resulting in about 1,200 s.f. of additional space for the restaurant, which was converted from a three-meal to signature fine dining. The pool grill was enclosed, conditioned, and renovated to become the facility’s three-meal restaurant. The hotel reopened in December 2018.
