| Category | BlueBay Villas Doradas | Ultravioleta Boutique Residences |

| Pools & Beach | Three outdoor pools, including a quiet-zone pool and a swim-up bar pool, plus a first-line Playa Dorada beachfront setting. | Beachfront boutique-residence setting with a more low-key, private atmosphere than a full resort pool-and-entertainment scene. |
