LOCATION

Villa Dorada is located inside the Dorado Beach Resort in Dorado, Puerto Rico. This community is famous for its gorgeous tropical grounds and beautiful beach. This is a safe and gated community that is great for families and anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing vacation in the tropics. Villa Dorada is a 40-minute drive from San Juan and the Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport.

Besides enjoying the beautiful villa and all amenities on offer, there are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:

Explore the local culinary scene with everything from local Puerto Rican food to excellent Italian and Mexican options.

Road trip to the Cerro Gordo Public Beach or walk down the shore to Dorado Public Beaches. Both of these are long sandy beaches that are well protected from swell and are a 5-minute drive from the villa.

Explore the Camuy Caves – a huge cave system about an hour's drive away that is home to the third-longest underwater river in the world.

Spend a day in Old San Juan, a 30 min drive away and the oldest city in all of the US.


GETTING AROUND

Renting a car is a must when staying in Dorado. The property includes parking for up to 2 vehicles. You will need it to move around to nearby restaurants, shops, and beaches as well as to explore the rest of the island.

Great house and location, but . . .
Overall, we felt that this house was a great choice for us. We really liked the property and its location. Easy access to the amenities of the Ritz Carlton Reserve. Having use of the golf cart was key. There was plenty of room, a nice layout of the house, and lots of usable space. The kitchen was nice sized and overall it was very comfortable. It was a little "dated." There were MANY issues, mostly related to malfunctioning appliances and toilets. More frustrating was a lack of responsiveness of our West Indies Vacations representative during our stay. We received many text messages from the property manager representative saying that she “would be happy to assist,” but after an initial response or two promising that someone would come out to evaluate, all of our texts went unanswered. There was NO resolution of any of the many problems we contacted them about. We took care of the unit and its contents. When we checked out, we followed instructions provided. We took the trash out. We hand washed all of the dishes, glasses, and silverware since the dishwasher did not work. We cleaned up as we would have done at our own home. We care for places we rent as we would care for own homes, but we kind of expect that the property owners / managers will take care of our needs during our stay. That did not happen in this case.

Property is very well maintained. Better than you may see in the website. Very good spot in the neighborhood. Very calm and pretty. Only inconvenient was that master’s a/c doesn’t cool enough. We received a refund. But for the rest we spend a very nice weekend.
