  I stayed at the villa with my wife for a few months. The atmosphere was amazing and the security was second to none. Having the pool right outside the back door and the beach only a 5 min walk away, was PERFECT! Alma and her family answered all of our questions and concerns and our stay was one that we will never forget. I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS VILLA.

  Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

  6 adults and 4 children under the age of 4 stayed at the O3 villa from 4/26 to 5/1 and we had a fabulous time. The Villa is fully furnished and equipped, so we were very comfortable on arrival. The main pool and kid’s pool are directly in front of the Villa. The private beach (shared with the Hyatt) is only a 3 minute walk from the Villa. Most of the time we were the only ones on the beach! The Lake Side Villas are located in a private community with security. Alma helps out with any questions you may have and when you are in Dorado she has a care taker who will help you out as well. If you are planning on driving east towards the San Juan area or further please keep in mind that traffic can be pretty bad during the day so it may take up to 1 hour to get to San Juan during rush hour. A very good restaurant with local food near the Vila is Metropol located at the Plaza Dorado Shopping Center. There is a local beach side food hut located on the east end of Calle A (near Calle D) in Dorado and they serve some really good fried Red Snapper and typical local food! If you want to snorkel contact Alma and go with her friend Wende at the Ritz Reserve. If you want to do water sports go to Isla Verde Beach in Carolina for Jet Skiing, Para-sailing and Banana boat rides. You can bargain. All in all this is a great place to stay and enjoy a good vacation.

  I am a Project Manager who has had a project running in Barceloneta for a period of 8 months and had chosen Lakeside Villas as our nesting place for the duration. The service that Alma provided in setting up the rentals as well as the service from the different landlords, Jeanette, Sandra, & Frank has been great. We have found the property quite comfortable and very luxurious, should we require further housing in the area we wont hesitate to inquire at Lakeside. Thanks again, Joseph

  We didn't stay in this condo, but another one at Lakeside Villas. It overlooks the lagoon and is right next to the pool, playground and tennis courts and has one of the shortest walks to the beach. The condo is well furnished and has plenty of room with 3 full bathrooms. Kitchen was also well stocked with all needed appliances and accessories. Loved feeding the ducks each morning. Alma was a pleasure to work with and very prompt. Entire process was extremely easy. Also, there is a great binder with restaurant recommendations and things to do that was very helpful!! Thanks so much for sharing your condo with us.

  My wife and three adult kids stayed at Lakeside Villas for a week of vacation in March 2013. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The vacation was arranged by Alma, who could not have been more accommodating. She was extremely helpful prior to the trip answering questions and coordinating the arrangements. The weather was gorgeous. There is direct access to a very nice soft sand beach at the nearby Hyatt. The complex facilities are attractive and clean, with a very nice pool facility. Our villa was 3 BR and 3 baths, with a nice sized living area and excellent kitchen. We rented a car through Dorado Tours, which worked out very well. There are a number of very good restaurants nearby. I would highly recommend Lakeside Villas.

  We stayed at the Villa over Thanksgiving week with our 4 boys (ages 15-23). The location was very centrally located and the villa was beautiful. It was perfect for our family. Everyone had their own space. The beach was within walking distance and was beautiful. The water was absolutely gorgeous while we were there. The villa complex was a little "quiet" for my boys taste but it made for memorable family time. The only thing missing was a jacuzzi! The patio was wonderful for eating breakfast in the morning or after the beach. We could have used 1 extra week to just relax after we did all our excursions around Puerto Rico. We went surfing in Rincon, snorkeling in Culebra, toured the forts in Old San Juan, went on a biobay electric boat tour (amazing!), hiked the rain forest, visited El Cuevo del Indio (breathtaking views). I would highly recommend this villa and Dorado. Puerto Rico is amazing! Many thanks to Alma for her hospitality and to Rosa for helping us out while we were in Puerto Rico.

  Three generations of my family spent spring break at Alma's villa. We had a great time. The swimming pool is just behind the house and the beach is two short blocks away. My grandkids loved having both available and the adults enjoyed not having to pack up and drive. Lakeside villas is centrally located on the island so we were able to do easy day trips to visit beaches and caves to the west and El Yunque and a bioluminescent bay in the east. Some of us were even brave enough to try the Trapeze School of New York which has opened a venue in San Juan. Alma's villa is great place for a relaxing family vacation! Charlie

  Owner response: Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. We are delighted that you had a good time and look forward to accommodating you and your family again soon. Dorado is indeed a wonderful resort town with easy access to so many of the attractions Puerto Rico has to offer. Thanks also for sharing the information about the Trapeze school- we definitely will need to check that out!

  We had a great week in Dorado, PR and stayed at Alma's villa. The house is very spacious, well equiped, and ethnically decorated. Pool just outside the back door patio is great for kids and for sun worshippers. The tennis courts are in great shape! Would definitely return again in the future as time permits!
