The apartment is located in Villas de Playa I in the town of Dorado, readily accesible via expressway from the San Juan Airport. Dorado maintains the blend of a small town with all the ameinities of a large city, since it has become a bedroom community of San Juan.
The apartment is a three bedroom, three level walkup apartment, whose interior has been recently redone, next to the beach with an ocean view. It has an east to west orientation so it's cooled by the trade winds. The first level has the living and dining areas, a modern kitchen and a full bathroom, which is convenient since there is a sleeper sofa that converts into a queen sized bed in the living room. Although this area is totally air conditioned there is a ceiling fan in case you want to experience the fresh ocean breeze. A TV set with cable service and a DVD player are located in the living room. If you are a wine lover, a wine cooler is provided. A terrace with a dining table and a gas grill allows you to eat outside or on the manicured lawn in the back, where you can actually have dinner under the stars.
The second floor has two bedrooms, each with a private full bath. One of the bedrooms has a queen sized bed and faces the ocean; the other has bunk beds which sleeps three persons.Each room is air conditioned. The top floor holds the Master bedroomed,, which is also air conditioned, has a king sized bed, a full bath and a sitting area. The balcony overlooks the ocean and you can sit here to experience the sunset.
Among other facilities, there is a children's playground as well as two controlled access swimming pools, one of them a wading pool.
The property is next to the Embassy Suites and the Dorado del Mar Golf Club, both less than 5 minutes walking distance. From the apartment you can walk west along Sardinera beach ( beach in the Dorado Beach Hotel, but open to the public ) or exercise along the beach following the Rockefeller nature trail. The Dorado fishing village is next to the compound and you can buy fresh fish directly from the fishermen as they return from the sea around noon each day.
There are several fine restaurants in the area, including the award winning El Ladrillo, which is also an art gallery, as well as other delicious seafood restaurants next to the Dorado public beach. If you are into trying typical Puerto Rican fritters, there are also kiosks along the public beach to enjoy them.
You are close to three of the most visited tourist locations in Puerto Rico: the Bacardi Rum distillery, the Camuy caves and the Arecibo radiotelescope. The first is located to the east, reachable following route 165, which runs next to the ocean. The other two are to the west, near the town of Lares.
