Dorado
Puerto Rico
Wonderful apartment and experience!
Submitted: September 6, 2009
Stayed: August 2009
My family stayed in Omar's apartment from August 13th-20th. While we've been to PR many times, this was our first experience staying in Dorado as well as renting an apartment - but with 2 adults and three growing children, hotel options are becoming much more limited and costly. Omar was a wonderful host and resource from our very first phone call. He made the rental process very simple and straightforward.....greeted us upon our arrival with his adorable son, gave us the five star tour of the apartment and grounds, and provided us with great restaurant recommendations, driving directions and even weather updates when a storm threatened to pass through the island.
The descriptions of the apartment itself are very accurate......although the photos really don't give you a good sense of how large and bright the rooms are, especially the main living/dining area and master bedroom. The jacuzzi was a great treat after a long day at the rainforest or beach.......the kitchen had everything we needed, the walk-in closet was enormous, the washer/dryer a godsend, and the central AC way more than adequate. The somewhat limited cable TV stations might be a bit of an issue for people who are used to having 500 channels at their fingertips but there are 2 "Redbox" movie rentals minutes away from the apartment and honestly, who wants to sit and watch TV when you're in such a beautiful place!!
Cerro Gordo is a beautiful beach.....as lovely as many we've been to in Isla Verde. Entry is free unless you park your car and then it's only $3-$4 for parking. During the week you might be the only ones there.....the weekends get a little crowded but never too bad......and it's a nice way to absorb a little local flavor. The pool on the grounds is beautiful and as others mentioned we were often there by ourselves......The pool "officially" closes at 6PM which seemed a little early to us but once or twice my kids "forgot" to leave and noone said anything. The apartment is very close to 2 supermarkets and just about any fast food you could imagine. We loved Dorado....but keep in mind that it is approx a 45 minute drive to San Juan, 60+ minutes to the rainforest, and approx. 90+ minutes to Fajardo (where most of the snorkeling excursions leave from) so you have to plan your stay and your day trips accordingly.....For us the beauty and quiet and calm of Dorado made it worth the extra driving.
Thank you Omar for a lovely vacation!

Owner's Response: We're thrilled to see we had yet another very satisfied renter!
To clarify the issue related to "The somewhat limited cable TV stations might be a bit of an issue for people who are used to having 500 channels at their fingertips", our cable package is pretty comprehensive since it includes all the major networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, etc.) plus the major kids channels and CNN International, and many other channels including the local ones.

Little Disappointed.
Submitted: August 23, 2012
Stayed: July 2012
Was not real impressed with the condo. We stayed at a condo in Isabella, and it was a lot nicer. The pool was very nice. Really disappointed with the beaches in the area. Restaurants were good especially Metropol. Location was good as far as getting to our destinations. All in all, it was satisfactory but not great.
Owner's Response: We strive to make our guests' experience the best one possible. In this case, we were in contact with this guest during their stay to make sure everything was ok, but did not receive any complaints from them about the property or the nearby beaches (and we wonder if they went to the beaches described in the additional information we provide to all our guests). As you will see from other 20+ reviews, others thought the both property and the nearby beaches are outstanding. One thing is for sure: we certainly make our best effort to make sure our guests are very satisfied, but we cannot do so to those who do not provide us with the opportunity. If you stay with us and anything is wrong, please let us know and we will do our best to correct the situation as quickly as possible, as we always have.

My family vacation
Submitted: August 13, 2012
Stayed: July 2012
The description for this property was exactly as it said it was. The photos were accurate showing the appearance of the property. The property was very spacious, clean and well maintained. When I first contacted the owner, I was very surprised as to how fast he responded to my email. He was very precise in answering all my questions. I will definitely recommend this property to everyone! I would also want to stay here again on my next visit. It was perfect for my family and I. The nearby locations were very close, like the supermarket, restaurants and the beach.

If you are looking for a place that's affordable, close enough to town and tourst areas, or a place to relax, this is the place to be. Luxurioous apartment with all necessities readily available, wounderful view, close to Cerro Gordo beach, with an extraordinary pool, and even more extraordinary people. I left completely satisfied!!

We found everything to be just like they described it would be. The condo was very comfortable for the 7 of us (5 adults and 2 kids), clean and with everything we needed for our stay. It's located close to San Juan, but at the same time out of the rush of the traffic. The beach, Cerro Gordo, was very close. White sands and the water so clear, it was really nice. They have supermarkets, restaurants, malls and movie theaters around so you don't have to go far to get what you need. And one of the best things was to get back to the condo, after a day out on the heat, to the air conditioner. You're not going to regret your stay at this location. We are looking forward to stay here again on our next visit to Puerto Rico.

From Bronxville to San Juan
Submitted: March 3, 2012
Stayed: February 2012
We stayed in Omar's apartment for a week in the month of February 2012. We were 6 of us including 2 toddlers. Overall we had a fantastic stay.
Omar made himself available at all times. His wife met us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment. It is part of gated community and we felt safe staying there. The beach was very close and we had a great time!
We wish we could have stayed longer.We highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to quiet place away from the city at a reasonable rate.
Bronxville, NY.

Our Stay in Dorado

Stayed: August 2011
Four of us stayed in Omar's apartment for 7 days, 6 nights. The advertisement describes the property accurately. It was clean and very roomy. Groceries, drugstores, restaurants were within very reasonable distances. The pool was absolutely fantastic! Staying in a gated community was another big plus. It was conveniently located between our families in Levittown, San Juan, Bayamon and Lares. Everyone of us was very pleased and enjoyed our stay. Omar was very accomodating and provided lots of details which added to our comfort and ease of vacationing. Thank you Omar!

We stayed at Omar’s place from Feb 16 to Feb 24 of 2011. The property was clean and accurately detailed in the description. My family had a wonderful experience. The kids 6 and 4 particularly enjoyed the backyard and the pool. We, the parents, enjoyed peace of mind a private backyard afforded us. Cerro Gordo was fantastic and nearby. In between our longer trips around the island, we spent most of our time at the pool and Cerro Gordo.
Mr. Pereira is professional, friendly, responsive, helpful and informative. He responded quickly by phone or in person to address all our requests or questions. His recommendations for local cuisine were spot-on. Our time here was too short and we look forward to our return and would highly recommend it to anyone else interested in a relaxing vacation.

Great place for fun and work

Stayed: February 2011
Two couples stayed at this villa for a work related vacation in Vega Baja. The location was great, the condo was clean, and the community ammenities were beautiful. We did not have much time to use the pool and beach but did manage to get a little relaxation time in the back yard. Omar met us at the condo to give us a quick tour as well as gave us invaluable recommendations on a few local markets and restaurants. Have a 'home' to cook, do laundry, and have wireless internet was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this place to friends/family as well as contact Omar for rental next year if we end up in Dorado.
