FAQs

Q: Is the Property part of the resort?
A: Yes – Our Property is located within the exclusive Dorado Beach East security gated community, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve Resort. It’s about a ten minute golf cart ride along the beach from the Ritz-Carlton Reserve. You’ll enjoy the privacy of our unique Property while still being inside the main Dorado Beach Resort grounds.

Q: How are the Main Residence and Guest House arranged? Are they private?
A: The Main Residence and Guest House are attached but designed as separate, private living spaces. Each has its own entrance, kitchen, living area, and bedrooms. When you reserve the entire property, you'll have exclusive access to both, making it ideal for families or groups who want to stay together while still enjoying extra privacy.

Q: Is the pool private or shared?
A: The pool and hot tub area are shared between the Main Residence and the Guest House. This is not a communal pool for the whole resort.

Q: How far is the beach, and can we walk or use a golf cart to get there?
A: The nearest beach is very close – roughly a 10-minute golf cart ride from the house. You can also walk if you’d like (about 15 minutes on foot).

Q: Is the beach private to the resort? Do we have access?
A: All beaches in Puerto Rico are public, including those within the resort. There are lounge chairs available at the beach, and a water sports center for rentals (kayaks, kite & surf boards, etc.).

There are many amenities included for all our guests without any extra fees! You will have access to:

Pools & Parks: Bunker Pool & Park, which features a swimming pool, beach volleyball court, tennis courts, and basketball court. There’s also Livingston Park, a playground and shallow kiddie pool with slides and water features for little ones.
Beach Access: The resort’s beach areas with seating/benches are open to you as described above.
Trails & Nature: The Rockefeller Nature Trail, a beautiful rainforest trail, is accessible to all guests for walking, jogging, biking, or golf cart rides. (Note: the trail is closed from sunset to sunrise for safety.)
Fitness: A 24-hour Residents’ Gym is located in the community and available for your use anytime. No membership is needed to use this fitness center.
The resort’s three signature restaurants (COA, Positivo, and Flor de Sal) are open to the public – If you’d like to dine at the hotel restaurants, you can reserve for parties of 4 or fewer on OpenTable, and larger parties by calling the resort’s reservation line. For Spa Botanico appointments, you may email or call the spa directly. We’re happy to provide contact info.)

Q: What is the Temporary Resort Membership, and do we need it?
A: The Dorado Beach Resort Temporary Membership is an optional program for guests that provides access to additional exclusive amenities. Whether you need it really depends on how you plan to spend your vacation. If you’re an “island explorer” with a rental car, eager to venture out to local eateries and attractions, you can absolutely enjoy your stay here without a membership. You’ll still have the beach, one of the resort pools, the gym, trails, etc. at your disposal. However, if you intend to relax on-site most days – for example, sipping piña coladas while your kids play at the private Encanto Beach Club pool or the Watermill water park, playing rounds of golf or tennis, joining group fitness classes at the Dorado Beach members’ gym (shown in our photos) , and sampling all the resort’s restaurants – then the temporary membership is the key to unlock all those experiences. In short, it’s not required, but it does tremendously enhance your access to all of the Dorado Beach amenities if you want the full resort experience. For this reason, we highly recommend that you add the membership to your stay. Note: the Ritz Carlton pool and hot tub is reserved exclusively for their hotel guests and is not included in the Temporary Membership.

Q: What does the Temporary Membership include, and how much does it cost?
A: A temporary membership grants you exclusive access to a range of luxury amenities at Dorado Beach Resort. With membership, you can enjoy:

Encanto Beach Club – a private members-only beachfront club with a pool, lounge areas, and service.
The Watermill Aquatic Park – a family-friendly water park with slides and lazy river (great for kids and adults alike!).
Golf Courses – two 18-hole championship golf courses on-site (reservation and greens fees are still required to play)
Tennis & Pickleball – access to tennis courts and sports facilities (lessons or court fees may apply in some cases).
Fitness Centers – three state-of-the-art fitness facilities including those at the Encanto Beach Club and Golf clubhouse.
Spa Botanico – the world-class spa at the Ritz-Carlton Reserve (membership allows access; treatments are billed separately).
Dining and Club Events – entry to exclusive member-only dining venues and social events. For example, the Goodwinds Beach restaurant, Barlovento, (and several other clubhouse dining experiences) are accessible to members. In total, the resort offers up to eight unique dining experiences, many of which are available or enhanced via membership.
The cost for a temporary membership is a one-time $350 per person (for adults and children 6 years and older) for the duration of your stay ($700 per person on holiday seasons). Kids under 6 are free. In addition, the club requires a $200 per guest per day refundable deposit, a pre-paid spend. This deposit covers any charges you make to your membership account (for food, services, etc.) and any unused portion will be refunded after you depart (typically about two weeks after checkout).

Q: How do we apply for the temporary membership?
A: We as your hosts will sponsor and handle the application on your behalf – making it very easy for you! If you decide to enroll, just send us the full names of all guests aged 6 and over, and one email address to use for the application. We’ll submit the paperwork to the Club Membership Office (usually about 2 weeks before your arrival), and you’ll receive an electronic acknowledgement to sign. Once processed, you’ll be issued a temporary membership number for your stay. The membership cards can be picked up at the membership office. Keep in mind, resort activities and most of the restaurants require reservations even with membership.

Q: If we don’t get the membership, can we still use the water park or beach club for a day?
A: Even if you choose not to purchase memberships for everyone, there are a couple of options. Sometimes guests opt to get just 1–2 memberships for key members of their group, and those members can then escort others into the facilities as their guests. (For example, with two membership cards, your whole family of 6 could go together to Encanto Beach Club – the two cardholders can sign in the others as their guests.)

Transportation & Getting Around

Q: How far is the property from San Juan and the airport?
A: We are located in Dorado, about 30–40 minutes by car west of San Juan and the main international airport (SJU). It’s a straightforward drive along the highway/coastal road. If you’re renting a car, it should be an easy trip.

Q: Is a rental car recommended, or do you offer transportation?
A: If you plan to explore attractions and restaurants around Puerto Rico beyond the resort, having a rental car is definitely convenient. However, if you prefer not to drive, we can connect you with a private driver for airport transfers and local rides. Just let us know if you’d like to use these services and we will give you the contact information. Once you’re at the resort, a car isn’t needed for getting around Dorado Beach itself. For venturing into town (Dorado has grocery stores, pharmacies, etc.) or day trips around the island, you’d use a car or taxi service.

Q: Tell us more about the golf carts – are they included?
A: Please note that a golf cart is not included with this rental.
For guests who would like convenient transportation within the community, golf cart rentals are available through Carts4You, located within Dorado Beach Resort & Club. Carts4You offer several rental options with daily, weekly, and monthly rental availability. Guests can reserve directly through Carts4You for current rates and availability. We recommend booking in advance, especially during holidays and peak travel seasons.
