The picturesque seaside town of San Antonio del Dorado (more commonly known as Dorado) in Puerto Rico is a popular tourist destination complete with beaches, famous golf courses and waterfront recreational parks. The most famous hotels in Dorado---the Hyatt Dorado Beach Hotel and the Hyatt Regency Cerromar Hotel---are well known for their luxurious amenities, but those amenities come with equally extravagant prices. Travelers seeking to enjoy the beauties of Dorado on a budget can stay at one of the town's less expensive hotels or rentals without sacrificing either comfort or location.
Located near the beach, the Golden Sands Villas is a discount resort that offers guests the amenities of a more expensive hotel---like a pool, spa tub, golf course, fitness center and tennis court---without the steep price. Rooms can start around $120, depending on the season, and are available in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites. There is a hotel restaurant on site, and room service is available to guests.
