Consejos para la ciudad
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Walk to bars next door via the beach
For those who'd like to walk to the bars that are a stones throw away without having to walk through and then around the entire development, you can walk toward the beach, walk through the gated beach entrance, take a left and follow the path to the bars/restaurants. That entrance does close (I believe around 8p), so if you're out late don't expect to be able to get back in using that route!
Costumbres y cultura
Sundays are for the family and the beach!
Family beach parties are quite common on Sundays. Pull up, bring some food and drinks, enjoy good company and immerse yourself in the culture!
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Rent a Car
You definitely want to rent a car. Ubers and taxis can be a bit slow in Dorado. Taxi companies are available 24/7, though.
