We spent the past week at Golden Sands Villas. I'll start out with the good stuff. The staff is very nice, friendly and helpful. The pool area is large with lots of good lounging in the sun or shade. The views from each of our rooms on opposite sides were beautiful. Here we go with the not so good stuff:... more

We booked a holiday get-a-away on short notice. The San Juan area hotels were booked solid. The Golden Sands Villas are adjacent to the Embassy Suites hotel in Dorado, and share their amenities. We had a 2 bedroom condo, which was very spacious and comfortable. The only problem was the beach. Ocean access is blocked by a huge stone bulkhead.... more

This place is very difficult to find. I am really good about finding things but this place is a tuffy... Once there the parking was few and far between. The room was below average and needs to be redone. the beds were comfortable for a one night stay. If I would have gone here as my destination resort...I would have... more

This resort was pictured and appeared connected to Embassy Suites. The only thing connected was the pool (which was the best area of the complex.) Upon arriving, we were directed to a small lobby to check in. I couldn't believe I was in the right place! After negotiating our way into an over-crowded parking lot, we made it inside. Upon... more

No information on hotel facilities were found in the room, so had to call the front desk to get info, but many times, the call was not answered. There was a private beach, but most of the seabed was covered with... more

My husband and I have been to several areas of Puerto Rico, but had never been to the Dorado area. Our college age children were home (Boston) for winter break and part of their Christmas present was this trip. They just wanted to veg out so I wasn't too concerned with keeping them entertained every minute, as long as there... more

I stayed at the Golden Sands for approximately 1 week in August of 2007. I am familiar with the San Juan/Guaynabo/Dorado area and had originally tried to stay in one of the "super hotels" in the resort area of San Juan. However, they were all booked due to a national convention. The Golden Sands was a pleasant surprise as I... more

My fiance and I had planned on going for a quick getaway last weekend from New York City. We were planning on staying at the Embassy Suites in Dorado (we previously stayed in the Hyatt Dorado Beach, but that has since closed only to be converted into timeshares in the future). But due to the bad weather, we had to... more
