LOCATION

Casa Iris is located at Villas Del Golf within Dorado del Mar, a beautiful community in Dorado Puerto Rico that is well known for its gorgeous tropical grounds and beach access. Dorado del Mar is home to the Embassy Suites by Hilton. This is a safe and gated community that is great for families and anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing vacation. Casa Iris is a 45-minute drive from San Juan and the Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport.

Besides enjoying the beautiful villa and all amenities on offer, there are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:

Explore the local culinary scene with everything from local Puerto Rican food to excellent Italian and Asian options.

Dorado del Mar has its own casino - The Blue Dolphin Casino! Casa Iris is ideal for those who want to enjoy the casino nightlife and then retreat to a comfortable space less than a 5 minute drive from the action.

Road trip to the Cerro Gordo or Dorado public beaches. Both of these are long sandy beaches that are well protected from swell and are a 5-minute drive from the villa.

Explore the Camuy Caves – a huge cave system about an hour's drive away that is home to the third-longest underwater river in the world.

Spend a day in Old San Juan, a 35-minute drive away and the oldest city in all of the US.
