The Space:
Atlántico Sal is a trendy 326 ft² studio apartment located in the heart of Dorado. It features a queen bed, a kitchenette, a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, a laundry area with a washer (no dryer), and a full bathroom. This chic studio is just a 5-7 minute walk to one of Puerto Rico’s most beautiful public beaches - “Dorado Public Beach” - and steps away from restaurants and bars. The unit includes one assigned parking space for your convenience.
It is a part of the Atlántico complex which includes four additional boutique apartments also available for rent: Villa Atlántico Ola, Villa Atlántico Sol, Villa Atlántico Pez and Villa Atlántico Mar.
These modern and eclectic units feature outdoor semi-private areas where guests can enjoy a cooling swim in the plunge pool or simply relax after a day mingling around the beach or the nearby establishments. Atlántico Sal features air conditioning, WI-FI access, parking for one vehicle, and a washer (no dryer). This is an ideal spot for couples or solo travelers looking to explore the island of Puerto Rico.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
SECURITY CAMERAS: VIDEO SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS ARE INCORPORATED IN THE DEVELOPMENT ACCESS, OUTDOOR SURROUNDINGS, PARKING, AND POOL AREA.
PLUNGE POOL MAINTENANCE: THE POOL MAN HAS TO ACCESS THE COMPLEX EVERY FRIDAY IN THE EARLY MORNING TO CLEAN THE PLUNGE POOL. NO EXCEPTIONS. GUESTS DO NOT NEED TO BE AT THE PROPERTY FOR THIS.
SHARED PLUNGE POOL AND OUTDOOR TERRACE: PLEASE NOTE THAT THE POOL AND OUTDOOR TERRACE IS SHARED WITH 4 OTHER UNITS. IT IS NOT PRIVATE FOR THIS APARTMENT.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The studio features a comfortable queen bed, perfect for a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring the island. The modern full bathroom with shower includes hotel-size amenities like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash to get you off to a comfortable start.
NOTE: THE LARGER BLUE DOOR SHOWN IN THE LISTING NEXT TO THE BED IS NOT OPERATIONAL. IT HAS BEEN SECURELY SHUT TO ENSURE PRIVACY BETWEEN THE BEDROOM AND THE COMMON AREAS, SO IT CANNOT BE OPENED DURING YOUR STAY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET US KNOW.

We can leave a complimentary Pack and Play at the property upon request. This should be requested upon booking or no later than 5 days before arrival. Pack and Plays are subject to availability.
KITCHENETTE
Prepare your favorite meals in the convenient kitchenette, equipped with a hotel-size refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee maker, a blender, and a two-burner stove. It is a small but fully equipped kitchenette that is perfect for your extended stay. There is a table for two right next to the kitchen so that you can enjoy your favorite meals together.
GETTING AROUND & PARKING
The property includes space for one (1) **compact** vehicle. If renting a larger car, you would need to park on the street.
Renting a car is a must when staying in Dorado. You will need one to move around to nearby restaurants, shops, and beaches as well as to explore the rest of the island. Ubers are not readily available in the area and should not be depended on.
LOCATION
Atlántico Sal is located in the beautiful town of Dorado. This town has great charm and it is a 45-minute drive from San Juan and the Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport. Atlántico Pez has restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, and shops all within a short ride away.
Besides enjoying the beautiful villa and all the 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.
Chill at the beach! The Dorado Public Beach is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you are staying at Atlántico Sal. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and a cooler for a long day at the beach. You can also drive to Cerro Gordo Beach which is also a long sandy beach well protected from swell and is 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. There is a lot of history to be seen and great food, drinks, and shopping to enjoy!
