The Space:
Romantic, private, and overlooking tropical gardens and the Caribbean Sea, Mangó y Playa at The Villas at The Horned Dorset is the epitome of luxury in paradise. Mangó y Playa is a one-bedroom, 2 full bath luxury villa with a private plunge pool. The villa is steps away from a stunning infinity pool and the beach is a one-minute walk away.
On this beach, you can enjoy a morning or afternoon dip, appreciate the scenery and let the waves caress your feet.
If you are looking to relax, enjoy quiet surroundings, and still have all the fun and action Rincón has to offer a short drive away, then this is the place for you!
IMPORTANT NOTE #1: This villa is not located at The Horned Dorset Hotel (which is closed). It is located at the Villas at Horned Dorset, directly beside the hotel. The common areas and pool of the Villas are in pristine condition. Once you get off the main road, you will encounter narrow countryside roads for approx 3-5 minutes until you get to the property.
IMPORTANT NOTE #2: THIS VILLA DOES NOT HAVE WIFI OR TV. Also, the complex offers a full-size generator & water tank in case of an interruption in electrical or water service.
IMPORTANT NOTE #3 - PLUNGE POOL MAINTENANCE: The pool man has to access the outdoor patio every Thursday during the morning to clean the plunge pool. No exceptions. Guests do not need to be at the property for this, since they don't need access to the unit. Please reach out to us before booking if you have any questions regarding this service.

LOCATION
There are many things to do in Rincón, Puerto Rico. This part of the island is best known as "The town of beautiful sunsets." Staying at Rincón you will enjoy a laid-back atmosphere, delicious restaurants, and great surfing beaches.
Here are some of our favorite things to do:
Explore the large selection of local restaurants. Some of our favorites include The English Rose, La Cambija, Carta Buena, Kaplash, El Tamboo Beside the Point, The Beach House, and La Copa Llena. Check out a new restaurant called La Serina, a great Tiki and sushi bar located downtown.
Relax at the secluded beach, private plunge pool, and infinity pool at The Villas at The Horned Dorset. This oceanfront property has a private area where guests can wet their feet in the ocean and soak up the sun. The apartment includes beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers.
Visit the local beaches like Steps, Maria's Beach, Sandy Beach, Domes Beach, and Corcega.
Take a picture of the beautiful "El Faro Lighthouse" at Punta Higuero.
Watch an afternoon of surfing at Marías Beach and stop for a drink at the Calypso Bar which is right by the beach.
Take a paddle-board tour with the folks at Rincon Paddle Boards
GETTING AROUND
We strongly recommend renting a full-size car as there is a multitude of activities within a 30-minute drive which you will not want to miss out on. The villa includes 1 unassigned parking spot.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
We strongly recommend that all guests purchase travel insurance, especially during the peak months of Hurricane Season, which are July to October. Travel insurance is inexpensive and will reimburse travelers for most expenses associated with canceling travel outside of the cancellation window; however, this will depend on what the coverage purchased covers. Make sure to review and understand the options before purchase. Disclaimer: we are not associated with any travel insurance companies.
