El Ladrillo
El Ladrillo has been around for over 30 years and continues to lure guests out of the plush hotels for a night of intimacy and good food. Filled with old-world charm, the restaurant specializes in to-order steaks with plenty of back-up seafood; everything from octopus salad to lobster asopao (an island specialty, a delicious thick stew). It also functions as a mini art gallery, displaying a selection of local paintings.

Zen Garden
Though they shut the Hyatt Cerromar a couple of years back, the Asian/sushi restaurant has remained open and outside of the golf clubs it’s pretty much the only place to eat on this slumbering mega-resort. If you don’t mind braving the half-empty lobby, the food is still delectable and the staff will be more than happy to see you.

Dorado El Mar
Dorado has the best golf courses in the Caribbean, period. There are five 18-hole courses here and all remain open despite the recent closure of the adjoining Hyatts. Dorado's fifth and newest course is the Chi Chi Rodríguez-designed Dorado El Mar at the Embassy Suites. Greens fees at these courses vary depending on tee times.

Every morning, fishermen head out to see what they can hook; every afternoon, the fruits of their labor are served at this restaurant, just across from the public beach, which has amassed quite a reputation for creating the freshest, most delectable seafood dishes in town.

East Course
The famed East Course at the former Hyatt Dorado is the green jewel - Jack Nicklaus has ranked its 540yd 4th hole as one of the best in the world. Its major-league water hazards have helped it earn its rating as one of the planet's finest golf courses by Golf Digest.

La Terraza
Yes, it serves a mean paella, but La Terraza offers entertainment for dessert on a 2nd-floor rooftop terrace with distant views of the sea. Expect occasional live salsa music – although it’s usually pop rock from Hollywood soundtracks.

This is a lively seafood restaurant on Dorado’s public beach strip that is always buzzing after dark. Fresh fish is the mainstay and it’s generally good enough to attract the flush vacationers out of their resort nirvanas.
