Which one is better? Cheaper? Better apartments? Well, that depends on what you plan to do. If you would like to play golf all the time... Dorado. If you are planing to work at a financial institution... Hato Rey. If you need to live near the airport... Carolina. Dorado is more a small town near the ocean, Hato Rey is like living near Wall Street in New York. A lot of movement during the day, because is a business sector (mostly banks) and extremely quiet during nights and weekends. And Carolina is super busy all the time. I hope that information helps.
