About this apartment rental
Our property is Located WITHIN the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Puerto Rico Golf & Beach Resort and is part of the 500-acre resort community bordered by the El Yunque National Forest, two spectacular golf courses, and the magnificent Atlantic Ocean filled with amenities for all guests.
AMAZING Ocean and Beach Front view and fresh tropical breezes to enjoy. Air-conditioned Studio, High-end furnishings for your comfort. Smart TV with Cable TV, NETFLIX and other internet movie sources available. Automatic emergency diesel generator and water cistern that provides power to the property if there is an outage - you'll never be without water or electric! (Very important, in case power outages occur.)
Soak in relaxation on a mile+ of secluded beach or at the Villa’s oceanfront swimming pools or head into the exclusive Mandara Spa located in the Hotel, where you can give yourself over to complete pampering. Go all in at the 7,000-square-foot casino or direct your indulgences to several specialty shops also located in the Hotel.
You can practice your golf swing. In this amazing resort you can practice your game in one of two Championship 18- hole Golf Courses, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the mountains of the El Yunque rainforest, and the Mameyes River.
The Ocean Course
The 18-hole Ocean Course, designed by legendary course architects Tom and George Fazio, lies between the mountains of El Yunque rain forest and the shimmering Atlantic. This 6,716-yard course winds among lakes and the natural contours of the land offering gorgeous and challenging play. Enjoy the magical moment of playing in ocean breezes with the sound of waves on our signature beachfront 16th hole.
The River Course
The 18-hole River Course, designed by PGA great Greg Norman, rolls alongside of the gentle Mameyes river. The natural terrain of the land inspired the placement of the holes, while preserving existing foliage, creating an immaculately lush, beautiful course with vistas of the mountains and sea. This spectacular course is ideal for all skill levels and features wide fairways, open greens, light rough, and shallow bunkers along its 6,945 yards.
If you like tennis better, you can practice your Tennis swing at the Rio Mar Resort Community Tennis Club, the Caribbean’s largest tennis Facility. Play tennis under tropical skies in one of the 11 Har-Tru® courts and two Laykold hard courts – four lit for evening play. Har-Tru® is known as the world's leader of clay tennis courts. Laykold® is the official surface of the Miami Open and has been since 1984.
*Reservations for golf and tennis is required.
You can also try your luck at the hotel’s casino or dine on delicious cuisine at the hotel’s on-site restaurants and bars, all within a 2-minute walk from the property. If you want to indulge in the local culinary experience, there are many restaurants within a 10-minute drive including the well-known Luquillo "Kioskos", where you can enjoy many of the local foods, sea food galore, including the famous "Mofongo Relleno".
The property is right across the road from the El Yunque National Forest. El Yunque is the only tropical rain forest in the national forest system. At nearly 29,000 acres, it is one of the smallest in size, yet one of the most biologically diverse of the national forests hosting hundreds of animal and plant species, some of which are found only here. There are great hiking trails to waterfalls, tropical plants, orchids, beautiful views and more as you walk or drive through this tropical paradise. Some trails remain closed for repairs after the impact of Hurricanes Irma and María. You can find information on the trails, recreation areas and services currently available.
The property’s location is perfect as you are a short drive away to other activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, Jet skiing, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, zip-lining, paintball, and the Fajardo bio-luminescent bay (one of five in the world). Also in nearby Route 66 Outlets, is Puerto Rico’s first K1 Speed in the Caribbean and is the first all-electric indoor go-karting center in the Island. The 40,000-sq. ft. facility is located within the chic and popular Outlet at Route 66 in the municipality of Canóvanas (10 minutes away from the property) and will feature the best karting to be found on the island, in addition to bowling, bumper cars and the latest racing simulators.
If you feel adventurous, you can take a day trip to Flamenco Beach in Culebra Island, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world according to Conde Nast's Traveler magazine or book a full-service sailing with one of the many Catamaran outfits out of nearby Fajardo. We can help with putting you in contact with tour guides that will help you plan your activity away from the resort. Or you can always reach out to the Hotel’s Concierge nearby, that we are sure will be more than happy to assist.
You are also a 30 – 45 minute drive away from Old San Juan and World-class Restaurants, Museums, Convention Center and Event Facilities via the brand new US-specs Road 66 Toll Road. Puerto Rico is famous for the Rum made on the island and you can't miss the tours of rum distilleries in San Juan. Go explore!

The unit is gorgeous, nicely decorated and fully stocked with all you need. The hotel is close by and the facilities both onsite and at the hotel are also great. Would definitely stay here again. One small issue is parking. There is only 1 spot provided so if you have more than 5 people, either get a mini-van or large SUV or you will have to find alternate parking for a second vehicle or a golf cart.
On a side note, we learned that the resort-area is made of several "clusters" and each one has their own/different rules. Also, we were told the beach club was "owners only" and access to their pool was not allowed, but we could use the beach, bathrooms and food/drinks for purchase. Went only once, did not miss it. The pools and beach at the Ocean Villas complex are among the best, probably second only to the hotel itself.
We tried all the restaurants at the hotel. The breakfast buffet was stupendous! Tiki Hut bar has great food and drinks, too. Local restaurants and Luquillo "kioskos" are good and close by but venture carefully. Access, parking, etc. can be tricky but worth it. The grocery store is a 10-min drive west (towards San Juan) and well stocked. We bought more than we needed, for sure!
All this to say we loved the stay and would stay here again, just but be aware to avoid small issues that have little or nothing to do with the condo unit itself. The owners and local administration will do what they can to make sure you're taken care of! Highly recommend!

Updated condo with nice kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms. Perfect location with so many activities within 30 minutes. Beautiful beach 20 steps from condo. Resort includes good restaurants and golf, too. Would definitely stay here again.

This was the perfect Puerto Rico family stay. I wanted a clean, private, convenient location that included a view, beach access, and a pool for the little ones, and this location was everything we hoped for.

The villa made for a perfect vacation. Spacious, clean, and well decorated. The pool and beach were right outside our unit and both were amazing.

Condo was beautiful and was well equipped. We loved being so close to the beach, pools and resort. I would highly recommend this facility to friends and family.

Enjoyed our family stay. Beautifully updated well appointed condo. Even had sand toys for the kids.

Everything was perfect and easy from check in to check out. The villa was well stocked and had absolutely everything we could need and more. The beach was beautiful and the amenities next door at the resort came in very handy. The hosts check in guide included many recommendation on activities and restaurants that were awesome! We would definitely stay here again! Great value for the price!

My family and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. It is gorgeous inside and out. The villa was stocked with items we didn’t think to get from the store on our way in including beach chairs and toys. Olga has been an exceptional host throughout our entire stay.

We had a great stay and would definitely recommend it for a tropical vacation. Our only 2 quibbles are there was no umbrella to use at the beach and we learned we needed to reapply sunscreen every hour to prevent a burn. The other issue was the electric keypad on the exterior door stopped working but we were provided a key to use instead. The electric keypad was malfunctioning in a weird way that caused it to unlock itself. So we’d go to sleep with a locked door and wake up to an unlocked one. Management was quick to respond once we realized the issue in our last day so hopefully that has been resolved.

The location of the villa was PERFECT! The beaches NEVER filled with people nor did the pools. We had such calm privacy and it was NOT off season! We ate at the resort most days but easily Uber’d to all of the cool sites and recommended restaurants when we wanted. The Villa was grand! So beautiful and well equipped with everything we needed. The showers were wonderful and the balcony and beds were awesome.
10/10 would come again!
4.9
This was a wonderful location with beautiful views and the apartment was lovely and modern. The property had all the amenities for the beach/pool (floatie, boogie board, beach toys, and beach chairs) and a well-stocked kitchen - super helpful when traveling with children. The hosts were so responsive, the staff at Ocean Villas were great, and it was nice to have access to the Wyndham restaurants/cafes while still going back to the quieter pools on this property. You're close to some fun places for outings such as El Yunque and Loquillo beach. Highly recommend this spot - we will be back!
4.9
This is a wonderful place to stay for a worry free beach trip. First, the pictures are 100% accurate. Second, the location can’t be beat. It’s a quick 2 min walk to the beach and 5 min walk to the Wyndham resort where you can enjoy their restaurants/coffee shop and we were easily able to get a taxi there when needed. Note, if we had been able to rent a car that would fit the 6 of us we would have, it definitely would have been more convenient and easy to get around. Third, you feel like you are staying in a place that the hosts live in, which means amenities are better than average and more than just salt and pepper are provided. Please don’t hesitate to book this place!

Easy to rent and communication was great. The condo is as pictured - clean, updated with everything you need including coolers for the beach. Awesome location by the beach and rainforest and next to the Wyndham resort. We had a wonderful spring break vacation!

My family was looking for quiet escape--warm sunshine, beachfront, quiet--but with access to restaurants. Villa Acqua was the PERFECT place for us! We loved absolutely every minute of our stay!
Vimarie was great with pre-trip communications and was super helpful throughout our stay.62
The villa was so beautiful inside and the views from every room where stunning! Everything was so neat, clean and organized it may our stay so easy!
We had plenty of room to spread out and the 2 bedrooms with private baths allowed everyone plenty of 2privacy and space. Having a fully equipped kitchen was key so we could have breakfast and snacks without leaving the villa.
The pools were just outside the villa and had plenty of chairs amd space for all guests and the access to the beach was super convenient. For the beach they had beach chairs, plenty of towels and a cooler in the villa. Both the beach and pool were so close that it made it easy to pop up to the villa when we needed to.6336
The sunrise on the beach was spectacular --except the bugs did take a liking to me (my husband and daughter were fine)---bring some bug repellent if bugs like you like they like me! After I started using the spray I was fine--just a tip!
The Wyndham resort next door was convenient to walk to. Great to grab a morning coffee or quick bite at the Roots To-Go. The resort pool bars were not exactly our crowd which was fine as we were looking for quiet beach time. All areas of the resort took credit cards but not cash.
We also ventured out of the resort for a few meals--Ritchies up on the hill was great! AMAZING VIEWS! Great service and Mofongo with the creamy garlic sauce was amazing! We also tried the Mexican restaurant, Dos Panza--great margs the food was good too. We enjoyed getting off the resort and enjoying the local flavor.
If you're looking quiet and beautiful, this is your place!

From the moment we booked the communication was amazing and they would respond to any request instantly whether it was 6AM or 11:30PM. We ended up loving it so much we extended our trip while there. The villa is immaculate and perfect for families. Everything was recently updated and they had coolers, chairs, floats, everything you need for the beach. The kitchen had every appliance imaginable and cannot say enough good things about the villa and the staff. We will certainly be back.

My parents have lived at Rio Mar for the past 40 winters. We always try and visit them once a winter. This time we did a ‘family’ vacation with 11 of us. My sister and I needed a place to stay that was close to my parents Villa and the rest of our family. Your condo was perfect!!! So close to everything and everyone (as we were all spread out in different condos in Rio Mar) I will be renting from you again....loved everything about your rental property....thank you for everything.

Great property
The owner took great care in making sure everything was right in this unit. Pictures do not do it justice. They supply full bottles of quality shampoo, conditioner, body soap, soap, cooler, 9 beach towels, 9 bath towels, 2 beach bags, beach JBL speaker, hotel supplies beach chairs, 4 USB charger port at bedside. The owners attention to detail is amazing. I only have one complaint. We did not rent the whole unit, only 1 bedroom without kitchen and use of other bedroom, unfortunately the iron was in the other bedroom. I wished there was one in our bedroom as well. We would definitely rent this unit again hands down. Thank you for a great trip at your resort. We also booked a tour with East Island Excursions and they did a fantastic job. Cap’t Carlos, Barbara, Sergio, Osvaldo, and Javier were very attentive, making sure we didn’t need for anything. Food was abundance and delicious. So glad they served sandwiches, chips, pasta and fruit. Nice light meal for our boat trip.
Thanks so much to everyone for a great vacation. Ladies in the office are helpful and easy to talk too. Code for entry into our room was made in such a way it was very GRS to forget. Will definitely come and stay here again!!
