About this villa rental

VILLA PADILLA TRICE **Includes Golf Cart**
Impeccably restored to its original grandeur, Villa Padilla Trice, situated on the grounds of the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa, represents the best that Rio Mar has to offer. Overlooking the championship Ocean golf course, the villa possesses all of the hallmarks of the original Rio Mar aesthetic that has made Rio Mar a favorite destination for decades. Handmade Spanish tiles, terra cotta flooring and gorgeous variegated wood framing throughout lend to the villa's warm, authentic Mediterranean feeling, while recent updates add modern design touches the discerning guest will appreciate.

Appointed throughout with a minimalist mix of classic Modernist and traditional Spanish style furniture and a wide variety of local Puerto Rican art, the villa provides a casually elegant backdrop for the perfect Caribbean vacation. The villa's two terraces provide the opportunity to dine al fresco or luxuriate on the upstairs terrace and enjoy a bottle of wine while listening to the waves crash on the nearby beach.

It is truly a place to experience the natural beauty of Puerto Rico while maintaining a superior level of comfort. Extensive cross-ventilation throughout the villa brings the outdoors in and allows guests to enjoy Puerto Rico's cool, gentle tropical breezes without stepping away from the villa. Once you arrive, you may even find it hard to leave and experience the endless beaches, pools, golf courses, tennis courts, casino and restaurants withinin the resort , or El Yunque Rainforest directly outside of the resort.

In the spirit of stripping down to the bare essentials of casual elegance, high speed internet is made available for those who need to stay connected and a Boese stereo system will suit all your music needs, but guests will also notice the conspicuous absence of televisions and air conditioning in the villa, distractions that get in the way of experiencing the natural beauty that surrounds the villa. Every room is cooled by fans that circulate the fresh air moving through the villa. During your stay, you will awake to the sun rising over the ocean, breathe and be bathed by the fresh ocean air, and will be lulled to sleep to the gentle melodies of the coquís singing at night. It is truly a place to get away, relax and recharge.

Padilla-Trice was a great place for my family and I to stay while celebrating my 60th birthday. It was clean, the bed were comfortable. The Villa is close to the pool, and you can easy walk to the beach club, or you can take the gulf cart! It's only a 15 min drive to the kiosks at Luquillo Beach and less than that to. El Yunque. Old San Juan is and easy 45 min drive depending. Don't be put off by the lack of AC. With the cross breezes from the large windows and the stand fans, it was very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need if you want cook. Elliott, the owner and Lydia, the property manager promptly responded to emails and text messages. Overall, we had a great stay.

True authentic Puerto Rican experience. But villa should not be rented during summer months. Even with doors and windows open the house was unbearably hot.

We stayed at this cute Villa while attending a wedding at the resort. We loved the place. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for cooking. All the rooms have a wonderful view of the golf course and the ocean in the distance. The bedrooms have ceiling fans and huge windows. Two of the bedrooms have access to decks. The villa does not have air conditioning but with all the windows and fans we never felt like we needed it. The tree frog noises at night are incredible! Sleep with the windows open and you will be treated to a symphony of noises. Amazing. The place comes with a golf cart which we used to go to the beach each day. You have access to all the resort has to offer including the pools, beaches and restaurants. There are plenty of places close by to eat at off the resort as well. Very close to the rain forest. You must visit that! We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if we come back to Puerto Rico.

We (me, my husband, daughter, and daughter’s college roommates) visited during spring break. The villa is gorgeous and looks just like the pictures. The furnishings were comfortable for all 6 of us - beds included. Plenty of space to spread out with the two balconies so we didn’t feel crowded. No AC was no problem despite 80 degree weather every day - keeping the windows and doors open and the ceiling fans going moved the sultry air and was plenty comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed as well. The Cluster 2 pool, which was very clean and well maintained, is just a short walk and we only ever saw one other couple there. The beach was also just a short walk (10 minutes) or a quick zip away in the golf cart and was a really nice surprise. The water is clean with plenty of waves and a good supply of lounge chairs. Lots to do close by - the beach and kiosks at Luquillo, the rainforest, restaurants, and grocery stores. Lydia, the property manager, was very responsive though we needed nothing. We loved our stay and hope to return soon!

If your overworked, overstimulated, over-it entire being needs a tropical escape where you can throw open the French doors to a warm sun and a gentle breeze, sip your coffee on the open-air patio and walk barefoot on cool Mediterranean tile, Villa Padilla Trice is just the island balm you're yearning for. The place has everything you need (comfy beds, ceiling fans, stunning views, a well-stocked kitchen, a golf cart and a championship golf course, beaches, pools and hot tubs steps away) and nothing you don't (a TV, charging dock, air conditioning). The hosts are incredibly gracious and the neighbors quiet. Ditto for the neighborhood cats, though for the best night's sleep, bring earplugs to tone down the nightly serenade of the coqui frogs. Nature. R&R. Laidback luxe at its understated finest. The only thing VPT leaves you wishing for is more time to stay put. Don't worry, you'll be back.

I highly recommend this villa. It was beautiful, clean, and quiet and just a golf cart ride away from the resort and community beach. It was really fun to cruise around in the golf cart! There is a neighborhood pool as well. And it is a great location from which you can explore the local beaches and rainforest with restaurants and a grocery store with everything you need nearby.

The villa was a perfect location for our stay in February. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The lack of a/c was not a problem. The ceiling fans and cross breezes through the open windows kept us cool and comfortable. We loved sitting on the terraces in the morning with our coffee to admire the views. Elliott was very responsive to my pre-travel questions and Lydia, the house manager, had the villa ready for us upon arrival. We were welcomed with a pitcher of cold water with oranges in the fridge (much appreciated after a long flight), a bowl of fresh fruit, a bottle of Prosecco and a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. The villa was stocked with all the basic necessities in the kitchen and bathrooms that we needed. The beach was a quick walk or golf cart ride down the hill. The bird life is quite animated around the villa. If you are a light sleeper, you might consider bringing something to help you sleep. After the first night, however, I found the bird song very peaceful. There are also very good restaurants on the property and close by in town. The El Yunque Rainforest was a short distance as was the kayak tour in Loquillo.
