Amazing place!

This was a great property for our family of 6. Easy access to the pool and a short 3 min drive to the beach - or you can do the 10 min walk. Unit itself was perfect with extra blankets, laundry amenities, and basic kitchen supplies. Definitely recommend!

Great property and location

We have stayed in Rio Mar a few times and this property is top notch. The villa had everything we needed for our stay. The villa was very clean and everything we needed available. Will definitely recommend and will book once again when we return to Rio Mar.

Visit to Rio Grande

We had a great few days away in Puerto Rico. Patricia and Cima were promptly there when we arrived. They provided us with a range of restaurants and and places to visit. I can't say enough about their hospitality and generosity. We had a great time with our family at the Wyndham Rio Mar.

Piece of paradise

Our group of 7 women on a girls’ trip loved every minute of our stay in the villa, it was spotless and so well equipped! We loved having a cooler provided to take to the beach, the kitchen was great to cook in (we brought in a private chef one night!) and the beds were comfy. We plan to return!

Villa Prima Stay

The property was very comfortable, well-equipped, and perfect for our family with three adult children. The location was convenient for our excursions to El Yunque, Vieques, Hacienda Muñoz Coffee Plantation, Seven Seas Beach and Playa Escondida. The resort's beach was pleasant. Patricia and Cima were very responsive and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Wonderful!

This place was perfect for our stay. There was plenty of space for our group of 6 with each couple having their own bath. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Vanessa was so welcoming and even came to the airport to pick us up when there was a mix up with our rental car. The location was great but a rental car is a must if you plan to go off site.

Clean, spacious, great location

This place is very well cared for. It’s a great condo with its own private beach on the property, and two pools to use. It’s right near El Yunque and some local beaches that are definitely worth a visit. There are good restaurants near by as well. There are three good-sized bedrooms. Our family of five had plenty of comfortable beds to sleep on. Three showers were a bonus as well. Vanessa is wonderful and made sure we had a great stay. I highly recommend this place. If we go back to Puerto Rico, we will absolutely stay here again.

Great condo in a beautiful location

Our family five had a fabulous stay at this beautiful condominium located in Rio mar. The property is perfectly equipped, has excellent air conditioning, and looked to be recently renovated. All renovated showers, bathrooms, very comfortable bedding, and a very full and functional kitchen. Our group enjoyed walking to the beach, swimming at the condominium property and also just staying in the unit. It’s close to many restaurants and activities including the El Yunque rainforest, The Wyndham resort, the ferry boat too Viequez, Hiking and about 20 minutes to San Juan old town. I would highly recommend this condominium for groups wanting to explore this part of Puerto Rico. The owners were very accommodating and friendly, introduced us to the property and responded quickly to any inquiries.

Proctery was wonderful customer service even better

When we arrived we were informed there was an issue with the ac in the property we’d rented, however they placed us in a (larger) unit that actually suited our needs even better (it was all on one level and we had toddlers with us). The facilities were clean and well maintained, the customer service was outstanding. Not only did they help us with a new unit, one of the property managers went with my husband all the way back to San Juan to locate my parents who became lost on their way to the unit, and they also brought laundry to San Juan that we’d forgotten in the dryer, after we’d checked out, before we flew home. They are an amazing group to rent from and the property was wonderful.

Great vacation

Vanessa was a great host, making sure everything was in order and answering any questions we had. She also went out of her way to be helpful when there was an island-wide power outage: she brought over coolers with ice so that the food in the fridge would not spoil. The apartment is very spacious and in excellent shape. Everything worked well and there were plenty of towels, beach towels, boogie boards and beach toys, etc. Perfect for families with young kids.Note that the apartment does not have a backup generator and you do not have access to the Wyndham Beach Club and hotel pools. The pool for the compound was a short walk away and is a small pool that our kids enjoyed (4' deep, so good for little ones).

Great Property!

The villa was just as described and the property manager went above and beyond to answer our questions and provide guidance on the area, excursions, etc. We were well taken care of!This is not an issue with the villa or the owner but with the Rio Mar itself: The only issue we had is that the resort/Rio Mar itself is broken up into clusters, each with its own pool. We were with several other families that were in other clusters and our family was not allowed in those other clusters pools, even as a guest to the friends that we had staying in those clusters. It would have been one thing if there were actually other people (owners) using those pools but most times there were not. We felt some discretion could have been used by security in those situations as it became very frustrating and unwelcoming for our group. If you are traveling alone or have several villas all in one cluster, this is not an issue at all.

Wedding weekend misadventure

The rental property was beautiful and great in appearance. It had everything it listed, nothing was out of place or missing so this should have been a dream stay. One big problem was the toilets, water pressure were too low. If you use and flush toilet you couldn’t get another flush for about 45 mins to an hour. 3 bathrooms for 9 people.This should not have been a problem but it was! Very irritating , inconvenient and at times disgusting. The day of the wedding ceremony we went to beach early and felt we had plenty of time to get back & ready for 4pm service. When we returned at 1130 am and started getting ready… boom… all electricity went out. Called management to be told “there is nothing we can do to help”. “The electricity was out all over.” It got hot very quickly, no AC. Water for showers were ice cold and toilets weren’t flushing again. We were miserable and pressed for time to get ready. We were so sweaty we couldn’t apply make up, and our clothes were getting damp long B4 we could even leave the house. Manager had no Idea what happened or when electricity would be coming back on. Needless to say we were not happy with how we were feeling or looking by time we got to Hotel on the site for the Wedding. We soon learned that this was a planned electrical shut down. PLANNED!! We should have been told a head of time. This absolutely ruined the wedding day for me and my family. This was the reason we came!

Great location and resort

We were a girl scout troop using the house for a trip planned by our teenage girls. House was clean, water pressure in the showers was good. Pool near house was great and girls loved using the resort hotel pool and beach. Size was perfect for us (11 total, 4 adults, 7 girls). Beds on the first level were full size beds (adults used) to separate from the girls. Wish they were queen size, but it worked out fine. Hosts were regularly in touch and super helpful with everything.

Great for our large group

We had a large group of 21 family members of all ages split across this Villa and a secondary property from the same owners and they were both clean and fully stocked with plenty of room and bathrooms to be comfortable. The view of El Yunque from the balcony is amazing. Everyone was friendly in the area and the booking process was easy. Vanessa greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the property. She is very friendly and was extremely helpful working with us to plan excursions ahead of our trip so that all our time was organized and we could see a lot of the island. We would definitely come back to stay again.

Wonderful

Loved this place! Our family of 9 stayed here for a few days and we had an amazing time. The home is beautifully decorated, spacious, and clean. Located in a tranquil, gated community, with access to a community pool and beach, and very close to El Yunque rainforest. They had board games for kids to play with, pool noodles for the pool, and boogie boards for the beach. The kids enjoyed all of that. And the kitchen has everything you need to be able to cook. The host was exceptional, always attentive and responsive whenever we contacted her with a question. The day we were supposed to get there, our flight got delayed and we didnt arrive until 1am. The host still waited for us at that time to show us the way to the apartment since it can be confusing the first time driving through the resort, especially at night. We were truly thankful to her for doing that.
