Exceptional

The Villa has a beautiful view of the golf course. All areas (dinning, living, bed rooms) are very roomy. They even have beach equipment I.e. chairs, bags, coolers, sand toys for the kids). Everything was exceptional. The community is very quiet which provides for a very goodnight sleep. It is also located very conveniently to great restaurants, beaches, and rainforest.
Spacious enough for the whole family with a fully stocked kitchen and a beautiful beach that is not crowded. Not able to use pool by the beach and not walkable to the beach with young kids or elderly.

The community pool is available for villa stays, while the Beach Club pool is reserved by the resort for hotel guests and residential owners.
We truly hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable time overall, and we’d love to host you again in the future.
What a perfect well kept property for our vacation. Nadia and Tony were wonderful hosts. We absolutely will stay with them again should our vacation plans bring us back to Puerto Rico which I am sure they will as we loved it. So much to do, the beach was so wonderful, the villa was beautiful and perfect for my wife my brother and his wife and myself.

Thank you. It was a pleasure having you as our guest
Great place for relaxing. I will definitely recommend this place . Initially It was a bit of a challenge to find the Villa once on the resort. Best part was having my morning coffee over looking the golf course.
This VRBO far exceeded our expectations, and we already knew we were going into a lovely place. The owners went above and beyond to make our Christmas family trip special. The condo itself is much more spacious that the photos can capture. We are a family who cooks all our meals at home, and everything you need is there. We rented the golf cart, and the other reviews are correct about the hills. Our family is super athletic, however we traveled with our grandma and also carted kitesurfing gear to/from the beach, so it was worth it. Note: the golf cart is new and seats 6-9 passengers. It’s hard to explain, but it really is a steep uphill both to & from the beach, so plan ahead. They condo within the Wyndham property is so fantastic — meaning the entire resort property sits on a beautiful section of beach and is very well maintained. Our biggest highlight is that the large condo was well decorated for the holiday which made our family trip that much more amazing! We played music through the tv and all sat in front of the beautiful Christmas tree playing games. THANK YOU!

Thank you so much it was a pleasure having you as our guest and are delighted you Christmas was memorable.
The home was lovely, close to the beach and pool. Safe and quiet area, villa was comfortable for our family of 6. The host was attentive and easy to reach when needed. Our family was relaxed and had the best time ever.
Property is clean with access to a private beach and close to the national forest El Yonque.Beds were comfy, and it was a lovely home.Only recommendation would be to get a car; the walk to the beach is up/down a huge hill
Always such an amazing place to stay and community!! Thankful we found this hidden gem!! We will be staying again!! Thank you so much for being so accessible and accommodating! Blessings!
We had a wonderful time in Puerto Rico and loved this place. It was very clean and in a great location. We loved the beach at the bottom of the hill. Big enough waves to be fun, but not dangerous. We have been to a lot of beaches and this was the best balance of fun and safety.
We had a fantastic time in Puerto Rico! The balcony was wonderful, very peaceful. It was great having access to washer & dryer, and nice touches were extra towels, a variety of coolers/beach chairs/beach equipment & cooking supplies for our use.

Thank you Tony, it was a pleasure having you as our guest.
This villa is amazing. Plenty of room for all of us. The beds were comfortable, extra blankets and sheets, plenty of beach supplies provided, kitchen appliances worked perfectly, place is right next to the beach, pool, casino, etc. we all had such a fun weekend at this property.
wonderful spot, great 3 Bedroom condo, enjoyed by myself my daughter, son in law, and 3 children, Location allowed day trips to rain forest, 3 different beaches, ferry to Vieques, and San Juan. Wonderful host
Everything was exactly as advertised and very spacious for our family of six. The nearby beach was excellent, lined with coconut trees for welcome shade when needed. The location has good access to El Yunque and bioluminescent tours but the drive to San Juan was tiring. Overall a great experience.

Thank you Gregory it’s been a pleasure having your family stay in the Villa.
My family and I stayed in the villa for our annual trip to PR, and the villa did not disappoint, the house was spacious, a/c’s in all rooms, and all the conveniences of home. The host provides EVERYTHING you will need from beach chairs and coolers to games for a game night, everything is labeled and all TV’s were easy to use. The mattress in the main suite was a bit too soft for my taste but I still slept like a baby! LOL!My favorite thing to do was sit on the balcony on one of the rockers and enjoy the view and the peace. The surrounding area is one of our favorite places to stay as it is close to everything and still offers the beauty of nature. I highly recommend this villa! Our host Nadia was easy to reach and answered any questions we had.
We had alittle trouble finding our Villa but when we did we were so happy. I loved having coffee out on the patio. Beds were very comfortable. The property management staff were very prompt in responding to my questions. Maybe supply more kitchen towels and dish towels. Wonderful vacation with my family
Thank you Nadia for an amazing experience. The house is beautiful overlooking the golf course. Nadia was very responsive with all our needs. I highly recommend this property
Tony’s place was perfect. Close to the beach, pool, and town. We felt extra safe in the gated community. My kids spent a lot of time watching golfers on the patio. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could think of which was nice to not have to run to town to buy extra supplies. The beds were comfy and we would absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend this place!

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this home because of the beautiful ocean cross breezes that are in this particular Villa due to its elevation and location. The open and modern concept fits the lifestyle that so many of us expect in todays home environment. And the beauty of the grounds in Rio Mar are unparalleled, surround by the beach on 1 side of Rio Mar and the Rain Forrest - El Yunque on the other side.
Security, Service and safety offered in Rio Mar makes for a very conformable stay where you can feel at ease. Guard Gated main entrance and another guard gate at the Condominium Villa Las Brisas.
Love to spend time dancing and eating at the Hotel in the Resort and walking on the beautiful beach!
