About this property

Beachfront Luxury 2BR Villa-Villa Celeste, Rio Mar

Summary:
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.

The Space:
AMAZING Ocean and Beach Front view and fresh tropical breezes to enjoy. Air-conditioned 2 bedroom and Central Air in the living room area villa, High-end furnishings for your comfort. Smart TV’s in every room and Living Room fully equipped with Cable TV, NETFLIX and other internet movie sources available, and many family games for you to enjoy. Fully equipped kitchen with all the appliances you can think of. 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. We are available to help you 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 new 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!

Ideal condo

We had a great time at this facility. It is steps away from the pools and the beach. The restaurants at the resort were excellent. We also went to the local restaurants which were very good as well. Loved having all the conveniences of home and having everything needed for a beach vacation including boogie boards.

Just Book it! Great Place, great management.

This was an easy 5 Star. There are 3 condo buildings on the same property, with access to two very nice pools. You can easily walk to the main Wyndham resort, to use all the restaurants and bars there.Property was very nice inside, the pics are accurate. We were with a large group staying in the same complex, they all said ours was the nicest.It came very well equipped, lots of beach chairs, well appointed kitchen, AND washer and dryer, so you can pack light.On the condo itself, the property manager, ViMarie reached out to us ahead of our trip and answered a bunch of questions, that was a nice touch. Further more, we had a very minor incident with the range top. There had been a brief power outage during the night, and the range wasnt working. I texted her and she was calling me in less than a minute. We simply had to reset the breaker, and cooking within minutes.I would book this place again if I were going to this area.Unrelated to the condo, if you do stay there, I highly recomend heading east on the beach past the wyndham resort, and cross over a very shallow inlet, another 200yds on the beach will lead you to a hidden gem, the Carabali Beach house. Its a very nice bar right on the beach with great cocktails and ceviche!

This rental truly lived up to its description. Wonderful views right from the deck, well appointed unit with everything you need, two pools (never an issue getting chairs), huge jacuzzi, beautiful sandy beach. Walk to the Wyndham resort (less than 5 minutes) for meals or drive 15 minutes to the Luquillo Kiosks. Also only a 10 minute drive to the rainforest.

Beautiful location, stunning views!

I would visit this property over and over again! The location is perfect for those who want to see Puerto Rico outside of San Juan. The property is safe and beautifully kept. Villa Celeste has all of the amenities you can need—we were delighted to find Yeti mugs and other non-glass drink ware to take to the pool, plenty of towels, comfy beds, top of the line appliances, etc. We were two couples traveling together and it was the perfect spot for us!

Ocean Villa - 2nd floor

We have never been to Puerto Rico before so did not really have a good idea of what to expect. Overall, the price for nicer accommodations seems a bit higher than other islands. This unit is nicely decorated with a stocked kitchen but definitely an older building that needs a facelift. The grounds are beautiful. It was very windy at the beach, pool, and our balcony (used the second balcony which was a bit more protected) while we were there but not sure if that is the case all of the time. We went to Luquillo beach two days which was very calm and beautiful. The rainforest is very close and there are several very cute restaurants nearby. The 5 oclock somewhere restaurant was convenient to have a quick walk away (not very well lit paths though). The air conditioning in the master bedroom was difficult to figure out and was either blasting cold air or not moving much air at all. Overall, the bed was comfortable in the master bedroom but the temperature was not due to the high moisture and difficult to manage air conditioner. Shower was nice with plenty of hot water.

AMAZING property and stay!

I just returned from a wonderful stay with my family at Villa Celeste. The property is exactly as pictured and was simply perfect for us. It is completely stocked with anything you could need (even more than in the descriptions -- for example, I wasn't expecting beach toys, boogey boards, etc. and it had it all). I had mentioned when booking that it was for my wife's 40th birthday and we arrived to birthday balloons and cake. It was above and beyond! I can't recommend the property enough!

A family paradise.

We had a fabulous stay in Rio Grande at the villa Celeste. This place is amazing. The location and convenience cannot be beat. My family loved taking advantage of both the beach and pool each day! Proximity to the resort and the rainforest was great. The unit was so clean and comfortable- we felt truly at home. The kitchen was well appointed for you to do meals there which was great since my kids are picky and restaurants can be tough (and expensive!). Sitting on the balcony at night whether it was calm, breezy or raining was so relaxing. Vimarie and Melissa were awesome property managers who were so responsive and resolved a small, minor issue within minutes. We would love to return here again.
