Don't Stay Here!!!

Frequent Traveler Jan 19, 2010

This Hotel was way over priced and over rated. It's far away from most attractions. Cab to San Juan about $75 each way, from ... Airport $75 each way (for 2 people). Staff not friendly. Do not book excursions thru hotel, way over priced, most would be half of what hotel charges. Definately need car to get anywhere, traveling by taxi is expensive. Food sucked and way over priced. Drinks expensive. Not impressed at all considering this was supposed to be 4/5 star hotel. My experience overall was terrible, best service I got was from AVIS at hotel, I rented a car from the hotel thru AVIS. AVIS was great, very helpful. Hotel staff not!! You can find better places for a lot less money and much better location. Research hotels in Puerto Rico more carefully, I booked this last minute and regret not researching more. I would never stay here again nor would I stay with Wyndham again after this. Wyndham should be ashamed of themselves for hotel!

Rio Mar was too busy to care

Winter getaway Jan 11, 2010

Avoid this hotel during the peak holiday season (Christmas and New Year's) because the staff will tell you that all of your ... concerns are due to the hotel being booked. The rooms were grungy, heating was not available (and was desired during the two days of rain), and very few vegetarian meal options are offered at their many eateries.

Beautiful lobby...rooms not so much

Diana Jan 11, 2010

My expectations were really high with this hotel and unfortunately I was disappointed. The first thing I noticed was the lack ... of cleanliness on the hallways leading to my room. There are not vending machines, our first night we got there at midnight and everything was closed. If you wanted to drink something it would either room service or room service, which is very expensive. The toilet did not work right as well as the remote control. We advised the front desk but they did not fix them. Also, we paid extra for ocean view...we were given a room at the bottom, all the view was obstructed.On the good side, the lobby and the pool were nice and pretty.

A Wonderful Time in Puerto Rico

taco Jan 9, 2010

Would recommend to a friend!

We had a wonderful stay at the Rio Mar Beach Resort. The service was exceptional, the grounds were beautiful, and the ... amenities were just what we had expected. The food, though not inexpensive, was delicious - especially at their Italian restaurant, Palio's. We enjoyed the beautiful beach, as well as the adult-only pool. They seemed to also provide a nice array of activities for the kids. We can't say enough about the staff! It was a complete pleasure to interact with the men and women who are employed there. One of the beach food servers even came back to us to correct a billing error - we had been overcharged $00.56!! We are looking forward to returning to the Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa!!

Nice place..... rent a car

Nuyorican Dec 25, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We really liked this place, the staff is AMAZING. The food and drinks are really good but EXPENSIVE. Rent a car at the ... airport and make a stop at the supermarket for your own liquor and snacks if you want to save $$ while on the beach or poolside. This place could REALLY USE a DJ at night, there is NO nightlife here and you can get really bored at night. You have to travel to San Juan for nightclubs etc. Overall, we were very pleased and plan to return in the new year, only this time better prepared.

Useful review

Would recommend to a friend!

Experience and hotel: in general we liked our stay, we were not bored. Hotel has few restaurants; few pools; casino; small ... store with clothes, drinks and sweets; small store with swimming accessories; indoor and outdoor bar, golf, tennis, nice garden in front of the hotel; access to the beach + a lot of territory. Everything is done in a nice design. However, there is nowhere to go around the hotel; the closest place would be the city of San Juan. Rooms: "Ocean View" type room means you will get a little of ocean view. If you want most of your view to be the ocean, you need to get "Ocean Front" type room. We were able to upgrade "Ocean view" to "Ocean Front" for $25 per day. In general rooms were clean and handy. Beach: hotel has an access to public beach with yellow sand, no lifeguard. I did not see any other people beside from the hotel there. Hotel provides free umbrellas and beach-chairs. The beach and water is moderately clean. Service was very nice and helpful. We noticed that in general many people in Puerto Rico are sincere and eager to help. Prices: prices for food in restaurants and for taxi seemed a little high. Breakfast for 2 with coffee, orange juice + 2 omelets is $50. Taxi from hotel to San Juan - $80. Excursion for half-day to Rain Forest park - $60; snorkeling + trip to Culebra island - $150.

Beautiful hotel in a great setting

I was hesitant to book this hotel because of other reviews in [...], but my stay at the hotel was great! The staff were very ... friendly and helpful. The pool and beach were beautiful. The food was good. All of the amenities were included - plenty of beach chairs and canopies and umbrellas.

Dining tip

Richie's Cafe was the best food we ate in Puerto Rico, I would go back there again.

Talk to the local people.

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Drive

Do not miss the Bio bay, it is the best!!!. El Yunque rain forest park, Viejo San Juan, and if possible go to the Arecibo Observatory.

--Diana, Orlando Jan 11, 2010

Recreation/Attractions tip, In Hotel

if you rent a car and drive to the excursions it can actually be cheaper sometimes but for hassle free and more money you can just sign up at the concierge desks which they were really good

--First time traveler, Grand Forks, ND Jan 10, 2010

Dining tip, In Hotel

Expect to pay! Check your bills carefully. Tiki bar tries to overcharge on almost every bill. Get prices first, before ordering.

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Drive

Visit the rain forest, it is close by and wonderful

--Satisfied, Rochester, NY Jan 4, 2010

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Drive

you need a car if you stay here...they charge for each time you enter and leave...too bad even for self parking

--dad, los angeles, ca Dec 28, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Drive

You absolutely must see the bio bay while in Puerto Rico. The staff at the location are extremely helpful and friendly.

Tons of inexpensive food options in the near area

--EJB, Philadelphia, PA Dec 25, 2009

Time savers tip, In Hotel

If you are parking a car please note that there is a 15 minute window between when you get the ticket validated and when you can depart the garage...otherwise you have to go have the ticket validated again...and its a long walk from the garage to the bell desk.

Money savers tip, Short Drive

Don't pay the 50 to 90 dollar fee signing up for a tour of El Yunque. It is a 10 minute drive from the Rio Mar and it costs $3 to get in and you can drive yourself up and down the mountain at your own pace. There are many sightseers to point you in the right direction if necessary. Also you can find souveniers cheaper at the shops outside of the resorts.

--Anita, Connecticut Nov 16, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Drive

I would recommend hiking in the El Yunque Rain Forest. The forest is managed by the U.S. Depart of Natural Resources and the hiking is breath taking. Rent a car. We drove around the entire island and visited many resorts. Rio Grande is one of the top resorts by far! Take the ferry for $3.00 to Cuelbra Island. The beach is beautiful! Travel to the center of the island and go to Toro Negron Forest. Beautiful and you can hike to the highest elevation.

--One who loves to travel, Wisconsin Nov 14, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Drive

The rainforest is a short drive from the resort. If you have a car its free ($3 per person if you go to the welcoming center which is not required), but the hotel charges you $50 to go. They overcharged for transportation anywhere you go.

--Jersey Guy, New Jersey Oct 5, 2009

Dining tip, In Hotel

Dining and drinking in hotel very expensive. My advice would be to rent a car and shop outside of the hotel.

--neicey, carteret new jersey Aug 28, 2009

Don Pepe Restaurant (on side street off Road #3 before turning left to hotel): superb sea food and great service!

--coolsaul01, San Juan, PR Jul 26, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

Be prepared to invest in your enjoyment...

--The New Frontier, Carolinas Jun 30, 2009

Money savers tip, Short Drive

You can save some big $$$ on food by having a fridge sent to your room (Wyndham does not promote mini bars in rooms) for $50.00 the entire stay and buying snacks and sandwich meats to make in room.

--Big mama, Carolina, PR Jun 27, 2009

Entertainment tip, In Hotel

Enjoy the views and walks on the beach

--Carl Rivers, Beaufort, SC Jun 9, 2009

Dining tip, In Hotel

Be sure to take advantage of their extensive breakfast buffet. I assure you that you will not be disappointed!
