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.

I didn't use lots of amenities there, but the beach is really beautiful. Inside hotel is not new but clean, staff are helpful ... and kind. Wifi charges $14.99 per day or $39.99 three days but have about five free computers for visitors to use. Self parking is $15 per day and valet parking is from $20.

Useful review

Karina Nov 30, 2009

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.

Would recommend to a friend!

We had a great time. Went swimming in both pool and beach. Very serene setting with waves crashing on the beach at night. ... Casino was very small and restaurant was over priced but overall a very nice vacation was had by all. Do rent a car if you want to go sight seeing. Parking at hotel is $15/day for hotel guests but well worth it considering the prices of taxi rides and shuttle services. Hotel is very nice with very courteous staff. The only negative with the room was that the floor was always dirty so we had to wear flipflops to avoid getting the bottom of our feet dirty.

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.

The RioMar is located in Rio Grande, which is a wonderful town. Plenty of restaurants and next to the beautiful El Yunque ... Rain Forest. The staff was wonderful, polite, accomodating. The food at the resort was expensive. We traveled to local restaurants and their are free shuttles from the resort to Richie's, Hacienda Garibaldi. I would recommend eating off the resort because the food from the locals are wonderful! The beach is long, dark brown sand, clean, Atlantic side. Water is clear and warm.

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.

The entire hotel was booked so we were upgraded to the ocean villas! The villas were amazing with a private pool and a ... private beach. Heard many complaints from those staying at the main resort about their rooms but did not witness any of them. My review is for the villas no the main resort. Things are over priced and you are stuck at the resort if you dont have a car.

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.

It is out of the wasy but quiet and very pretty location. Needs some cleaning - hall carpet, pool, hot tub. Staff was VERY ... nice. Don't pay their BIG fees for excursions. Rent a car (pay $15 per day to park) & venture out on your own. We took the Eastwind (out of Fajardo - this company is great) high speed boat to Viequez Island for the night tour of Mosquito Bay. The bioluminescent dinoflagellates display was awesome - be sure to get off the boat & swim.

Great Resort

DWass1 Aug 31, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

Great Resort for Beach, Beach Beach! Restaurants at hotel, and locally, are underwhelming. However, San Juan is 40 minutes ... away by car. Rent a car and bring a GPS if you have one. Best Meal: in Old San Juan - the Parrot Club and Aguaviva. Best Activity - other than Beach - El Yunque and sunset walk on the Paseo de la Princesa overlooking San Juan harbor to El Morro castle. Great weather - even in the heart of hurricane season - but hot! hot! hot!

Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa A Wyndham Gra

Disapointed Traveler Aug 25, 2009

Worst hotel that I have ever stayed at. The hallway carpeting was dirty and smelly. Ice machines did not work. Beach was ... very dirty. I checked out early and went to El Conquistador in Fajardo. Would not reccoment this hotel. Price was not even that great.

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.

--Island nativewannabe, Purcellville,VA Dec 26, 2009

Dining tip, Short Drive

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.

--Miki, Tucson, AZ Dec 22, 2009

Money savers tip, In Hotel

Get some food with you and order refrigerator in hotel for $10 per day.

--Karina, Chicago, IL Nov 30, 2009

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.

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!

--Calvo, Jefferson City, MO May 27, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Drive

don't miss the rain forest! the hotel offers a variety of tours including hiking and horseback.

--megan28, columbus, Oh May 9, 2009

Dining tip, Short Drive

Eat breakfast at the Isla Mar bakery and save a lot. Also visit Don Pepe's for good local food.

--JF, Woodbridge, VA Apr 27, 2009

Dining tip, In Hotel

Expensive, but the food was decent. I would advise people to rent a car and eat outside of the hotel if that is an option just for variety

--babs, New Jersey Apr 22, 2009

Money savers tip, Short Drive

Short drive or long walk (~1 mile w/ hills) - Buy ALL alcohol, snacks, soda/mixers, water ... etc. from the local market(s). You can probably save yourself $500-$1000, depending on the length of your stay. Normally, I don't mind spending a little extra for convenience, but there is a decent amount of money that can be saved... perhaps, if it was an "all-inclusive" resort it may be better.

--Keith & Meg - April 2009, Rio Grande, Puerto Rico Apr 22, 2009

Shopping tip, Short Drive

Nice Outlet Mall about 9 miles from hotel

--Chanda, Hyattsville Dec 19, 2008

Dining tip, In Hotel

That is it...NOTHING ELSE. Everything else is at least 30 mins to 45 mins away. And it is NOT ethnic...there is one local place at the end of the hill headed towards the resort that is very good. But you need a car or the cab will cost you $25 one way..just to get you off the property. The drive is only 7 minutes if that!
