Best Spot in Puerto Rico at Rio Mar Beach & Golf Resort 20 min. to San Juan
About the Resort
The Gorgeous Mediterranean-style private beach villa is situated in the exclusive, guard-gated community of Rio Mar Beach & Golf Resort. The resort is anchored by the Wyndham Rio Mar and is surrounded by 7 clusters of private residential villas and homes. The home prices range from $500,000 to $20,000,000. The resort is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the "El Yunque Rainforest base," offering a secluded beach and stunning mountain views. It's a unique paradise that promises warm hospitality and unparalleled beauty. Come and experience this fantastic place! The world-renowned Wyndham Resort is also located within the Rio Mar Resort Community, offering multiple restaurants, live music and dancing, indoor and outdoor bars, events, a casino, Margaritaville 5'Oclock beach bar, feeding of Iguanas, gift shop/convenience store, spa, gym, and more. You may also approach the hotel concierge desk to assist you in booking tours that will pick you up at the hotel, and while you are there, stop and say hello to our friends Bob and Geoff, the beautiful red and blue macaw.

Additionally, food outlets, entertainment options, a spa, a casino, a gym, a gift store, a convenience store, and tour booking services are available to all residents and guests of the private villas.
About The Beach Access
The beach in our community is secluded, exuding tranquility and exclusivity. Beach access along the hotel premises offers easy access to drinks and food at the hotel's tiki bars. It is less crowded than public access beaches, and regular maintenance ensures that it stays pristine. Accessing the beach is convenient, as it only takes a 4-minute ride or a 10-minute walk from the villa. The beach is accessible to hotel and residential guests at all points, and private beach chairs and coolers are also available at the villa for your added convenience.

About the Villa
"Villa Buenaventura" is a three-bedroom, three-bath, 2,000-square-foot, two-story villa in Cluster 4 known as "Villa Las Brisas" within the Rio Mar Resort described above. The villa's décor boasts a mid-century vibe that blends perfectly with its natural surroundings.

The ensuite primary bathroom is equipped with a tub and shower combination, a hairdryer, and a 52-inch TV, all of which are designed to provide guests with maximum comfort and convenience. My favorite detail is the battery-operated candles, which create a romantic atmosphere. The window in the room offers a breathtaking view of the golf course and allows guests to witness stunning sunrises.
The second bedroom has a comfortable king-size bed, plush pillows, soft blankets, and cozy sheets to ensure a comfortable and restful sleep.

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!

The Villa was not as clean as I had hoped and there were ants in kitchen and bathrooms. Villa was spacious. Beds were comfortable. There were not many extra towels- only 2 for the beach. The coffee pot is very small for a 3 bedroom vila- makes only @ 2 cups so if you have a large group you are making many pots. Host was responsive at first, but we sent several texts with questions without a response while on property. Also, some information was outdated and confusing. For example- one place says check out was at 10 and another said 11:00 and there was some confusion about which pools we were allowed to use. Overall, our stay was comfortable. Rio Mar is very pretty area.

Fabulous Family Vacay
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.

Great location
We had a wonderful time! The condo was clean, large enough to easily accommodate our party of 6 adults and close to many activities. The kitchen was well appointed and the ice machine was so nice to have. The only issue was not having access to the beachside pool. The listing includes it as an available amenity but at the time we were there access was limited to and hotel guests and owners only. While this was disclosed in the FAQ we received after booking, I missed it in my quick perusal of the document. It would have been nice to have this noted on the listing.Overall a wonderful place and we would not hesitate to stay there again

Nice Condo in good location
The condo was clean and enough room for 7 adults although the room with 3 twins is misleading. One bed is a trundle bed and when you pull it out there is no room to get out of the other beds so we couldn't use it. 3 full bathrooms was nice. The coffee maker didn't work and we were told to use the espresso maker instead which only makes one cup at a time and kept tripping the outlet, which was annoying.
The power in the entire area went out for 17 hours (Not the owners fault) but the backup battery packs they had to plug in the fridge and our phones were both dead. We did charge them once the electricity came back on for the next group but it would have been nice if they were charged for us.
The condo is on the golf course and not near the beach. It was approximately 7-8 blocks to the beach and about a mile to the hotel, casino, restaurants. There was no free parking at the hotel. We only found one pool that was available for us to use. The nice big pool down by the beach we were told was only for hotel guests.
There were lots of restaurants nearby to drive to and it was close to the rain forest and not too far to the malls or Old San Juan. Despite the issues we did enjoy our stay

We are so thankful for the golf cart. The pools/restaurants were a far walk and it was very hilly! The golf cart made it a fun adventure for the kids anytime we went to dinner at the resort or went to the beach. So much more fun than driving. The house was perfect. Despite being far from the hotel, we loved having a place of our own with a washer/dryer, kitchen, and multi bedrooms. The back deck was very relaxing with the hammock. We took several excursions-snorkeling, kayaking, and an el yunque tour which were all amazing. We wanted to stay an extra week!
