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 prices range from $500,000 to $20,000,000. The resort is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the base of the "El Yunque Rainforest," 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, fitness classes in the morning, 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.

About Amenities

The premises offer a wide range of amenities for guests. Guests have easy beach access, with the hotel's tiki bars providing drinks and food. Additionally, there are food outlets, entertainment options, a spa, a casino, a gym with fitness classes, a gift store, a convenience store, and tour booking services 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 Pool Access

The swimming pool at Villa Las Brisas is exclusively for its residents. Hotel pools are reserved for hotel guests and are not accessible to guests staying at private residential villas.

About Security

To access the villa, you will enter through the Main Guard Gate for Rio Mar and a secondary gate for "Villa Las Brisas. " Abundant Security is another unique feature of this community.

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 kitchen has everything you need for entertaining and a delightful stay: a coffee maker, espresso maker, blender, cooking tools, pots, and pans. You will find all you need to call this "your home away from home truly."

The living room has a 65" smart TV, and a blue-tooth surround system that allows you to play your favorite music. All-natural acacia and teak wood furnishings offer a warm and inviting island feel. A comfortable sectional can double as an extra bed for a guest, a relaxing lounge chair recliner ideal for reading, watching TV, or an afternoon nap.

The dining room comfortably seats 8, the adjacent island seats 5, and the outdoor patio seats 4.

The primary bedroom is furnished with a luxurious king-size adjustable memory foam bed and features plush pillows, soft and cozy blankets and sheets. 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 that 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. In addition, a 42" television featuring a DVD player is available for entertainment purposes. This bedroom shares the downstairs bathroom with the third bedroom, or guests are welcome to use the upstairs bathroom. A hairdryer is at the disposal of guests for added convenience.

The third bedroom features a twin bed trio with plush pillows, soft blankets, and quality sheets. Furthermore, the room has a Roku television with gaming console hookups. Guests have the choice of utilizing the downstairs or upstairs bathroom facilities.

The Bathrooms - The home has three bathrooms: one full bathroom upstairs with a shower and tub, one downstairs with a shower, and the primary bathroom ensuite in the primary bedroom with a tub and shower.

Nearby Attractions

Just outside Rio Mar, you'll find some of the locals' and tourists' favorite eateries and restaurants, such as Don Pepe, Dos Pansas, and the Kiosks de Luquillo, all within a 7-minute drive. These establishments offer everything from casual to fine dining and dancing overlooking the ocean.

The renowned rainforest of El Yunque is situated just across from our resort. At the same time, the bustling metropolitan area of San Juan, the airport, Isla Verde, and Old San Juan are only a 20-25-minute drive away.

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

Great place for our family
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.

Great Family Time!
Our family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful villa. The home was as advertised and immaculately clean. There was plenty of room for my children to work in the mornings at the dining room table, and we all enjoyed the lovely porch. The location was great for our trip to El Yunque and Old San Juan as well as convenient to the lovely pool and beach. The security of the properties is a bit confusing initially but the owner was responsive and helpful. We appreciated our stay and would definitely come back to this lovely property!

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!

Very comfortable!
Our family really enjoyed this condo, the lanai was perfect to watch the sunrise or just relax. The beds were very comfortable, the living area was comfortable and functional. The only negatives, really, inconveniences were: no beach towels, only 2 dish towels, no pot holders and only one gate remote for cluster 4 and no gate remotes for Rio Mar. Despite that, we'll probably be back!

This was our 3rd time staying in Puerto Rico and we couldn't have been happier. Tony (the host) was the best. Whenever we had a question he was right there to answer. The property is gorgeous well maintained everything labeled and so thoughtfully laid out that makes staying a very pleasant experience. My 2 teenage daughters loved their rooms and the master was outstanding for me and my wife. Overall a 5 out of 5 would recommend to anyone. Also the little things like an ice machine was nice. Thanks again Tony for letting us enjoy your wonderful 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.

I was on a girls trip with my 2 daughters and best friend. We were lucky enough to be there when the host Tony could show us around. He was fantastic. Gave us recommendations and tour of the property. The property was perfectly located with views of the golf course. Rooms were good size with comfortable beds. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The patio with hammock was a favorite spot for everyone. The location was near everything but not in the hustle and bustle of San Juan which is what we wanted. Would highly recommend!

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!
