So much to do, we'll have to come back. Wanted to write in your guest book, but like other plans we just ran out of time. The condo was great. Being part of the Rio Grande resort was so peaceful, we didn't even use the golf, tennis, health spa, resort restaurants, casino, kids programs, beach rentals, tours, etc. With so much at the resort, it's funny that what made our vacation was the quiet. The Cluster II condos really have the best of both worlds; quiet beach relaxing & resort life. For our daily doses of action we explored the northeast of P.R. We did enjoy: love the beach club 6 of 7 days, three of the pools, the golf cart & paths, the view(s), iguana feeding local culture 7 of the restaurants you recommended (all excellent) the terrific rainforest (for free, the guards/guides told us all we needed to know) Culebra Island (we went on our only rainy bad weather day, aim for sunshine, but still a great adventure and it got us out of the house) 4x4 tour and swimming in the river go cart racing Old San Juan "doing nothing" at the condo Thank you very much. Everything was just as you said, or better! Not easy to keep a family of 7 all active and interested, but your corner of the world has it all.

Owner response:Thanks and I hope to see you again soon.

Rio Mar condo - It was the perfect place for us.

We visited Puerto Rico for a conference, and were looking for a place that was private yet close to amenities. This condo was exactly what we needed. The kids loved getting outside (it was below zero in Maine when we left), and playing in the pool and the ocean. The kitchen was very well stocked with great cookware, beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood was very private. The patio was great for sitting out late in the evening, and I was surprised there were no mosquitoes or other flying pests during our stay. It was only a short golf cart ride away from the Rio Mar hotel, with all of its restaurants and pools. We enjoyed this rental very much. My only suggestion would be to add a mixer to the kitchen, for making cakes, etc.

Perfect for family vacation

This condo is beautiful, immaculate and comfortable. Perfect for our family of 6, grandparents, parents and 8 and 11 year olds. It is a fabulous location, walking distance to one pool, and 5 minutes by golf cart to another pool on private strip of ocean, and 10 minutes by golf cart to hotel pool with slide and Tiki bar. Condo has everything from beach towels to condiments, but have to bring in food, toilet paper, etc. Amigo's supermarket is great, on Rte 3. Restaurants in other reviews are all great. We especially loved Ishamar, bakery as street meets Rte 3, try quesolitos and talk with Carmelo. His recommendations which were great were Don Pepe right across street and Lolita's, mexican, on way to Fajardo. This was a fabulous vacation, completely perfect in every way. I would recommend without reservation!

Thank you very much Rafael and family! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely villa. Our family of 5 was very comfortable. The location for us was excellent, as we love the beach and it was a short drive over to the beach club- the golf cart would be handy if you didn't rent a car. We used the swimming pool right up the hill from the villa - a very short walk, and also the swimming pool down by the beach. Both were very clean and well maintained. The rain forest is very close by and was worth the visit.

Family get away

We rented the villa for 10 days and it was exactly as it was described in the listing description. The location was perfect for a short ride to the beach and walk (which I did every day). It was also very helpful to have the golf cart. What really made the experience so good was how easy and responsive Rafael is. If we had a question or problem, he responded right away and that gives someone peace of mind when you are away from your comfort zone on a vacation. We would go back and recommend this for a family who needs the 3 bedrooms which we did.

This is the perfect rental for a romantic getaway or a family vacation- and not many places fit that bill! This property was incredibly spacious for a vacation rental- three full bedrooms- and a great deal of open, common space. The owner was incredible- everything was immaculate and no detail was overlooked. He even left our 18 month old toys to play with on our two week stay. In addition, this rental is very competitively priced for the size and condition- it's a great vacation deal and we can't wait to see it again! Thank you for everything.

My friends and I stayed here for my birthday/golf weekend. The villa was perfect and we had a great time there. My only regret is not being able to stay longer. Location, weather, people, food were all amazing. FYI, the golf cart is an absolutely must if you want to get to the beach or hotel. Also, unlike other villas I've researched, this one had A/C in all the rooms, even the main kitchen/family room area. And in the brutal heat of october, it was also a must! Location-wise, it's just minutes to the rain forest and only 25 minutes to the bio bay tours in Fajardo. It's also really close to these road-side kiosks for those of you who love to try authentic food! We are actually discussing plans to return for another person's birthday in a few months and, if so, would definitley rent the same villa again! Rafael was very nice, accomodating, and answered all our questions quickly. Thank you!

I stayed at this villa the first week of June with friends and family. We loved it. The villa was clean and well maintained and just as pictured. The villa has great views of the golf course and access to all the resort amenities. We enjoyed the Clusters II pool, the Beach Club pool, and the resort pool and beach. The Tiki Hut bar was great for afternoon relaxing (they have happy hour from 4-6). The golf cart is a great thing to have and a MUST if you stay here. The local restaurants are great too. We enjoyed Richie's Cafe and La Parilla the most in that area. Rafael was great to work with! We would definitely go back and stay here.

Villa Rental in Wyndham Rio Mar Resort

This vacation was to give my mother a vacation of a lifetime and to trace her roots. The Villa was and had every thing we expected and needed. It was clean, well kept and spacious. It had all the conveniences of home yet the advantage of being in a resort. We were able to eat breakfast in and lunch or dinner out. We gamble in the casino, ate at the buffet, swam in the pool & in the beach and did karaoke at the bar. We enjoyed the beautiful views, from our villa and in the resort as we drove around. My mother was able to find a man in her home town who remembered her family. This was the icing on our vacation. We were on the go at all times. We circled the Island taking in some of the most beautiful sites we have ever encountered. We plan to return next year and stay in the same Villa if possible. There is still so much to see and do that I'm sure we'll take a few trips more to Puerto Rico. I would recommend and have recommended this property to all my friends and family. I couldn't have made a better choice. I'm looking forward to next year. Lourdes
