Our villa is located in an exclusive BEACHFRONT refuge of privately-owned villas inside the grounds of the Rio Mar Beach & Golf Club, a Wyndham Grand Resort (formerly the Westin Rio Mar Resort).
Our villa is about 1,400 square feet and is tastefully furnished. It features 2 bedrooms (one with king bed and the other with 2 full size beds) separate living (with sofa bed) and dinning area, two full bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, and furnished balcony with breathtaking views of the beach. Not only are we villa owners but also since we have our own rental agency, only us can also provide hotel-like services such as airport transfers, concierge, maid service, baby sitters, and private chefs, among other services which are exclusive to our guests.
The Resort has been recognized by the Connoisseur's guide of Resorts and Great Hotels as one of the world's best and the picture of the Wyndham Rio Mar Beach Resort lobby was in the cover of the 15th anniversary edition of the guide in the year 2002.

My trip to Puerto Rico got off to a great start when I saw this beautiful development right on the beach, just a two minute walk to the luxurious Westin Rio Mar Resort and Casino. The drive from the San Juan Airport took only 45 minutes in heavy afternoon traffic (and only 25 minutes off rush hour), and we discovered that you really need a car to see everything near this beautiful property.
The villa was private and quiet; noisy college students on Spring Break were no where to be found. In fact, the beach at the Ocean Villas was practically deserted, even at this peak travel time. It was a perfect place for my beary big family of seven (including one small bear.) Two large bedrooms separated by a living, dining and kitchen area, left everyone a place to sleep, although I spent most of my time perched on a piano looking out to the ocean below.
I visited El Yunke, a beautiful rain forest where we hiked and learned about the unique animals that live there, including the little Coqui frog. I didn’t see one, but I could hear them everywhere. The only problem with El Yunke was that no bears live there; that makes no sense to me!
The beach was less than 40 feet from the villa. It was well appointed with free chairs and umbrellas for beachcombers. The water was very warm, even in March. When we got tired of being on the beach, we could go to the pool and watch iquanas and other lizards sunning next to us.
This condo was quiet, beautiful and well appointed. My nine year old bear handler and his sixteen year old brother had just as much fun as the two 22 year old college students and their parents. All of us found things to do on the beach in Puerto Rico. I bet you can too.

My family of 5 (children aged 9-14) discussed at length where we wanted to spend our 1st family Spring Vacation. We ultimately chose Puerto Rico as that country seemed to have everything we were looking for: safe country, ease to get around, history, lots of things to do (beaches, pools, rainforest, local eateries, etc). We were so pleased, we have talked about going back to Puerto Rico for our next trip! Puerto Rico: There's so much to do on this island. The ocean beaches kept us near our rental for much of our stay. The ocean water was fairly warm (about 80F), much warmer than some of the northern Caribbean countries. We had thought our kids would spend most of their time at the nice pools at our rental, but they wound up spending 80+% in the ocean. I had pictured lounging at a picturesque, waveless beach (like one sees in magazine photos)...but this is NOT what we experienced. We were told the waves were a little larger than normal, and they were far from waveless....but turns out this was an absolute blessing for our family, as our children loved the waves. Clear water, super soft sand. Boogie-board haven!! Almost everyone (locals) we ran into spoke very good English, and everyone was very nice! There were enough American-based stores to feel very comfortable as well. Driving around was easy. Love, Love Puerto Rico!! Rental was great... We were upgraded at our arrival! (best available was provided). Very clean, very spacious...steps away from the beach (pictures don't lie). Xavier was very prompt in responding to questions before our trip, which is why we rented from his group. There are 2 main rental groups at the Ocean Villas. Not sure of the other, absolutely would not hesitate to rent from Xavier again, though. Suite-style of our rental worked well for our family. Concierge was not always around....plan activities ahead and you'll be fine. Not a guarantee to use Rio Mar resort pools...we were able to on some days, not on weekend...seems like a "Gentlemen's agreement" exists between Ocean villas and resort...no one would discuss details. Resort Tiki bar was expensive, but we expected that, so no issue. Recommendations: Rio Mar area beaches are wonderful! We think BETTER than Luquillo's beach! Go to old San Juan, El Yunque, and Culebra (great beach+snorkeling). Enjoy the beach! Bio-luminescent kayaking was cool..go on earlier timeslot if you have kids. Loved Tasca Ole restaurant in Fajardo! Thanks Xavier!!!

GO TO PUERTO RICO!!!

My family has been traveling to Puerto Rico for the last 6 summers with our 4 children - Now (23, 20, and 17, 12) We have been to San Juan, Dorado, Fajardo and other places, but we LOVE the Rio Grande area and especially THIS VILLA at RIO MAR. This Ocean villa is remarkable! Extremely clean, well designed plan, comfortable & spacious, and functional. The breathtaking views, impecable beach, and friendly people make this "Ocean Villa" always a special place. The swimming pools are the amazing, by far the cleanest,freshest and most taken care of outdoor pools our family has ever stayed in year after year. The grounds are beautifully designed and also highly maintained as well. We have had full access to the hotel and do enjoy the amenities of the resort along with the quietness and togetherness of staying in this Villa. We are a beach family who have been to several beaches on the East Coast, but nothing can compare to the restful and enjoying vacation we experience in Puerto Rico at Rio Mar. When we ask the kids where they want to go each summer they keep saying "The Villas" as if they have become our sumer place to be.

Having never been to this resort, we weren't sure if it was worth paying double to stay in an ocean villa vs. a golf villa. In the end, because we have three small children, we felt it would be better to be closer to the ocean. Boy, we were thrilled we made that decision. It was worth every penny extra to be so close to the beach. From our first floor balcony, we were about 20 yards from the pool and then another 20 to the beach; it was absolutely beautiful (not to mention extremely convienant). The condo was immaculate and very nicely furnished. Check in was easy (the rental agency has a desk right in the lobby). I also imagine, if we did have a problem with anything, it would have been taken care of immediately because the rental agency has an office at the resort. The pool was wonderful for families, especially those with young children. The Wyndham was just a short stroll along an ocean front path. At the hotel there are many restaurants, small casino, children's camp, pool with waterslide, adult only pool, etc. We would reccomend this resort and highly reccomend this rental agency.
