Lovely villa, spacious and welcoming. Perfect living and dinning area ideal for the entire family. Rooms were great with comfortable beds. The views of the golf course from the balcony and most rooms were amazing. We had everything we needed, including beach chairs, beach towels, games and a grill! The villa was a 2 minute walk to the cluster pool which is fabulous. The walk to the beach was 10 minutes. We had excellent communications with our host Rafael, who was prompt in responding to our questions. Thanks Rafael and we will be back!

Nice Stay

The property was located in a nice safe area, pool was nearby. Nice view of the golf course. The beach directly nearby the property was empty but was not in the cleanest condition & the waves were high so I suggest Luquillo Beach instead.

Great place to stay for a wedding

I attended my youngest son and daughter in law's wedding and this Vrbo was perfect. The host communicated well, the location was wonderful and the property was up to date and easy to stay in. The views are very pleasant and it was a perfect stay for my oldest son and wife, my two grandsons and myself. Thanks Rafael.

Wonderful Villa..

We had a wonderful time, the condo was fantastic. It was amazingly appointed and the toys were a huge hit with my two year old. There was plenty of space for two sets of grandparents and my wife, my son and myself. It allowed everyone to enjoy each other without feeling on top of one another. Would be sure to recommend it to any of my friends or family that would be planning a family trip to Puerto Rico.

Beautiful location

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. It was as it was described and in a beautiful spot. the host was responsive when I had questions. I only wished it had been communicated that I needed to place my brother, nephew and mom on the initial list as they were staying in a home on the property in a separate gated area and they were not allowed to park in our area so we could have dinner together. The instructions specified to list anyone staying and I understood that to mean sleeping at the location not to having 3 additional people for dinner. However, the property was very nice and I would most definitely stay there again.

Perfect Villa for Vacation

Our family enjoyed 5 nights in this villa. The villa was well appointed with many amenities. The owner clearly considered the needs of vacationers and families . The villa was clean, beautiful, and in a great location. We were close to Luquillo beach and many restaurants and shops (within close driving distance). The proximity to the pool and beach were convenient. The view from the balcony was beautiful and the morning sunrise made it even better. Our host was responsive and easy to work with. This was our first time in this area of PR and we will definitely visit again. Thank you for a great stay!

great family place!

We took our kids and grandkids, 4 adults in total, and children 1 and 3 years old. The villa had everything including some toys and other goodies for the kids, a full kitchen and washer/dryer. Owner very easy to contact and very accommodating. I liked the golf course view from the patio. The Wyndham hotel has a terrific restaurant for families, Marbella. The pool area includes a hot tub, kiddie pool, and playground. It costs to park at the hotel but there is a beach and pool area with free parking on the way to the hotel.

Great and quiet week

Had a great week in Rio Grande! The villa itself is excellent and just as the pictures showed it. We had a little trouble finding it within the Wyndham property at first as you have to drive all the way around and there aren't signs. Beach and resort restaurants are great. Highly recommend early drives up to El Yunque and nearby Luquillo beaches! Our only frustration is that you really can't walk to the beach if you're going to bring anything (chairs, kids, bags, etc.) - it's a decent way around the golf course and down to the beach. Suggestion for the future - have a welcome binder with details about beach parking, restaurant suggestions, etc.

5-Night Stay With Friends

The unit was largely as represented in the listing...nicely furnished and laid out for multiple couples or a family. As others have noted, it is a bit difficult to find/get to and is restricted in the use of other Wyndham amenities. The overall complex is quite large, so the unit is a 30-minute walk or a drive to the beach and the main facilities. The nearby pool was lovely, and the unit was conveniently located to the rain forest. Good spot for golfers, tennis center was marginal. Unfortunately, there was no guest book giving suggestions for places to eat or visit...this would have been helpful!

Perfect property, perfect location

We loved our stay at Villa Carpe Diem. Our group comprised two families with four adults and four school aged kids. We had plenty of space and the layout of the condo was perfect. The resort amenities could not be better, we loved the easy access to the beach which was clean and has chairs available and the pool next to the beach was great as was the pool near the condo. The condo was well stocked with beach chairs, a cooler, beach towels, etc. Rafael was super helpful and communicative- he even sent a heads up warning with an alert for big waves one day. Overall, I highly recommend this condo!

Beautiful Wyndham Rio Mar Stay

The stay at cluster 2 villas within the Wyndham Rio Mar golf and beach resort was fantastic. The property is well taken care of and full of beautiful scenery. Rafael’s villa is perfect for a family with plenty of room to spread out. It’s nice that the villa has a washer/dryer. You are able to eat at the restaurants within the Wyndham which has a delightful selection. My wife and I enjoyed the restaurant above the club house called Iguanas. Our family enjoyed the pool located in cluster 2 villas area, though the other pools are off limits for guests of the villas. Overall we absolutely enjoyed our stay in Puerto Rico and would specifically return to this resort in the future.

Family Getaway

The villa was perfect for our family of five adults. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you might need to prepare meals. The living space was comfortable and well furnished. of travel. Maybe a map of the grounds would be helpful. The pool was very nice and just a short walk from the villa. The owners provided beach chairs and towels for guests which was quite convenient. The covered balcony was so nice for sitting and having your morning coffee. We felt there could've been directions provided on how to find Cluster 2. That was frustrating especially after a long day of travel. Maybe a map of the grounds would also be handy. The place was great for our family get-away. The resort is lovely.

Secluded and comfortable island retreat

Once you find the unit, tucked away in a quiet and peaceful portion of the resort, you’ll be greeted by a spacious and private setting. The balcony and windows offer ample golf course views with mountains in the background. The bedrooms don’t have closets and offer limited hanging space so pack accordingly. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking full meals, and the living area is comfortable and welcoming. A golf cart is a must for traveling around the resort, particularly to access the beach and bars in Rio Mar. The new pool in Cluster 2 is spectacular, with plenty of seating and shade. The location allows for easy access to San Juan, local fishing villages, other resort towns, day trips, and tours. The owner was responsive and attentive. We would definitely stay here again!
