Best Spot in Puerto Rico at Rio Mar Beach & Golf Resort 20 min. to San Juan

About the Resort

This Gorgeous Mediterranean-style private beach villa is located within the exclusive, guard-gated community of Rio Mar Beach & Golf Resort anchored by the Wyndham Rio Mar and surrounded by 7 clusters of private residential villas and homes ranging from $20,000,000 to $500,000. The resort is tucked away and nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the base of "El Yunque Rainforest." Not only does it boast a secluded beach, but it also offers breathtaking views of the stunning mountains. It's truly a unique paradise that you won't find anywhere else. Come and experience the warm hospitality and beauty of this amazing 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

A vast array of amenities are available to both hotel guests and private villa guests throughout the premises. It's noteworthy that the hotel pools are designated exclusively for hotel guests; however, the private villa residents and guests have the privilege of accessing their private Resident's Beach Club. This Beach Club offers a breathtaking pool overlooking the rainforest and direct access to the beach. In addition, the food establishments, entertainment, spa, casino, gym and fitness classes, gift store, convenience store, and tour booking services are open to all residents and guests of the private villas.

About The Beach and Pools

The beach within the community is secluded, exuding tranquility and exclusivity as it is less populated than "public access" beaches, and the regular upkeep ensures its pristine condition. Accessing the beach is convenient, as it only takes a 4-minute ride or a 10-minute walk from the villa to reach it.

Two swimming pools are available for the residents' use. The beachside pool stands out as the premier option, located next to the beach, providing amenities such as lounge chairs, bathrooms, showers, and a beach bar that operates on weekends. Additionally, private beach chairs and coolers are available at the villa, providing further convenience. The second pool, located within Villa Las Brisas and only a minute's walk away, also features a playground. As mentioned above, the Hotel Pool is exclusively reserved for Guests staying at the Hotel.

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 located 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 is fully equipped with everything you need for entertaining and a delightful stay: a Coffee Maker, Espresso Maker, Blender, cooking tools, pots and pans, and all you would need to truly call this "your home away from home. "

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, complete 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.

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.

Beautiful place
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. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could think of which was nice to not have to run to town to buy extra supplies. The beds were comfy and we would absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend this place!
