Nestled on the northeast coast of Puerto
Rico, the Wyndham Rio Mar Beach Resort awaits those
who are looking to get away from it all. Recently purchased
from the Westin group and now a Wyndham Resort, the Rio
Mar Beach Resort has undergone recent multi-million dollar
improvements aimed at making it more impressive than ever.
Among the renovations, the Mandara Spa was added, all
guest rooms received contemporary Caribbean
facelifts, new restaurants and exciting menus were created
and the pools and beachfront received added improvements.
Whether by yourself, with that special someone, traveling
with friends or bringing the family in tote, a Wyndham
Resort vacation is sure to have something for everyone.
Say goodbye to boredom at the Wyndham Resort. If it’s activities that you are looking for on your next vacation, how about starting with the 13 tennis courts and two golf courses. All of the tennis courts are Har-Tru courts and are staffed with professionals from Peter Burwash International. You can enjoy a variety of tennis lessons options and tennis packages. If hitting a golf ball is more your thing, then get in swing on one of the two Rio Mar Beach Resort golf courses. A 35,000 square foot clubhouse serves both the Ocean Course and the River Course, and has all the amenities and services you would expect to find at the best golf resorts. On the Wyndham Resort Ocean Course, you can take in the beautiful ocean and mountain views while enjoying a course designed by Tom and George Fazio. The River Course was the first Caribbean course that Greg Norman designed, and when it was built, great care was taken to preserve the native landscape and foliage along the Mameyes River.
If thoughts of lingering on Caribbean
beaches is more your idea of a Wyndham Resort vacation,
then you can take advantage of the mile-long stretch of
soft, golden sand that runs in front of the resort. Between
the palm trees, the mountains in the background and the
blue sky and waters, it’s hard to not think of relaxing
with a cool cocktail in hand. During your Wyndham Resort
vacation, you can engage in a number of complimentary
social beach activities, or you can head to the water
sports rentals hut where you can rent kayaks, sailboats,
waterbikes and wave runners. You can also try snorkeling
or scuba diving to
marvel at the coral reefs found just offshore. The Rio
Mar Beach Resort has qualified instructors to help you
get certified for some of the best Caribbean scuba diving.
If sitting poolside should interest you, the resort has
two large ones surrounded by 20,000 square feet of pool
deck and patio. Other activities include bike rentals,
charter boats and a game room. After a day at the beach,
try your luck at the resort’s casino. If you happen
to walk away with some extra dough, you can always exchange
it for some goods at the golf or tennis pro shops, at
the W.H. Smith store or at Jorge Bared Jewelers. If day
trips and tours are your thing, the Rio Mar Beach Resort
offers six different tours, including a shopping excursion
to Old San Juan, a rainforest
tour and a visit to the Bacardi Rum Distillery. There
are also clubs and activities aimed at both children and
teens, so that maybe the adults can escape for a while,
perhaps to the new Balinese-inspired Mandara Spa, or beachside
for a piña colada.
On your Wyndham Resort vacation, your accommodations
can be found in one of the 600 guest rooms, or in one
of the 72 suites, 66 of which are ocean suites. Each lodging
option features a fresh design, furnished balconies, high
speed internet access, telephones, a color television
with movie options, ironing accessories, a mini-bar and
luxurious bathrooms. As far as the services go, the Wyndham
Resort prides itself in its staff and offers on-site car
rentals, a resort shuttle, room service 24 hours a
day, a valet, laundry and concierge services. If you are
looking for a Caribbean vacation
package, Wyndham Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa offers
four of them to cater to most needs. There’s just
so much you could list about this amazing Caribbean resort,
but it is best discovered in-person. Getting here is quick
from the east coast, and at just 19 miles from the San
Juan International Airport, you are assured a speedy arrival
once you leave the airport. You can either rent a car,
arrange for town car or limousine services, or take the
airport shuttle. The shuttle runs a scheduled route and
for one way adults pay $30, while it’s $17.50 for
kids. However you arrive, a beautiful tropical setting
and an average temperature of 82 degrees awaits you on
your Wyndham Resort vacation. Enjoy!
