What To Do
While there are endless things to do, the beach is one of the main attractions here. With two miles of undisturbed beach, it is easy to find a secluded place to lay out a towel and enjoy peace while listening to waves. You can also enjoy the lagoon-like pools in a pool chair or by renting a cabana.
If you need a break from the sun, head to the Mandara Spa, which also has a fitness center, steam rooms, and even oceanfront meditation areas.
There is also incredible golf at the resort, with two 18-hole golf courses to choose from. If golf isn’t your thing, don’t worry, there are also tennis courts and beach volleyball.
In the evening, there is no need to leave the resort, as there are 9 restaurants, many of which have a nice bar or lounge vibe in the evening.
What To Eat & Drink
Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Puerto Rico Golf & Beach Resort has an impressive nine restaurants to choose from. For breakfast, you can head to Marbella, where they have a daily breakfast buffet featuring classic American breakfast staples with a Caribbean influence.
For lunch, try Roots Coastal Kitchen for elevated bistro fare. Or eat beachside at Tiki Hut.
For dinner, you can have a formal meal at Palio, an Italian restaurant that also features steaks and seafood with an island twist. For something more local, head to Iguanas Cocina Puertorriqueña, where you can have dinner overlooking a golf course. The menu serves authentic Puerto Rican meals, including elevated takes on arroz con pollo and mofongo.
For beverages and light bites, you can enjoy a chill yet chic environment at Caicu Bar & Tapas. If you need a poolside burger and tropical cocktail fix, head to 5 O’Clock Somewhere.
Room Guide
This resort has 400 rooms, all featuring a balcony with a view of some kind. While not all rooms have ocean views, something is stunning in every direction, whether it’s El Yunque National Forest in the background or the well-manicured resort grounds. The rooms are separated into three categories – the discovery, rainforest, and marbella collections.
Rainforest Collection: The rainforest collection includes both guest rooms and lower-priced suite rooms. These rooms come in two queens, one king, or suite layouts. They all have a resort or rainforest view.
Discovery Collection: The next level up is the Discovery Collection. This collection also offers two queens, one king, and suite options. The main difference here is the rooms are a bit more spacious (including the suites), and the rooms have either a pool or ocean view.
Marbella Collection: This is the premier collection. These rooms feature the best panoramic views of the ocean and resort. They also have larger bathrooms, balconies, and the best suites on the property.
Special Experiences
On Friday and Saturday evenings, you can enjoy s’mores by the firepit, and on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday you can sweat them off at a yoga class. There is also a popular iguana feeding each morning at 11, where you feed these large lizards breakfast and learn more about them.
Puerto Rico is famous for its rum, and you can sign up to do a guided rum tasting at Caicu, one of the restaurants on the property.
If you ever feel inclined to leave the resort, they have a partnership with Group Services, Inc., which can take you on snorkeling, rainforest, or other adventure tours throughout the island.
