About the Resort

The Gorgeous Mediterranean-style private beach villa is situated in the exclusive, guard-gated community of Rio Mar Beach & Golf Resort. The resort is anchored by the Wyndham Rio Mar and is surrounded by 7 clusters of private residential villas and homes. The prices range from $500,000 to $20,000,000. The resort is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the base of the "El Yunque Rainforest," offering a secluded beach and stunning mountain views. It's a unique paradise that promises warm hospitality and unparalleled beauty. Come and experience this fantastic 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

The premises offer a wide range of amenities for guests. Guests have easy beach access, with the hotel's tiki bars providing drinks and food. Additionally, there are food outlets, entertainment options, a spa, a casino, a gym with fitness classes, a gift store, a convenience store, and tour booking services available to all residents and guests of the private villas.

About The Beach Access

The beach in our community is secluded, exuding tranquility and exclusivity. Beach access along the hotel premises offers easy access to drinks and food at the hotel's tiki bars. It is less crowded than public access beaches, and regular maintenance ensures that it stays pristine. Accessing the beach is convenient, as it only takes a 4-minute ride or a 10-minute walk from the villa. The beach is accessible to hotel and residential guests at all points, and private beach chairs and coolers are also available at the villa for your added convenience.

About Pool Access

The swimming pool at Villa Las Brisas is exclusively for its residents. Hotel pools are reserved for hotel guests and are not accessible to guests staying at private residential villas.

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 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 has everything you need for entertaining and a delightful stay: a coffee maker, espresso maker, blender, cooking tools, pots, and pans. You will find all you need to call this "your home away from home truly."

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 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 place for our family
We had a wonderful time in Puerto Rico and loved this place. It was very clean and in a great location. We loved the beach at the bottom of the hill. Big enough waves to be fun, but not dangerous. We have been to a lot of beaches and this was the best balance of fun and safety.

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!

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!

Everything was exactly as advertised and very spacious for our family of six. The nearby beach was excellent, lined with coconut trees for welcome shade when needed. The location has good access to El Yunque and bioluminescent tours but the drive to San Juan was tiring. Overall a great experience.

Puerto Rico
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!

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!

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.

Mom’s Birthday Bash
Our family of 6 spent a fabulous week at the villa to celebrate our mother’s 60th birthday. The location was perfect for the activities we had planned- hiking in El Yunque, snorkeling and kayaking in the bioluminescent bay, wandering Old San Juan and a fabulous dinner at Santaea. We also enjoyed the villa residents’ beachside pool and took advantage of the Wyndham Resort privileges including gym access. Memories to last a lifetime!

Great time
Had a great time. Tony was very helpful. Place was very nice. Took us until the end of week to realize we could exit resort right next to the villa instead of having to drive another 6mim through entire resort, so know that if you are planning a trip. Villa pool was closed the entire time but we were luckily able to use the resort pool up until our second to last day.

I was on a girls trip with my 2 daughters and best friend. We were lucky enough to be there when the host Tony could show us around. He was fantastic. Gave us recommendations and tour of the property. The property was perfectly located with views of the golf course. Rooms were good size with comfortable beds. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The patio with hammock was a favorite spot for everyone. The location was near everything but not in the hustle and bustle of San Juan which is what we wanted. Would highly recommend!

Close to beach
We could watch to the beach and a beachside pool, which was really nice. Accommodations were great. Two pools, one near the condo and another on the beach, which was great. The condo was adequately stocked, beds were comfortable. The location is inside quite a complex with multiple gates that can be confusing to navigate. But once you figure it out it’s ok. Recommend the bakery and BBQ place and the small convenience mart at the end of the road for supplies. The overall location is very convenient to access El Yunque, and several nice beaches.

What a beautiful place. Great floor plan and nice updated furniture. Plenty of room for a family. The kitchen is spacious and has all the amenities you need. We had a wonderful New Year celebration. We rented the golf cart which made it so much easier to go back and forth to the beach. Anton and Nadia were excellent hosts and communications were very easy. Thanks Anton and Nadia for sharing your home. Cannot wait to go back. The Nolans.

Family vacation for 5
We took our 3 children, ages 8, 12, and 14 to Rio Mar and returned last night. All 3 children commented, "best vacation ever, "my favorite vacation," "can't wait to go back!" We have been to many different places with them so this is the highest of compliments. Of course, my husband and I had a blast, too. Anton is a joy to work with and keeps the villa stocked so well. The location is prime- beautiful private beach, access to pools, restaurants right there or a short drive from the complex. We recommend a golf cart as that made our traveling from villa to pool to beach to restaurants so much easier. Please don't hesitate to stay at this property- you won't regret it!
