Wonderful Family Time

The house was great and Vanessa was so helpful! I had 3 teenagers and a tween in our party and they all had a great time at this home. It was comfortable for everyone and the boys loved the pool table and having the pool close by in the evenings. The property and location were all awesome!

Great stay near rainforest

We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The beach and pools were beautiful. Beach shallow enough for the kids- ages 6/7. We had plenty of space. The beach chairs and coolers was a nice touch. Would recommend and stay again.

Beautiful property, excellent hosts!

We had a wonderful stay. Vanessa was super helpful and fun to talk with. The view was gorgeous and the pool was clean and right next to the apartment. The apartment slept the 10 of us comfortably. The mattresses are surprisingly comfortable and high quality. We loved the pool table too! We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A perfect island oasis

The property is beautifully designed and modern. From the moment you walk in the door the manager explains everything from check in to check out. Vanessa was extremely hospitable and helpful. The island had a full black out and she helped as much as she possibly could for the14 hours we were all without power..i would only recommend if renting vehicles to get around the island , to not get a huge vehicle because the property is on a narrow hill and small parking areas. Otherwise it's a 10/10 in every way!

Family Vacay

The unit and resort were really great. Vanessa was so very responsive to our every need-- to supplying games for expected rainy days, to helping us try to work out glitches in AC, and even bringing over glasses. Unfortunately, the hot water situation wasn't cleared up in one of the bathrooms and it seems from previous reviews this is a long standing problem.

Great vacation Villa for Large Family

Cima was a very welcoming and responsive villa owner. He met us at checkin and gave us very useful information about the surrounding areas and what places to visit from the perspective of a local. His place was clean and very spacious. Our family of 12 had plenty of room to spread out. It was very helpful to have 4 full bathroom for getting ready in the mornings or taking showers at night. The pool table was very entertaining for evenings after a long day at the beach or rain forest. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would rent this villa again if we are back in Puerto Rico.

Would rent this again

Our party of seven enjoyed our stay at Villa Placida. The hosts were extremely accommodating - communication prior to arrival, during check-in, and throughout our stay was great. The villa was very comfortable and having four full bathrooms was especially nice after a day at the beach. The beach and pool were wonderful - not crowded at all (mid-March). We often walked down to the beach but when we drove parking was no problem. It was nice having access to the resort and it’s amenities, restaurants, etc., but we especially enjoyed the local restaurants and bakeries outside of the gated community. The kitchen could use some additional dishes (more coffee cups), but overall the villa was great. We cooked dinner several nights and enjoyed eating on the terrace.

Spacious Villa

The villa was very spacious for our group of 10. It was cleaned and in great condition with renovated kitchen and bathrooms. Having a pool table provided great entertainment, and the accessible beach being only a 2 minute drive down the hill was great. The pool is right accross the parking from the front door, and we enjoyed having our morning coffee out on the balcony listening to the birds everyday. There are plenty of restaurants close by (you'll need a car), and the bakery and icecream shop in the main road leading to the resort were a hit. We ate at Nativa at the Kioskos, and the food was delicious with great service. We really enjoyed staying at this villa despite not having an ocean view. The golf and mountain views were pretty and relaxing. Vanessa was very attentive and easy to reach. Thanks for sharing your villa with us!

very nice place to stay.

It was a beautiful place. The host was amazing very responsive and helpful. They gave us a lot of very helpful information like great places to dine, and visit. The place also came equipt with everything that you would need, like beach chairs, and coolers, to floating toys, and washer and dryer. There was construction going on at the property which was a little inconvenient because we were asked to park really far from the property for one of the days, and the pool was dirt because of the work from the roof, and the front of our door was muddy because of the work, but the host did contact the property and we were moved to a closer parking spot.They also had other pools a little further away from our place but just as beautiful for us to enjoy. besides that very little hiccup, my family very much enjoyed our selves. The host were really great and we would def stay again. Thank you for being super great to my family and I and hope to do it again real soon.

Paradise

Beautiful place, beautiful resort, amazing host. Our plane was late, like really late. We were scheduled to get in at 5 in the afternoon, but we ended up arriving around 11:30 when nothing was open. Vanessa not only stayed to greet us, she bought us groceries and made sure our first day was wonderful, not busy immediately running errands. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks so much for a beautiful stay. The area is 5 minutes from the rain forest, a quick walk from gorgeous beaches, and a short drive from beautiful San Juan. It was awesome.

Roomy Villa

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful 3-bedroom, 4-bath villa in Las Brisas. The villas are on the gorgeous Wyndham resort's property. You will need a car to enjoy the area. There is a very nice pool just steps from the villa, but everything else must be accessed by car. Our hosts, Patricia and Cima were fantastic at communicating and they answered any questions we had about the stay and area. Our flight was delayed for several hours in Miami which put us arriving late at the villa. Cima was gracious and met us at the villa for a thorough check-in. Our family of 6 adults had plenty of room, hot water, and private space. The balconies faced east to view the morning sun and manicured golf course. The listing is exactly as pictured and described. We enjoyed the central location that enabled us to visit Old San Juan, the rainforest, Liquilla Beach, Fajardo, snorkeling and kayaking a bio-luminescent bay. On our last day, we spent some time in the largest mall in the Carribean which is located in San Jaun and enjoyed the local culture.

Relaxation

The property was excellent as described. Vanessa was super responsive to our questions and helpful when a member of our party needed medical care. Although the villa does not have its own generator, there were ample lanterns throughout. The Wyndham Rio Grande complex was beautiful and the area was peaceful. The beach was conveniently located and was a favorite for our group of travelers.

Puerto Rican Girl’s Trip

We (myself and 4 other friends) were blown away with the location and accommodations of this Rio Mar VRBO. Booking our dates was a breeze and the communication with the property managers was timely and informative. We were given all of the information needed to easily find and access the location. We were met at our arrival and given a tour, imperative information as well as local recommendations for dining and entertainment. The Villa was modern and beautifully decorated with a kitchen and living room on the main floor. All 3 bedrooms are located downstairs and allowed for privacy. Having 4 full bathrooms for 5 girls was amazing!! Access to the restaurants at the Wyndham Resort allowed for some delicious dining. We also very much enjoyed the community pool just steps away and the lounge chairs at the community beach. Rio Mar is the perfect location, minutes from El Yunque and Luquillo, as well as an easy drive to San Juan or Fajardo. We highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful action in Puerto Rico!

Great place for our large group

We had a large group of 21 family members of all ages split across this Villa and a secondary property from the same owners and they were both clean and fully stocked with plenty of room and bathrooms to be comfortable. The pool was right outside our door and got plenty of use. Everyone was friendly in the area and the booking process was easy. Vanessa greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the property. She is very friendly and was extremely helpful working with us to plan excursions ahead of our trip so that all our time was organized and we could see a lot of the island. We would definitely come back to stay again.
