Picolo recommends · Hotel in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico
Wyndham Grand Rio Mar
A big beach resort with the rainforest rising behind it, built for families and golfers who want the whole holiday in one place.
Look up from the sand and the green wall of El Yunque fills the sky behind the hotel. Rio Mar is a resort that keeps you busy, with golf, a casino and several bars along the beach.
Guests also get free entry to a water park, which tends to settle any debate with children about what to do next. The rooms are generous in size, and a good share of them look out to sea.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Wyndham Grand Rio Mar
We like it as the better-value choice on this coast. You get beach, rainforest and plenty of activities without paying luxury prices, which makes it a sensible pick for families and golfers.
This is a large, busy resort rather than a quiet retreat. Couples looking for calm and polish will feel more at home at the Four Seasons further along the coast.
