Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa is set on what once must have been an elegant, old-world Spanish estate. To the north, Rio Mar is bounded by one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean; to the south, El Yunque, a 28,000-acre tropical rainforest, the only one of its kind in the US National Forest system.Rio Mar Beach Resort is unique among Puerto Rico golf resorts.

Accommodations:

Rio Mar Beach Golf Resort features 600 guest rooms, all with private balconies and views of the ocean, gardens and rainforest, the defining influence of the décor throughout the resort: muted greens, ambers and pastel shades of blue and lemon. Public areas are reminiscent of the great days of the island’s Spanish heritage – more grand hacienda than hotel.

Conventioneering:

With more than 75,000 square feet of conference facilities, meeting rooms and ball rooms, the resort is ideally suited for corporate getaways, and especially so when you consider the two championship golf courses.

For the Family:

Rio Mar is the ideal family destination. Features include a world-class spa, a tennis center with 11 of the best Har-Tru courts and two hard courts, a full service dive shop that provides PADI certification along with guided dives and excursions. For the kids – a major consideration when choosing the ideal destination - Rio Mar’s private, beachfront offers a dozen ways to entertain them. And then, of course, there's the casino: Club Bahia is small in size but offers just about everything you'd expect to find at any of the larger mainland resorts.

Two Championship Courses:

The Ocean Course is a classic Tom & George Fazio creation: wide landing areas, strategically-placed bunkers, elevated greens and four sets of tees. The River Course is typical Greg Norman. If you’re looking for a challenge along with spectacular scenery, you must play this one.
