Margaritaville Vacation Club - Rio Mar

Joel and leeway at the beach of the rio mar were helpful and courteous. The carne asada was tasty. Carlos in the marabella for breakfast buffet was outstanding.

The resort was really clean as expected. There are not many resorts in PR so prices are typically high when I compare them to other Spanish speaking countries I've visited. As a reference I normally stay at the Autograph brand by Marriott during my travels. I was excited to see a trusted brand for a great price and booked my stay. The staff was great. The swim-up pool was nice however I would recommend adding more upbeat music from genres like plena, salsa, reggaeton, and afro-beats to the playlist. Marisol at the front desk, Eduardo, and Ms. Williams at the Roost Costal Kitchen were all exceptional. The rooms were clean, nice in size and our view was lovely. Pools close at 10pm so that's a plus! Since the pandemic, a lot of resorts still close their pools around 7/8pm.

Fantastic resort. The resort has great restaurants, music at nights, great beach, and relaxing pool. We enjoyed the music at the pool as we relaxed. We hope to return.

Our experience started out great with assistance from Alexandria and a large shout out to Juan the Bellman. Juan found what we needed right away and answered all our questions. Juan was able to provide details on our questions that was very helpful.

We’re just finishing up a great week at Margaritaville Rio Mar. This is a beautiful property with lovely landscaping, three nice pools and a beautiful beach. We really enjoyed playing in the waves when it was calm enough. Our timeshare suite was roomy but in need of updating. I was told they are renovating the hotel rooms and will be renovating the timeshare suites soon. The staff were generally friendly and the service was mostly fine. We did have a bit of trouble at Roots Coastal Kitchen. The room was cold and noisy, so we weren’t very comfortable. After 15 minutes of sitting at our table with no acknowledgment we left and went back to Five O’Clock Somewhere bar and grill. We really liked this spot and had several dinners there. Drinks and food were delicious and service was pretty good. We did the timeshare presentation and got $125 room credit, which paid for our parking. It was a typical timeshare presentation, went on longer than the promised 90 minutes, but wasn’t too pushy and they accepted our no pretty easily. A couple of hours wasted but worth it for the room credit. We had some issues with our air conditioning but it was fixed after a couple of visits by maintenance. Special shout out to Bianca, who we met on our first evening at the resort. She is a biologist who does nature walks but also helps out at the pools. We enjoyed chatting with her! Overall it was a very good week.

And still our number one place to go. Love all the staff, like family. Especially our guys Christian and Anthony at 5 O’clock. They are the best. They are always there for us. And the classic margaritas extra salt are amazing just ask Christian or Anthony to make them.
