Margaritaville Vacation Club Rio Mar sits on 500 lush acres of the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa, tucked between the cloud-shrouded peaks of El Yunque rainforest and a mile of golden Atlantic beach in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. Choose a studio, one-bedroom, or three-bedroom tropical suite with a private balcony or patio, ocean or mountain view, and a full or mini-kitchen stocked with a Frozen Concoction Maker so the first margarita is on the house. Days drift between the Aura adult-only swim lounge, the family pools and Landsmark swim-up bar, and the beachfront 5 o’Clock Somewhere Tiki Bar with live music after sunset.

Step outside the resort and Puerto Rico opens up fast. El Yunque National Forest is about five miles south, Carabali Rainforest Park (ATVs, horseback rides, go-karts) is three miles down the road, and the food kiosks of Luquillo Beach are ten minutes away. Kayak the bioluminescent Laguna Grande at night in Fajardo, then trade days for cobblestones, because the UNESCO streets of Old San Juan and El Morro fort are about thirty miles west. Back on property, ten Wyndham Grand restaurants, including Palio for Italian and Iguanas for Latin-Caribbean, mean you never have to leave for dinner.
