As the only resort in southeast Puerto Rico, the Wyndham Palmas is situated between the rich history of San Juan and the natural wonder of El Yunque National Forest, a sacred part of local culture and the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. The resort is surrounded by lush tropical gardens, beautifully manicured golf courses and unspoiled beaches, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a serene and rejuvenating vacation.
The hotel recently underwent a multimillion-dollar transformation, refreshing the guest rooms, lobby, common spaces and dining outlets. All rooms and suites are elegantly decorated and feature modern amenities, such as flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi and plush bedding. Guests can choose from a range of accommodations, including guest rooms, suites and villas, with some offering private plunge pools.

Travelers seeking an unforgettable experience in Puerto Rico need look no further than the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar and Wyndham Palmas Beach & Golf Resorts. Both properties, owned by hospitality company LionGrove, offer prime locations surrounded by natural beauty, luxury accommodations, diverse amenities and exceptional guest service. We spoke with LionGrove Founder & CEO Andro Nodarse-León to get an inside perspective on what makes these resorts stand out from the rest.
Nodarse-León explained that running a large resort is a complex and multifaceted operation that involves many different departments and personnel working together. Departments like the front desk, food and beverage, housekeeping, security and marketing all have to work together harmoniously to ensure that everything runs smoothly, with clear communication and a focus on providing exceptional guest service.

If you’ve ever traveled along Puerto Rico’s southeast coast, chances are you were just passing through. There’s never been as many places to stay along this stretch of the island as there are along the north coast around San Juan and elsewhere on the island.
But when the Wyndham Palmas Beach and Golf Resort unveils the results of a multi-million dollar renovation in late May, there will be plenty of reason to settle in here and stay a while.
The oceanfront boutique resort, located close to El Yunque National Park and within Palmas del Mar, is one of Puerto Rico’s most exclusive private communities and has completely overhauled its lobby, guestrooms, restaurants, and common spaces after being acquired by a leading hospitality investment firm, LionGrove.
If you're looking for a small boutique hotel that offers a healthy and laid-back vacation, look no further than the Wyndham Palmas Beach and Golf Resort.
