Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a breathtaking ocean view but lacks in safety measures. Unfortunately, my room was a complete disappointment - it was dirty, dusty, and had an old, unpleasant smell lingering throughout. On a positive note, the service was friendly and helpful, once I managed to get the attention of the staff. The location is great, right on the beach, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. Despite its flaws, the dining experience was surprisingly incredible. The hotel facilities were adequate, but in need of an update.
My four-night stay at Wyndham Rio Mar during spring break in the Junior Rainforest Suite was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms are worth upgrading for, but my view was of the kids' playground and maintenance areas, not exactly what I expected upon check-in. However, the friendly staff and accommodating service made up for the initial disappointment. The location is great for outdoor activities but lacking in restaurant options, and the dining experience had its ups and downs. Despite these aspects, the overall experience was enjoyable and memorable.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The beautiful rooms on the same level as the lobby were a delight to stay in, but they had a musty smell that left much to be desired. The service, while friendly, lacked some attention to detail and was not as informative as I would have liked. The location contributed to a wonderful vacation experience despite the lack of nearby taxis or Ubers. The dining experience was the standout, providing an incredible array of delicious options despite the pricing. The facilities overall were satisfactory.
