Where are the villas located? How far from San Juan?

The Villas are located inside the premises of the Westin Rio Mar Beach Resort. There are villas in two different locations, beachfront (the "Ocean Villas") and around the resort’s golf courses (the "Golf Villas").

The Westin Rio Mar Beach Resort is in the east side of Puerto Rico, in the town of Rio Grande. The Resort is 18 miles from the San Juan Airport, approximately 30-45 minutes car drive, depending on traffic.

How will I know the condition of the villa that I’m renting and whether I will like its furniture and decoration?

We only rent the most luxurious and the newest villas available at the Westin Rio Mar Beach Resort. We are constantly turning down villas that are offer to us for rent because they do not meet our very strict quality standards. Also, we personally and frequently inspect all of our villas to confirm that they are given the best maintenance, and that their furniture and equipment are all in mint condition and in excellent working order. In addition, we always provide pictures of all the villas we have available for rent, so you know exactly what you are renting and the furniture the villa has.

Major distinction on the villas is as follows:

The Ocean Villas are all identically furnished; the same developers and interior decorators of the Westin Resort constructed these and fully furnished and equipped them.

The Golf Villas are larger in size and have been individually decorated and equipped.
