Puerto Rico's premier beach resort reveals first details on the highly-anticipated upcoming unveiling of a series of transformative upgrades, including elegant new rooms and suites, innovative dining concepts, expanded menu of offerings, and more.
LionGrove, a leading hospitality investment firm based in Puerto Rico and Miami, proudly announces the unveiling of a series of transformative upgrades in an upcoming multi-million-dollar transformation of Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Rainforest Beach & Golf Resort in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. The project, led by LionGrove alongside renowned hospitality and destination design firm Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo, is transforming and beautifully elevating the already award-winning 542,000-square-foot resort. The transformation, that will take place over the coming months will encompass the full reconstruction of all 400 guestrooms, ten distinct culinary outlets, a revamped lobby and porte cochere, new pool experiences, modern social and nightlife spaces, and innovative programming. The renovation will ensure minimal disruption to guests, with the first set of new offerings rolling out before the holidays in December 2024.
The transformation will occur across three seamlessly planned unveilings. The first phase, scheduled for December 2024, will introduce two new pools, including a zero-entry pool and an adult pool, along with new cabanas that will give the essence of a luxury retreat. Guests will also experience a newly reimagined porte cochere and lobby, enhancing the arrival experience with a new observation deck. The second phase, in January 2025, will include newly designed guest rooms and suites, and will introduce a new healthy, all-day café concept that will elevate the resort's culinary landscape. Finally, the third and final phase in Fall 2025 will debut three new signature restaurants, the resort's new Xplorers Club, the opening of a state-of-the-art racquet center, and other wellness offerings that will further elevate and solidify the resort's position as a premier destination for leisure and recreation.
Nestled at the base of El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System, the Award-Winning Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Rainforest Beach & Golf Resort offers a unique Caribbean experience, combining the allure of a protected rainforest and pristine beachfront. With panoramic views that stretch from the lush rainforest to the Atlantic's shores, the resort is dedicated to seamlessly blending tropical elegance with adventure and relaxation.
The newly reimagined guest rooms at the resort will be inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of El Yunque and the Atlantic Ocean. The rooms feature a soothing palette of neutrals with accents of tropical green and ocean blue, complemented by light wood finishes and modern furnishings. Guests will be able to enjoy amenities such as in-room coffee stations and a modern entertainment center. The spa-like bathrooms come with rainfall shower heads, marble vanities, and gold-accented fixtures, providing a luxurious and harmonious experience with the natural surroundings.
The resort's transformation will also introduce new and exciting culinary concepts to its already impressive array of dining options. These additions will include a new signature restaurant featuring modern Spanish cuisine, an omakase concept, and a sophisticated cabaret-style lounge adjacent to the resort's casino that will significantly enhance the resort's nightlife offerings. These new options will contribute to a diverse and dynamic dining scene that caters to every palate and occasion.
The resort is dedicated to providing an exceptional guest experience, and this is evident in the newly curated amenities and programs. Three of the resort's four unique swimming areas will be redesigned, featuring a new adults-only pool with curated relaxation amenities and an immersive pool experience crafted specifically for children and families. This vibrant space faces the stunning Atlantic Ocean and offers a variety of engaging water slide elements and activities, providing endless fun for guests of all ages.
A key highlight of the resort's transformation is the introduction of the Xplorers Club - an innovative activity program inspired by the natural wonders of El Yunque National Rainforest. This one-of-a-kind program, led by newly appointed Environmental Scientist Ashley Perez, offers immersive educational experiences for guests of all ages. Participants can engage in activities ranging from kayaking on the Mameyes River to exploring the region's diverse ecosystems and stargazing. The program also includes citizen science initiatives, interactive exhibits, and art activities that foster a deep connection to Puerto Rico's environment and promote environmental stewardship.
