Villa Playa Maria

I arrived home last night from an incredible week-long stay at Villa Playa Maria. The property is beautiful and is located in front of some of the best surf in Puerto Rico. The property manager Elizabeth and her staff were awesome. Villa Playa Maria is the best surf/paddle retreat I have ever been to!

My family and I were blessed to spend a few days at this glorious oceanfront villa in Rincon, PR. As someone with a background in hospitality, I am trained to notice the details. Every single detail shined. From the handwritten welcome note, to the hand bound villa guide, and the stunning local flower greeting me in my room. I immediately felt at ease. The team was warm, hospitable, and welcoming. Marilyn always had a big smile (under her mask) and a joyous story to share as she refreshed our rooms and cleaned. Gabby (the chef) cooked delicious, on point meals to feed our hungry, adventurous group. The sunsets were epic (see below). The joy, palpable. Did I mention the outdoor shower? Surf school next door, bars within walking distance, a chic AF juice shop just up the hill. I can't imagine how it could get better than this. Thank you Team Villa Playa Maria, we loved loved loved it.

Villa Playa Maria has always been one of our favorite wedding venues to photograph stunning destination weddings in Rincon, it was recently that this amazing ocean front villa was remodeled and it is simply one of the best locations for a week getaway or a wedding. You cannot deny that the villa has one of the best spots for Rincon world famous sunsets and it is simply the best backdrop for your Puerto Rico Wedding. Images by Vanessa Vargas Photography

This place is amazing! The cleaning staff is spectacular and they have everything stocked up. Anything you need they have it here already. The room had coffee, full kitchen, balcony, there is a beach right outside. There is also a restaurant within 5 min walk. I would not change a thing

Wonderful time. My wife and I had opportunity to stay there for 5 days. Amazing time that we had. I can answer any questions. The only problem we had on the main top suit was water damaging my laptop charger. Other than that we had a Amazing time.

Villa Playa Maria is a dream. Every detail is thought of, and we spent a week feeling absolutely spoiled. Elizabeth is incredible as well! I really appreciated her attentiveness and recommendations while I planned a wedding from afar. We'll be returning again next year for sure.

I had the most wonderful experience planning my retreat with Elizabeth at VPM. First, I knew that this was the place to host my yoga retreat just by the photos (and amazing word of mouth). It is so obvious that the owners take such special care of their space. By then, I was blown away at how responsive, caring, and helpful Elizabeth was in helping with my planning. She led me through each step of the way, helped plan awesome excursions, and was thoughtful and considerate about each visitors comfort and ease. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my retreat due to personal reasons, but I CANNOT wait to resume planning with them when the timing is right! Rincon is such a special place and the experience is made even sweeter when you have such amazing people helping guide your way! What a magical gem. I can't wait to go back!

Our company normally travels to all-inclusive 4-5 star resorts in the Caribbean every year. This year we thought of switching it up and going to Puerto Rico. Although we couldn't find anything all-incusive, and our group was a bit larger than normal this year so we didnt want to break the bank. I found this property on Google and it looked amazing. There was lots of skepticism about the convenience of having a house for all 16 of us for a full 8 days, but it worked for our budget. Needless to say, the property was beyond phenomenal. All the rooms had their own bathrooms and all but one room had its own entrance from the outside, so it was very private for everyone. Btw the bathrooms are super nice, the pictures doesn't do them justice. House keeping made beds everyday and tidied up. We had a chef make breakfast/brunch daily for us, and dinners every other night. Our chef, Gaby, was incredible. He should open his own restaurant! Jorge and Amy managed the property and they were super friendly. They made grocery runs for us on demand and gave our group rides to town and back. And Elizabeth above all, who handled the coordinating for us, was on top of everything to make sure our trip was flawless and stress free. So thank you all for making this trip perfect for us! Seriously, look no further. There isn't a better spot in town with better immediate beach access, bars with live music and a nightlife, and quiet nights away from light pollution for a perfect view of the stars.
