The Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa is a four-pearl hotel, a 20-minute drive from downtown Rio Grande. The hotel’s 600 guest rooms are large and stylish, with some offering wrap-around balconies and separate living areas with sofa beds. The Rio Mar includes the diverse dining choices and activity options that most guests would expect from a big resort, yet its atmosphere remains pleasantly low-key. The hotel features direct access to a stunning stretch of beach, but attractions and dining options within walking distance are otherwise limited. Travelers who prefer a more central location might consider the Doubletree by Hilton San Juan instead.

The sprawling, remote Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico is perched along Coco Beach on the northeastern coast on the island. Although the resort is oceanfront, the beach is somewhat rocky, and some guests plan excursions to visit the nicer beaches on Culebra and Culebrita. One of the resort's strengths is its large, lagoon-style pool with swim-up bar that is a regular hot spot for guests; other facilities of note on-site include a small casino, two 18-hole golf courses, and a spa.

The ultra-luxurious St. Regis offers all of the top-notch amenities you’d expect for one of Puerto Rico’s only five-pearl hotels. Features include a high end spa, two gorgeous beachfront pools, three restaurants (including a Jean Georges creation), a slick fitness center, and an exceptional golf course. Rain forest boardwalks connect its 139 rooms which are large, timeless, and decorated with care. Think: exposed wood beams, elegant furniture, huge modern bathrooms, and furnished terraces. Chauffeured golf carts are available on demand, but the “rain forest meets beach” setting is pretty secluded -- which is great for some, but limiting for others. Rio Grande beaches aren’t considered the island’s best, but the St Regis’ stretch is wide, long, and uncrowded. Note that the resort fee here is pricey. Travelers seeking high end luxury closer to nightlife and sights could try The Ritz-Carlton, San Juan.

Tucked away in a rural pocket of Rio Grande, just above El Yunque Rainforest, the upper-middle-range Hacienda Siesta Alegre combines a horse ranch, a wedding venue, and a bed-and-breakfast, on 30 lush acres. Enchanting grounds and Spanish colonial flair add to its uniqueness. Its nine rooms are all individually decorated, spacious, and private with rustic flavor and perks like outdoor clawfoot bathtubs, hammocks, and/or wraparound terraces. Breakfast is included, and it's a hearty feast of deliciousness guests rave about. However, lunch and dinner aren’t provided, and the out-of-the-way setting means a car is essentially required. Ultimately, Hacienda Siesta Alegre is suited to couples, groups, and horse-lovers seeking a charming and calm rustic experience. Travelers seeking a bed-and-breakfast with freedom to self-cater could try the nearby Rainforest Inn.
