Hotel Tracker: A Puerto Rico Golf Resort for $271 Per Night

By: - February 22nd, 2026
It’s always been one of the best golf resorts in Puerto Rico. Now, the Wyndham Palmas resort has a bigger ambition: to be one of the island’s best resorts, period. The new-look Wyndham Palmas will be reopening its doors this May following a “dramatic” transformation, Caribbean Journal has learned. The Wyndham Palmas Beach and Golf Resort is set to complete its renovation and reopen on May 18, 2023. The multimillion-dollar renovation comes after the resort was acquired by LionGrove last year, and covers everything from the rooms to a significant new culinary concept. (LionGrove also owns the El San Juan resort property in Isla Verde.) So what’s changed? All of the hotel’s 107 rooms and suites got a new look, with new amenities and a “boho chic” aesthetic. The resort also transformed its lobby into a “modern and trendy” space, according to the company, with sweeping ceilings and larger windows. Other additions include new landscaping, a cigar lounge and upgraded event space. The hotel will also be debuting a new eatery called Trova Coastal Kitchen, the brainchild of Top Chef competitors and celebrity chefs Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth, in a concept helmed by Chef Julio Cartagena. "Chefs Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth are true culinary masters, and their numerous accolades and awards are a testament to their exceptional talent and dedication. We invite you to experience the world-renowned cuisine and impeccable service of Trova Coastal Kitchen, led by our own local chef Julio Cartagena," says Chris Sariego, Senior Managing Director and COO of LionGrove.  The hotel is set in the Palmas Del Mar community in Puerto Rico, anchored by a pair of world-class golf courses: one designed by Gary Player, the other by Rees Jones.

We found a $271 rate for Wyndham Palmas Beach and Golf Boutique Resort, April 5–9, a strong catch for a full-service resort inside the Palmas del Mar community in Humacao on Puerto Rico’s east coast.

The rate is listed on Google Hotels’ platform.

Expect the usual add-ons at checkout, including taxes and any nightly resort or parking charges, and assume the price can shift quickly once weekends and spring demand tighten up.

Why This Deal Is Interesting Right Now
Early April travel in Puerto Rico often lands in that sweet spot where you can get beach weather without paying peak-season top dollar. At this property, the value shows up in what you can actually use on a 4-night stay: you’re a short walk from the sand, you’ve got multiple pools (including an adults-only infinity pool and a family pool with a lazy-river setup), and you can eat and drink on-property without turning every meal into a drive. The resort also puts you in a part of the island where day trips are practical—Old San Juan in one direction, El Yunque in another—while you still end each day back in a gated resort community with golf, tennis, and a marina nearby.

What Your April 5–9 Stay Looks Like
This is the kind of booking that rewards a simple plan: beach time, pool time, a couple of set-piece outings, and then lots of unforced hours where you can stay put. Palmas del Mar is a large resort community, so even if you never leave the gates you can still fill days with easy routines—coffee, a walk, a long pool stretch, dinner on-site, repeat. If you do want to get out, you’re positioned to split the trip between history and nature. Pick one day for Old San Juan’s cobblestone streets, forts, and late lunches, then keep another day for El Yunque’s trails and waterfalls. That division keeps the driving reasonable while letting the hotel stay do what it’s best at: being a comfortable base with water right there.

Pools, Beach, and the Parts You’ll Actually Use
Wyndham Palmas leans into classic resort essentials. You’ve got direct access to Palmas del Mar Beach, plus 2 distinct pool scenes: an infinity pool reserved for adults and a second pool set up for families with a lazy-river feel. If your goal is a stay where you can alternate between saltwater and chlorinated water without thinking too hard about logistics, this place delivers. On days when you want a change of pace without a big commitment, the wider Palmas del Mar community adds extra options close by, including tennis facilities and golf.

Dining and Drinks On Property
Food is one of the reasons this rate plays well, because you can keep meals easy and still have choices. The resort’s dining lineup includes Trova Coastal Kitchen, plus casual options like Costa Pizza. Café 1736 is positioned as the day-to-day anchor for coffee and lighter bites, and it also advertises afternoon tea service—useful when you want a sit-down break that doesn’t feel like “another full meal.” There’s also a cigar lounge with spirits and a pool table, which is an easy post-dinner stop when you want one more round without leaving the property. If you’re traveling with a group where everyone keeps different hours, having multiple venues on-site helps you keep the trip relaxed and flexible.

Golf Inside Palmas del Mar

If golf is part of your plan, the resort places you next to 2 championship layouts at the Palmas del Mar Golf Club. The Palm Course was designed by Gary Player, with rolling fairways and strategic bunkering that reward placement over power. The Flamboyán Course, designed by Rees Jones, brings a tighter, more technical routing with water features and elevated greens. You can book a morning tee time and still spend the afternoon at the pool or beach, keeping the trip balanced between course time and coast time

Good to Know Before You Book
Make sure the $271 rate you found matches the exact plan you want. It’s also worth checking the fine print for parking and any resort fees so you’re comparing the real nightly total across sites. If you’re choosing between room types, prioritize a balcony or terrace if the price difference is reasonable; having outdoor seating tends to pay off on a multi-night beach stay when you want a quiet wind-down without heading to a bar.

Getting There
The resort lists roughly an hour of driving time from San Juan’s main airport, Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, with the usual options to cover the trip by rental car, taxi, shuttle, or ride share. Once you’re in Palmas del Mar, you can keep driving to a minimum, which is part of what makes a 4-night stay feel longer than it is.

Where to Stay
If you want a straightforward beachfront base with pools, dining, and access to golf inside Palmas del Mar, Wyndham Palmas Beach and Golf Boutique Resort at $271 for April 5–9 is the kind of Hotel Tracker rate that makes sense to grab while it’s still there. It’s a plug-and-play Puerto Rico trip: you land, you drive about an hour, and then you can keep the rest of the week focused on water, meals, and 1 or 2 day trips without rebuilding your plans every day.
