COVID-19 Updates

Travel Guidelines – for latest updates, visit DiscoverPuertoRico.com, the island’s official tourism website.

For All Travelers:

  • All travelers to Puerto Rico are required complete the Travel Declaration Form portal before arrival on the island (https://www.travelsafe.pr.gov/).
    • You will need to know your flight number and arrival time, as well as have a picture of your vaccination card or instead, a negative result of a molecular or antigen test to detect COVID-19 carried out within the period of 2 days before arrival on the Island or 48 hours after arriving in Puerto Rico.
    • When requested, the municipality of the hotel is Rio Grande; the full address is Wyndham Grand Rio Mar, 6000 Blvd. Rio Mar, Rio Grande, PR 00745.
  • All visitors and guests to the Wyndham must pass through a wellness checkpoint for screening before entering the resort and conference center. Failure to comply with the testing or to present the vaccination card during the arrival process will result in the cancellation of your reservation and denial of entry to the resort.
  • Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and visitors are excluded from the CDC requirement to provide a negative COVID-19 test result to return to the mainland United States.

For Fully Vaccinated* Travelers Coming from the US:

  • Beginning February 2nd, fully vaccinated passengers will no longer have to provide a negative test.

For Unvaccinated Travelers Coming from the US:

  • Guests that are not fully vaccinated must present a negative result to a COVID-19 test performed in the last 48 hours by an authorized healthcare professional or a positive result to a COVID-19 test performed within the previous three months accompanied by a certification of recovery issues by an authorized healthcare professional or government official. Passengers arriving in Puerto Rico without a test will have 48 hours to take one upon arrival or be subject to a fine. Unvaccinated travelers without test results must quarantine until a negative test result is received.

For all International Travelers:

  • All travelers arriving on international flights must present a negative PCR or antigen COVID-19 test performed by an authorized health provider taken within one day prior to departure along with proof of vaccination. Unvaccinated travelers arriving on international flights will only be allowed in if they are U.S. citizens or permanent lawful residents.

No Passport Required StampPuerto Rico is closer than you think! Direct flights are available from more than 20 U.S. Airports.

The Westin Grand Rio Mar is located less than 30 minutes from the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU). For your convenience, arrival and departure shuttle transfers are available through Group Services Inc. and should be booked a minimum of 48 hours in advance.

  • The airport shuttle is a shared, non-exclusive service, and there may be other resort guests sharing the transportation with your group.
  • The transfer service has an initial charge of $88.00 per reservation and that covers up to 2 people. Any additional persons in the same reservation will be priced at $44.00 each. If a guest is traveling solo, the price of $88.00 will be charged as it is the initial fee.
