Went with my partner to PV in June 2024. This hotel was perfect - best place I've ever stayed anywhere. Everything was stunning. Pools are incredible. Views: immaculate. Service was fantastic and so warm and friendly. The cat, Elizabeth, even cuddled with us on our last night! Everything was clean. Location was also walkable to the beach, boardwalk, and many many great restaurants and bars. Amazing street food near the church in the evenings! Would recommend this place to anyone.

The whole hotel was so charming and unique. I loved everything about it, you really get the authentic Mexico experience here with the location. I seen previous reviews that complained about water pressure but it was fine for me. I was in the scarlet room and it was beautiful, small but we didn’t need anything bigger (maybe just more closet space for clothes) the deep bathtub and balcony was lovely. The only downside was the air conditioner leaked a lot, there was a huge puddle on the floor when we woke up but we told the front desk person and it was fixed later that day. Yes you will hear dogs barking but we slept with some white noise on YouTube and the AC on so it didn’t affect our sleep. It’s a quick walk to the beach and if you want to try breakfast out of the hotel go to mi cafe, it’s only 2 blocks away and amazing breakfast.

Loved everything about this hotel. It’s a cute small quirky boutique hotel & everyone was so friendly. We were greeted by chips & Guac & a complimentary drink from the bar. Rigo provided us with amazing service & him and the staff were able to upgrade us for free to a better room because it was my bfs birthday's. They even had the room decorated for his special day which we loved. I also loved how they call a taxi for you if needed, so getting around was never an issue. This hotel is close to everything and walking distance from the malecon. If you’re looking for an Affordable nice hotel to stay at then i HIGHLY recommend this hotel. I will definitely be back.

You will really enjoy Mexico’s beauty and culture is you stay here. The location is just amazing!! The hotel itself has a lot of character and beautiful views all around. The people working here are super friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was delicious. I will definitely stay here again. Very easy to find street tacos around the area. Those are the tacos I enjoyed the most. Walkable distance everywhere. To the Malecon, to the bank to the shops to the street markets. Very easy to get taxi and uber. We mostly walked everywhere. I really loved this place.

We really enjoyed our stay here, we were greeted at the door by a friendly host who welcomed us in and gave us a refreshing tea and guacamole- a nice touch. The room was very clean with beautiful decor. The room overlooked the river but it is completely dry right now in June of 2024. This is apparently low season but it didn’t feel that way because, though we were here through the week, the night life was exciting and there were many people. The only thing that made our trip uncomfortable was the sound of the neighborhood dogs every morning around 7:30-8 am, without fail. This of course is not the hotels fault. The hotel is located at the end of a road without much traffic noise or crowd noise, which was nice. We brought earplugs and turned on the noise machine and still were woken up by the dogs. This is just something to be aware of before staying here. We chose the included breakfast which was a nice spread of a continental breakfast (toast, local fruit, jam, butter, coffee, fresh juice) and you can choose an item from the menu which is a full breakfast. The hotel is within walking distance to the beach (seven blocks) local shopping and all the OXXOs and Farmacias you could ever want for your convenient store or pharmacy needs. I recommend this hotel to adults (I think it’s adults only) and definitely couples. I would not bring a child here because there are scary winding staircases and three to four pools they could fall into.

This was our second time staying at Rivera Del Rio and we will definitely be returning. The staff is lovely, the walk to the beach is 10 minutes max, there’s ample food and shopping nearby and the area is quiet. Be sure to have breakfast overlooking the river, or grab a drink at the rooftop pool.

Excellent boutique hotel right in the middle of Zona romantica. Easy access to go everwhere. The hotel is pretty quiet at night because it’s next to the river. Authentic decor inside the Cortez suite. Amazing view of the city and sunset from the rooftop pool. Many eateries around the area. Reasonable price and friendly staff. We will be back.

This is a very unique hotel. We picked it because of the fun decor and it didn’t not disappoint. Everywhere you look there is fun, interesting and whimsical artwork and decorative touches. Unfortunately many areas just seem old and under kept. Most of the staff are lovely and very helpful. The area seems a little sketchy at night but after taking a few evening walks, I’m sure the sketchiness is more perception than reality. If you enjoy the eclectic, this is your place!

Place is 20m or so away from airport so not that far. Reception was very welcoming, explained amenities, & recommended places to visit around the neighbourhood. In lobby they have pamphlets of excursions to try. Our room Maria was very open from bedroom to the bathroom. It gets loud during breakfast since it is next where other guests eat. Although the bed was very comfortable so we had no problem sleeping. Place is perfect walk 10m away from Malecon & there are nearby places to eat (just a matter googling what’s close) … rather than relying on places by the Malecon. Breakfast isn’t free but there are great cafe’s nearby. Pool on 3rd floor, but a spectacular view on rooftop 7th floor with also a swimming pool that’s open 24/7 (recommended to try at night to enjoy the city lights). Employees were always so friendly & especially the cats that I can’t resist petting whenever we pass by. Would love to come back & try another suite since each of them are different from the other.
