Great hotel. Highly recommended. The staff was on top of everything, the rooms are very clean. The front desk are glad to help you with directions anywhere you want to visit in Puerto Vallarta. The hotel is located very near the beach and el malecon.

This is probably the cleanest place in Puerto Vallarta. Cleaning staff are busy 24 hours a day. Most front-desk and hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. Proximity is convenient, on a busy street but very near the Malecon, along the ocean in the old town area. Interior courtyard setting is sweet.

We have stayed around Puerto Vallarta several times throughout the years. This time we chose to stay in the Centro region during "Holy Week" (March 23-31). This hotel was truly a great find! It was conveniently located across the street from the Malecon and all its attractions yet quiet and comfortable for our R&R. The rooms were immaculate and perfectly... More

My family stayed at Hotel Rio Malecon for two nights during the Easter Break which is a very busy time in Mexico. "Malecon" means boardwalk in English, and Puerto Vallarta's is one of the most enjoyable: wide, lined with restaurants and sculptures, always something interesting going on. It was great to walk out of the hotel and be on the... More

We booked the hotel for six day in January 2013, based upon other Trip Advisor reviews. Hotel exceeded our expectations. Staff at the front desk was very helpful, especially Alejandra and Ulyses. The restaurant that is connected, Coexist, was excellent. Breakfast was some of the best we had. Restaurant staff, especially Carlos and Nacho, did a super job. Really enjoyed... More

We stayed at Hotel Rio Malecon for 6 amazing nights. Victor and his staff were absolutely fantastic throughout our stay. After days on the beach we'd come back to beautiful Daiquiris and Mojitos at Coexist, a great restaurant which is part of the hotel.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 days, in July 2012. I was pleasantly suprised. It's a great location in the middle of everything. On a busy street, but we didn't notice any problems with noise, even though we had a room on the corner. The small pool was nice to have to cool off after walking around PV... More

We have stayed at the Hotel Rio several times because of its great location, friendly staff and reasonable rates. The outside spaces are welcoming, but a few more chairs would be welcome on the second and third floor interior courtyards. There is plenty of seating around the Coexsist Restaurant< however, which is a great place for a cocktail or a... More
