The only real disappointment was breakfast—we found it overpriced for what was offered, especially considering the many other nearby places serving better breakfast options for the same or less.

Hotel Boutique Riviera Del Rio – July 4th Extended Weekend Stay We stayed at Hotel Boutique Riviera Del Rio over the extended July 4th weekend for five days and had a great experience overall. First and foremost, the onsite manager, Javier Garcia, was outstanding—friendly, courteous, helpful, and genuinely considerate of our needs throughout our stay. His attentiveness made a big difference. Our room, while smaller than expected, was comfortable and nicely appointed, with two sliding French doors that opened to beautiful views of the Puerto Vallarta hillsides. The bathroom was spotless, and the waterfall shower delivered both hot and cold water with the perfect massaging pressure we craved at the end of each day. We also appreciated the convenience of the three (possibly four) free parking spaces directly across the hotel, which was perfect for our rental car. The rooftop pool and bar offered fantastic views, and the bartender crafted some truly delicious margaritas. This was definitely a highlight of our stay. The only real disappointment was breakfast—we found it overpriced for what was offered, especially considering the many other nearby places serving better breakfast options for the same or less. Overall, we truly enjoyed our time at Riviera Del Rio and would recommend it to others, especially for the charm, comfort, and warm hospitality.

Unique and memorable. The breakfast is delicious, hotel is a dreamscape, and the staff are exceptional. We stayed in the Candelaria and it was a wonderful space to explore Zona Romantica.

EVERYTHING

Obsessed. We stayed in the Green Room and I don’t think I could ever stay in another hotel again, this is it. If you love vintage charm, historical architecture, roof top pools, amazing bartenders ( jesus), amazing hosts (Ivan), fabulous river view breakfasts, and accessibility to the ocean, bars, and restaurants- don’t stay anywhere else. We made life long friends at the pool and honestly if I could live there full time, I would. Are yall hiring ??? JUST STAY HERE!!!!!

Great location by the river in the older, non-touristy part of town. Short walk to restaurants, the river walk shops and the beach

Open concept bathroom in the Candelaria suite (there was a curtain, no door or ceiling separating it from the main room) but nbd, there was a private bathroom just up the stairs by the green pool.

I have never stayed at a cuter place. It's obvious so much thought and love went into the design. We stayed here four nights and I kept finding new cute things to look at. The pools were great, the staff was so fun and helpful, the bed was so comfy, and there were cats! I'm not usually one to revisit a location but I definitely want to come back.

Beautiful building with fun rooms and amazing staff. We loved both the rooftop pool and the pool on the third floor. Amazing location and view. We loved exploring the city from the hotel!

Could you a paint job in the rooms. Hot tub was not working.

The infinity pool on the 7th floor was great. Bar and bartender Jesus with great. Breakfast was also good. We had the Vanity room which included breakfast and we loved it. Only 10-15 to Malecón and beaches. Easy walk. ATM nearby to withdraw pesos. Street vendors near for cheap tacos. No issues with WIFI. Front desk very helpful.

Poor sound insulation and light control in our room.

Staff was exceptional. Roof top pool was great. Good location.

My only complaint would be that there was not as much hot water as we (mostly I) would have liked. We had booked our stay because of the bathtub and I know I really looked forward to using it. We spent most of our vacation saving money at Airbnb's and had previously had no hot water, so it was disappointing to see that, while there was plenty for a shower, it did not fill up the bath as much as I would have liked. We also planned on going to the hot tub earlier but it was a bit chilly and were told that it did not heat up until after around 6pm, which was ok, it would have been nice to have known that from the beginning.

The location in Puerta Vallarta is amazing, right near the Romantic Zone but still far enough away to be quiet, it is right beside a small river and island. The hotel is great, especially if you love eclectic things, which I know I do. It has two pools and one hot tub, and you can get breakfast included for a small price (we did not have this, however we heard positive things!) We went swimming in the rooftop pool which was very warm for a slightly breezy day in Mexico, and went in the hot tub later. The service staff were all very attentive and helpful and we had a great check in experience, we were given free drink vouchers for the rooftop bar which was a wonderful welcome :)

Walls are very thin, so you can hear your neighbors very easily if you have them.

24 hour pool, super comfortable beds, ELIZABETH the CAT, very friendly staff, close to many amenities, etc

I wish they offered a room or two with two beds appropriate for two friends to share.

There is a lovely infinity lap pool on the roof with a glorious view. It is in a quaint area, very walkable, lively, convenient. Friendly place and staff. Decor is unique— gives you the sense of glamorous old PV. Recommended for someone who values charm over state-of-the-art conveniences like outlets everywhere and great showers. There is an elevator that works perfectly. A very memorable place to stay.

Nothing

Great location, out of the busy area but close enough to walk to the beach and restaurants! Rooftop pool was amazing. All the staff are lovely!

I highly recommend staying here. We upgraded to a room called ‘Jocelyn’ and it was an absolutely beautiful view over looking the river valley. The room was bright and had a little fridge. The staff were fantastic! We were greeted with a margarita and fresh pico de gallo with nachos. The location was located just a little away from the hustle and bustle of the beach front and was very quiet. I especially missed being served Mezcalitas by Jesus on the rooftop patio and pool. We were served a nice breakfast each morning while we chatted over our ideas for the day. If you are looking for a quaint boutique hotel experience this is the place!

The occasional barking symphony, but the hotel isn't at fault for that. Besides, the bed was so comfortable that I slept through it most of the time. I could probably hear it more than other rooms because of the thatched roof. This, however, will not deter me from staying again.

The location of the hotel is perfect! Walks to the beach and boardwalk were quick. Views from the rooftop were amazing. The staff was fantastic. My next visit to PV will likely include staying here. Ivan and staff were excellent hosts.

Nothing really stands out

Location - it was close enough to the beach and bars but yet away from the noise where one could get good night sleep. Also close to local breakfast and dinner restaurants.

The Candelaria Suite was amazing! Two floors, private patio, and amazing furnishings. The staff was also incredibly helpful and friendly. We will definitely consider staying here again the next time we are in Puerto Vallarta!
