Pros: We were the first time in the Hotel Boutique Rivera Del Rio and are totally thrilled. This Hotel and its Crew is outstanding! After a perfect organized pickup service from the airpot we enjoyed a very warm welcome with an one-hour conversation ans handmade Mageritas. The hotel´s motto: Come as a friend and feel like home is lived here honestly! Melina, Ariana and Krisztina are pearls in this business. They forfilled all our wishes and make our stay incredibly comfortable.The breakfast is very delicious and you order it a la carte, wich means it´s always fresh cooked. A tip of us, if ever possible enjoy your breakfast at the bar with a view of the river and Geckos in the trees, just enjoy the peace and unwind.We had the room Maria Posa and loved the decor, a large room with fireplace and balcony. This house has a good energy to its guests and we have never been so relaxed. The poo, and especially the Jaccuzi are wonderful and highly recommended. The Poolbar is well equipped and you can mix your own drinks against a signature; what a trust. We´re really sorry that we couldn´t stay longer. If we ever come back to Puerto Vallarta, we are looking forward to stay again in Rivera Del Rio. Ladies, you have done a terrific job and we´ll miss you.

Pros: Staff was very nice. The facilities were clean. It did not promise anything it did not deliver.
Cons: The price was the same as the 5-star hotels 25 minutes south. My reason for staying at Villa Premier was that is was close into town. But the surrounding area kind of sucked. And Puerto Vallarta is not a super nice place and I would suggest to stay in a higher end place and venture out once a day into town.

Cons: Like one of the reviewers noted, I too was placed in a room that faced the air conditioning units in the courtyard. The best outcome for this situation is that I know I would have been moved to a better room if I had asked. But I was only there one night so didn't bother.

Pros: Check-in was easy, bell hop led us to our room which was not ready so we had to go back to the front desk to get another room assignment. Second room was much smaller, faced the inner courtyard area. It also did not have a balcony like the first room did. It had one window which faced the inner courtyard area and another window with obscured glass to let in natural sunlight. Couldn't leave the courtyard window open for security reasons. I understand the location and "ocean smells" that occur but the room was quite musty smelling...beyond what I have ever experienced in an near-ocean hotel. A room with a balcony and window to the exterior would allow you to air the room out a bit.
The bathroom was fine, shower a bit small but it worked for our needs. Decent closet with pelnty of hangers, a shelf, and a safe. The room also had a small 3-drawer dresser but every drawer slide was broken so it took a little work to open and close them.
Overall, the location is the greatest value of this hotel. The lobby, courtyard and rooms are finished with typical spanish decor. The bed was quite comfortable and rooftop area and pool are very inviting and offer decent views of downtown and the farmers market area.

The lobby area was cool and airy with vines growing everywhere.
This seemed like a hotel adults who want to relax would enjoy. The pool was on he rooftop.
Hotel playa Los Arcos was across the street. My friends stayed there and we wore the same wristbands so I believe you could use that pool and beach area.

Cons: The biggest problem was some noise. There was some construction going on nearby but also street sounds that cropped up from time to time in the night and morning. I'm a heavy sleeper and was fine but my wife who's a light sleeper woke up several times. The A/C worked well but leaked a pool of water in the room. We suspect it was due to heavy rains at the time.
None of this caused us to regret our selection. It wasn't awful; just something to note.

Pros: LOVE the location and the charm of the Romantic Zone. Stay hear for an authentic experience in the Romantic Zone but don't have high expectations of the hotel. The best part about the hotel is that it seems kept very clean. With the air-conditioning running, the room was for quiet for sleeping. Located just 3 short blocks from the beach and boardwalk. Hotel provided beach towels for a deposit which is returned to you at check-out. Breakfast was not included but coffee and/or breakfast is available at the restaurant next door. Suggestion: Just have coffee, then dress for the beach and go to Burro's on the beach with an ocean front table. A lovely young women named Melody will seat you. Her father owns the restaurant. We ordered: coffee (always fresh), pico de gallo, avacado slices, refried beans and tortillas. Melody also brought us fresh salsa. Perfect!

Pros: Great location with lots Mexican flair and a variety of great restaurants. Only stayed one night on our way to final destination. Close to the bus station which we were able to walk to in the am.
Cons:
7.0 Good
Pros: LOVE the location and the charm of the Romantic Zone. Stay hear for an authentic experience in the Romantic Zone but don't have high expectations of the hotel. The best part about the hotel is that it seems kept very clean. With the air-conditioning running, the room was for quiet for sleeping. Located just 3 short blocks from the beach and boardwalk. Hotel provided beach towels for a deposit which is returned to you at check-out. Breakfast was not included but coffee and/or breakfast is available at the restaurant next door. Suggestion: Just have coffee, then dress for the beach and go to Burro's on the beach with an ocean front table. A lovely young women named Melody will seat you. Her father owns the restaurant. We ordered: coffee (always fresh), pico de gallo, avacado slices, refried beans and tortillas. Melody also brought us fresh salsa. Perfect!
Cons: No safe in my room. Safes are available near the front desk. Poor room lighting. The mattress was about a "B" with ok pillows. Shower had extremely poor water pressure at the sink and shower. No soap to wash with. (Two flights down to ask for some) Shower drain was loose and not properly attached. Although the room seemed very clean, the light switches were filthy so it makes a person wonder what else is overlooked. Drawers on dresser stick. The entire hotel is in major need of basic upgrades although it fits perfectly with the flavor of the neighborhood so the condition was not totally unexpected. Places like "Roger" are disappearing and upgrading to boutique type places - which is sad. They do try and keep it nice with the minimal resources they are spending on it. It was two narrow staircases up to our room with no offer to help with the bags - they should at least offer.

Cons: The room was fairly basic with two full size beds, but clean.

Pros:
Cons: The hotel is under construction and the noise started at 8:00am and went on all day long and into the evening till 9:00pm.
We were moved from one very noisy room to another that was still noisy.
It's a nice place with lots of potential but I'd wouldn't recommend staying there till they are completely finished with all their construction.

Pros: The room was amazing.
Cons: I had hoped better access to the beach and pool.
8.2 Excellent
Pros: Location to beach
Cons: ALL rooms have an ocean view, except X15 rooms. Unknowingly, I booked the one set of rooms that doesn't view the ocean. I've stayed here before and never knew there were non-ocean facing rooms, and the website didn't make that clear. We were there one night, and when asked to be moved, they wanted $80 more. It was already over-priced and not worth the value, in my opinion.

Pros: Property is gorgeous. Perfectly perched on the ocean with access to all amenities. Very safe for LGBT travelers. Excellent staff.
Cons: They are doing some light construction, which interrupted morning sleep at 8 AM.

Cons: There is still construction going on around the hotel which was a little noisy but it wasn't as intrusive as some people suggested. They will try to sell you on a timeshare breakfast but our rep was very respectful and didn't push us to attend.

Pros: Clean, nice and helpful staff, economical, good location in terms of visiting the shops in Malecon.
Cons: This hotel is for young adults who are into the night life because you can totally hear them coming in at 3 am in the morning, drunk, yelling and banging on the doors. Because the hotel is located on a busy street with cobble street roads, you can also hear the cars/trucks VERY clearly, and if you are a light sleeper, you will not have a peaceful sleep. I booked this hotel for my family (unknowingly), and we did not fall asleep until 5 in the morning. I'm not sure what it's like if the room were on the other side, but if you happen to have already booked a room, I would request for a room opposite of the main road.

Pros: The location was very good. The rooftop view.

Cons: Thought we had booked a "deluxe" room with balcony. Learned upon check in that "deluxe" does not guarantee balcony or bed type. Rooms could use some updating. Beach service varied greatly depending on server.
Great location! Great for large group - we had 25!
6.2 Good
Pros: The staff is excellent.
Cons: This is not the place for someone who is well traveled. Even the most exclusive rooms are basic, No tubs, no frills. Spa is a joke, Lack of service and amenities. Pools are small and crowded with children, Beach is insanely small and rocky. Very limited lounging on the beach side. The place is covered with Timeshare families. So large parties with many screaming kids! Not the place for Honeymooners, Young singles/ couples, or a relaxing getaway. Best for a family of 5 on a budget.

Pros: Great location for walking the Malecon which has wonderful restaurants and drinks!
Cons: The sliding door on the bathroom. Was like a piece of plywood and didn't slide easily and it was heavy.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: The rooms were clean and has your basic needs. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. We needed to use the phone to confirm a tour and the guy at the front desk called for me. They also stored our bags for us while we went out since check out was at noon and we didn't have to leave until later. The beach was not even a minute walk away. The market was across the street and there were placed to eat all around us. The location was great.
Cons: I wish the wi-fi worked throughout the hotel and not just in our room.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Loved this hotel. Very affordable, outstanding location, and exceptionally friendly staff. Everyone I interacted with at the hotel was super helpful. The rooms were simple but comfortable, clean, and safe. AC was strong. The pool was refreshing and all the food I had at the cafe was delicious. Honestly, I was surprised by how outstanding my experience was for the price. Hotel Rio Malecon is a secret treasure!

Pros: Being in the heart of the city. Walk to cathedral, bus to Arches for snorkelling, local authentic Emilio Zapata market. Family owned restaurants
Cons: Main city street noise. Get room off
Main street
7.1 Good
Pros: The price is obviously a plus. The staff were really nice and the concierge spoke really good English. The air conditioning worked really well. The pool is beautiful however right in the middle of everything so everyone is watching you from the restaurant and the hotel rooms. I also liked the location, it felt right inside of the culture of Puerto Vallarta, it didn't give off that resort vibe at all, if that's what you're looking for.
Cons: The shower we had would always flood the entire bathroom, with only a thin curtain and no ledge to catch the excess water. Also, everything just felt dirty. We found a weird yellowish stain on our sheets and they always felt a little sticky. Oh and by far the worst part was all of the fleas. There were hundreds of fleas in the bed, on the floor. Everywhere. And even though the air conditioning worked, it was so loud it's hard to hear your spouse talk.
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Great location very friendly staff. Small but very clean and a comfortable bed. A little noisy from the street that we found enjoyable.
Cons:
9.2 Excellent
Pros: The staff were friendly and professional. The hotel was very clean. The room was private and I didn't have anyone bothering me. It was a nice place to stay, good value for money. Would recommend to solo travelers and couples.
Cons: It was advertised on their listing that wi-fi was available in all areas, which was the main reason I chose this hotel over two others. Unfortunately, some rooms didn't have any wi-fi signal and in my room I had to place my laptop close to the door to get the signal. Also, the 3pm check-in was very late for me. 12pm or 1pm is acceptable.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Comfortable, location
Cons: Busy street out front
5.0 Okay
Pros: Proximity to the malecon, cleanliness of the hotel, friendly staff.
Cons: Cushions for our deck chairs would not be provided, swimming pool wasn't really a pool for swimming and it was freezing cold. Sometimes ice could not be provided This is a hotel meant for very short stays not long ones.
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Great location and staff.
Cons: Odor in bathroom due to lack of ventilation and standing water in shower drain pipe
8.5 Excellent
Pros: Staff and location were amazing. It's one street away from the Malecon, but it's not as busy. The restaurant was great as well. You get amazing food for a decent price and it's not as busy as all of the restaurants on the boardwalk. You can enjoy your meal in peace.
Cons: Beds were tiny.

Pros: The location was great, in the heart of the old town. However our room was tiny, dingy, very bare and the only window opened into a hallway. There were two double beds which were very hard, you could feel the springs beneath the sheets, and the blankets were thin. The bathroom was terrible- the toilet lid wouldn't stay open so it pressed against your back when in use, and the shower never got hot or even warm enough to use comfortably. There were hairs on the floor in both the bathroom and the bedroom. And there were stains on the towels. We do not stay in 5 star hotels so it was not that our standards were so high, it was actually that this room and bathroom were genuinely gross. Very bare bones in every way. I asked to upgrade to a nicer room and was told there were no other rooms available. No effort was made to make our situation better. Both my kids (10 and 15) were surprised at the unpleasant quality of the room, and we did not spend much time in it. Thankfully we had only one night to spend there, and I would NOT go there again. There are many far better hotels for similar prices. Additionally the "pool" on the rooftop was barely big enough to wade in- the view was nice but other than that I cannot recommend this hotel. Perhaps other rooms were nicer, but we'll never know...

Pros: The location was great for all the stuff near by like restaurants, flea market and the Malcon.
Cons: Our room had mold on the shower curtain, hair on the beds, in the shower and on the floor. We had a hole in the door where you could see in. We asked to be moved to a cleaner room which they did move us, but it wasn't very clean either. Sad thing is I think there were other rooms that were a lot nicer but they didn't put us in one of those. You could see they were remodeling the rooms but we got a very old room. We were stuck down at the very end of the hall in the inner courtyard with no windows.

Cons: There was renovation going on, which looked exciting for the hotel in general, but definitely on the noisier side. The WiFi connection was decent in the small lobby and spotty at best in our room and other areas of hotel. I was planning to work one day and luckily there’s a great cafe next door, A Page In the Sun, with strong WiFi. The shower didn’t drain well, but the pressure was great.

Cons: Noise from the bar next door continued until at least 11:00 at night. We were on the third floor in room 304 and it was loud enough to keep us up. Small room with old furnishings and torn pillows, but that's what I expected from a budget hotel 1/2-block from the bay. Both pools are small and not for swimming. Only one sheet provided with bedding - no blanket. WiFi was inconsistent. We would stay again, though.

I think 10:00 would be better as "morning people" who like to dance should maybe go out at night once in a while and sleep in. We had an inside room and learned every song. Ugh.

Pros: The hotel has 4 parking spots which you have to pay for and are full most of the time. So you have to find parking out on the street (Goodluck)! The receptionists are not very nice. They cut you off and can be rude at times. She forgot to give me my ID back so after I realised it i went back down. Most of the time they are talking to eachother or the luggage helpers and they make you wait until they finish their conversation. She put my ID on the counter and didnt say anything. The restaurant staff on the other hand are super nice and helpful! Food is really good my 2yo finished her plate! That itself should say it all! & super cheap too! You have the pool outside of the restaurant and you go down a few steps and have the ocean right at your feet! The room was not super clean bathroom had a funky smell and definitely needs updating and better cleaning! It is a 10 min walk or less to El Malecon. Overall our stay was okay just the staff need to give better service and be nicer!

Pros: My friend and I stayed for a week at the El Pescador. It is a very clean and friendly place to stay. The view of the Bay of Banderas is awesome. The air conditioning was vital at this humid time of year and it worked well, ensuring our comfort. This basic hotel easily becomes homey because of the friendly, helpful staff and the clean, safe environment. We were within walking distance of the Malecon and all the exciting adventures there. The hotel restaurant is good but we could also walk to try other options as well. When we needed a taxi the welcomers would go whereever necessary to get it and come back to settle us in the car. There was always a welcoming, helpful person at the hotel entrance. We loved our week at the El Pescador.

Pros: Great location! Clean room!

Restaurant staff never once in 5 days came and asked me if I would like anything when I was sitting right there! Same with pool side service never had one drink served to me! One day I went up to the counter to get a coffee and the waiter walked past me 3 time and never said a thing so a lady maybe hostess, ask me what I would like and said one min. Left and while she was gone this miserable waiter waved at me from another table and then came to ask what I wanted I told him and he waved me to go wait and the both ended up bringing me a coffee. The waiter got pissed off and started yelling at me saying this wasn’t his fault! They charged me over $4.00 for a cup of coffee! So many problems to list!

There were many choices for food and we LOVED the poolside "snack bar" by the pool, which had great burgers for lunch and great Mexican choices for dinner. All of our rooms had lovely pool/ocean views. Rooms very large.

Pros: Hotel Encino was as advertised. It was close to the beachfront, and cheap. The room was adequate, and the lobby was pretty. It does actually have a pool on the top floor that was clean. It does not have a breakfast to rate. The room tended to get very stuffy, so we had to use the air conditioner's fan. Also because the whole hotel had tile floors, sound carried very well. All the doors slammed very loudly, and we were disturbed early in the morning by the church bell. The absolute worst part was the bed. It was level at least, but I could feel the springs through the mattress. Thank goodness we brought an air mattress! Still, it was a perfectly adequate place to stay because of the location by the beach. Great value if you want simple lodging by the beach.

Pros: Room 116 which is way in back in north east section. My 3rd and probably last stay there. Reservation said room with balcony and river view. When i got there they said no river view rooms available and they said the same thing the next few days. Bed was hard and not level, kind of a humpback. Toilet would only flush once every 15 minutes as is takes that long for the tank to refill. Window blinds were thin so not very dark in the room at night. They updated the TV to a nice flat screen with many channels though only about 6 in english. The TV remote did not work consistently. Maid service was good. Location pretty good for the price, a block or so from ocean, few blocks from usable beach. If you are over 49 you probably would not put up with all of the little problems with this place. If you get a river view room you can overlook most of them, otherwise i would pass. Air conditioning worked OK though loud which helped drown out the street noise. The shower had very hot water to my surprise though the toilet is located basically in the shower which is odd. Ceilings are nice and high. Free wifi, in the lobby only, which is nice. The lights in the room are not very bright making it hard to shave or put on makeup. Saw a gecko in my room once.

Pros: Great location. Our first room wasn't great, but we asked to change rooms and the second room was excellent--bigger with a nice view of the river.
Cons: Poor WiFi--we usually had to go down to the first floor to get on. The pool is always cold, so we only used it once. Also, when we checked in, we expected to be able to pay with a credit card as we had done there in previous years. We were told that their credit card machine was down and had been for a few days prior to our stay. We had not received any notification of this and did not have enough pesos to pay for our stay. We were given until noon the next day to pay. The next morning, we went in search of an ATM. We tried several in the area but could not access either of our accounts (perhaps because we didn't have credit/debit cards). In the end, we did find an ATM that accepted one of our debit cards and were able to pay for our room. It was a very stressful situation and ruined our first day there. We feel that the hotel should have notified us (and I'm sure other guests as well) that their machine was down so that we could have brought sufficient pesos with us.

You can navigate most of downtown via walking about ~30minutes! Which is great because there's some pretty wild bars on the Boardwalk (La Vaquita/Mandala/etc.). Also, there are no additional steps needed to get into the room, so the property was pretty wheelchair and walker accessible.

Cons: Getting towels was difficult in the room. If you want a hair dryer or iron you need to call the front desk and book it. And then go get it yourself. One day they didn’t do room service, so I asked for bottle of water which they are suppose to supply. They couldn’t and I had to buy my own. No guests are allowed on the property at all I couldn’t bring a friend to my room that lives there. The cleaning staff knocked on the door every morning early. I asked for a do not disturb sign. They said they would bring me one. They never did. I had a very unpleasant experience there.

Pros: Food was very good with good variety of choices. Location the best! Common areas were cleaned and well maintained. Staff great! I would suggest the rooms in older wing which haven’t been updated since it was built, get replaced. These rooms are terrible in every way!
Cons:
7.0 Good
Pros: The location of the San Marino is great close to all you need. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Liked the adult area has a great view of the beach good place to relax without anyone trying to sell you something.
Cons: The room was dated, bed was hard .Water stains on the ceiling in the bathroom. Room is dark could use better lighting. There is no power outlet by the night stand. The TV was stuck in the corner of the room hard to look at. The The air conditioner was hard to figure out. People partying late at night .
5.0 Okay
Pros: Location. The pools and beach facilities and the all inclusive was good value.
Cons: The room was shabby with a broken vanity and intermittent light in the bathroom. No bath mat or hand towel for half our stay and we had to chase up towels and water for our room every second day.
6.5 Good
Pros: It was close to everything
Cons: Rooms are old beds are worn out restroom was bad
4.0 Okay
Pros: The property is in an EXCELLENT location! Close to dozens of great restaurants and taco stands, and steps away from the beach and boardwalk! You can navigate most of downtown via walking about ~30minutes! Which is great because there's some pretty wild bars on the Boardwalk (La Vaquita/Mandala/etc.). Also, there are no additional steps needed to get into the room, so the property was pretty wheelchair and walker accessible.
Cons: WELL - there is no WIFI in the rooms. You know, THE PLACE YOU NEED WIFI TO BE. We were in the Junior Suites with the balcony, and there was even a smart TV...but no WiFi?? We called the desk and even spoke to them in person and they either seemed to be confused on whether there should be wifi or flat out told us that there wasn't WiFi available in any of the rooms, only in the lobby and common areas. For those reasons alone, I would not stay here again. Also, the all-inclusive food was not good. Dinner was fine - breakfast was bad. I highly suggest not getting the all-inclusive and eating at the local restaurants (I have a list of suggestions on my blog, there are some tacos nearby that are delicious!).
With a stay at San Marino, you'll be centrally located in Puerto Vallarta, steps from Playa de los Muertos and within a 5-minute drive of Malecon. Featured amenities include express check-in, express check-out, and a 24-hour front desk.
Hotel Hacienda de Vallarta Centro is centrally located in Puerto Vallarta, a 4-minute walk from Cuale Island and 6 minutes by foot from Olas Altas Street. Featured amenities include a computer station, express check-in, and express check-out.

6.3 Good
Pros: Beautiful location. Gorgeous ocean view.
Cons: It’s ageing and is in a state of disrepair. No hot water. Sometimes no water at all. No blankets. Pigeon poop all over the balconies. Electrical plugs were not fastened to the wall. We stayed on the 5th floor and the elevator was impossible. So slow. We ended up hiking the stairs several times daily. The beach is beautiful but there are not many seats and they allow people to come off the street and take the chairs. Frustrating as a paying guest. Upon check in on the first day, they told us we couldn’t have a key as they didn’t have any. We had to wait for someone to take us to our room every time we needed to go up. Once we received the key, it was deactivated every day at some point. So frustrating as you had to just keep going up the stairs. It is a very noisy hotel but granted it was over New Years. The pools were filthy and the water was green. I had to ask for extra pillows about 6 times until they finally brought us some. Perhaps the most frustrating was the front desk. They were quite rude and basically did not care about helping anyone. When we asked why our room was so awful when we had booked a deluxe oceanfront room, she was quick to point out that the hotel does not look like any of the pictures they have online. Housekeeping were lovely. As were the bartenders in the upstairs bar. Would 100% never recommend this hotel to anyone. I am a flight attendant and I travel extensively. I don’t have huge expectations when travelling but this surpassed any of the negative reviewsI had read prior to leaving.

2.0 Mediocre
Pros: Some of the staff were wonderful. I found one of the managers to be quite unaccomodating.
Cons: The property is falling apart. I stayed here 25 years ago a few times and about 10 years ago one time. Since then, it appears there has been absolutely no reinvestment into the property and even though I paid for 2 persons, I was asked to pay an additional 1000 pesos a night when I had my guest here, thus being double charged. I asked them to find the paperwork regarding this when I checked in and it was suspiciously gone. I WILL NEVER STAY AY THIS PROPERTY AGAIN!
9.6 Excellent

1.0 Poor
Pros: The only good thing is rooftop bar was pretty cool during the day and had one exceptional server at bar named Daniel that took great care of us while we drank there .He was great
Cons: Our first night we arrived to the dirtiest sheets I've ever seen in hotel. The night security guard ended up getting us new sheets so could make bed ourselves..the next day told front desk about it and showed them pictures and asked if the would do something to make up for it but they never did ...also they had quite bad additude about it and every time seen them around hotel or at the rooftop bar they would not even look at or acknowledge us..not sure if we were treated bad becouse we were a straight couple at a gay lesbian friendly resort or if they just have that bad of costumer service for everyone...Also they offered us honeymoon decorations when we booked and never came through on that either.. overall worst experience at a hotel we have ever had..

No dresser in my room to unpack-had to live out of my suitcase.
2.8 Mediocre
Pros: the air conditioner
Cons: first room had view of couples bedroom - they liked to keep their curtains open.
after paying for "upgrade" got a smaller room with small balcony. the room had no towels, no light bulbs, no blankets. the hairdryer was so broken it could have electrocuted someone. permanent stains on towels, sheets, blankets and bedspread. no cups or glasses. no coffee maker. shower drain and toilet drain were clogged.
pools were very small and all surrounded by buildings.
highly not recommended.
