Stayed 2 days in the hotel last month. Location was great! Walking distance to everywhere I wanted to go. Let me have my room half and hour earlier. Beds were a little hard but not to bad. A/C worked great. Had a room facing the street but noise was no problem. Staff was great and friendly. Will for sure stay... more

My only real complaint was the lumpy little bed, the fridge was a little old, and pool small. But we had a wonderfull week there. It's clean , many updates, loved their bar / restaurant. Whole staff was pleasant and spoke english well... For budget minded travelers as ourselves w/ the kitchenette , Oxxo across the street, the delicious moderate... more

We stayed at Hotel Rio for a couple of nights, and it was exactly what we were looking for. The Hotel is in the perfect location- a couple blocks from the ocean, right in the old part of Puerto Vallarta, and near lots of shops, restaurants, and night life. We walked everywhere right from the hotel. Our room had a... more

This resort was was fun filled with a beautiful resort and staff. The food was very good, no one got sick. The weather was priceless, mid 80's. The drinks were not top shelf so you had to have them pour a little extra. The shows were great. The staff was so friendly. We travel with young children and they had... more

We chose the Hotel Rio based on the reviews and we were not disappointed. The accomodations were no-frills, but there were no problems. Our room faced the main street but was very quiet, due to the sound-proof windows. There was plenty of hot water. The a/c worked great. The room was kept clean and tidy every day. The staff were... more

I chose this hotel due to the reviews and the hotel has a great location. The restaurant onsite is also very good with great prices. This is NOT a hotel for anyone with a disability and cannot climb stairs as I had almost 40 to get to my room. But then again almost all of Puerta Vallarta is the same.... more

Hi! Just got back from a couple of fantastic weeks in PV! Lots & lots of activities and shopping. Of course we all ate & drank way too much! Everybody knows the big name places, but try 'Titionos' on Libertad for some great seafood. Also 'Chuyins' just down Libertad a few doors for great breakfasts. One of the highlights of... more

Three of us overnighted here as we had flights the following day and wanted to be able to experience Puerto Vallarta after spending time outside the city. The hotel is no frills but was very clean, the staff was wonderful, and they are located in the heart of the city. We had an average room on the 1st floor but... more
