We were gets so warmly as soon as we got in. The hotel is just a gem of a place. Classic beauty and the room to fully spread out comfortably. We stayed in the Candelaria Suite which boasted it's private outdoor terrace, literally a few feet from the pool. I can't explain how luxurious it felt to just nest with my husband in the most confien king size bed and wake up to the enormous windows with a beautiful view of the jungle mountains. Our goal is now to come back for a visit until we stay in all the suites. Do yourself a favor and stay here. You'll soon be addicted.

This place exceeds expectations with ambience, beauty and luxury. A true oasis amidst the gorgeous Zona Romantica neighbourhood. I feel like I was in awe every time I turned a corner.

Very funky hotel. We stayed in the Gabriella room (one of the generic King bed rooms) and loved it. Our view from our balcony was awesome!! We took full advantage of the pools and got a few delicious Pina coladas from bartender upstairs. Highly recommend watching the sunset from the rooftop pool. Hotel staff was all very helpful and kind and answered any questions we had. The room had very fast working AC, the shower in the washroom had hot water and a luxurious showerhead. They also provided nice bathrobes in our room which was a nice bonus. The location of the hotel was also great, I would take a walk on the Isla since you’re right beside it and see all the cats. It’s also a quick walk to soo many awesome places in Zona Romantica.

Property cares for two cats named Elizabeth and Francesca. Both are lovely and lay around in the lobby. Very heart warming to see. Quiet street. You can hear music from the island at night also!!

Everything was perfect, location, room and breakfast. The only problem were the half dozen very drunk late forties early fifties people at the pool on the roof who ruined a perfect day with a perfect sunset! I feel for the barman who had to deal with them all afternoon.

This special place is in an ideal location. Walking distance to everything in the central and romantic zones and far enough from the busy area for a quiet retreat. The rooms have views of the jungle and along the walk along the river just across the street you can find parrots, iguanas and occasionally a crocodile. Staff are friendly and responsive and rooms are spacious and quiet. We had a wonderful time here and with all we did in beautiful Puerto Vallarta.

WARNING

The hotel is located in a quiet side street, trees and birds and a dry river in front.
Interior design is special and quaint; good rooms, good brkfst.
Javier, in charge of service, is welcoming and very helpful.

Why the warning?
Bcs u might get stranded in the shower without water.
Why go into detail?
Bcs it demonstrates attitude.
Why is it imprtnt?
Bcs my impression is the prblm is permanent.

At my first shower (23:00): pressure started weak; then water stopped all together; after 2 minutes, almost drying myself with soap on, burst of strong pressure; then trickle again.

In the morning I talked with the manager; she wasn't surprised, which says a lot.
She said they will try to fix it.

When I asked in the afternoon, she said prblm was fixed but cannot gurantee it won't return (duh?).
I took her offer to relocate to a room on the other side of the hotel.

Javier came to help me move. Before leaving the room we tried the shower; same trickle.
He agreed with me the prblm wasn't fixed, and said other rooms on that side had the same prblm.

During the whole process no one apologized or said \"I m sorry\".

Upon checkout, the manager told me not to pay 12 usd for one of my brkfsts. When I asked why, she said \"bcs of water prblm\".
Even then she couldn't utter the word \"sorry\".

Recommendation: Check ahead.

PS
In both rooms, despite dfrnt glass doors, shower water creats a pool over a quarter of bathroom floor.

The staff, particularly Javier, Reuben and Ivan were all so friendly and passionate about making the hotel inviting and fun. I love the housecats (Francesca and Elizabeth), the decor, the comfortable bed, the balcony, the infinity pool on the roof! Some of the best cocktails I had in PV were made by Reuben at the pool bar.

The breakfast was included with the deluxe room and it was delicious! The hotel is located right by the river so you get an incredible view, nice breeze and a front row seat to wildlife (birds, iguanas, geckos, so many dogs and cats). It's also close to everything - restaurants, shopping, chocolatiers, lavandarias, and it's a 15 min walk to the beach. When I come back again to PV I won't stay anywhere else.

We absolutely loved this hotel. Originally, we had booked for one night but ended up loving it so much we stayed for 3 nights! The property and location is so unique and charming. Around every corner is something new to discover. We can’t wait to come back!

Ugh I had such great hopes for this hotel. First things first, if you are a light sleeper, do not book this hotel.

First let's go with the pros
•Close to everything
• Staff was amazing
• Great Pool and Hot Tub
• Kitties! 😻
• Each room is beautiful
• Bed was extremely comfortable

Onto the cons :(
• LOUD. In every sense of the word. The doors slam constantly until 3am by visitors. We visited over Christmas Eve and loud music was played next door until 2:30am. There was also fireworks being set off untill 3am.
• This boutique hotel is located on a road where people drive by an blast music.
• The breakfast was horrible. They cook everything in the microwave. Not worth the $12 at all.
•We stayed in the Korvette suite. It is right next to the \"kitchen\" area. Every morning by 7:15 you can hear them start preparing.

This would have been a great stay if everything hadn't been so loud. At least worn people this is not a quiet and peaceful hotel. The place is aesthetically pleasing but not peaceful in the slightest.

We stayed here for a week in late October. The property is clean and well-maintained. Everything you could want is within walking distance, and other things are an Uber ride away. Jesús was an awesome bartender at the rooftop pool/bar. Javier and Iván took good care of us when we arrived. The rooms are painted in vibrant colors, and the bed was comfortable. The lobby has 2 cats that I loved to see every morning. When we come to Puerto Vallarta again, we’ll make every effort to stay at this hotel. 10/10 property

We stayed in the Carlotta. This is a ground level suite. The set up was perfect for a family. Air conditioning worked amazingly for how hot it was. Our room was always cleaned impeccably and we were provided with fresh linen and towels daily. Only note is you will hear outside noise and noise from above rooms occasionally, however it didn’t bother any of us. Really loved the location! Walkable to many different places for food and drink and to the beach. Easy to catch an uber for further excursions. Would totally recommend and can’t wait to stay in the others suites!

Needs complete remodeling, big apartment but very old. Did not feel comfortable staying there. Not safe for kids because they could fall from the room and stairs. Baby crib from the 80s that no kid could sleep in we were charged for it but they did remove the charge after speaking to them. The staff were nice. They do lock the entrance door so it’s safe to stay there. Big kitchen has everything you need

An absolutely stunning hotel with the most amazing staff! Carolina and Javier are some of the best front desk managers I have ever had the pleasure to stay with! The rooms are spectacular and so unique! The roof top pool with the most personable bartender Jesus made you feel like you were right at home! Breakfast was included in my second stay and was super delicious in an insanely gorgeous room with balcony views. I will stay here over and over again! So grateful and thankful to have found this hidden gem! 5 Stars across the board!

The hotel seemed really unique online. However, the photos made it seem much more clean than it actually was. There were cats in the lobby (great if you're a cat person). The pool seems misrepresented too. It's very small. However, it has a nice small bar there with a friendly bartender. My room was acceptable but required walking up a small, narrow, twisted staircase, which made it difficult to bring items up and down safely. I ate breakfast upstairs one morning (I only had toast, coffee, and fruit). The staff there did not seem very friendly. There's a beautiful river and trail outside, but I did not find it convenient getting around. There was really not a lot of close dining nightlife without taking a walk. I decided to check out two days early because all night there seemed to be a gurgling and knocking sound, almost like water draining from a wash machine. It was so loud that I could not sleep. I spoke to management about it and they said that had never happened before. I was not offered any sort of refund (even partial) for my remaining two days, so I just considered it a loss.

I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Javier at the front desk was amazing, and Jesus at the bar was awesome. Elizabeth, the hotel cat, was adorable as well. The room was so clean and had so much character. We enjoyed the rain shower and beautiful bathroom, in addition to our balcony with stunning views of PV. The couples massage in the room was one of of the best we’ve ever had - highly recommend. The infinity pool and bar was amazing. It was hot when we came so the A/C was wonderful in the room. Everything in Zona Romantica was within a 15 minute walk. We were tucked away by the river which was quaint, but just blocks away from bars and entertainment. We will be back as soon as we can— You MUST stay here!

This hotel has become our favorite in Puerto Vallarta. It’s has the feel of staying at a family member’s house. With an infinity pool that has a great view. All of the staff is outstanding however Javier at the front desk goes above and beyond when it comes to personal service. He quickly notices that my husband and I drink a lot of coffee and arranged to put a coffee maker in our room without us even requesting one. The entire staff shares the same desire to make every guest feel at home. For this reason I will stay in this beautiful hotel every time!

My husband and I stayed at this adorable hotel for 3 nights. We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this hotel. While the hotel boasts beautifully decorated spaces it is the staff at Rivera Del Rio that made this place wonderful. The breakfast staff, the bartender and the woman at front desk and Javier were very attentive and a pleasure to talk to. We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying here again.

Gorgeous hotel built with lots of attention to detail, decorated with tasteful furniture and unusual artwork. Rooms are very spacious and with comfortable mattresses (we stayed in 2 different rooms during our 7 night stay, both had a nice large balcony overlooking the river).
Hotel is located on a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle of Zona Romantica and the Malecon. We did hear barking dogs during some nights, but otherwise it was very peaceful. Lots of amenities: heated infinity pool and a bar on the rooftop with stunning views, jacuzzi
on a different level, plus 2 more pools elsewhere on the property. Front staff was wonderful (thank you, Javier!). The staff all spoke good English and were extremely helpful and friendly.
Breakfast is served in a beautiful dining room located in the original part of the hotel [which used to be a private house], and though relatively simple, it was well prepared. Would love to stay there again!
