I love this boutique hotel, my room and view was stunning. Only one thing i can add the breakfast menu could be improved. Food was just ok, there is better restaurants with more authentic food for breakfast in Puerto Vallarta. View of breakfast area was amazing as well.

This was a great find. It's a small place with a few rooms on each floor. The pool and bar on the 3rd floor are a wonderful escape on a hot day. The breakfast in the morning was a nice way to start the day. The staff are friendly and there's even a cat! There's parking right in front but it's also in a very walkable area. Lots of good restaurants nearby. The room with a balcony looking at the river was great. Lots to see going on down there. The river could be a bit loud if you had the sliding door open at night, but otherwise not an issue at all. My only real complaint was that they allow smoking (outside-as do many other places) so it drifts up from the balcony below you as it did for us. It was only for a couple days but did find we would have to retreat inside for a bit when that happened. Would happily return again if we're ever back in that part of the world. And if you're looking for a place with a wonderful resident cat, this is the place (and also take a walk over to the island nearby and meet those cats too!)

Felt right at home. We love the intimacy and local embeddedness and aesthetic of boutique hotels but recognize the risk of not sticking with a trusted brand. Rivera Del Rio delivered. It's beautiful and has so many rich details, including the resident cats Elizabeth (the Queen) and Francisco. Live it.

Great boutique hotel and wonderful, welcoming staff. I highly recommend this place. Yes, it’s a little off the beaten path compared to hotels closer to the beach, but it’s really not far at all from anything in the Zona Romantica, and the soothing sound of the river is worth every additional step.
