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!

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.

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

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!
