Beautiful hotel with eclectic style, 2 pools, a giant hot tub and great staff. A short walk to many restaurants, the beach and shopping. Javier at the front desk gave us great suggestions and made sure we were happy with our stay. Quite a view from our 5th floor room! We will definitely stay there again.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. This boutique hotel had a retro motif with a lot of interesting detail. The breakfasts were in line with my diet. This hotel is pet friendly and in a good area for walking dogs along the riverside. I found the Gabriella room to be a little cramped with the king size bed.

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!

This property was so stunning and very clean. We enjoyed their rooftop pool, which has a great view and we felt our room was nice and comfortable. Staff were warm and welcoming and the resident cats were adorable. My only complaint is that was very noisy at night as the locals that live next to the hotel had many barking dogs and they would bark very late at night and throughout odd times in the morning. I’d definitely bring earplugs. Other than that I would definitely stay here again.

If you are looking for boutique, don't look any further. A quaint, unique hotel just 4-5 blocks from the beach. Amazing views/sunsets from the rooftop pool. Jesus, the bartender, is an absolute gem! Very kind, accommodating and a wealth of information. Restaurants nearby to mention, cause if you don't go, you are missing out...Mi Cafe for breakfast (cash only), Tacos Sonorita Olas Atlas for spectacular tacos (cash only), Pipi's is yummy and fun with some local entertainment. All within walking distance.

unique fun + well priced! a favorite

Riviera Del Rio was the perfect place to stay. The photos do not do the hotel justice it's unique in a town full of modern western decorated airbnbs and all inclusive resorts with identical rooms. this hotel has personality. The staff felt like long lost friends Rigo at the front and the fabulous Jesus at the rooftop pool bar give a warm fun infectious flair. Jesus makes the best guacamole right in front of you with fresh ingredients. The rooftop infinity pool heated + 24hrs offers a breathtaking view no matter the time of day. Have breakfast in another unique room or pay a little extra to have it as room service. We stayed in 3 different rooms during our stay Medusa and Rasputin were perfect with balconies. Mariposa had an enormous tub. the second pool and hot tub were nice but we spent a majority of time at the rooftop with Jesus and a margarita. Well priced and enchanting we won't stay anywhere else when we return.
