This place is a real gem. A place you return to because it exists. I called it the "garden house" because there are plants throughout, and at times you walk through the house and certain areas are open to the outdoors. The living room has a small soaking pool in one area, and I am told that in the rainy... More

If you want an authentic Mexican villa in the heart of PV to call home while on vacation, Rivera del Rio is the best place to stay. Located right on the Rio Cuale, with such uniquely designed rooms and various options, you can't go wrong, I stayed in the Alejandro suite, located on the top of the villa. It had... More

Fantastic. Friendly efficient staff, walking distance from beach and buzzing nightlife yet just removed enough to find tranquility. Rooms are huge and luxurious, one feels like you're in opulence that was only possible in bygone eras yet very affordable. Highly recommended for first timers or regulars to puerto Vallarta

A good hotel though is still key to success for a great vacation. This was my second trip to Mexico and I picked definitely one of the best hotels in the area. The location of the hotel is... More

Look no further! Custom breakfast, softest sheets, luxurious decor, high touch service....especially loved the pool area- alabaster jacuzzi for God's sake! Can't recommend highly enough! Alex was an invaluable source of info for nightlife and gnosh.

I was living in Puerto Vallarta for four months and before I left I decide to spoil myself at a great boutique hotel. I stayed at the hotel for a week and I tried two different styles of hotel rooms. The hotel rooms are amazing and the beds are the comfiest I have ever slept on. All the rooms there... More
