Hotel Rio Malecon is a great hotel! Friendly staff and an excellent restaurant, Coexist Bistro (Italian/Mexican). The property itself is a little dated but the rooms are very clean, the beds are comfy and the air conditioning works great! There is a unique pool and lounge area in the courtyard too! You can't beat the location right on the malecon with tons to do and see all within walking distance. See you soon!

The staff was amazing, kind, friendly and patient. It's a simple hotel but it's right where you want to be near the beach, Malecon and zona romantic. Ac seemed to be leaking in the ceiling and room was musty at the end of the week.

What a great spot to find. Dog friendly, clean, and safe. Quick walk to ZR. Insider tip, ask for a room away from the main road. Also, be aware you can’t leave your dog in the room. Overall, this doesn’t take away from my trip.

This was more than we expected with a wonderful location only a few meters from the Malecon with everything one could need an easy walk away. The facility is a little tired as it was built in 1958 but a great example of true Mexico. The staff were wonderful with a very good restaurant on site that also was excellent. We will definitely recommend as we were surprised at how quiet our room was on the side street. Front facing rooms would be noisy. We would certainly come again if we needed a short term place to stay in PV. Thanks to all that made this a pleasant surprise.
