We've stayed in a lot of places in PV (resorts and hotels) and have found the usual things everyone whines About (hard beds, crappy a/c etc) This hotel surprised us with an awesome location, cleanliness, excellent a/c, attentive staff. Rooms are quiet with triple pane glass so you can sit outside and enjoy the street noise (quite comical at times)... More

After a disappointing stay at another hotel, we booked into the Rio Malecon for the last couple of dyas of our trip, based on the recommendation of our friend. For a very good price, we received a good room. It appears they are renovating, as our friends' room included a pillow-top bed (ours was "Mexican firm", but passable) and a... More

Pros: ideal location, COLD pool is very refreshing, friendly staff, great food in the cafe downstairs, rooms are nice (some better than others), reasonably priced. Cons: no place to sunbathe, beds are small, noisy at night, kitchenettes are poorly equipped, no elevator. More

It is minus thirty degrees here in Calgary today and we are counting the days until our third stay at the Hotel Rio Malecón. Last year we were there for six weeks starting mid January, 2011. Again our stay was as pleasant as the first. What had not changed was the cleanliness of the facility and the friendly, attentive staff.... More

This is a great hotel choice for right on the malecon. The price is very cheap and there is a coffee shop built in to the hotel with free wifi. More

Simple, across the street to the Malacon, newly remodled, decent restaurant, good beds with good bedding (hard to find in a budget hotel... More

I first stayed at this hotel in 1977 (and at least 4 more times thru the next decade) when Ramon worked at the front desk and Victor Manuel was playing guitar in the Bar Navigante - where the CoExist restaurant is now. ( I used to take the guitar and also play and sing!) I was in my 20s and... More

The first and foremost thing I'd like to comment on is that this hotel is in a GREAT location. Just two minutes away, across one busy street and voila....your there on the Malecon beach sea wall.For a kilometer (or two) in either direction you will be walking past shops, resteraunts and tourist attractions on one side and an ocean view...

We stayed here for a couple days with our kids. The place was nice and well kept up. They have a good restaurant. They are 1 block away from the Malecon. They have a nice pool and a business center with internet if you need it. The rooms have a tv and fridge in them. Basic but nice and a... More
