Boutique hotel overlooking Rio Cuale in Old Town Puerto Vallarta
Amenities
Hotel Boutique Rivera Del Rio offers exclusive use of a wholly purified water system across the property. Guests have access to two outdoor pools, including a year-round heated infinity pool on the rooftop with a pool bar and panoramic city views. The hotel also provides a hot tub, spa/wellness packages, and sun loungers with umbrellas for relaxation.
Rooms
Each room is individually decorated with antique furniture and artistic murals inspired by historical Mexican architecture. The Candelaria Suite includes a kitchenette, private terrace, and a separate living area with a queen day bed. Some rooms overlook the Rio Cuale and feature balconies, while all offer cable TV, air conditioning, and private bathrooms.
Location
The hotel is situated a 15-minute walk from Los Muertos Beach and within 500 meters of bars and restaurants in Old Town. El Malecón promenade and the Zona Romántica are also within walking distance, offering cultural landmarks and nightlife. The property sits on a quiet side street along the Rio Cuale, providing a peaceful escape from the city noise.
Dining
Breakfast costs 12 USD and includes made-to-order dishes served in a dining room decorated with original art. Nightly musical performances take place at the on-site Starlight Cabaret, with a roster of local talent. The rooftop pool bar serves drinks and guacamole prepared by bartender Jesus, and happy hour specials are offered daily.
Wellness & Pet-Friendly
Massage services, including couples massages on a private balcony, are available through spa/wellness packages. The hotel accommodates dog travelers in designated pet-friendly rooms with easy access to outdoor areas. Guests can use the rooftop hot tub and heated infinity pool, both open 24 hours, for year-round relaxation.

“I find this boutique hotel truly stands out, with its artistic interior inspired by Manuel Lepe and purified water system. Its location in Old Town places guests steps away from both the beach and vibrant nightlife. This is an intimate experience, where you can enjoy personalized service.”
