"Great accommodations!!! Freshly remodeled with all new kitchen and bathrooms. Everything that you could possibly need was present in our unit. Very conveniently located with restaurants, bakeries and stores minutes away. Less than a 10-minute walk to the beach. Loved this place!"
"I liked everything about it - the design, the location, my room looking right over the River Cuale, good restaurants in the neighbourhood and at the end of the day, a wonderful soak in the jacuzzi! "

Emperador Vallarta Beachfront Hotel and Suites
10/10 Excellent
"This is my third time staying at El Emperador and it’s been great. The manager Gervacio and the staff are amazing. You’re literally 30 feet from the beach and walking distance from a ton of restaurants & bars. If you stay there get a junior suite or higher as those have excellent views and are more spacious."
"The resort and staff were very professional and friendly and very helpful. The location was very convenient with various restaurants, spa and sights to see within walking distance. My only requests is for the front desk to have an accessible First aid kit. Nothing serious, but I needed an alcohol wipe and bandage for my foot. I step on a small sharp rock while inthe beach at the resort. Still 5 stars!!"
"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!"
"There were lots of pool tiles inside the pool that were either missing or loose both on the floor of the pool and surrounding the inside of the pool. The larger tiles were also extremely dirty and it felt like the pool could need a really good clean, although the water did appear to be clean and was a lovely tepid temperature "
"This was my second time staying at Garlands del Río, and it was just as magical as I remembered. I first visited over five years ago and made it a point to find this charming riverside boutique hotel again — even searching through old photos on my phone to relocate it. It was absolutely worth it.
From the moment you step onto the property, there’s a calm and peaceful energy that sets the tone for your stay. The entire place has such a unique character — a blend of vintage charm and artistic touches that make it feel like a home away from home.
The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the peaceful setting by the river creates the perfect atmosphere for rest and reflection. It’s rare to find a place that stays so true to its spirit over time, and Garlands del Río has done just that.
I’ll continue to return whenever I can — it’s a true Puerto Vallarta treasure."
