We have been coming here for ten years, and the experience keeps getting better. The family that owns this property is diligent about putting income back into maintenance and steady improvements. Suites of one or two bedrooms are available and the staff, housekeeping and front desk, are a joy. English is not their strongest suit, but we all manage with... More

I love this place. I have stayed here for 2 Decembers in a row (a week at a time) and am coming back for more next year. The price is UNBEATABLE for an entire apartment (bedroom, kitchen, balcony, dining table) with the best location in PVR in my opinion - right in the middle of the city by the rio... More

this is our third trip to PVR and our third stay at Hotel Encino/Suites Del Rio. However, this is the first time we used the suites which were wonderful to have a place separate from the bedroom. It was nice to make coffee and sit on the balcony watching birds and the people. Everyone goes out of their way to... More

My husband and I were looking for a hotel where we would be immersed in Puerto Vallarta, not tucked away in a cozy chain hotel outside the city, and Plaza del Rio was perfect. It is located adjacent to Rio Cuale and the flea markets, perfect for trinket shopping. It is also about two blocks to the beach and boardwalk/Malecon.... More

The location could not have been better. Walk to everything and buses to beyond a short walk away. The suite was roomy and clean. The bed was very hard, as are most in PV. Good water pressure and temperature, all the appliances worked fine, no AC but the ceiling fans were quiet enough for us. Our room on the 3rd... More
