Beautiful comfortable boutique hotel in a very peaceful setting in the Romantic zone of Puerto Vallarta.
This hotel and a very nice courttyard type layout. The location is really good, right in the heart of the tourist area, only a few short blocks to the beach and malecon.

Safe area. Great staff. Great location. Hotel is older and a sound travels a little more than a newer hotel. Lots and lots of dining, grocery/fruit stores. Great walking areas nearby.
This older and beautiful hotel sits in the heart of Old Town so is central to many fine restaurants and great shopping. The manager, Martha, is amazing. She is knowledgeable of the area and professional at all times with a warmness that we very much appreciated. The pool area along the river were wonderful! All in all a lovely few days spent there!
Garlands del Rio is a charming boutique hotel. It is their people that stand out and keep people coming back. Martha, Rico and Ivan are all exceptional.
The hotel itself is very nice, clean and convenient to everything in the Zona Romantica. We were there during the cartel violence and the hotel staff kept us safe and secure. They did their best under extremely difficult situations.
We definitely will return and visit them again.
The staff at Garlands del Rio are outstanding. Martha and Rigo were particularly great and helpful! The rooms are beautiful and embody Mexican culture. The hotel was immaculate and very welcoming.
The staff was extremely helpful, with good advice and quick, responsive assistance in all matters. The room and all common areas were large, unique and colorful. A fantastic place to stay.

Staff was kind and helpful, cool eclectic architecture and interior
Very kind staff, easy check-in, room was ready on time. Very nice room, loved the common areas, the pool and hot tub were all very nice. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Also in a very quiet area but walking distance to all the shopping and foods.
Friendly staff. Convenient location in Zona Romantica. Enjoyed the character of buildings, decor and access to sister properties (roof top pool & beachside rests). Martha was extremely kind & helpful, as were all front desk staff. Unexpected bonus was access to a shared guest kitchen and dining area. Enjoyed cool breeze and shaded side River front room. Peaceful. Despite being in the heart of fun celebrations!!! ♥️✨👍
Staff was exceptional and the hotel has such charm - absolutely gorgeous. The pool area was so relaxing and lush.
Our room was on the main floor and not as nice as some of the other rooms in the photos but we were only there for one night. We would totally stay there again and upgrade to another suite.
A hidden gem in Zona Romantica ❤️
