“Hotel Rio Malecon is remarkably situated just off the Malecon, placing you a quick walk from Puerto Vallarta's vibrant boardwalk and the Zona Romantica. The property maintains comfortable rooms, many with balconies, and guests consistently find the on-site Coexist Cafe a true highlight for both food and drinks.
