About this property

Welcome to Suites Plaza Del Rio

Suites Plaza Del Rio offers laid-back apartments featuring balconies in a casual setting ideally suited for visitors seeking a convenient base in downtown Puerto Vallarta. The property includes practical amenities such as an outdoor pool, free Wi-Fi, free parking, air conditioning, laundry service, beach access, and a hot tub, with a focus on family-friendliness rather than luxury. Rooms come with kitchenettes, making longer stays comfortable and self-sufficient, as noted by guests who appreciate the spacious suites and rooftop patios.

Located on Hidalgo Street in the Centro district, the hotel is positioned close to vibrant local attractions.

The iconic Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe church is also within reach, adding cultural interest to the area.

While the location garners praise for its convenience and access to downtown highlights, reviews reflect a practical perspective on the accommodations.

Operating check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out by noon, Suites Plaza Del Rio appeals primarily to explorers and longer-term visitors who value location and practical comforts in Puerto Vallarta’s Centro neighborhood. Its proximity to major transport hubs, including Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport approximately 36 minutes away by car, makes it an accessible option for travelers looking to experience the city’s vibrant atmosphere with family or friends.

Location was perfect to access most all of Los Muertos, The Malecon and the Isla Cuale. Also quick walking to downtown Centro. Beds were really hard. Plenty of available drinkable water. Rooms have kitchenette. Would be great for a long stay. But the beds and the street noise can be loud

I stayed here for about two weeks and very much enjoyed my stay. The two bedroom suite I was upgraded to (#503) was very large and had everything I needed. It had a large private balcony, which is a must for me. I enjoy my first morning coffee sitting outside in the sun. The suite's kitchen had everything necessary. Keep in mind that this is not a luxury hotel, nor is it priced like one. The furnishings are spare and modest. The king size platform bed was pretty hard, as there is a good mattress, but no box springs. One of the two showers had very little hot water flow, so I used the one in the second bathroom, which was really good. The maids do a wonderful job, everything was always spotless. I don't normally use air conditioning, but did briefly turned it on and have to say that it smelled pretty bad, so I simply didn't use it. This may be a problem from lack of use, as it was never really hot enough to need it. The WiFi worked good most of my stay, but quit working the last couple days for some unknown reason. For the money, even with the few drawbacks I mentioned, you simply can't beat the value and location. I'm sure I'll stay here again.

a simple, traditional, reasonably priced hotel with clean, spacious rooms. the bedrooms are air conditioned. every room i have stayed in is actually more of an apartment, with a full furnished kitchen, and living room/dining room area. this stay, i upgraded to an end of building room, with a balcony overlooking Rio Caule, because i love sitting out of a morning and watching the wildlife. there is a great rooftop patio, with a nice, clean pool. definitely one of my main go-to(s), for stays in PV!!

The location is excellent! We had a lower level spacious suite with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and will return. The staff was very friendly and made us feel so good staying there. It's right by the Rio Cuale, a big craft market area, and close to the main cathedral Our Lady of Guadalupe

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Suites Plaza Del Rio. This is our second stay here! Two years ago, we spent 8 days. This time, it was 15 and we loved celebrating Dia de Los Muertos! It is very convenient to everything and only two blocks from the Malecon. We are big walkers/hikers, so we had a great time exploring all over the Romantic zone and El Centro! The staff is wonderful. The place is kept exceptionally clean. We love being able to go to the local markets, fruteria, pananderia, mariscos, etc. and make our own food in addition to eating at all the wonderful restaurants in PV!

I stayed 8th-15th Oct and was pleasantly surprised with the comfort and service. During Hurricane Lidia the electricity and TV was off, but it was good that had taps for drinking water on every floor. Will be back again in future.

My family and I stayed here, I really liked the kitchen, there was hot water the shower bathroom was clean, big room and close to many places. The reason I dont give it a 5 star, is becuase the refused to give us our deposit when my baby spilled a little water on a cushin. Other then that I spent a good time with my family.
