This is MY FAVORITE Puerto Vallarta Hotel. It is visually stunning inside. Everywhere you look... Magical and Whimsical!" the article says.

Rivera del Rio is a sumptuous Mexican bed and breakfast villa, nestled on the verdant banks of the Rio Cuale and the last remaining dirt road in La Zona Romantica. Here, amidst a primitive elegance, one steps back through the ages where Old Town Puerto Vallarta intertwines with the exquisite décor of the legendary "Silver" Maria Cortez.

Hailed by Casas & Gente Magazine as one of the world's top architectural lady designers, N.Y Interior designer Billy Baldwin called her eclectic abode "the house of dreams" – a true Boutique Hotel.

Stars from all over the globe have crossed her threshold; from Raquel Welch to the jewel fashion icon Ken Lane. Her flowing manta curtains captured not only the movie cameras of Tony Scott but countless films and set locations for spreads in fashion magazines like Vogue and Italian Elle. John Crocus labeled lasting acquaintances "Silver," and fashion icon Perry Ellis, the "Luxury Lovers."

Each of Rivera del Rio's newly remodeled and carefully crafted apartment is decorated with heavenly marbled fireplaces, Victorian leopard-claw tubs, and crispy cold air conditioners that will acclimate you to Vallarta's heavenly temperatures. Prices range from $80-$150 USD/night for smaller rooms, up to $170-$260 for the larger suites.
