We stayed at the Hotel Rio Malecon for 2 nights, April 1 & 2nd 2026. The front desk staff was excellent, very helpful and polite. Our room was dated, but very clean. Heads up there is no elevator. it was great having the small kitchenette, I had brought coffee, so we could have coffee in the room. We ate in the restaurant a few times, food was very good, service was excellent. The location and amenities around the hotel are great & it is only a short block to the beach & malecon. Just a small walk from the walking bridge.
