Hotel Rio Malecon

I had an excellent 'old time' Mexico experience. The Hotel Rio Malacone has been here a long time and is kept in very good condition. Very amiable staff. My room had just been plastered in a colorful, shabby-chic style I liked and was in excellent condition, with an outstanding, huge mattress and high quality sheets. The air con is very good, and the kitchenette makes cooking at home easy and saved me a lot of $$ as restaurants are expensive this year. Highly recommend this hotel.

You have to go to the lobby bar to get purified water and ice, but the staff there are very friendly, and the water is exceptionally good.

Excellent food at the restaurant. I ate there several times. I mostly had very good service and over the week got to know some of the great people who worked there.

One (and only one) staff member of the restaurant was actually rude. He followed me to my room after lunch one day to accuse me of not paying and demanding I sign something, when I thought I had (I signed what was given to me and thought I was signing it to my room, but he said I didn't do it right). I'd eaten there several times already and paid every time. I was a guest at the hotel, I wasn't going to run away! I'm not sure why he thought it was a good idea to come after me like that. Rude and actually a little bit scary, TBH

The location was great and you were able to walk to many restaurants and bars. It was 1 block from the beach, and the staff was super friendly. Would recommend.

The beds were a little on the hard side for me. I also did not see any parking on the property.
