Barato excelente ubicación pero si no hubieran bichos en la cama hubiera estado genial, si solo quieres bañarte y guardar tus cosas y traes una sabana y tolla extra excelente. Pero para descansar y pasar la noche no

We didn't stay here but just commenting that this is NOT the original Hotel Riviera del Pacifico. Most of the pictures are of that building which is now the Centro Cultural Riviera, which is at Rotario and Cardenas.

I took a tour of this beautiful historical structure of Riviera del Pacifico...a lot was learned and to know its the place of the original margarita, we also had a chance to try samples...really good. The structure itself is well preserved and clean, as it appears activities and events takes place here as well...for when we were there 2 separate wedding photo shoots was taking place. The gardens are maintained well and surrounding areas really nice.

Aunque ya no opera como hotel, su legado perdura en un complejo que alberga historia, arte, gastronomía y eventos. Arquitectura y diseño: Estilo colonial californiano: Su diseño arquitectónico, caracterizado por líneas sencillas y amplios espacios, evoca la elegancia de una época pasada. Jardines exuberantes: Los extensos jardines, cuidadosamente diseñados, ofrecen un oasis de tranquilidad y belleza natural. Materiales nobles: La construcción original empleó materiales de alta calidad, como maderas traídas de España y Cuba, lo que le confiere una sensación de solidez y durabilidad.
