The room and staff were good. The only negative was loud bands playing on both sides of the hotel. The reviews say it’s not that bad but that is a lie. Live bands from Wayos go past midnight and I don’t know what bar on the other side had music at the same time but it was impossible to sleep. You can clearly hear the song and talking from the microphone like the band was on our porch

Fantastic! The accommodations are perfect – exactly the rustic and peaceful setting I was hoping for. The only minor issue was the excessive noise from the beach club on Saturday night, but thankfully, it quieted down around 10 pm.

All the staff at Hotel Del Rio are very kind, helpful and understanding. Gricele went out of her way to set up an accommodation for me and I was very grateful for her. I highly recommend this place as it is very close to everything. It is located right on the water, steps away from downtown and main shopping center.

I have been coming to San Pedro for 15 years. I usually stay up north but because of flight delays I decided to stay in town. Hotel Del Rio was a great option. If you are wanting the modern resort experience this isn’t it. But if simple clean comfortable rooms and great staff is your things then this is the place for you.

Good location, close to main city and restaurants. Excellent staff and very kind. They cleaned room everyday and were so helpful. Room is however average for the price. Having no AC was s big deal for our family as it got very hot. Bathroom was extremely small ans very difficult to move around for a full grown adult.
The location however is perfect if you can overlook some of the flaws

This hotel is perfect for us, except for the nightly noise coming from the beach bar, Wayos, almost directly across the road from Hotel Del Rio. The noise starts around 8 PM every night and doesn't end until midnight or after.
We stayed in the Cabana Casita which is a single, hut style room made of natural materials. The room is clean but sparse with a regular sized bed, one night stand table and a couple of built in shelves. It has a mini fridge, and you can ask for a coffee maker if it's not already in the room. The bathroom is small but usable and clean.
The location is great if you don't mind walking a few blocks to the main town center area. Optionally you can rent a golf cart and drive. We prefer to walk the beach towards town. They have a dock with chairs and a limited swimming area close by. Restaurant options are close, just down the beach from the hotel.
I think that most adventurous travelers will find this a great little gem of a hotel and enjoy their stay. The hotel staff are amazing people! On the other hand, if you're more used to 4 star hotels, you may find this place a bit on the too rustic side.
