Historic Hotel

 

 


Located on the Rio Cuale, Garlands del Rio hotel is a majestic honeymoon wonderland. Its unique location makes you feel one with the jungle and babbling river as you kick back in luxuriously appointed, stylish-yet classic rooms with their own distinct Vallartan aesthetic. The small boutique hotel is intimate, and with few other guests you feel like it’s your own private retreat.

Sneak off for a snorkeling trip to see Puerto Vallarta’s stunning undersea wonders, or explore the land like an ancient queen and king on a horseback-riding tour. The heart of Puerto Vallarta awaits with its shopping, restuarants, and chic galleries, giving you a wealth of date night options in between sweet days on the beach and exploring all the lush treasures inland. When you’re back at Garlands del Rio, the romance and relaxation come as sweet and easy as the light Mexican breeze.
