About this property

Welcome to Hotel Rivera del Mar

Hotel Rivera del Mar offers a relaxed and down-to-earth stay in Puerto Escondido, housed in a simple whitewashed building just a short walk from the beach and the ADO bus terminal. Its location makes it a convenient base for those looking to explore the nearby surfing spots at Punta Zicatela or enjoy the local coastline, with Playa Zicatela, Carrizalillo, and Coral all within easy reach.

The property features essential amenities including free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and free parking. Guests have access to an outdoor pool and hot tub for relaxation, while the pet-friendly policy and kid-friendly environment cater to families and travelers with animals. Rooms are basic but practical, with some guests noting minimal services and occasional maintenance issues, such as limited ventilation in bathrooms and varying internet quality.

Check-in begins at 3 PM and checkout is at noon, following a straightforward schedule suited to most travel itineraries. While the hotel does not offer fitness facilities, the beachfront location and nearby beaches provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor activity. The atmosphere is quiet and calm, appealing to visitors prioritizing rest and beach access over extensive on-site luxuries.

Review feedback highlights attentive and friendly staff, clean rooms, and good value for the price, although some guests mention that room comfort could be improved. Overall, Hotel Rivera del Mar is well-suited to budget-conscious travelers, especially those interested in spending time outdoors and close to the water, rather than those seeking high-end accommodations.

Excelente servicio a precio accesible , si aceptan mascotas y les dan buena atención hasta arreglaron la camita de mi perro , está cerca de la playa, te dan la opción de cocinar tus propios alimentos ya que cuentan con una pequeña cocineta.

Las habitaciones podrían ser mejores con un poco más de servicios, sin embargo, la ubicación está EXCELENTE, a 5 minutos de la bahía principal, igual a minutos del Chedraui... El servicio es muy bueno, te atienden con amabilidad y honestidad, las zonas para estar tanto en la entrada del hotel hasta la alberca están tranquilas y bonitas

La habitación que me asignaron tenía todo, agua caliente, clima, pero en las habitaciones de arriba escuché que no había agua, ni aire acondicionado. Lo único malo es que los baños no tienen ventilación.

Even though one bed is really uncomfortable, there's no place to hang wet clothes and the internet connection is weak, I didn't have a bad time. People in charge are nice and common areas are comfortable and clean. Keep in mind that I am not a beach person so I can't tell you much in that respect.
