Casa Río Cuale and River Retreat

Maria was lovely cooking us scrambled eggs etc There is a guest fridge available for keeping milk etc in and a kettle to make tea.

Some better seating by the river.. it's such a beautiful spot for relaxing.

prefect get away, the river flow at night is so amazing & sounds of nature, everything was clean & comfortable.

I can not think of a thing, everything was great.

The tranquility of hearing A running River will definitely bring me back to visit such a special place.

Everything was great!!

The location is beautiful, a quiet village away from tourists surrounded by nature and the river. The roar of the river is so soothing. Hosts are great and i enjoyed breakfast.

The rooms face the river and the roar of the water completely conceals any limited traffic noise from the road on the other side. You would never know there was a road there. It makes it feel like wilderness, which I loved. Martha who cleans is lovely. Limited English, but she’ll do anything to help you. I’m working on my Spanish all the time. Mario, whose family owns the place speaks a lot more English and he’s eager to help. I loved that there was a shared kitchen. Just don’t expect to cook your breakfast at the same time that Marta is preparing paid breakfast for others. It’s a small place, but there’s no crowding. There’s a lovely place to sit and a great sand-filled terrace down by the river to lounge in, again concealing any sound or site of the road up above, on the other side of the Casa. Fresh air and starry skies at night. Finally to stay somewhere in Mexico where it’s dark and peaceful at night and not lit up by neon!! It feels like you’re in a different world, but only a 15 minute ride up the canyon with a bus or Uber or taxi. It’s really only a couple miles from town. It’s very simple accommodations, so don’t expect any luxury. But it’s clean and friendly, Has decent mattresses and checks all the important boxes. On weekend mornings there’s a fellow who was selling fresh ceviche, both shrimp and fish kinds, and tortillas, out in front of a little Tienda about 50 or 100 m upriver from the Casa. he keeps it safely on ice in a cooler and it was heavenly delicious. I had one tortilla piled with each kind and the whole plate that filled me up was only 59 pesos. The showers were reasonable, with enough hot water, but water is getting more and more precious, so please turn it off everywhere when it’s not essential. Just a 10 or 15 minute walk down stream, back toward town, is a restaurant with an enormous patio called something like Rio BBQ, though their menu has far more than just barbecue, including salads.

It was minor, but the buses quit running up the canyon about 8 PM or so. Don’t believe anyone in PV who gives you an exact cut off time. it’s easier to get an Uber or taxi going up than it is to get one going down, but I had the impression that the taxis hang around at that barbecue restaurant I was talking about. I never went without transportation. One of the toilets was backing up, so be sure you throw your toilet paper in the trashcan, and don’t ever flush it. It’s common practice in a lot of places.
