The staff was great. Any issues that come up they are more than happy to help solve the issue. The bar 2 x 1 was really good. They had a night with dances and that was fun. If you would like a luxury room then upgrade to the 4th floor. The room is luxurious and worth the upgrade.

Nancy United States of America

The hotel was in the perfect location. It's right next to the beach in Zone Romantica which is where everything we wanted to check out was located. Plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, etc nearby.

Jeffery United States of America

The location was amazing right on the beach and close to lots of restaurants close by to walk to

Karen Canada

Staff was friendly and help you bring your luggage to your room and make sure that the room amenities are working. They were also able to securely accommodate my luggage after checking out. There are multiple pools and a hot tub that are open until 10PM which is nice after a long day. The place was clean and comfortable. The bed and pillows were very comfy, one of the best pillows I've had at a hotel where it was medium firm.

Monica United States of America

Playa Los Arcos was perfect for what we wanted. We were looking for a family hotel with a pool and beach access. The location was great, the room was sufficient. I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the minifridge. Yes the rooms are dated and there is a bit of a must smell but that is was you are going to get with this kind of deal. The AC was cold. Daily maid service was awesome. I was surprised by the quality of the breakfast and dinner buffet. Any buffet that has made -to-order stations is a huge plus. The view from the dining area is excellent. We loved the beach service. The guy who handled the umbrellas, chairs, and towels was excellent and you can get food and beverage service.

This was my 3rd stay and I have another stay booked later this year. Excellent pool. Esteban at the pool provided amazing service.

Jeremy United States of America

Enjoyed our stay. Entire Hotel staff was GREAT! Our room had a balcony with seats and a nice view also clean and comfortable. Pools & beach service & access was a plus.

Oscar United States of America

A comfortable hotel if your looking to stay in Puerto Vallarta. A family friendly hotel with a good amount of younger and older couples. Exciting events held on the weekend (traditional dancing). Exceptional pools as well! We felt very safe the whole time there.
