Disliked: Cleanliness
We were very disappointed in our room. I booked a “superior” room, but didn’t feel it was superior at all. We had to switch rooms as the first room we were in was dirty, noisy and dreary. The second room was a bit better. Unfortunately, I would not recommend staying at this hotel. Getting a lounge by the pool was impossible unless you were down there by 7:00 am. The only plus was the area. Lots of lovely restaurants.

The room was basic but very clean. Staff very courteous. The pool area and beach were lovely. We didn’t go the all inclusive route. We had 3 breakfasts at the hotel - good buffet. Watch out for the pigeons in the oats and granola. Overall a nice place to stay

The Maid was fantastic. Hotel staff was actively cleaning and staff was always around. Very safe area. Food was good in Hotel. Can walk out in the streets and has everything you need within 2-3 blocks. Street Venders, Shopping, Laundry, Pharmacy, Corner store, Pizza, Burgers, Ice Cream etc all in a 3 block radius. Beach is good but not an easy swim trying to get out of water at times. Some areas of beach have an abundance of rocks. Walking the Malacon is very safe and great for venders and shops. Los Arcos is safe for Famlies and Senior Couples. If you are Single and Straight and looking to go out and have a good time this area might not be for you to meet someone as it is predominately a Gay area. All in all Hotel was a good spot.

Great location close to good restaurants. It has a great pool and restaurants. The rooms are soooo old and dated. The showers are short so if you're over 5'10 you'll have to suck, has some issues with the shower water pressure cutting in and out. There was some noise from clubs nearby but they stopped around 11

This hotel is a gem in the heart of Puerto Vallarta, offering the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and stunning views. The location is ideal—just steps from local attractions—while still feeling like a relaxing escape. The amenities make the stay even better, with a bar pool, heated hot tub, and friendly, attentive staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The rooftop restaurant is a must-visit, where you can dine at a table set in a pool while enjoying breathtaking views. If you prefer the beach, the hotel provides lounge chairs right on the sand for a perfect day by the ocean. For a memorable and relaxing stay in Puerto Vallarta, this hotel is an excellent choice!

Mother daughter getaway

We had a great getaway at Playa Los Arcos. The style of the hotel is beautiful and makes you feel like you’ve escaped. Our room was not large but it was very comfortable. Having the sink separate from the rest of the bathroom was nice for getting ready. The hotel is situated right in the heart of downtown with a nice piece of beachfront. It was easy to walk everywhere and very safe. We met so many people who come to the hotel year after year and we know why. The size of the hotel is on the smaller side but felt boutique-ey. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our meals at the buffet. It was quite small if you are used to big resorts but there was always something yummy, new and fresh. We ate at the a la carte restaurant one evening and had a lovely dinner. One small thing I would suggest to make the rooms more comfortable would be to add a full length mirror in each room. Our room backed onto the street and was a bit noisy in the evening but it always stopped around 11 and didn’t cause us any issues.
