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.

Supposed to be Honeymoon, not Nightmare

It was the worst stay My wife and I have EVER experienced! We had reservations for 9 days. We stayed 1 night and left back for home! It may say resort, but it is not! Maybe in 1950. The hotel has not been kept up at all. Our room including the bathroom was maybe 325 sq ft. You couldn't use the toilet without closing door. No water pressure. No room for luggage. Very low light. Holes in curtains. Room was right next to housekeeping. Street adjacent had sirens running all night. Neighborhood was EXTREMELY sketchy. Drunk & disorderly outside our room till 3am. We had no view except for slums across street. We didnt get pool or beach view, not that it made a difference. Couldnt get another room. It was horrible!
