We arrived in Puerto Vallarta at another hotel property. It was at least 4 to 6 blocks from the main road, at the end of the beach and down a steep hill. After staying there one night , we walked to find breakfast and came across Playa Los Arcos. We had the breakfast buffet in the restaurant and decided to... more

I would not choose this hotel again. While the lobby & beach are pleasant, the rooms are creepy. I had 3 rooms in one week. The first was so tiny, there was barely room to walk around the bed. Next, I got moved to the traffic side. It was more than noise that was troubling. The musty stench saturated the... more

Playa Los Arcos is a lovely hotel in the downtown area that faces the beach. It is not the Ritz Carlton so one shouldn't have expectations that high. The room rate May 21-25 2008 was approximatey $100 night which was fantastic! We added the all inclusive for around $15 more per person per day which was well worth it just... more

Spent 5 days had a great time. Staff was very friendly, helpful and bi lingual. We asked for a quiet room off the street, pool side with a bay view and got it. Slight musty smell in room but was not a problem. Very comfortable bed. AC did not work at first but maintenance arrived about 5 minutes after I... more

If you read the negative comments about this hotel you will realize these people did not do their homework. The hotel is quaint, old, clean, and very friendly! When we arrived we were shown a room on the 4th floor and we were not happy with it. It was too small and did not have the view we expected. So... more

My wife and I have been to PV 17 times in the last 18 years and have stayed in hotels and condos from Los Muertos beach to Nuevo Vallarta. We have stayed at Playa Los Arcos five times for a total of 39 days in the past three years. This is a thirty year old family orientated Mexican hotel located... more

It is a 3 star hotel with a quaint lobby lounge area. You are not allowed to go up to your room after you check-in without being accompanied by the bellhop (squeezing a tip out of you). My fiancee and I have an issue whenever they do this since we usually travel light (ie 1 dufflebag or roller). Anyways, the... more

We've stayed here many times. You do have to negotiate for a better room and we ended up with a corner room, ocean front, with two sets of patio doors, awesome! We moved the bed partially out onto the patio to enjoy the out of doors. This is old town Mexico and if you're looking for plush, overly clean and... more

Arrived in PV 12:30 on a Friday. Several flights in at the same time, but got through all very quickly, collected bags, ignored time share area, and got cab to Playa Los Arcos. We paid $32 for 2 of us with 2 bags. Arrived at hotel by 1:45. I had e-mailed the hotel before we arrived to request a particular... more
