For the second leg of our woefully short 6-night Mexican vacation (first 3 nights spent in idyllic Rincon de Guayabitos, see my review of Decameron Los Cocos if interested) Los Arcos Vallarta was everything we needed. The hotel interior is romantic and lush, the roof-top pool is jungle-y and fun. Our room was fine other than the fact that the... more

My wife and I stayed at the Los Arcos Vallarta Hotel February 18 - 22, 2007. We stayed in a Standard Room. The Hotel has a great location. You are in the heart of the Romanic Zone and a block from the beach. The Hotel is a 10 or 15 minute walk to any place downtown. Great restaurants within a... more

Booked fully inclusive package over the internet. Travelled economy fare, and left afternoon flight from Toronto. Arrived at hotel late that night...this timetable works best. Arrived at Hotel: Courteous staff directed us to our room. It was at the back of the hotel, and rather a "bunker" with no windows, musty and broken TV. We were not fazed by this:... more

Room had a moldy odor, the air conditioner was leaking into the room, and my father-in-law had $300 stolen from his room. more

Well my girlfriend and I left Toronto, on December 1st of this year. We booked our trip last minute with my travel agent. I usually travel all over the world about 4-8 times a year so I know what to expect from everywhere.... We read all the reviews about the hotel and the night life; we really weren't looking for... more

We booked this hotel because of its location in the "Romantic Zone" which is also the gay-friendly area of Puerto Vallarta, and the price could not be beat. I was expecting a no-frills hotel after reading the reviews in Trip Advisor, and that's exactly what we got. The room was extremely small and came with no view at all. There... more

We were very happy with Los Arcos, especially after coming from a hotel deeper into the city that didn't have ocean access, or elevators! The location of Los Arcos is absolutely perfect...right on the Malecon, in the midst of countless beachfront restaurants, and in the middle of viejo Vallarta. We were impressed by the staff, who went above and beyond... more

As a travel agent, I just returned from the Playa Los Arcos. Knowing in advance this hotel was rated a 3 star I wasn't expecting too much. After reading the reviews on trip advisor I was prepared for moderation. I did take the almost all inclusive rate as I didn't want to have to go out for every meal. Puerto... more

Have stayed here numerous times over the years, for price and location. True, amenities are not what you would find in the hotel zone, but for the price it is a deal. Over the past year or two there have been several updates that improve things even more. First, if you are on the east side of the hotel (rooms... more
