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

We booked our trip through Expedia. I was a bit nervous reading all the reviews. One even said, "if you like camping, you'll love this place". Upon check-in, Marta was pleasant. We gave her a gift from our city to hers, a Chicago Cubs shirt. We had heard about the $20 trick and I thought this might be a nicer... more

we needed a hotel for one night-because we left chicago due to an incoming snow storm--they said no problem--nice suite for $152--so onto pv--got there at 10pm-late due to flight--they gave us a closet--it was so small i had to put bags in front of door so we could walk around the bed to get to the bathroom--which by the... more

The Playa los Arcos was a wonderful place to stay! The location was perfect, the service was excellent. If I were to stay there again, I would not have the all inclusive package because the buffet food was not very good. However, all in all....I loved it and will definitely stay there when I go back! more

I did a lot of reading about this and other hotels before we booked our trip. I was looking for a hotel that was not fancy, was fairly inexpensive and was on the beach. According to the reviews I read of this hotel (the good and the bad) I was pretty sure this was the hotel for us. It was... more

We arrived in Puerto Vallarta on the afternoon of Feb. 28th. One piece of our luggage was missing, so we had to stay at the airport for awhile. We finally arrived at the hotel, and were given a room with a bad smell, no windows that opened, and the two windows were frosted so that we couldn't even see out.... more
