The hotel has a great location in the heart of the Romantic Zone, making it easy to explore nearby restaurants and attractions. The rooms were quaintly decorated and clean, but faced some noise challenges from the street. The service at the beach was friendly but sometimes overwhelmed due to high demand. Overall, it's a basic hotel with a fun vibe perfect for those looking to enjoy the lively atmosphere of Puerto Vallarta.

Hotel Los Arcos is a wonderful place with a strong connection to the community, offering a memorable stay. The location on the beach is incredible, and the staff made us feel welcome. However, there were some issues with the rooms, as we found ours to be a bit dated and smaller than expected. Overall, it’s a great choice if you're looking for a socially responsible hotel that prioritizes giving back.

I’ve been coming to this hotel for years because it really captures the authentic Mexican experience. The location is unbeatable, right by the beach, and the service is top-notch. However, some of the rooms could use a little updating, and there’s often something under repair, which gives it a bit of a funky vibe. Overall, it’s great value for an authentic stay in Puerto Vallarta, and I can’t wait to return with my family.

The hotel boasts a beautiful location right in the heart of the Zone Romantica, making it perfect for exploring the local area. The service from the staff was genuinely friendly and accommodating, which added to the overall experience. However, the dining options left something to be desired, particularly for dinner, and the rooms were quite small and could use some updates. The all-inclusive option didn’t quite meet my expectations, especially for the evening meals.

6.6/10

Overall, I had a decent stay at this hotel. It's definitely more family-friendly, and while it's older, they keep the grounds well-maintained. The location is fantastic since it's in the heart of things, but the room size left a bit to be desired. The dining options were okay, though they could use some improvement. I would consider returning for a short trip, but I'd look elsewhere for a longer stay.

Rooms

Our room was quite old and small, lacking luxury and a decent view.

The restaurant's food was decent, but it wasn't the best dining experience I've had.
