My stay at Playa Los Arcos was a mixed bag. On one hand, the location is fantastic, close to the beach and vibrant restaurants. However, the room itself left much to be desired, with cleanliness being a significant concern. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, the overall state of the facilities was quite disappointing. 😞🏖️

While there are nice pools and a spa, I found the conditions subpar, particularly with the temperature of the swimming pools. Additionally, the hotel's overall upkeep is in question.

Overall, I had a pleasant stay at Playa Los Arcos Hotel Beach Resort & Spa. The location is unbeatable, right by the beach and in the heart of the Romantic Zone. However, I found the room a bit small and lacking certain amenities, such as a coffee maker. The beach service was inconsistent, which detracted from the experience a little. 🌴🍹

I had a mixed experience at Playa Los Arcos. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to the beach and downtown Puerto Vallarta. However, the room was quite disappointing—small, old, and not as advertised. The service varied, with some staff being friendly while others were less accommodating. Overall, I appreciated the hotel's charm and location, but improvements in room quality and consistency in service would make it much better.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at Playa Los Arcos. The location was excellent, right by the beach and close to local shops and restaurants.

The hotel offered good facilities, but the pool area got a bit crowded. I appreciated the showers available for use before leaving, as it kept my room sand-free.

6.6/10

My stay at Playa Los Arcos was enjoyable overall, but there were notable ups and downs. The location on Los Muertos Beach was perfect, offering easy access to shops and restaurants, which I appreciated. However, I found the bathroom in my room had some mildew and felt a bit outdated. Additionally, the persistent peddlers on the beach made relaxation somewhat challenging.

Rooms

7.0

The room had a lovely ocean view, but it was smaller than expected and could have used some updates. The decor felt classy with intricate wood furniture, but a couple of issues like a loose front door and a slow-draining shower dampened the experience.

Service

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They were attentive, especially when I needed assistance with room issues, and the beach chair service was efficient.

Location

10.0

The hotel's location can't be beaten, right in the heart of the Romantic Zone and close to the Malecón. It was easy to stroll to nearby shops and fantastic dining options.

Dining

7.0

Dining options were limited to a few restaurants on-site, including a buffet and a seafood restaurant, which was good but repetitive. I would have liked more variety, especially since the food was overall tasty and authentically Mexican.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel features a good adult-only infinity pool and a larger pool area, though the vibe can get a bit lively with kids. The resort does offer beach access and day passes which add to convenience.
