We have stayed at Playa Los Arcos, for the last 3 years. The hotel has a great location in the Romantic Zone. We took the "all inclusive plan". The Wait Staff went out of their way to cater to all of our needs, as well as did the people at the front desk. We did have a slight problem with room service, but after a complaint to Eric at the front desk, our problem was resolved. The pools were clean, the public rest romms were immaculate, as was our room. We had a room on the second floor, with a nice balcony. The room was spaceous, as was the bathroom. The maid must be commened for her humor. When our beds were made, she had taken a towel, and made a little animal out of it and put it on the bed. We enjoyed seeing different ones every day. Back to the dining room, the buffet had great choices, for breakfast, and dinner. We didn't eat lunch, since there were so many great restaurants, right around the corner. There is an entrance from the beach, and one can get onto the Malecon Board Walk, and have a nice walk down to the main square. Cafe Maximilian, is located in the hotel, and has an excellent menu. One thing the hotel lacks, is a botique/shop, were one can buy such items like newspapers, magazines, and personal needs. The hotel charges for all phone calls. This includes ones made to confirm flights. There is also a charge for the botteled water, in the rooms. We found a little family store, round the corner, where it can be bought for less. Check in is easy, with no hassles.
The hotel has live entertainment, with is subdued. If your looking for wild night life, you won't find it in this hotel. However, we found a great place, just up the street that did. We are returning to Vallarta in January 2007, and are staying in the same room we had in 2006. Another note, the food has improved since our first stay. You really can have a great time in Puerto Vallarta. This hotel is inexpensive, and will fulfill your needs. Playa Los Arcos, gives it's guests, much more, for a lot less.
So stay and enjoy.
