Its ALL Good
Best Location in PV
Although definitely a hotel with 3 star amenities and service, you cannot beat the location right on the beach, the room was cozy with a great view, and the restaurant had fun entertainment to start the evenings off. Also, I was able to figure out which staff members were most helpful and spoke the best English after a day or two. Would def go back for the price!

Dining tip:
Short walk from hotel
Avoid the tourist trap restaurants along the ocean front, except for a beer and some chips and salsa. Overall the food and service at these places were inferior and the prices were basically the same as in the US. The smaller local restaurants and vendors on the streets behind the hotel and throughout the city offered much better food at 1/10th the cost.

Had a real good time, employees were great. Not too much noise where are room was located, real close to all the clubs that we like. I saw a comment before about the noise, but we didn’t have any problems.

Just be careful of your surroundings, and that’s any where you are, even in the US. We never had a problem in all the years we been there, but just be safe and don’t drink too much lol

Annual Trip
I have stayed here 3 times now. Love the location, staff, and rooms. Can't go wrong for the price. Have also stayed at Casa Dona Susana whihc is nice too. The rooms are smaller at Casa and no kids running around. Los Arcos is more family oriented. I will definately stay at Los Arcos again & again!

Great Location & Value
We just got back from a 6-day (5 night) trip. We were very pleased with the location and the proximity to the beach. Right in Zona Romantica, it's located close to lots of great restaurants and within walking distance to a lot of bars and shopping areas. Be sure to ask for a beach or semi-beach view for your room - you want to be able to open the windows/doors to get the breeze - the AC is mediocre at best and sounded like a jet engine taking off. The hotel is clean and we were told it's locally owned (haven't confirmed that) but it is Mexican owned. The staff is friendly (Esteban took care of us on the beach!). It is not a super luxury brand hotel but is GREAT for the traveller who isn't planning on doing much more than sleeping and showering in the room. We spoke with lots of people who have been coming to PV for 30+ years and have been staying in this hotel for at least the last 15 of those. One odd thing, we didn't see many locals while in PV (other than staff). At the restaurants and hotels seem to be mostly all American or Canadians on vacation. It would have been fun to see where the locals go for great food. Even the street vendors had a lot of non-natives eating at them. We would definitely stay here on our next trip to PV. Again, the location and being right on the beach are exactly what you want when staying there!

Just one more vacation for the winter!
We have stayed at Los Arco's many times and you could not stay at a better place as far as location and a great time to experience PV old town. The hotel, beach and pool area are clean and the staff is very friendly. You are treated very nice and you feel very safe and comfortable all the time.

Short walk from hotel
You can walk to some great places to dine or take a short cab ride to other great places to eat and watch the sunset. You are right in the middle of old town so you can go every where. The Saturday Farmer's Market is 2 blocks away and it is great.

authentic beachfront getaway
Very cool place. Authentic and very welcoming feeling from the moment we arrived. My spanglish is no bueno. But it did not matter. The staff were so kind to help us learn & they all spoke very good english. Everyone honestly treated us like a king & queen the whole time. Great views no matter where you are..front desk, pools, lounge, dinning area, or directly in front on beach. I would definatley come back again.

Best Location
Best location in Old Vallarta, we could walk to more places than we could visit in 10 days. Nice pool, hot tub, and access to a great beach. Breakfast at the hotel is their best meal served...go somewhere else for dinner! Super friendly staff. We will definitely stay here again.
