Playa Los Arcos Category 4 stars

We have stayed here three times and can't wait to return. We are not fussy or demanding so service here is perfect and comfortable. Management is involved and responsive. Service is good. Nothing like returning to the room after a long morning at the beach or a day spent shopping and finding a clean and air-conditioned room we stay on oceanfront so can read outside late into the night. During summer nights it is not unusual to get a thunder and lightening storm all night long. In the morning, it is sunny and beautiful. The cafe next door served a wonderful espresso before a late dinner.

We stay here every year and we just love it. The beach is right there...the locals that work on the beach have our chairs, umbrellas and towels waiting for us each and every morning with the biggest smile on their faces. We enjoy the beach vendors with fresh fruit, mahi mahi and srimp on a stick, the happiest man on earth selling lobster salads, and cervesa's nice and cold in a bucket on the beach. It just doesn't get any better than this. As long as you have a good attitude towards continually being approached by the vendors selling their wares...you'll just love it. Personally I find the vendors part of the charm and have started bring kid things from our local dollar store for the children who come around selling magnets that I don't really want to buy. Instead I give them something from home that puts a big smile on their faces. Don't eat the food from the hotel...it's terrible. Freddy Tucan has the best breakfast ever and the hotels restaurant outside on the street with it's white table cloths has an awesome breakfast and late in the evening they have the best coffee and beautiful deserts to try. The rooms at this hotel are really nice for an older hotel.

We traveled to PVR for Spring Break vacation and was it ever a V A C A T I O N! Our ocean front room was amazing and we could hear the waves at night as we slept! Playa Los Arcos is just the BEST! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The sunsets were to die for. We went to Yelapa by water taxi, parasailed, zip lined, Rhythms of the Night and ate at great restaurants including Le Kliff, Pipi's, Vista Grill, Fredy's Tucan and Cafe de Olla. Old Town Vallarta is where everything authentic "Mexican" is, and we loved it. The city of PVR is very welcoming and we are traveling back to PVR again this December. Can't wait!
