Stayed for 7 days. Room was cleaned every day. AC worked fine. I thought our rooms were spotless every time we came back in the evening. Old decor, but it’s fine as it has an authentic Mexican charm to it. Even though the hotel was right beside the NYE street party, I managed to get a good night’s sleep. Restaurant was okay, although the price is a little on the high end for what you get. I loved the happy hour drink special near the lobby— we went for them almost every day! Would I stay here again? Absolutely. If I’m not mistaken, Playa Los Arcos has the largest outdoor pool near the pier. I could not see another resort in the vicinity with a pool from the pier to Malecon. Their beach amenities and service was over the top. Thank you!!

We really enjoyed the resort. The location on the Malecon, the pool area, and the restaurant were great. We had an unrenovated room on the top floor. The top floor on that side had amazing terraces with 2 chaise loungers and a table and chairs. With the location of the sun it was incredible, and we spent all our time outside. Because of the extra big terrace, the room was tiny. 2 people couldn't walk past each other at the end of a bed. The bathroom and closet were tiny too, and all were outdated. BUT we decided that the terrace life and resort made up for it and would come back and take the same room. Loved all the restaurants in the area and the ocean walkway in front. Could use a coffee maker though and be aware the Snow Birds tend to stake out all the tables in the pool area by 8 AM.

The noise of hammering on the roof above our room for nearly a week, and after repeated efforts to have them move us they finally stopped the workers. Our room was tiny and the bathroom even smaller….my husband had to sit sideways on the toilet…..the room we chose online looked way bigger. The maid was great but only if we tipped her every day! We forgot for a couple of days and got no towels, or bath mat. Everyone was polite enough but we weren’t impressed with the restaurant. Coffee was weak and tasteless. Will not stay there again.

This is a 2-3star hotel. The location is great and the staff are good but the rooms are very old and tired (with sketchy plumbing and AC); and the food is mediocre at best and too expensive given all the options around the hotel. If you’re looking for a cheap party place, this is it. If you’re looking for a quiet oasis retreat, keep looking 🙄
