Great "Boutique" hotel, right on the beach
We visited Playa Los Arcos (PV) 10/21-10/28/09. We had a great time. The hotel is very clean, and the pool, restaurant and spa are wonderful. We were glad the pool was in the shade after sitting on the beach in the heat! The beach is full of vendors selling everything from jewelry to shrimp-on-a-stick. The hotel is located in a very safe neighborhood, just across the street from an outdoor elementary school. There are a couple of fun bars across the street for evening fun. We purchased the all-inclusive package and loved it. All the food and beverages for free all day long. If you purchase the all-inclusive package, be sure to use the "special tickets" in the evening for something more tasty than the buffet. Ask the friendly front desk for a free refrigerator for your room. EVERYONE was friendly and accommodating. Our A/C in the room cooled the room well, but a bit noisy. We won 2 free 15 minute massages from the hotels spa playing bingo - they were wonderful! Nightly entertainment (only so-so) at hotel was the same each night....2 gals signing w/electric piano. Hotel has at least 2 ignuanas on the property. Lots of great places to eat and drink and XOXO (mini-mart) within walking distance. Traded $$ for pesos at hotel (best rate). We HIGHLY recommend Playa Los Arcos!!! PV airport is large & clean with lots of shopping (and great A/C).

Very Friendly, Great Views
We stayed at Playa Los Arcos as well as their sister hotel up the street; Casa Dona Susana. Susana was quieter, and lovely but Playa was fun, friendly and we loved being on the beach!
