We were pleased with our accomodations. The rate was reasonable for the quality. The staff was helpful and honest. Our room was spacious, with a kitchenette, and a balcony with an ocean view (albeit in the distance.) The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. I can be a bit of a baby about sleeping in a hotel but I slept well there. It was within walking distance of restaurants, the beach, bars, shopping, the malecon (boardwalk), etc., right off the main strip. It is in the Romantic Zone of the Viejo Vallarta. I am so glad we stayed in the Romantic Zone instead of Nuevo Vallarta, which seems very cheesey. Los Arcos has a cozy heated pool and you may use the Playa Arcos pools, beach, etc., which is right around the corner. We did not choose the "all inclusive package" and were satisfied to select our own restaurants, etc., in Puerto Vallarta. We did not have a bad meal. The only complaints are that the bathroom is a little out of date and small. The shower water pressure was good though. The room smelled musty when we arrived but they brought us a dehumidifier and it took care of the smell. The room had small ants but we just kept our food in the refigerator. We would definitely stay there again.
