We stayed at Playa Los Arcos because we had seen it when visiting PV and wanted to be downtown. Location was great and we decided to go non-inclusive and eat out. We enjoyed this option as there are tons of restaurants all over PV. This is an older hotel (65 years) and the rooms are small but clean. The beach... More

I have seen some reviews of this hotel that were not all together flattering, and I must admit I was hesitant to try it. However, my reservations proved to be unfounded in the actual experience. The staff was wonderful. They were helpful at all times of the day and night, they spoke enough English for us to feel welcomed, they... More

The hotel is not fancy and yes the rooms are in need of updating...but you can not beat the location! The... More

Myself and two buddies stayed at this hotel at the start of December for a " bachelor " trip to PV. We wanted something downtown. While, this is the place for location. It is simply the best location in PV if you want to be "in the heart of the action". However, I would NEVER bring my wife or family... More

First and foremost...this place is a perfect location. For anybody who wants to experience the old town, this location cannot be beat. Nice pool, nice ambiance. However... Their room quality is extremely variable and the room selection policy is insane. I had read other reviews on TripAdvisor that warned about the variable quality of the room. I thought - No... More

Location - 5 Stars: The location cannot be beat. The main entrance is on Olas Altas in Old Town, and is also right on Los Muertos beach. Old Town is where you want to stay if you enjoy a more Mexican experience. Quaint cobblestone streats, numerous street vendors, fantastic restaurants and plenty of nightlife. Both straight and gay nightlife options... More
