We arrived at the hotel, not having booked in advance and were told that they had rooms available for the week and that they also had Internet connection throughout the hotel. It was crucial for me to be able to connect to the Internet for work while I was there. They told us that we had to pay upfront for... more

We originally booked our stay in Escondido at the Villa Bel mar Down the street. It was terrible and I gladly gave up a nights fee there to look for better digs. We came across the Arco Iris and experienced Jupiter( day manager) He said he had a room available but we looked around the strip anyway only to come... more

My daughter and I stayed here in July 2005. Aside from the view, which is tremendous, we were very unhappy. The room was $80 -- a price at which I expect at least cleanliness, drinking glasses, and decent towels. Our bathroom and shower were dirty, including sand and spiders in the shower. We were given only two very flimsy, nearly... more

After a nightmare the day before, we toured Puerto looking for another hotel. We saw quite a few. Hotel Arco Iris were prepared to deal on the price. Rooms are a little shabby, but very clean and neat. Place has a warm familiar feel to it. Walkways and gardens are lovely. Restaurant has excellent food - wait staff are ok... more

We read about Arco Iris at this forum and were thankful to all previous advisers. We though checked a few other hotels before checking in at Arco Iris, they first had no free rooms at main building and those rooms are the best. Then once a room was available we moved in and had best one week there, though originally... more

I had to check out of this hotel after one night. Our room didn't have AC, so we left the windows open, with the bug screens. I woke up the next morning and (I'm not exaggerating here) I had 100 mosquito bites on my right arm (since I slept on my left side.) After inspecting the windows, the bug screen... more

Hotel Arco Iris was absolutely amazing. Every day that I am in this office I just keep thinking about how long it will be until I can go back. The staff was awesome (ie Jupiter) and the food was great! All I can say is that I left my heart there. If you get a chance go see Maika more

Stayed in Hotel Arco Iris in three (!) months. Had a really good time. Missed air condition the first nights, but not for long. Nice staff who does almost anything to comfort you. If your ill, ask for popcorn and you get it.... :) Even if many in the staff doesn't speak english they really try to help you. The... more

1996 was a long time ago...but my memories of the Hotel Arco Iris (arch of the iris -or- rainbow) are still vivid in my mind. Early morning strolls in the gardens behing the hotel, or recovering from a sunburn (be careful) on my breezy veranda... And it is true the staff are very friendly. Enjoy. I wish I could get... more
