This was a very nice Beach Resort! We had the all inclusive package - the food and drinks were great. It was in an amazing location in the Zona Romantica, in a very lively and walkable area. The hotel staff are friendly. Would highly recommend! We really enjoyed our stay.

This is my second time staying at Los Arcos. I love the area and how everything is walking distance. Hotel itself could probably use a remodel, but I don’t mind it at all! I’ll stay here again next year!

My first time here, I stayed 3 weeks and I loved it! The rooms were clean, the beds and linens were comfortable and very clean. I did not want a 5 star experience..I wanted to immerse myself into the local culture. The people were so friendly and as a 72 yr old woman, solo traveler I felt safe at all times.it was family friendly. I love it that i could walk everywhere...whether from the beach or from the street. The hotel staff were so friendly and accommodating. I will be back!

The room look a bit outdated. This is the romantic zone and it is more visible the LGBT community around the property. The all inclusive is always convenient to just enjoy the pool and the beach. We enjoyed the pool and the price was fair. But we don't think we stay here again, we might triy a different hotel.

We like the room, seemed like it was renovated recently. We also enjoyed the pool. The hotel is in the romantic zone where the LGBT community is more visible. The parking was limited and not on site. We don't think we would stayed again here, but it was convenient tonstay only one night as we did for other reasons.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Location is a 10/10. Ammenties are great, pool was amazing and bar and staff were flawless. The rooms themselves were split. Some rooms were brand new and renovated whereas some rooms we had with our group of friends had really old outdated rooms. The older rooms had terrible bathrooms and air-conditioning.
