Playa Los Arcos Trip Report with Pic Link
Puerta Vallarta - December 8 -12, 2007 We have been to Caribbean side of Mexico 6 times and thought we would try the other side. We chose the Playa Los Arcos Hotel in the Romantic Zone based on price, we got a great deal through Continental Vacations, and for their location. Within walking distance ...

We're leaving for our first trip to PV in 2 weeks. We booked the Yelapa and Majahuitas tour. Can let you know how it worked out for us when we get back. There were many recommendations in justing taking a water taxi from the Marina and go for the day on your own. But, we like guided tours. We get mo...

Tour company at the Playa Los Arcos?
I'm in the process of booking our off site excursions for our trip next month. We booked 2 just fine on-line, but had an issue with another on-line company so I think we'll wait until we get there and see what else is available. It there a tour desk at the Playa Los Arcos, and if so, which one? What...

Thanks for replying. We booked with Continental Vacations. I was concerned after reading your post, so I contacted them. As of now, our reservation is still valid. I hope it doesn't change between now and then. It took us awhile to finally decided on the Playa Los Arcos. I don't want to be hunting a...

Re: Los Arcos
We were booked into the Playa Los Arcos through Air Transat Holidays in Toronto. One week later we were informed that there was a hold on Los Arcos and they were not selling trips there for this winter. We changed to Canto Del Sol Plaza, it is a little farther away but still close enough to the Mal...

We are staying at the Playa Los Arcos starting Dec 8. I read the link. What about the Los Acros Suites hotel? Is it no longer part of the chain? If we like the Playa Los Arcos, we would be interested in the new "Adults Only" sister hotel. I just read on their website, they updated all the rooms at a...

djptexas, your review basically mimics my review of the RIU Tropical Bay in Negril, Jamaica. Too many drunks, too many kids and really bad food. We've been to many AI properties. The RIU is a cheap AI chain. They attract adults looking for a Spring Break atmosphere wanting to get their drink on and ...

Re: Drinks prices
Those are nightclub prices which makes them somewhat unique and in line with many nightclubs in Mexico and the rest of the world. Vegas clubs are now charging around $8/beer and $16/martini give or take. And that's why we have stopped going to Las Vegas. It's gotten way too expensive. No only drink...

Thanks for the info. We are doing the AI plan at Playa Los Arcos. It was only $75 p/p for 5 days/4 nights, so at that price, we felt we would get the best of both worlds. We plan on just going out for dinner, but I think we're going to try PiPis for their Sunday Champange Brunch instead of dinner. I...

Restaurant locations?
We are staying at the Playa Los Arcos for 5 days/4 nights. I found a website that has listings for 230 restaurants in PV with customer reviews. Really great info, but totally overwhelming. I can see now why there is such a huge debate between AI and non-AI. :) After going through all the resturants ...

Tours to a waterfall?
We are going to PV in December for 4 nights. We would like a tour that takes us to a waterfall and includes a few other places, but not by horseback. Which company/tour do you recommend?

where is the Riu Jallisco located at? 20 minutes from the Puerto Vallarta airport Do you recommend it? Personally, no. I don't like major hotels with 700 rooms. There will be lots of people, lots of children and lots of drunks. We stayed at the RIU Tropical Bay in Negril, Jamaica. Based on that expe...

We just booked PV for December on Continental Airlines Vacations. www.continental.com They are currently extending a $200 off credit on packages. Don't know if it will be valid for February, but it wouldn't hurt to look. The RIU Jalisco was priced very decent. We chose the Playa Los Arcos. Other pac...
