    Great cleaning each day on the rooms. The pools are nice and the people are friendly. The breakfast is delicious and the drinks keep flowing. Will be back, directly on the hotspot of the beach in the romantic zone !

    This is downtown in Puerto Vallarra, it’s call Malecon, beautiful, clean and organized! You will find everything there, food, status, bars, night clubs, beach, convenience stores, hotels, etc.

    Truthfully, the outside look of the church is much more beautiful than the inside. The inside looks quite ordinary although it has a a lot of 24k gold decorations. It’s ironic that they spent so much gold building a church which represents the “love” of the god while you always see some poor people begging for money right outside of it..

    It is a wonderful place to go and meet Mexican culture and enjoy the ocean wind and sea. Lots to do and the day lots to do at night with the events in the amphitheater nearby.

    One of the most photographed structures in Puerto Vallarta. It's a monument that consists of four arches and five columns, that's about it. Located along the Malecon, it's a popular place for photos and a good landmark for meetings. The monument itself is not particularly impressive or interesting. Once you snap your photo you'll be done with it, and probably never look at it twice again.

    I just loved this monument, my PV's favorite place to take a pic.

    Clean, felt safe. Loved all the holiday decorations!

    Signifies an end to the Malecon (at least the walk through main part of town) when coming from the North. Obviously the end if coming from the South. You'll see it of course just by walking the malecon.

    The weekly events are excellent for some family time.

  • 5/5 Robert B. 4 months ago on Google
    A great drop off point for walking in either direction. Always a good photo op.

    An iconic spot with beautiful views of the ocean. Randomly walked by and they had a public show going on one night as well

    Beautiful Art sculptures with Rocking Horses for people to get on!! Lots of shops around and prices are cheaper than the Rio Cuale Market vendors!

  • 5/5 Yangyang F. 1 year ago on Google
    Located right by the beach on a small public square with DJs and wooden rocking horses. Across the road from another square with live music, food stands, and beautiful church. Very nice neighborhood for an afternoon stroll.

    Small place. Food was really good and prices really reasonable. Not a fan if the guava water but it came with the meal so tried something new.

    It feels so nice to be back to Puerto Vallarta after so many years. The Malecon is amazing and very clean and with lots of fun things to see,do,explore and discover. Los arcos is the iconic area to take your IG moment and enjoy the sunset view.

    We took a cab from the Port to Los Arcos, and found someone at the beach to take the 4 of us out snorkeling. The people were great, and the snorkeling was a lot of fun. Had fish swimming all around us!

    Our favorite vacation spot, right in the middle of everything you need in Mexico. Great food, friendly people, the beautiful beach. Don't stay at the so called fancy resorts by the airport, go to where the locals live and experience Mexico, not just another fancy hotel. It's safe, it's cheaper and it's simply amazing ❤❤❤

    An older hotel in the romantic district. A bit crowded and noisy for my liking but it’s a good location on the beach. Good for morning walks. Rooms are ok with cold AC but very noisy if you are facing the pools. They hold events when groups are there and loudspeakers and music are the norm from early morning on. The staff were attentive but some of the reception staff can be rude and inconsiderate but make a fuss and a manager will jump on the case quickly. Will probably try a different hotel next time.

    Great photo op

  • 5/5 Michelle B. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a beautiful archway in an unexpected place as is much of the art along Puerto Vallarta when you are walking through the town. Very nice indeed. I personally really also loved the people who were dressed up like statues just a little further down. I bet they are sooo hot, yet so creative absolutely neat!! 🥰
