The location for this hotel was phenomenal. Located in the heart of the romantic zone and walking distance to the boardwalk. The beach here is divine. The rooms that have yet to be remodeled leave something to be desired but the staff and the amenities were great. There was always some type of food available, and the bartenders were quick. The bar service at the beach was fantastic, make sure to tip them and they will treat you like royalty.

We rented three rooms for a family vacation. We were incredibly disappointed with the rooms. The pictures on the website in no way were a good description of this property. The property is very old, bathrooms have obviously never been updated. However, the pictures on the website showed exceptional bathrooms. Not the case for our three rooms, superior partial ocean views we thought we reserved. The pool was wonderful, and we had a great time there. People were awesome in the "One" restaurant that was available and the outside bar. Very good people. I cannot say the same for the people that check you in. When I complained about our room they not only did not apologize, they seemed perturbed that we would even complain. We would never stay at this property again, so sad, because we had looked so forward to a 10 day stay. Could not wait to leave.

Los arcos is an older property in a great location, close to restaurants, shops and the beach. We arrived late around 8, and thy put us in a small, windowless room bathroom was tiny and the decor was awful nothing like the pictures on the web. We asked for a better room and upgraded to one with a balvony

We love this place so much. Weve stayed here 5 plus times now, the reason for my 4 star is that the rooms really need some attention. Even new curtains would help tremendously. And for some reason the usually extremely friendly staff all seemed really disgruntled and unhappy this time. Overall, I'll Definitelybe back. The location for this property just can't be beat, and the food is really good.

When we checked in to our room we were very disappointed with the condition of our room. In the morning we went to the front desk to voice or concern and they were very happy to upgrade our room to a newly renovated room. Once we switched rooms we were very happy and the condition of the new room was great. This made a world of difference.

We were very disappointed in our room. I booked a “superior” room, but didn’t feel it was superior at all. We had to switch rooms as the first room we were in was dirty, noisy and dreary. The second room was a bit better. Unfortunately, I would not recommend staying at this hotel. Getting a lounge by the pool was impossible unless you were down there by 7:00 am. The only plus was the area. Lots of lovely restaurants.
