I really loved this hotel and found its grounds and quiet environment wonderful. It seems a tiny bit dated with the light fixtures and such, but it appealed to me completely and feels very much like "old Mexico" with the ferns and stone steps and painted tiles, etc. My room was reasonable, cheaper than many of the surrounding hotels considering...

I booked a room by phone and they quoted me a price of 500 pesos per night including breakfast but when I checked in I was told that breakfast was an extra 100 pesos! Real good for a start! Then it got worse very quickly! My room was ocean-view but right on the road and out of the six nights... More

Arco has many things to recommend it- friendly, helpful staff eager to please. Rooms are large and all but two (213,214) have excellent large balconies overlooking the ocean.Furniture is eclectic but all rooms have at least two beds, a desk some with fridges etc. An excellent mix of Mexican and various nationalities tourists staying for long periods all through Dec,...

Stayed at Arco Iris several times during a low budget surf trip in September 2009. After having stayed for two nights at the poor bungalows at Rockaway, we decided to look for something better. We got a bargain price of $45 (low season) for a double room, which was way better standard than the crappy bungalow that did cost $30.... More

We have stayed at the Arco Iris, Santa Fe, Hotel Ines -- and prefer the Arco Iris. We have been many times. It's the best combination of value and comfort. Facing the surfing beach, Zicatela, it is well-located and a short walk to many great places to eat. I have had no trouble making reservations by emailing Rebeca at [--].... More

Arco Iris was very clean, has beautiful gardens and pool. The room with 2 double beds was cute, with sconce wall lights plus lamps, a small refrigerator, air conditioning (which we needed!), and a pretty tiled bathroom. Great balconies with a good view of Zicatela. Good restaurant, also with a view. Only downside was walking up 5 levels to get... More

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
