“I would not recommend this hotel.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011
4
people found this review helpful

When I arrived at the hotel, the room facing the beach which I had reserved and paid for two month previously, was not available. I was given a terrible room which was facing a noisy street, crawling with ants in the bathroom, paper thin sheets and generally nasty. Since people were partying outside my room until 3 am, I got very little sleep. The next day, I decided to move to another hotel down the street which I would highly recommend, Playa Mazatlan. When I tried to receive a refund between the cost of the ocean front room I had paid for and the lower price room they gave me, the young woman at the desk was surly and acted like it was a total bother to her to even speak to me. The manager never showed her face. Finally, with much hesitation, my refund was grudgingly handed over! Don't bother with this place, there are plenty of better choices in the area!

“This has gone way downhill...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2010
3
people found this review helpful

We have stayed at Los Arcos at least 6 times in the past few years...they have a great location on the beach and near fun restaurants and shops...they also take dogs so that was a big plus for us...this last time was horrible!
Let's start with the dance music going until 4am this morning...thump, thump, thump...but besides that ...we got a room that the curtain didn't cover the bedroom window...we had to put the bedspread up to block the view out and in...the air cond stopped working in the middle of the night...we would have adjusted it but their new policy is to keep the remote for the air conditioners...that is besides having to ask for the remote for the TV...and being charged a deposit...the floors were dusty and sandy...there were no glasses, cups in the kitchenette...they said there were new owners...I suggested this morning that they tell them they need to work on the place...the girl looked quite bored by my input...oh well...we'll have to find a new place and stop telling people about this one. PS...the wifi doesn't really work in the rooms...they suggest you come to the office to use your computer.

“Great family vacation made better by a great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2010

My family has been going to Mazatlan for a long time. My uncle started staying at Los Arcos 5 or 6 years ago, every winter for 4 or 5 weeks. Then my parents and older brothers and have joined them for the last few years for New Years. Los Arcos is a great hotel. It's small, so it doesn't have that big hotel feeling, but it doesn't feel like a cheap motel either. It's really nice to have your own kitchen and TV (even if there only is Spanish programming). The showers are nice, and there's air conditioning in every room. Unfortunately there was a gay bar across the street that kept it's music going all night, which kept my parents up. I managed to sleep right through it thanks to some sun filled days, right in front of my sliding glass doors.

“No Frills, Great Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2008
1
person found this review helpful

We love this place! Been there 4 or 5 times. It's where Mexican families stay on vacation. Comfy, apartment style rooms with a living room and kitchen in 2 bedroom units. The showers are awesome. I love the open concept with 5 foot high walls for privacy but lots of room and air circulation. For a family, the showers work well because the bathroom can be shared while someone using it.

The pool was added a few years ago and is a pleasant alternative to the beach. Very nice, large patio area with chairs and lounges.

Everything is always very clean and the staff is warm and friendly. Shopping is at the end of the driveway.

  • Liked — It feels like home without tv!
  • Disliked — Airconditioning is only in the bedrooms

“A bargain for quiet beaches”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2007
2
people found this review helpful

We booked Los Arcos on internet, arrived to find a hotel with quiet beaches, free internet, pool and good service. The room we had was well used, (i.e.cigarette burns on tub ledge), but clean. I looked at some other rooms which seemed in a bit better condition. The staff was very friendly, helpful and nice restaurant. This hotel would be a good choice for those who want a quiet beach, are okay with standard rooms, free internet and good service. We booked a kitchenette, which turned out to be a hotplate in the room and box of dishes. We needed more kitchen so did move but for economy rooms this would be a good deal

  • Liked — Helpful staff
  • Disliked — The room was well worn,
  • Tips/Secrets — Not fancy but price is right
