My husband and I stayed here for a week through our timeshare program. We would return, but have a few 'plus and minus' comments.
1. The people, service, and cleanliness of the resort are outstanding. From the front desk, to the great variety of waiters, to the housekeeping and bell staff. Absolutely 100%.
2. The timeshare - owners update - is not great - but we went to express our dissaction with our original purchase process and promises not kept. After that they left us alone.
3. We had a studio unit - this was a negative for us. We were told that traveling at this time of year we should expect an upgrade to a one bedroom. This didn't happen - even though the resort was not very busy (maybe only 50%). The studio was a very poor design compared to the PV Villa resort. It had a bed, small kitchen facilities, but only 1 chair in the room - so no place for us to sit and eat - other than on the balcony. And no way for both of us to sit inside the room. Very strange. The studio design that we were shown in the ts presentation looked great - but this isn't what we had.
4. The weather was great - so we didn't spend alot of time in the room anyway, but one of the great advantages of the condo type units is the kitchen facilites so you don't have to eat out all of the time. It just wasn't workable with this studio design.
5. Loved Cabo. Had great times in the town, and at Baja Buggies. Superb service in the restaurants in the city.

So, we'll be back - and maybe even at the Villa del Arco - but never again in this type of studio.

My wife and I stayed at Villa Del Arco from January 21-28, 2012. We have some friends with a timeshare and the 4 of us stayed in a two bedroom. The location was great. We were on the 6th floor right above the ship in the pool. We could have thrown a rock into the ocean it was so close.
Balcony was great place to watch sunrises and eat breakfast.

Had no problems with any timeshare sales reps. We were not ever approached.

My new husband and I just got home a couple days ago from an unbelievable honeymoon at Villa del Arco. As owners/members, I knew that we would have a great vacation but never could have imagined the hospitality shown by the staff. From check in all the way through our stay we were greeted by name and consistently given great honeymoon perks (champagne, activity discounts, great upgrades). The rooms themselves are gorgeously updated and luxurious. We had an unbelievable view of the water with a huge patio. The pool is great and the beach is even better. During our stay we were able to use the cabanas for free, and had fantastic beach-side drink and food service.

Overall I would absolutely recommend this resort to all. One word of caution- I would not to the all-inclusive option. The food at the restaurants is mediocre at best, but who wants to eat at the resort when there are multiple great beach bars and nice restaurants just a quick cab ride away? :)

Our 2nd trip to Cabo San Lucas and stayed in the Villa Del Palmar the first time. Chose the Arco simply so that we could have the connecting rooms as there were 5 of us (one 17 y/o and 4 adults). We were on AI both trips. We really enjoyed the quieter pool area and the fact that all the noisy parties and functions were held at the Palmar. The gym at the Arco is much bigger and the spa is beauitful! Food was excellent with lots of choices for an AI being able to eat at both the Arco and Palmar. Be prepared to pay more for the rooms at the Arco compared to the Palmar though.
