Tucked away at the southern tip of Puerto Vallarta's old town, the Los Arcos Vallarta hotel is a small adults-only hotel that allows visitors a complete experience in Mexican hospitality.
This hotel, which has been renamed Casa Dona Susana, offers you the option of an all-inclusive package which is great value for the reasonable price, while also a room-only alternative. Spread over 42 rooms and suits, which are tastefully decorated with hand-carved wooden furniture and traditional Mexican folk art, the hotel also has a heated rooftop swimming pool which is great for a leisurely open-air swim, and a trace solarium from where you can partake of some of the most breathtaking views of the city. Although the hotel is not located on the beach itself, you still have access to beach facilities, courtesy the Los Arcos World Class Beach Resort, which is located barely a block away. The hotel also provides for fresh towels to carry to the beach and the pool, to ensure that your stay is as facile as possible.
If you do opt for the all inclusive plan you can also avail of the buffet and a la carte facilities at the beach resort, and even take your pick from the open bar which features domestic specialties.
The room-only option is not such a bad idea either with safety deposit boxes within your room itself, mini-refrigerators for that relaxed after-hours drink and well-maintained, private bathrooms which are equipped with hairdryers. Your room also features cable television for those lazy afternoons, maid service to keep your room spotless, and if you opt for the suite, you also have a kitchenette to rustle up a meal from scratch and a private balcony for intimate evenings.
The strategic location of the hotel warrants that you are never too far away from any of Puerto Vallarta's major attractions and just seven miles from the Gustavo D Ordaz Airport. The Casa Dona Susana hotel does insist that guests be of the age of 18 or above and also provides you with prompt currency exchange facilities at any hour of the day.
All in all, if you are on a modest budget and are looking for a comfortable relaxing stay on your visit to Puerto Vallarta, then Casa Dona Susana is right where you're headed.
