This is not a 4 star hotel. Rooms were worse than a 1 star motel. You’re staying here purely for the convenience factor of being in RZ.

The rooms are old but clean and comfortable. However, the first night they put us in a room the size of a closet (no kidding). We complained and were able to change rooms the second night. The staff seemed a little put off but we didn’t care - the room was much nicer. Also glad we didn’t go for the all inclusive. The food and drinks at the hotel were not great. There are so many good local restaurants and bars - you’re much better off eating and drinking outside the hotel.

Zona Romantica is a wonderful area to stay. The hotel is very pretty and very clean although older. You can walk to many restaurants and entertainment within minutes, just outside your door. Highly recommend Playa Los Arcos for the location.

You cannot beat this location. However, some of the rooms are very much in need of updating and deep cleaning. The room was very gritty, the exterior doors are very thin and could easily be kicked in, curtains are undersized so they can’t keep the light out and gross shower. We didn’t stay in the original scummy room and paid for an upgrade after basically demanding because we could not handle the condition. The second room was updated but only had hot water TWICE during the week we were there. It felt like they were only pretending to take the hot water issue seriously which is frustrating. If you want to be downtown in the mix then this is the place but you will sacrifice a hot shower during your stay. The staff was nice but could be more helpful. The food was good and the all-inclusive felt like it was a good value. Really the cold shower all week was hard to endure. Otherwise we did enjoy the resort. It’s a hot spot for locals and regular visitors which made the atmosphere enjoyable.
