Ruth,
I believe that the Los Arcos Vallarta hotel is the new name for the Miramar. It is part of a three unit group that includes:
- The Playa Los Arcos hotel - their beach front, 4 star, fancy place
- The Los Arcos Suites - a family oriented building with kitchens
- and of course the Los Arcos Vallarta hotel - which is their less expensive offering
All three facilities are located in the same area. The Playa is on the beach while the other two are located a block away up a side street and across from each other. They are a short (1 block) walk to the beach.
The part of PVR your hotel is located in is referred to as “Old Town”. And it is the only section of PVR that I would stay in because it is a beautiful blend of old Mexico and tourist conveniences. El Centro, which is the main part of PVR is in easy walking distance from your hotel.
The Los Arcos Vallarta doesn’t have any facilities, but you get to use the facilities of Playa Los Arcos as part of your deal. The last time I stayed there, we received chits for free breakfast at Playa which serves fairly good food. (Although when we stayed at Playa, we didn’t get free breakfast - go figure.)
The rooms at Los Arcos Vallarta are rather basic with small bathrooms. There are a number of different types of rooms that cost more if they are larger or have kitchenettes. There is a small wading pool on the roof and a cabana area. If you do stay there, be sure to go up there if just for the view.
As to B&Bs, there is one that is located a little further south (but still within walking distance to everything. It is more expensive (US $60 + 17%25 taxes) for two. The rooms are no better the Los Arcos Vallarta but it has a fantastic view of the bay from the patios. It’s called Casa Corazon. If your interested, I can give you the phone number and more info about its location.
I will be happy to answer any other questions I can. You can E-mail me your questions at

My husband and I are going to PV for a week over New Year's. We told the travel agent we wanted an inexpensive hotel on the beach. We're booked at a Holiday Inn. Does anyone know if it is a dive or decent? I don't really care if it is a dive, just want to be prepared. We prefer to spend money on some excursions...any suggestions? How about those trips into the Sierra Madre mountains? Marieta Islands? Caletas? Please give recommendations. Thanks.

Hola, the hotel Sierra is a beautiful hotel outside of P.V. Nuevo Vallarta is basically just new big hotels that are all inclusive. So, there is no little charming town or sidewalk cafes. You will have to travel to P.V. to see the real mexico. Walk the Malecon (boardwalk) on Sunday evenings as do all the locals. There are many wonderful restaurants: Archies Wok, Trio, Cuiza, Fajita Republic, Karpathos, Chianti, Pipis, Dona Celia, El Dorado and the list goes on. Nightlife varies from mariachi music, latin discos, bars.... Zoo, Tequilas, Christines, Collage, ROXY (live jazz). Lots of wonderful day tours: snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, bird watching, shopping, jeep safaris and even swiming with the dolphins. Enjoy and if I can be of further help, please do not hesitate to write to me.
I have been coming to P.V. for 16 years and have been a resident for the past 9 years.

Ron, April is a pretty busy month being Semana Santa (holy week) but, you can still find some less touristy places around. Try: Fajita Republic, Archies Wok, Dona Celia (hole in the wall) great mexican food, Karpathos Taverna, La Casita, spend a day out at Boca De Tomatlan or El Anclote beach. As for night life I like the Roxy, loud live jazz, blues and reggae. Or try Marriachi Loco for an intertaining show. If you like discos try Collage or Christines. Tours: Snorkeling, scuba diving, Mountain Biking, Hiking, surfing, kayaking, bird watching, jeep tours and dolphins. Vallarta is unlimited! have fun and if you have further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
