Playa Los Arcos is a family-oriented beach resort, located right on the beach at Playa del Sol (also known as Playa de los Muertos). The hotel has been recently renovated and is clean and well-maintained. There are family suites and rooms with one king or two double beds.
It is a short walk to interesting bars and night clubs on Olas Altas and restaurants on Olas Altas and Basilio Badillo (restaurant row).
Facilities include swimming pools, restaurant, palapa bar w/live music, beach towells/chairs/umbrellas, activities, A/C, hair dryers, safe deposit boxes.
Most rooms have a terrace or balcony and at least a partial view of the ocean. The sound of the surf is ever present and lulls you to sleep at night.

Stayed at Playa los Arcos Sept '07 while on vacation w/my husband and his family. (My husband's sister-in-law picked this hotel.) 250pesos from airport to the hotel but 100 pesos from there to the airport.
As for the hotel itself, Superior Rooms are supposed to have a better view. Either 1 king or 2 double beds. A/C,shower, hair dryer, tv, phone & safes are in the rooms as well for valuables. The rooms have balconies. No fridge or microwaves. In order to use a three prong cord, bring an adapter with you for the electric plugs. 5pesos to make a local call. I found the rooms to have a weird musty smell to it. Even though the maid sprayed the room the smell still lingered. I think it was the old wood furniture.
Very friendly staff. Martha @ the front desk was the best! Very helpful and recommendated some great restaurants. For tour discounts talk to Jaime. You can find him on the strip of beach next to the hotel's restaurant. He's a cabana "boy". A really fun guy and super nice.
Rogelio is an excellent waiter at the hotel's restaurant. There mainly during the morning and afternoon hours. (Friends w/Jaime.) There's a painter gentleman that sets his table up next to the hotel restaurant around 9:30pm. He paints beautiful pictures of Vallarta with only his fingers and nails! 150pesos per painting. I bought 4! ;-)
The hotel front desk will change your currency for you. $1US~10.70pesos. There's a tour office right next to the front desk and a gift shop with all the necessary items you may need. As well as some cute trinkets.
The hotel restaurant: If you sit at a table near the beach, you'll have vendors constantly trying to sell their wares. They're not allowed to come on the restaurant grounds but they can stand a few feet away on the beach side. I had to say, "No necesito" quite a few times during my meal. But that's Vallarta for you. You have to deal w/the vendors almost everywhere.
All-in-all this was an inexpensive hotel that's right on the beach. The staff is great and the location is ideal.
There's a huge heated pool, an adults only pool next to it w/a waterfall and a jacuzzi. Open from 10am-10pm. They have different pool activities available such as water aerobics. The palapa restaurant had mediocre food and mixed drinks. You have the option to eat from the buffet or order off the menu. Each night the restaurant has various entertainment for the guests. Mock cockfights, mariachi bands, native music and dancing etc.
Playa los Arcos is within walking distance of many restaurants, the water taxi pier, Rio Cuale shopping area, downtown Vallarta and the Malecon (boardwalk). Vallarta is very laid-back and gay friendly. The policia is seen every now and then and the hotel security guards are there 24/7.
