    Excellent hotel in a great location

    All was great.

    The hotel exceeded our expectations. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the ADO bus station, the central plaza, the beach and many restaurants/shops. The staff were extremely friendly; most don't speak English but were very willing to engage with our Spanglish! The breakfast was very good with a variety of choices daily. We had a room on the 4th floor which overlooked the pool as well as the mountains and forest. It was great fun watching the birds at dawn and dusk. We really appreciated the A/C, the hot water for showers and the refrigerator. It was a great stay and we hope to return.

    My only very minor complaint is that the AC blows onto the bed at night.

    Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Complementary breakfast was very nice, with fruit, juice, coffee or tea, toasted bread, and options for eggs prepared different ways along with chilaquiles or other. The pool was clean. Location was close to zócalo Crucecita but far enough away to avoid any noise.

    The showers never got very warm. It wasn't a terrible thing though.

    The location is excellent for walking around the town of La Cruciceta. Staff were excellent and the room was bright and clean. The pool was also nice to come back to after a hot day.

    Great location and friendly staff. There is great care taken with the hotel - it is very clean and there are so many beautiful plants around the property and the pool area is like a little oasis. Breakfast was great, too. A/c worked great.

    Location of the hotel is great; just a few blocks from the La Crucecita Zocalo on a quiet street. My room was clean, not too small, and everything in it was working as it should (I wish it had a mini-fridge thought). Service was amazing with the staff being very polite and accommodating. WiFi could be better in the rooms; it was a little slow but this was not a deal-breaker for me. I really liked their breakfast; it's true that there isn't much variety but it is quite substantial and also typically Mexican (no Continental here...) which I enjoyed :). At a discount (I paid on average 78 CAD/night), this hotel is an absolute bargain. Thank you!

    Everything went well!! Check in staff was professional and friendly. They even asked if we needed a fridge. They brought it to our room within 20 minutes. Very clean facility. Maid service great, and breakfast server and cooks just fine. Pool area was spotless. Location was good...just 3 blocks from town square. I highly recommend Arenas Del Pacifico.

    As a 3 stars hotel I was happy to find it clean and comfortable for my stay. The water pressure was excellent and the water was hot. The area is closed to the centre and ADO station. The breakfast was 120pesos, and it was ok, nothing special.

    We asked staff through the Booking app to schedule a taxi to the airport at 645am the next day. When we arrived, we confirmed the time and she said "200 pesos." Next.morning a new girl was at rhe front.desk. I reconfirmed with her that the taxi was coming. She had no idea and called for one. They arrived later than our request but luckily we still arrived in time but for $180 pesos according to the taxi driver. I don't care about the $20 peso difference really but it was surprising that it was a different price. Anyways... it was really just the original lady at the desk that seemed disinterested in helping us muxh and apparently didn't call for the taxi? Just a little frustrating as we definitely asked for it twice and could have missed our plane had they been much later.

    Room was great. Staff was aloof. Location superb. It was quiet which was wonderful. Bed was also comfy.
