Puerto Vallarta wraps around some say, “the largest bay in Mexico,” Banderas Bay, and is south of the airport. Prospective places to stay are listed as miles from the airport. There are four zones and each zone has its own vibe. The Marina is about 1½ miles from the airport and golfers love this area. The Hotel Zone is about 3 miles from the airport and caters to those who like all-inclusive. The Centro/downtown Zone is about 4 miles from the airport and is more commercial. Last is the Romantic Zone, about 5½ miles from the airport. The last two zones are on the malecon. We wanted to be close to the tourist attractions, sample many different restaurants, and have a great place to walk and dine with no cars to grate on your ears, so we chose the romantic zone.
We booked Playa Los Arcos for eight days after reading many reviews. The price was $1,564 including airfare. In addition, the hotel charged us $24 for the shuttle from the airport and the cab ride back to the airport was 120 pesos or about $10. The hotel was on the beach near the beginning of the malecon and close to many restaurants. Each day we began the day sitting on chaise lounges in the sand under umbrellas or by the three pools at the hotel. Pretty hard to resist the ocean and the breaking waves of refreshing water. The air temperature hovered around 82 degrees.
