ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT PROPERTY! I took my 2 daughters to the Villa del Arco for their college spring break and we absolutely loved our stay. Let me start out by saying I have stayed at literally hundreds of 5 star-resorts around the world (I travel in my occupation). Here is my assessment of the Villa del Arco: SAFETY 10/10 - never even crossed my mind and felt safe 24 hours a day. STAFF 10/10 - the best I have seen from the lobby, pool, maintenance, restaurants, etc. Let me single out 2 in particular: MARINO and ALBERTO in El Patron Restaurant. I hope you get to experience their patronage because they are two of the finest gentlemen I have ever met. RESTAURANTS 10/10 - all were magnificent, but our favorite was of course, El Patron. PROPERTY/CONDITIONS 10/10 - Immaculate and constantly cleaning and maintaining the grounds, elevators, pool chairs, lobby, bathrooms, etc. The grounds are very pretty and like I said.....clean. Never saw an insect of any kind the entire week. SHOPPING 10/10 - nice big market on property for odds and ends and the marina is a short walk down the beach, quick cab ride, or fun cheap water taxi. TRANSPORTATION 10/10 - hotel radios security to send up a vetted cab driver through their gates, identifies driver as legitimate and about a 3 minute ride to the marina and very affordable. CONVENIENCE 10/10 - best location on the beach and next to many activities, rentals and water taxis. QUIET 10/10. Hope this helps you all. Book it, trust me!!.
