The four decorative stone arches, known as Los Arcos del Malecón, are a well-known landmark in Puerto Vallarta, often considered as recognizable as The Boy on the Seahorse statue. Originally brought from a Guadalajara hacienda in 1970 for a summit between Mexican President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz and U.S. President Richard Nixon, they were destroyed by Hurricane Kenna in 2002. A replica, commissioned by the municipal government of Zapopan and sculpted by Martín Distancia, was completed in December 2002. The arches are a popular cultural and artistic site, frequently used as a backdrop for performances and events along the Malecón.

An older hotel in the romantic district. A bit crowded and noisy for my liking but it’s a good location on the beach. Good for morning walks. Rooms are ok with cold AC but very noisy if you are facing the pools. They hold events when groups are there and loudspeakers and music are the norm from early morning on. The staff were attentive but some of the reception staff can be rude and inconsiderate but make a fuss and a manager will jump on the case quickly. Will probably try a different hotel next time.

One of the most photographed structures in Puerto Vallarta. It's a monument that consists of four arches and five columns, that's about it. Located along the Malecon, it's a popular place for photos and a good landmark for meetings. The monument itself is not particularly impressive or interesting. Once you snap your photo you'll be done with it, and probably never look at it twice again.

Truthfully, the outside look of the church is much more beautiful than the inside. The inside looks quite ordinary although it has a a lot of 24k gold decorations. It’s ironic that they spent so much gold building a church which represents the “love” of the god while you always see some poor people begging for money right outside of it..

Our favorite vacation spot, right in the middle of everything you need in Mexico. Great food, friendly people, the beautiful beach. Don't stay at the so called fancy resorts by the airport, go to where the locals live and experience Mexico, not just another fancy hotel. It's safe, it's cheaper and it's simply amazing ❤❤❤

Staff ate friendly courteous and efficient. All inclusive meals were ok and the Chef catered to my allergies. Rooms were comfortable, wifi was good, pools were very nice, views great and the sandy beach was great. An employee sets up the chairs and umbrellas. We recommend.
