We had a great stay, room was comfortable. Great location, walkable to the malecon / centro. awesome staff; very pleasant & helpful, especially Ricardo. Restaurant was convenient, though lacked in service for our experience. There's lots of stairs, so the constant up n' down can take a toll. Overall, we do recommend this hotel and would return.

Miserable for price.

Website photos were deceiving. Exterior door was sliding door made of glass. Only exit/ entrance hallway was right near windows and doors. You could hear any one talkng as they passed by. Pool very small.only access was steep, long stairs.

We had a great stay at Arena Suites (Oct '23). We had the "Family Master" suite which had 2 bedrooms, a living room, a well-equipped kitchen / dining area and a beautiful porch overlooking the beach and the bay. The room was cleaned very well every morning by Elizabeth (fresh linens/towels and dishes were washed). The restaurant was super convenient and the food never disappointed. Our server was always Armando - super friendly and great English skills. The hotel sits on a hill, so there are quite a few steps to get from the street entrance down to the beach, and elevators are not available. Wasn't an issue for us, but could well be for others. There's a convenience store across the street that is open from 9a - 6p or so that had any last-minute snacks, medicine, groceries you might need, but the prices reflect the convenience (sunscreen was about 3x what you'd pay at a nearby pharmacy). The hotel sits on a very nice sandy beach (very few rocks) with good waves for body surfing, and only a hundred yards or so down the beach is the paved walkway that leads to the downtown area. You can walk from the hotel to the downtown restaurants in 10 minutes or so. Overall, it was a great experience and we'd highly recommend this hotel!

Walkable to everything

Clean, comfortable and good location. Easy walk to el centro and the malecon. Only downside was it could be noisy at times (this is a busy area). We would stay again for the convenience of the location.

amazing gem on the beach.

We stayed in the junior suite with jetted tub. The drawback is it was right above the pool, which can get noisy with kids during the day. The view is amazing. The kitchen is outdoors , well equipped. There are alot of stairs to get to your room, but the staff will help with your luggage. The restaurant , Madera serves excellent food and good drinks on the beach. We had great service with our waiter,Armando. You can get a massage on the beach right next door for $25 for 90 min. If you just want to relax and enjoy the beach, you would like it here. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely return.
