Gringo Gulch Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Gringo Gulch, Puerto Vallarta

"Excellent service, best location, great value! Would like a little better bedding which is an affordable upgrade ☀️"

"Staff were all helpful and happy. Breakfast lunch and Dinner were all fresh at the buffet. Plentiful choices and the quality was top notch. The Steak house, Krystal and the Elite Restaurants were all high end food."

"Yes"

"So many great eating options. Lots of sunny and shaded areas to lounge. Entertainment every evening. The resort allowed you to be as relaxed or busy as you wanted to be. Large areas for kids and adults alike. We would definitely look at a RIU resort again for our vacation."

"The food poor quality, the staff disappointed, the events without any guidance, poor terrible expensive"

"Did a 5-nights at Los Arcos. Overall, a great option if you value location & beach over a full luxury all-inclusive. Pros: Friendly staff, amazing location, great beach, solid food Cons: Limited amenities, not fully all-inclusive, unreliable Wi-Fi, little pool shade We usually stay at 5-star resorts up north, but tried the Romantic Zone for a change—& it was worth it for the price. The hotel is smaller but has everything you need. There are 3 connected pools; hours are 10am–10pm, but you can grab chairs earlier. Shade is limited at the pool & umbrellas go quickly. The beach is the highlight—staff set up chairs & umbrellas from 7am & are attentive all day. Drink service at both the beach & pool was always quick. Food was better than expected, especially the fresh pasta/seafood station. All-inclusive only covers the buffet; other restaurants cost extra (you get 1 free dinner at Agave every 5 nights). But Plenty of great spots nearby. Wi-Fi didn’t work most of our stay, which was frustrating. The staff truly stood out—Pablo & Emilio on the beach, Omar at the bar, Filipe serving nonstop, & Silvester at the hot station all went above & beyond. Location is unbeatable—20 mins from the airport, steps from the Malecón, shops, bars, & a Saturday market. We felt very safe exploring. If you’re looking for an activity-packed, luxury all-inclusive, this probably isn’t the place. But if you want a great beach, unbeatable location, friendly staff, & freedom to explore - try it out!"

"Everything was great. Our family had a really good time."

"Had a great time here....beach side beds were where we spent our days and it was great, food and drinks were good. Made to order omelettes in the morning were the best!!!"
