Diamond Rock Vacations from $1,012

The room had great air conditioning but our safe didn’t work so we ended up getting the master key, our toilet wouldn’t flush for the first part so we had to get maintenance as the door to the bathroom knob kept coming off.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, nice pools, is quiet and relaxing is a good place to stay and enjoy,wish the breakfast can have more variety

The resort is small and very clean. They said it was busy but it was not crowded, no issues with dinner reservations or spa bookings. No problem getting beach loungers, umbrellas or pool chairs or cabanas. The staff was kind and some spoke english. The room was comfortable and the air conditioner worked well. The bed was comfortable. Our biggest issue was with food. There is one buffet, with short hours. There are two restaurants to make reservations. Neither was stellar and the food was hit or miss as to whether it came out hot, warm or cold. The menus are fairly similar, with mostly the same offerings. The desserts were horrible. The snacks available during the day consisted of popcorn, chili beans, really bad pizza, fishsticks, dry beef empanadas and chicken tacos which were like taquitos. We stayed pretty hungry and there is one expensive grocery store, at the end of the beach. I can't speak for the diving. They only had one guy at the beach and this is their high season. We never saw kayaks available. The vendors were present but not annyoying. The beach is gorgeous but the dive boats are parked out front, at all times. I never saw one go out, but they must have. I chose this resort for the good food reviews, but i did not find them to be adequate. If you can survive on cerviche, though, you might be ok. Check in and check out were excellent, as was the shuttle to and from the airport.

It was a 5 star stay

Arca is an intimate beachfront property. The staff is so welcoming. Everything for check in to check out was excellent. We can’t wait to return!
