We stayed at the Arca July 11th-16th, 2024. It was nice, small, pretty, quiet- how’d you’d expect boutique hotels. I’d give them 3.5/5 stars.
Pros: 24/7 security, attentive staff, quiet, chef available to cook (cooked our fish we caught from deep sea fishing), great location, pool is nice, they put buckets of water before your room so you can wash the sand off your feet, a nice breakfast is available.
Cons: Not all inclusive and only breakfast served. We felt infinity bay would have been a better choice. Our water heater was out for a couple days while we were there (they did fix it promptly). The WiFi is horrible hopefully you get a travel plan with your phone otherwise good luck using it. The hotels taxi is EXPENSIVE. I’m talking $80 to go 10 minutes down the road to a restaurant. Ask them to call you a taxi we paid $30 total.
In all it was a nice hotel however, for the price we paid, we wish we went with an all inclusive resort.
