"Simple. The room was simple, and the staff was very friendly. We appreciated a good air conditioner, clean rooms, hot water. All the basics that are sometimes lacking. The breakfast is included and was nice. Again, simple, but nice. (Be sure to try the juices, they were amazing) "

"Arca is spectacular! The hotel is small, private and peaceful. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The location is excellent with the beautiful West Bay beach at your doorstep, a short walk to great snorkeling and a bunch of great restaurants and bars. However, the best food on the beach is at the Arca. The breakfast is amazing, and lunch and dinner offer lots of choices, salads, hamburgers or delicious fish dishes. But most all the staff are welcoming and friendly. They couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. Overall this is one of our all-time favorite hotels, and we recommend it without reservation."

"We were blown away by our upgrade to the Ocean One Villa condo's!! The place was perfect with friendly staff and amenities. The pool at the Villas was a welcomed surprise. Peacefully tucked away yet only a short walk to the beach, the main hotel and restaurant made it a perfect location. The bar right on the beach was spectacular. I highly recommend this place! "
