Arico el Nuevo accommodation from AU$267

The rooms are large and very comfortable. The complex is beautiful. We went for the preferred club experience and found it good value. Free drinks and snacks from 1.30pm until 7pm, plus access to a lovely seaview area with bali beds. We will be back.

We arrived late and had already decided to upgrade to Royal Level, which late at night proved a little troublesome. We tried again in the morning and after a small discussion with reception decided to stay in Deluxe Room (which was great) and just upgraded to the RL service which we thought was well worth it. The hotel did not feel overcrowded as there is plenty of space around the 5 pools. The food in the buffet was very good with a very large selection however we did feel the Al a carte in the RL could have been a bit more special as some of the food was very dry from being left under the heat lamps. The sushi was great and the Breeze bar menu very good. Included as part of RL. Loved the B Lounge for a night cap. Entertainment was OK. Holiday rep standard.

Fantastic holiday. Complex clean, staff all friendly and plenty of restaurants within a max 20 min walk away. We stayed 12 days and didn’t eat at the same place twice. We managed the walk to los abrigos in 15 minutes with a 7&10 year old. We used taxis for beach days, water park and money world. Our 2 bedroom apartment was immaculate and plenty of space. 2 bathrooms, aircon throughout and a lovely sea view. Wouldn’t hesitate to return and already looking at next year!
