We got lucky when we requested the Rick Steves room. It's a basic double-bedded room with a large outdoor terrace that we used every evening as the sun set. (Too hot with direct sun during the day.) When choosing a room, note that terraces are large, but balconies are miniscule (Juliet size). The view is sublime on the edge of the cliff. Noise from the hallway or other rooms can be bothersome, but Arcos is generally quiet except for the inescapable church bells. Breakfast is included if you book directly, but it only consists of a toasted roll & spreads, OJ, & coffee/tea; more is available for additional charge, but we found it was sufficient. You will find yourself walking the same route around town if you're there more than a day, but the people are very friendly. Especially wonderful is Sofia at the front desk every afternoon & evening. She enjoys helping guests & always has a ready smile to light up the room. (I think she secretly enjoys practicing her English too.) There's not much to do in Arcos, so bring a book, buy some sweet goodies from the cloistered nuns next door through their lazy-susan, & consider this a vacation from your vacation. (We hired a driver to take us around Grazalema & Zahara for a half day.) Be sure to dine outdoors at the wonderful Jovenes Flamencos on the road into the upper town; no view except for people-watching, but the food is terrific.
