Hotel La Ría Playas

The Pool

The Room. The security.

The staff is helpful and the room was okay a little small, windows could have been bigger to let in more light. Felt secure in the property which was good because the area can be sketchy at night. Good during the day nice beaches about a 15- 20 minute walk to the Centre of town.

The beds were EXTREMELY comfortable. Stayed in other places in Ecuador and these are by far the best. Clean comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. 1km from downtown area so very quiet.

Nothing. Perfect.

Service was very kind, room was clean and everything worked just fine, breakfast was plenty and very tasty

Acces streets not to good

location and grounds were good. it is rated a 3 star and was definitely at the top for level

never got hot water but did not bother us

Everything was as expected. Nothing exceptional, but nothing bad.

Shower was cold, tough or restricted entries. I assume this was because of security. So better to be secure than easy entry.

The hotel and the staff were amazing.

This is NOT a town for tourists. The food and water is very sketchy. We were super mindful of our food choices, there were a lot that weren't a person in a hut making food with dirty facilities. We still ended up with severe food sickness. We ended up seeing a doctor at the airport and when we told him what town we were in he said it's not good to go there. It also wasn't very safe. You can't carry a bag or you could get robbed. We walked the beach one night at sunset, lots of trash on the beach, and ended up back after dark. They had locked up the hotel tight and we had to ring a bell. They said you shouldn't be out here it's very dangerous. We wish we had known all of this before going.

The hotel is on the beach. Rooms are clean and modern.

Quantity of breakfast was rather small.

clean, comfortable, helpful staff

swimming pool is tiny, too small to swim in.towels very small.

Clean, safe, close to beach.Good breakfast.Everything you need.Staff helpful

A bit of a walk to find restaurants to eat in evening. This was nice in the day as quieter beachPerhaps a little lacking in character

it was steps from the beach and had A/C plus price was good.

you can hear everything from other rooms plus the internet was horrible!

Fantastic staff, very attentive and professional. The beach access and the outdoor facilities are beaitiful. The view from the balcony in the room was great.

The rooms are very small, it is hard to have more than 2 people inside them. Also, the towels are tiny and not good to take down to the beach if needed. I didn't think it was necessary for the hotel to charge an additional $2 per extra towel you request, it feels like a normal necessity that doesnt need an extra charge.

The staff was great Very clean rooms. Definitely a place to go to if you just want to relax, decompress, unwind and want a private beach. The Ceviche from the man with a cat on the beach was AMAZING!!

This wasn't a place that you could walk anywhere to. Simply a place to relax peacefully.

Very clean and bright, pool and oceanfront to nice beach. Shopping mall close, close to downtown. Good value for money

Tiny room, just enough size to squeeze around the double bed. Comically there was a desk.

All in all an average facility. I had a run-in with the night manager who refused to give me a top sheet (they do the thing where the duvet-cover is supposed to be the sheet). She insisted she must report why an extra sheet is needed and didn't think my reply "because a guest would like one" was sufficient. Maybe there's a rash of sheet-stealing in Playas, I couldn't say.

Location, staff, breakfast, beachfront.

I could feel the mattress springs on my back

Liked the service and attention of staff. Breakfast was good. Right on the beach.

No towels for the pool. Small towels in the room. Surrounding area not pleasant.

Property was very clean. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. The staff was attentive to our needs especially Rosie one of the servers. From beers to coffee to snacks she was always there. The kids enjoyed the pool and the beach was a short walk away. We couldn’t ask for anything more.

The only issue was the WiFi connection was not very good. The signal will sometimes be weak then it would disconnect sporadically.

Nice location, the room was nice as well as the area outside with the swimming pool, the staff was very friendly and the breakfast was good too. The room is not that big but everything is clean and comfortable.

The hotel is not well soundproofed and you can hear a lot of noise from the neighboring rooms.

breakfast, music, outside terrace

dinner, room view, little room, closed window
