El Río Vacation Rentals

"This hotel was a mixed bag for us. The location was good - only a short walk to the beach and a few minutes from the airport. Despite being close to the airport, I didn't find the hotel too noisy. The room actually seemed pretty quiet. The other positives were the size of the room, the water pressure in the shower, and the breakfast most days was good. It was also great to have a guest laundry available. They do offer access to two beach chairs, but we did not take advantage of that as we found the other side of the beach more peaceful. On the flip side, our room had an unpleasant smell that hit you every time you walked into the room, the shower was open with glass only half way across the shower (had I known this in advance, I would have booked elsewhere as that is a huge hotel pet peeve for me) allowing water to get on the bathroom floor, and there was no fan in the bathroom. Given the ever present humidity, not having a fan in the bathroom was just ridiculous. The beds were okay, on the firm side, but the pillows offered no support. The front desk staff was mostly pleasant, but my husband did have issue with one person. Between the "resort" fee and the parking fee, there is an additional $68 per day. I don't feel like we got any value from a resort fee. Our son ended up being sick for part of our trip, so he did not join us for breakfast. Guests are not allowed to take any breakfast food out of the area, so we could not even fix him a plate and take it to our room."

"We stayed here for 2 nights before our cruise. It was honestly perfect for our needs. We arrived in the middle of the night and were still greeted with a smile. The room was not huge, but perfect for a family of 3 for a couple of nights. It was clean, comfortable and air conditioned. The bathroom was small but adequate. The pool area was great and my daughter enjoyed it. There was also a really nice terrace area upstairs. The hotel had a little “shop” and free coffee (a huge win for me!). Location is a quick walk to the beach. This is not a 5 star hotel but it was mostly 5 stars for us. The price was right, the people were amazing, the pillows were soft and we will definitely stay again if we get the chance to visit the area again."

"Pool is small but lication is amazing. "

"Clean and convenient hotel . I would stay here again. Hot water was lacking in the shower. "

"I loved the pool area. There was plenty of seating. "

"This place was beautiful."

"Complimentary brkfst was very much appreciated. The pool and hot tub were a nice option, even though the beach was only a 5 min walk away and usually preferred by most. We took advantage of the vouchers for chairs and umbrella everyday. The fitness room has nice equipment. "

"Wasn’t our first visit, won’t be our last! We love this resort. Perfect for couples and families. Has never been overcrowded or difficult to enjoy the property and amenities. Restaurants are solid. Coffee shop and market are amazing and super convenient. Rooms are great (both the bungalows and riserva). Love that the main pool is 24 hours. Beach access is easy and comfortable. If you book through Expedia, you’ll be charged an OTA fee. Ours was $117/day."
