The room was way too small, the bathroom wall was peeling off, and in comparison to other places, the price was a bit too high for such a small room. Oh, and the noise was so bad. It was Sunday, so I was sure people wouldn't stay up until late, but they proofed me wrong. If you're planning to get a good night's rest, I don't recommend staying here on the weekend, even if it is Sunday.

The restaurant was very nice and the fact that it was right in front of the beach was awesome. The staff was super nice, and they let my baby brother take a nap there even though he wasn't staying there, which talks worlds about their hospitality.

When we extended our stay, we had to move rooms and wifi was non-existent in there which was frustrating. Be prepared for very loud music until about midnight, especially Fri and Sat nights, but it didn't really bother us as we were awake.

Great location and decent rooms. Request room 306 (the one in their pics with the sea view) if you want a nice view ✌🏼 Beds and pillows are clean and comfortable. Included breakfast is fine and has nice views on terrace. WiFi is good in communal areas and also in our first room.

The noise of the bar.

the wifi is fast and it only works in the corner of the room. the bar drinks are expensive. the beach has cheaper drinks from their vendors. there was no tv and the room is really tight. I wish they would expand their wifi though.

I really loved the area it was located in. right in front of the beach and the best restaurants in Salinas. the property it self was beautiful and the wifi does work really well but only on one corner. they are respectful of the music volume and its right smack In the middle which is great.

the wifi did not work in my room and is really noisy at night

Great location, clean rooms and the bar is a great place to have a few drinks

The place was quite noisy, and you could hear not only the other guests outside the door (there was a thin window sepataring the hall way) the bar was blasting music until late in the night. The breakfast was very basic, and the restaurant one of the most expensive in all of Salinas.

Centrally located Chescos might be the best low budget hotel on the entire southwest coast of Ecuador. The room was spacious enough, the shower had hot water and the staff was friendly. The A/C worked like a charm. The location was superb, right next to the beach.

we would have appreciated filtered coffee as appose to instant coffee Nescafe , as we are in Ecuador and they have excellent coffee , breakfast was average , solution could have been to have butter and jam with the bread ,

the location was great and the service at the reception by Adrian was excellent , he was very helpful

We booked on booking.com and were overcharged when we arrived at the hotel.We went to the restaurant for dinner the service was terrible very rude waitresses and the burgers were absolutely terrible.

Great location clean rooms

We missed having the shared fridge for guests, so weren't able to store a couple of necessary food items for my husband's dietary needs. For this reason, we ate breakfast at other venues because there were not enough choices for my husband to have a good breakfast given his dietary needs. No problem as there is no shortage of breakfast places very close by, or even the mile-walk to Common Grounds for more expensive fare when desired. Our room was supposed to be cleaned every other day but was only cleaned on day 2. Otherwise, we have always found the location and value of Chescos to work for us.

Check-in / check-out was easy and the staff was friendly and helpful during our five-day stay. The room was cleaned once and clean towels / TP were available upon request. We enjoyed the suite, spending lots of time in the extra space with the sliding glass door wide open to enjoy the sights and sounds of the beach. The four flights of stairs were no burden for us. We always enjoy the upstairs open-air bar/restaurant area and one of the reasons we always stay here.

Centrally located but rather noisy at night.

Expect it to be loud. Really loud on weekends. But hey! It's in the heart of Salinas!

Fully in the heart of Salinas, directly at the beach. I liked the style of the hotel and the nice attention of the staff. The room was spacious with seaside view (costs quite a bit more, but worth it).

I was perfect if a kettle or samovar for hot water would left in the rooms area.

Very nice place. The sleeping in front of the beach was a great experience.

Bar was overpriced despite being told guests get a discount. Shower water was not always hot. Not the most social of places - but perhaps that was me.

Helpful check in process. Nice clean simply room with comfy bed. Decent location by the beach walk. The bar was nice and busy with good staff.

The location is right on the malecon in Salinas so that is a definite plus. The staff were really nice and made me feel welcome. The restaurant downstairs and the resto bar upstairs were also very good and had helpful staff. this was my third time staying there and each time I went, they had improved something.

Stayed in August 2022

Our room didn't have all the lights working, I think they need to increase the size of the portions of the juices and drinks, also always have fresh fruit and more options for juices.

It's close to the beach, the menu is different, mostly they don't offer seafood. The staff was nice and helpful.

For what i paid and the proximity to the beach I thought it was an amazing deal

we were at ground level so no view of the ocean but it was an economical room and there was the option of going to the bar for the great view.

-room was really clean and well thought ( many places to plug the electronics, hooks to hang clothes ) -right in front of the beach , where all the restaurants and shops are. -staff was helpful to give us recommandations. -there is one kayak free of use, it was nice to have a free activity -warm shower and a/c in the room

The location, next to the beach. Nice open area upstairs.

Old on site was quite expensive, but you didn’t need to eat there.

Excellent location on the beach front, even though there was a bar it wasn’t noisy at night. Staff friendly. Great price for location. The ice cream was really tasty.

Stayed in July 2021

It was very noisy, could here every single step on the hallway outside my room.. I wouldn't blame it on the hotel as much as other guests.. But they could have more strict policy on being SILENT out side the rooms.

The value, you get exactly what you pay for. The restaurant, bar! 👍🏻👌🏻
