Hotel La Ría Playas

Hotel La Ría Playas

10/10 Excellent
"Una experiencia extraordinaria, la playa literalmente está al pie del hospedaje y es súper tranquilo, el desayuno exquisito y la piscina es temperada. Se puede ingresar y salir a cualquier hora durante la estadía, en mi caso salí a comer por la noche y retorné en la madrugada y me recibieron sin ningún tipo de restricción al volver a ingresar. Impecable la limpieza y el hospedaje tiene una perfecta ubicación."
