I've spent a lot of time looking at both Guayaquil and Salinas resorts. Would prefer
a resort right on the ocean which I know Salinas offers. How close is Guayaquil to
the beach? I can't seem to get that info. Thanks for your help

Hi there, I went to Guayaquil rent a car and drive up to Salinas, the ride was pretty fun and love the surroundings, Salinas offers many beach resorts one of them is Barcelo right on Salinas harbor or Punta Blanca I love the Barcelo nice view from the rooms an a crystal blue Pacific ocean, two swimming pools, spa, whirpool, clubs, buffets love all that nice time.
And on top of that a few blocks down you can rent your own Jet Sky for a few dollars and have a blast.

I know this is all about Salinas, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a good hotel in Playas. I am looking to get away from the crowds, and I was in Playas a couple years ago and loved it, but only made it a day trip. This time I would like to stay overnight. Any suggestions?
Regarding safety concerns, it is about the same as any other third world country. Not too dangerous as long as you use common sense.
