No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.
When is Playa El Ruso least busy?
Google visit patterns put the quietest hour at Thu 5pm and the busiest at Sat 5pm.
Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
