Top Marcara Hotel Reviews

Cuesta Serena Boutique Hotel

Cuesta Serena Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Cuesta Serena Boutique Hotel was nothing short of magical. Perched high with breathtaking views of the Cordillera Blanca in the Callejón de Huaylas, the landscapes are unreal — every sunrise over the mountains was a postcard. The property itself is immaculate. Spotless rooms decorated with beautiful Peruvian textiles, so much attention to detail, and incredibly comfortable. You can feel how much love goes into maintaining this place. What truly sets Cuesta Serena apart is the service. The hospitality was excellent and genuinely above and beyond. The owner-managed team made us feel like family from the moment we arrived, anticipating every need. And the food and drinks — AMAZING! Fresh, delicious, beautifully presented Andean cuisine. The chef's dinners on the terrace were a highlight, and the cocktails were perfect after a day of tours. Speaking of tours, they organize fantastic excursions — Laguna 69, Llanganuco Lakes, everything was seamless and well planned. If you are visiting Huaraz/Anta, this is THE place to stay. We will absolutely be back!"

"I had a very pleasant say! Staff was very courteous and helpful. The neighbourhood is quiet, clean and there is a police station 100m away so I felt very safe during my visit. The only thing I would say is that the walls were quite thin especially around the bathroom so you could hear the street dogs barking outside at night and other guests showering & talking when you were in there. Overall, it’s one of the best options in the area."
