Paracas: Ballestas Islands & Reserve in One Day Experience
"The hotel is not what we were told. There were no covers on the windows, the pool is under construction. We were misled on this hotel. Very disappointing. The only saving grace was the nice ladies who brought the coffee in the morning. The hotel should not rent until the property is ready."
"The hotel has everything we needed. Not the ritz Carlton but also not that price.
It was clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful. Complementary breakfast was very relaxed with enough options to power us for the morning.
Note: it faces the beach but it’s a harbor town. The water in that section of the harbor, while nice to see, did not appear very enticing to swim. Pool was very clear and swimmable"
