Paracas hotellia

Plussat: All the staff was great. Very professional and always making sure we were happy and comfortable.

Plussat: Breakfast was great. Aquatic activities staff were fantastic and super friendly, accommodating, etc. reception and check in staff were very attentive and accommodating.

Miinukset: Pool closes at 6 pm, games and bike rentals ended at 5pm, but during summertime there is daylight until 7pm. There should be longer hours for activities and pool for adults at least.

Plussat: This is an excellent hotel in all respects. Excellent facilities, excellent staff, excellent attention to details. We very much enjoyed the stay.

Miinukset: Clearly not at any fault of the hotel, there is a very strong and unpleasant decay odor from seaweeds in the nearby sea, at least at the time period of our stay (December).

Plussat: Very efficient stuff, ready to resolve problems fast. In general nice, comfortable place.

Miinukset: The price for Peru is very high, for what I don’t see any reason taking in account that it’s not all inclusive hotel, almost no activities for adults. And the activities in thus type of the hotel and place would be highly welcome I guess.

Plussat: Good experience, nice and clean place. Very friendly and professional staff.

Plussat: The bedroom was nice but awful smell as soon as you opened the door to go outside the room. Breakfast has a lot of options.

Miinukset: There was an awful smell all over, we talked to the manager about it and he couldn't do anything about it since he explained this area tends to have a bad smell, we understood this but then they shouldn't have hotels with prices of 300USD per night if it smells this bad. We felt fooled, not worth it. Water circuit at the spa is not even included in the price. Nothing is amazing about this hotel to pay this much.

Plussat: I do love this place it’s exactly what you expect and more .. staff amazing ..

Miinukset: I think everything was great hijita inprove some more at the welcome front desk.. apart of that everything amazing!!

Plussat: Awesome pool facilities and activities for the kids. Breakfast was by far the best I’ve had in 4 weeks of good hotels throughout South America.

Miinukset: The smell - I know there’s nothing that can be done but it is very noticeable depending on the wind direction.

Miinukset: Personal of spa zone! Unprofessional, disloyalty and stupid!

Plussat: Evrything an amazing hotel beautifully designed.. The hghlight is the sailing to the Balistas island. They have a private dock and wonderfull boats see lions pinguins and a million birds

Miinukset: to leave

Plussat: Easily one of the top hotels in the PARACAS aerea. Close to what one can consider the Paracas "Boardwalk". Great staff and absolutely lovely pool area. Drinks were on point as was the food.

Miinukset: Very simple rooms

Plussat: Pretty much everything

Miinukset: Nothing. Had a great time

Plussat: Quite luxurious. Handy for boat trip from hotel pier.

Miinukset: Not much information about excursions.

Plussat: What an amazing hotel :) Staff very friendly & helpful. Excellent food. Nice tours. Don't hesitate to book this place ;)

Miinukset: /

Plussat: Great, location, facilities and staff.

Miinukset: Needing to book seperate rooms for a family of four was not great and also added to the cost. It would be great if they had more/some family rooms for the standard family of four.

Plussat: Wonderful welcome, friendly staff in every area. Great beds, nice facilities.

Miinukset: Nothing really, only thing would be nice to add robes.

Plussat: Amazing grounds, beautiful. Very friendly staff. Huge room with beatiful view

Plussat: Nice enough rooms but not what I expected for the price.

Miinukset: The place was full of families with small children that they did not supervise well. No separate pool or game area for the kids to enjoy away from adults trying to relax. Only one restaurant.

Plussat: The confort of the rooms, the cleanliness and the food

Plussat: The Doubletree in Paracas is a lovely oasis from the touristy vibe of Paracas proper. Our room was very spacious and comfortable with a private patio overlooking the ocean. We visited the town in the afternoon but quickly decided to return to the hotel and enjoy its amenities. The boardwalk in town is very touristy with pushy restaurant salespeople. In the morning, we enjoyed a long walk along the beach in front of the hotel passing several lovely beach cottages. When we returned, we had breakfast at the hotel. It was very tasty with a large variety of breakfast treats. The staff was friendly and very professional. We were even allowed a late check-out so we could clean up after our tour to Las Islas Ballestas.

Miinukset: We booked through booking.com but discovered we could have gotten a much better rate on the Hilton website. So, next time we'll book through Hilton.

Plussat: Great breakfast, a bit far from El Chaco, but taxis can take you there in less than 10 mins.

Plussat: Good place. Very clean rooms and bathrooms.

Plussat: The Pool

Miinukset: Problems with the warm water and water pressure

Plussat: Very friendly staff. Seems brand new. Pool area is nice if it is warm enough to use. Good hot water in the bathroom.

Miinukset: While the place seems brand new the beds were a bit stiff for me. The wifi only worked in the lobby. The TV was fuzzy.

Plussat: Hot shower

Miinukset: Breakfast was not located at the hotel but at the another building and the breakfast was awful, not even close to any basic standards. Swimming pool water was dirty, so did not tempt to jump in...

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Pictures in booking.com were false, deceptive. There was no breakfast and no pool.

Plussat: Nothung. It’s a rip off

Miinukset: Extremely expensive for what it is. Beds a horrible. Owners dogs out there heads through the window In the night the hotels water tank overflow falls into the inner yard 3-4 meter away from the windows. We changed hotel the other day and though we were in high season and guest a lining up the hotel did not want to refund us for the other nights already paid. They finally agreed thanks through yours website negotiations to refund one night. They said they could do this only by bank transfer. But they never did it. It’s a scam!!

Plussat: It was so good, but you offer like hotel, but It sa hostal so little.

Miinukset: Its so dirty, a hostel no a hotel Its not a Hotel.

Miinukset: No WiFi in the bedroom, only at reception No possible to close the toilet door Very small shower

Miinukset: The wet sauna was again out of order. We arrived at 10:30am and watched as other families and couples who arrived after us, get early check ins but we had to wait until 3:20pm.

Plussat: This was a very clean resort. It is a block from the bus station and a short walk to the town. The town has a beautiful town square.

Miinukset: The two pools were 1.4 meters deep.

Plussat: Spacious rooms, well maintained and clean. Good buffet breakfast

Miinukset: Not the hotel’s fault, but at times there was a disgusting smell coming from the sea, it was impossible to be outside the room

Plussat: Really nice space and staff

Miinukset: They have almost nothing for vegans for dinner. Not vegan friendly milk or anything. Took them 6 hours to get it, while the day before I was at a 3 star hotel and they got it for me within 2 minutes. Hm...as a 5 star hotel they should step up their game.

Plussat: Fantastic hotel. Staff is beyond helpful and polite. Particular pier is a plus, where boats come to pick you up before going to the Marina where the lines are huge! Restaurant is good, as well as the bar and spa. It has it all!

Miinukset: Water from the shower runs to the floor of the bathroom (a lot of it). They should take a look at it.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly

Miinukset: Value for money. Food, beverages and facilities below average

Plussat: There was nothing that you wouldn’t like about the property, everything was awesome, tidy and nice. 1st class atention and staff.

Plussat: A very good place to go with kids. Very clean and awesome staff, they were very kind.

Plussat: Hotel workers were amazing buffet was great pool was phenomenal

Miinukset: downstairs smelt a little off

Plussat: Swimming pool is big and clean. Breakfast is OK. Receptionist manage our check-in at 2:30pm instead of 3pm. Nice wiev from the room.

Miinukset: Hotel is outdated. Definitely not a 4 star hotel. Staff at the check-in and in the restaurant was speaking mostly Spanish just a little bit of English. Bathroom tap were dirty. Not polished for weeks? Food in the restaurant was mediocre. Nothing memorable.

Plussat: Well built and run hotel in Paracas. Great location close to the small town, good food, comfortable and clean rooms (even with two english speaking TV channels!). Biggest pool I’ve ever seen, plenty of loungers, towels easily available, highly recommended.

Miinukset: Can’t fault the place!

Plussat: The location was nice,

Miinukset: The bathroom looks old, had a water leak and the shower is uncomfortable to use

Plussat: the pool was great

Miinukset: room wasn´t that clean, i asked for extra pillows and staff never brought them... also tv wasnt working and they never came to fix it.

Plussat: + Right next to the Port (to go to islas ballestas), which is very handy + Nice breakfast

Miinukset: - very thin wals - personnel from bar not friendly. Too bad

Plussat: Great location, on the beach and quiet. Great pool. The hotel arranged all our local trips without having to be cheated by various merchants. Prices were all posted.

Miinukset: Beaches in this area are not really good for swimming.

Plussat: Very nice hotel for familys and children, excellent location: Bus-Terminal and Boat-Terminal in walking distance, promenade with many shops and restaurants too.

Miinukset: Slow and inefficient check-inn. Very long waiting times in the restaurant. > 30 moskitos in the room at arriving time

Plussat: Sun, swiming pool.

Miinukset: Front desk info, they didn't inform us, about hotel facilities, we didnt use them, nither about near places to eat or to go for fun. Mosquitos, we xan hear all the conversations in the next room also

Plussat: Good location and breakfast.

Miinukset: Reception hardly spoke in English. Wi-Fi didn’t work. Lot of mosquitoes. Expensive hotel.

Miinukset: loud at night with music playing and then loud in the am with 5:30 am construction on site.

Plussat: The view from our room on the 4th floor was amazing. The food at the restaurant was amazing, you should try the meats on the stone. Staff was good, and they even help you find tours to Ballestas Islands and Paracas Reserve.

Plussat: It is a lovely calm place to relax took my husband for his 50th birthday and staff was very helpful

Plussat: Sea view

Miinukset: Clean and comfortable.

Plussat: This hotel is situated in a quiet part of Paracas only 5-7 minute walk from the main shops and restaurants and just across the road from the beach. The room was clean with plenty of space and the same for the bathroom with hot powerful shower. The buffet breakfast was fantastic with plenty of choice. The staff were friendly. They kept our luggage after check out until we were ready for our next transfer. Pool area small which could have been a problem for sun beds if the hotel was busy, fortunately we were there at low season.

Miinukset: The pool itself is not maintained i.e cleaned of flower petals/ bird feathers etc The pigeons can be a nusiance.

Plussat: This place is fine. The staff was pleasant but not outstanding. The location is walkable to most of town, but far enough out it felt far walking back after dinner in the dark. The wifi is strong and the pool is a nice perk, though small.

Miinukset: We had a group of three friends and the only room that worked for us was a 6-person bungalow, so it was plenty of space, but too much for us and thereby too expensive for what we needed. The bungalow next to us (they are VERY close to each other) had a lot of guests who all drank and talked and partied all night long and our bungalow was paper thin walls so we could not sleep at all.

Plussat: Ruth at the front desk was a pleasure to work with! Ruth was extremely helpful! She was polite, professional, and always had a beautiful, sincere smile on her face!

Plussat: The hostel is integrated with the Cruz del Sur bus so it's easy to check in. The hostel provides full guided to to Isla Ballestas and the national reserve. Easy walking distance to all restaurants and the bay.

Miinukset: A bit noisy and my room had no hot water.

Plussat: Rooms were huge with covered outdoor private patio.

Miinukset: Everything was great!!!

Plussat: Clean. Nice patio

Miinukset: WiFi only worked outside the room.

Plussat: I’d like to especially highlight Fernando’s service! We were amazed by his friendliness and passion for his job. Thank you very much! (And he does speak German fluently.)

Plussat: We enjoyed the terrace, clean shower and big bed.

Miinukset: Nothing concrete.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: They didn't clean the room in 3 days. They said in Paracas never rain but we got the only raining day in the year (light rain) and when we go back to the room water was everywhere and not only few drops. Our backpacks, that were on the floor, were totally wet and also our stuff. Lights went out and also water. You can't even use toilette. When I asked the owner for solution he said it was natural problem and all the rooms have the same problem! I had to push water outside the room with my flip flop and we slept with all our stuff on the bed surrounded by water and with no light and water. Worst Place Ever!

Plussat: Good location, friendly staff. Cruz del Sur buses stop here. They also provide tours to Islas Ballesteros and Paracas national park.

Plussat: ?!... I guess it is quite. They have a balcony with a good view at the top, but there is no one there!! It was dark.

Miinukset: This is not worth the money. If you get there with Peru Hop, just have them reserve a room at Los Frayles Hotel, this is a much better place than their Hostel. If not, stay some place else even if you have to pay a few dollars more.

Plussat: It was good for a one night stay - we were lucky to have one of the rooms that have a view on the "square" and ocean. Everything was fine (comfort, cleanliness, location), nothing special. The breakfast at the hotel across the street was good.

Miinukset: A bit noisy, the staff wasn't very welcoming, you can't open the door to the hostel yourself (always need someone to open it for you from the inside), narrow stairs that made it hard to carry up our suitcases.

Plussat: There is a lovely terrace overlooking the town and the water.

Plussat: Everyting was fine, good breakfast, big room after we changed but lack off service minded staff.

Miinukset: The breakfast was served at an other hotel, nicer but with unfriendly staff. Generally the service was bad, first we got a room not being what I had booked and then one with what was called a ocean view but it was more seeing out over a courtyard.

Plussat: The breakfast was really good. The place is well located and the room was comfortable!

Plussat: The room we got after a lot of discussions was nice and had the balcony that appears to be standard when looking at the pictures on booking.

Miinukset: During Check-in we were told that we get a room with double bed even though we reserved two separate beds. Once we took a look at the room we refused to move in as it was a tiny, dark chamber facing in the hotel hall. After some discussions we were shown another room, which had two separate beds and the indicated sea view an balcony. Apparently they only have four rooms with Seaview and balcony, while all other rooms have windows to the inside.

Plussat: Very close to the beach, nice and clean, and the breakfast across the street was a great added bonus. Excellent price!

Miinukset: This is not the hostel’s fault but the dogs barking all night, the car alarms being set off constantly and the very early roosters were all pretty loud. You would probably get used to it all if you were there a number of nights.

Plussat: The place is really close to the main promenade on the waterfront. Rooms are average and spacious, normal bed, bathroom is clean and tidy. Breakfast was prepared quickly, very delicious. Staff is very nice and polite.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly. Staff was helpful with suggestions on activities and food and helped to coordinate tours of both the reserve and island. Room was clean and a decent size for the value.

Miinukset: Showers could use a little more cleaning.

Plussat: No frills but beautifully clean. Central location( but pretty much everything is central in Paracas!) Friendly staff. Good breakfast in room on top floor, with excellent views

Miinukset: Our room was at the front overlooking the road which, despite being unsurfaced was surprisingly noisy. A room at the back of the hotel might have been better,

Plussat: The receptionist reached out to us about day trips and excursions, and booked one for us, which was nice of them. However after we paid for the service in cash, we never got the change back. The tour coordinator didn't have change when we paid so she said she'd give it back later, which she never did.

Miinukset: This hotel turned out nothing but disappointment. When we checked in our room, there was no water. It took the staff about 40 minutes to fix the water. After they "fixed" it, our room still had no cold water, only scolding hot (the toilet was not flushing without cold water either). So we had to ask for another room. It was our idea to switch the room, the staff kept insisting on us waiting instead of coming with an alternative solution for the water situation. Yet the new room had issues, like toilet seat and tap not being attached properly. With all this ordeal, we missed our dinner with our tour group (initially we were told fixing the issue will take 5-10 minutes). Yet the staff apologized only after we asked for a discount. As an apology we were offered two small bottles of water instead of a discount. When we insisted on a discount, a mysterious service fee appeared on our bill, which the staff told us they are waiving to apologize for the inconvenience. There was no mention about this fee at the time of booking or when we checked into the hotel. A couple of words about the service: we were told that breakfast starts at 7:00 a.m. Because we had to leave at 7:55 a.m for the Bellestas Island tour (which the staff booked for us), we showed up for breakfast at 7:05 a.m.. Yet, there was nobody in the dining area. The staff only showed up at 7:20 a.m. to start cooking breakfast. We had to make our own breakfast in order to be on time for the tour, so I am not sure which service fee was applicable in this case. As for the day tour they booked for us, it was good, but like I mentioned earlier, we've never got the change after paying in cash. I do not recommend staying at this place.

Plussat: Manager and staff were friendly

Miinukset: Hotel is run down and many things in need to repair. Windows don't seal properly when closed or no windows at all in bathrooms. This leads to a big mosquito problems in many rooms. We left after the first night because of the mosquito's. Also cleanliness is low. Our shower head had mould all over it! Advised manager of situation and he called the owner but this is a re- occurring issue he stated. Would NOT recommend this property as price is way to expensive for what is received. We ended up moving to another hotel down the street for a little more money and way better property...Hotel Emancipador.

Plussat: The woman who made us breakfast was very kindly and helped a lot to make the simple breakfast very enjoyable Fresh juice and eggs for breakfast Host printed our flight tickets for us

Miinukset: Very noisy (from other rooms, harbour, street - honking the time, dogs) Hole over the door instead of window between room and bathroom (some rooms directly to the staircase) Linnen to short for bed Curtains did not block out the light at all

Plussat: Great location. Walking distance from the Cruz del Sur bus stop & close to the waterfront

Miinukset: The room was so noisy, we could hardly sleep.

Plussat: Nothing! Disgusting noisy unfinished hotel. Staff are a disgrace and seem to charge what they like! I did not feel safe here due to their behaviour! Awful stay - worst of my life! Do not go here!

Miinukset: Everything! Do not book!

Plussat: Great location, beautiful pool and bar area. The place is super clean!

Miinukset: I was traveling with Peru Hop which offers discounted rooms. This hotel does not recognize Booking.com and would not honour Peru Hop discount. They open up their pool facilities to everyone in Pracas and other tour companies for a small fee, so it could get crowded with other tours not belonging to hotel. No air conditioning and small rooms.

Plussat: This is not even worth my time. DO NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY.

Miinukset: I disliked the unclean bathroom. I disliked the chickens crowing at 4am in the morning. I disliked the dodgy check-in process. I dislike the fact that we had no toilet paper in our bathroom. I could go on...and on...and on.....

Plussat: Quite and very clean

Plussat: Very central and the receptionist was very friendly, helpful, and went the extra mile for us.

Miinukset: Rooms could be a little bigger but that’s just “complaining” on a high level. Great place!

Plussat: The bed was big and comfortable.the views are amazing.The staff was very helpful and nice.

Plussat: The view is awesome. Possibly the only saving grace in an otherwise shady building.

Miinukset: where do i begin? For starters there was a gaping hole on the wall of the bathroom which exposed the plumbing of the building. There was another similar opening near the wash basin. There was no hot water available . The shower heads could do with a good scrub. There was a thread of water that came from the wash basin tap. Next the plug points were all broken or loose. There was no air con or even ceiling fan. There was a large floor fan. The plug of the fan was all bent and could not be inserted into the plug point or kept falling off or did not work. Finally we had to keep our bag against the plug to make it stay. I cannot imagine how one would be able to survive in that room during summer time. Also there is no elevator so if you have heavy bags good luck on your trek upstairs

Plussat: Great food and service.

Miinukset: Room was dirty. Hundreds of dead termites around and on beds. The entire front of the hotel was ripped up for work on the water main. Construction every morning and all day everyday. This wass just bad timing on our part but would have been good to know.

Plussat: The location was amazing. The staff was friendly. After a cold shower, they sorted it out zo after that it was fine. The rooftop terras.

Miinukset: It needs some TLC: the walls and ceilings really need a good clean or lick of paint. The curtains were dirty. The sheets were washed but had stains stil. The bathroom (faucet/sink) need an update. The doors could do with a better lock.

Plussat: Excelent restaurantu, good staff, great location.

Miinukset: A lot of mosquits in the room to fight during the night :-) But it is a part of adventure.

Plussat: Perfect location right on the shore. Good standard of the rooms

Miinukset: Pretty poor service both at reception and breakfast

Plussat: View

Miinukset: Breakfast was terrible Full of mosquitos coming in from a hole they made in the shower for a vent 4 flights if stairs to the room. TV had no sound and took 1 day to get a new set top to get it to work.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The reception on arrival did not speak English and could not see our reservation so he turned us away. Eventually gave us the key but was unable to give us any information regard breakfast, hotel facilities and any questions we had. When in the room, no hot water at all, no WiFi and bathroom had a very bad odour like sewage. Any time flashed the toilet or had a shower the bathroom would stick like static sewage waters were present.

Miinukset: not enough hooks or places to hang clothing, put things
