Family-friendly Hotels in Paracas

The breakfast does not have too many options. The hotel has a 24-degree heated swimming pool, and is suitable for guests with kids. The location is good and the hotel has a parking lot. The service is very good. It is very convenient to check in and out. Expensive, but good value for money.

Not really a 4 star type of place. Rooms are dated, with varying degree of functioning AC (and either way incredibly noisy) - first room we had did not have working AC. Staff however promptly gave us a new room with upgrade to ocean front view. WiFi decent in common areas, weaker/unreliable inside rooms. As everywhere in Paracas, there is a lot of wind - hotel offers aquatic activities like kayaking and sailing (!) for free, which we didn't get around to trying during our stay. Food was ok and generally good, but not really a 4 star resort type presentation or quality - breakfast in particular. The American Breakfast is one of the saddest plates of sunny side up eggs and very small serving og bacon we have ever seen. Buffet is ok, but doesn't have things like avocado and bacon available. Dinner was decent, we didn't have anything we didn't like, and dishes like ceviche, lomo saltado, risotto con lomo and mixed tequenos were highlights. Overall things tasted good, but don't stay here for the culinary experience. There's also no obvious way to get water bottles refilled anywhere on the property aside from in the very tiny and windowless ”gym suite”, where there's a water dispenser with some water in it on occasion. Rooms are as other reviewers have mentioned quite dated and as adult I would rate as 2/5, HOWEVER the beds were comfortable and our kids slept well in the massive, actual children's beds that we got when requesting cribs. That and the ability to close a bedroom door between the bedroom and living room (with cribs) make our overall room rating 4/5. Lastly, we liked the attentive staff, especially in the restaurant who arranged cake with lit candle for our 3yo for her birthday breakfast. Overall would rate 3/5, and recommend thinking of this more as a 3-3.5 star type place to set expectations.

Slightly surreal stay at the Aranwa Paracas as it was almost deserted. The hotel was undergoing renovation and all meals were served in the main bar, and the offering seemed to be reduced as a result. The service from all the hotel staff was excellent though, and the food was fine. Hopefully the renovation will eventually extend to the standard rooms because our bathroom was looking quite sorry for itself, more 3-star than luxury resort. The grounds are pretty stark - hopefully they will become more lush as the planting develops (we did see a pair of vermilion flycatchers!).

Absolutely amazing hotel. We had been travelling in the sacred valley and deserved a well earned rest. It was all it claimed to be on the website AND MORE! Yuela in reception was OUTSTANDING. Vanessa gave me one of the best massages I have ever had. Christopher the concierge efficient and kind and Manuel the driver, above and beyond the call of duty! Staying in a 5 star hotel in the middle of the desert was quite an experience. And I would highly highly recommend la hacienda.
