We stayed 2 nights in this hotel and could not find fault with anything. The hotel appears to have been recently renovated and it is easily the cleanest and most modern looking hotel in town. Rooms are very tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. WiFi was unreliable in the room but the pool area was a great place to relax and... More

My fiance and I, and 2 friends traveled to this hotel in August 2011. We took a bus down to Ica, and then a sketchy cab from the the bus stop to the hotel. We arrived at this hotel late in the evening 11pm or so, and the door was locked. However after knocking, we were quickly let in. It... More

Our group paid a deposit online prior to checking in. The hotel claimed that a deposit paid online through a booking website goes to the "intermediary" and not them so we must pay the full room price. We never received our deposit back. The front desk was clearly being dishonest and trying to take as much money as possible. They... More

We stayed for 2 nights, the staff is very friendly and the rooms are very clean and spacious. The pool is a great place to relax and cool off in the hot sun. Only complaint is that the wifi is spotty at best. Couldn't get a connection in the room but had the best luck in the restaurant or by... More

We (couple) stayed there after traveling in Ecuador and Peru just to relax and visit some wineries. It was not the highlight of our trip and we also did not expect it would be (before we visited Machu Picchu, jungle, Quito etc. so no wonder that Huacacchino was not a highlight;))) but just a nice relaxing ending before flying back...

Even the hotel is not located at the frontside of the oasis it seemed to be the best place at Huacachina to me. Staff is excellent and great English speaking, the pool was clean and wonderful refreshing. Breakfast was great and the restaurant – not the cheapest – has open till late in the evening and served quite delicious food.... More

Beautiful hotel with a very clean pool and restaurant area. A tad on the expensive side, but everything seems to be here. rooms were very clean, large and very comfy beds. No AC, so rooms can get a bit stuffy and hot in the afternoon - however at night the ceiling fans are fine. The restaurant has a large selection... More

A little on the pricier side, but certainly more of a hotel than a hostel and the pool was great. Awesome to be surrounded by the dunes whilst cooling off in the pool and just a minutes walk to the oasis itself and restaurants and bars. Did the dune buggy with the hotel too which we were very happy with... More

We arrive not knowing what to expect but were greeted by efficient service and friendly staff. The rooms are very spacious comfortable and clean and ours above the restaurant had a nice view of the pool. Lunch at the restaurant was excellent and very cheap. We have the shared seafood platter from the 'chef's recommendation' part of the menu for... More

The hotel is nicely situated in the oasis. You can see the dunes in the hotel but not the water. Yet, the hotel is 3 mins from the water. It has good simple rooms. No TV and AC but nice hanging fan. It gets very cold at night anyways. The restaurant is nice so is the pool. The hotel itself... More
