The hotel is very nice and just a short walk to the heart of town. Our room was clean and bright with a nice balcony. We enjoyed listening to the ocean as we imbibed in a few local beers on a beautiful starry night.

The bed was comfortable and the setting was very peaceful and quite conducive to a good night's sleep. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and delicious.

We arrived in darkness and left just after dawn, so we didn't really get to experience the hotel.

From the outside, they look like nice apartments and the rooms are pretty decent. White walls, tile floors, small beds. Bathroom area has seen better days, but it's not outright disgusting. The shower/toilet are separated from the sink which is nice for multi-tasking roomates. The shower has no tub and the curtain is flimsy and ineffective. The several pubic hairs I found when I turned around were gross, to say the least, but not wholly unexpected.

If you end up on the second/third floors, you'll have to carry your luggage up some very narrow stairs. The balconies are quite nice though, and hearing the water at night was a pleasant experience.

Chances are you, you'll be eating your meals at this hotel. At dinner: If you order a la carte, you will be charged a small fee for silverware. If you order a prix fixe, you won't have to pay this fee. I ordered the plastic steak set and ended up having horrible stomach problems for the next few days which really put a damper on my trip. Breakfast was probably better than most of the places we stayed at. A wide array of fruits, juices, and yogurt. Be wary of what you eat, though!

This modern hotel had pretty standard rooms that appeared well maintained with firm, new-looking beds. Most rooms had small balconies that faced ocean-side. The hotel was only a 5-minute walk to the main section of town. The restaurant serves a good breakfast buffet - included in the room price - to get you started before tackling the Ballestas Islands or the Reserve. Many of the hotels in the area seemed outrageously overpriced for what you got and where you were. This was a good deal - about $60 - $70 for a room and breakfast.

Spent one night to see Paracas national park and Islas Ballestas. The hotel is reasonable. Clean, close to the Cruz del Sur bus stop and the boat quey. The town is very small anyway. Islas Ballestas is a must see. Paracas is interesting but not essential. No more than one night is necessary. There is really nothing else to do.
