From the remoteness of Peru’s Andes Mountains to the unexplored territories of its Amazon rain forest, the country holds a mysticism all its own. It’s the motherland of the Inca civilization and home to Machu Picchu, alpaca products, and more than 4,000 types of native potatoes.

The Balneario Nuevo Paracas is in front of the only Marine Nature Reserve of Paracas. This resort has the preference of tourists and enjoys sun all the year. For this reason we offer fully furnished and equipped apartments, in addition to all the social and recreational services that guarantee safety and comfort of our renters, now becoming the best choice of private beaches in the south of Peru.
This place although nice, clean and on the ocean is not a hotel so don't expect to find any soap, tp or towels like in a hotel. The owners of these apartments rent them to people from Peru that speak Spanish and know their way around. Water pressure is non existent, the beach is not nice, big waves, not for small kids, although it has tiny pools, more for cooling off (3 feet deep) than for swimming. There is also a big pool in the club house but not even in the Summer the water warms up. Ideal for someone that likes adventure because it is a bike ride from a national park, the buildings are isolated from the rest of Paracas, like 10 buildings in the middle of the desert. On the other hand, Paracas is worth the visit

Nice hostal located 3 blocks from the main square with all you need to pass a great time in Cusco
I feel a little guilty knocking this hostel as the owner was so lovely but how it’s passable to leave the rooms as cold and tired as they are is beyond me. My room was at the rear where it’s just a metal roof and gaps around the window/door letting out any warm air you might have generated huddled in your coat in bed! Even sleeping in multiple layers under the heavy blankets is still uncomfortable. I asked to have a heater but was advised this isn’t possible due to the room rate but would have been willing to pay for more heating. They have two big gas patio heaters in the communal area but these aren’t used so there is nowhere at all to sit and defrost. To surely provide at least a hot water bottle or hairdryer would be a cheap way of tackling the cold a bit. To top things off the maid left my window open the 2nd day so came back to an even colder room. Room was very basic. Ceiling was peeling, gaps between walls and floors were crumbling, only one power socket high up on the wall with a dodgy extension cable, lights flickered before coming on and random posters of ghandi, John Lennon and Steve Jobs stare down on you in bed. The bathroom felt dark and dirty with a dark red sink and toilet and dark tiles. Soap was unwrapped so unsure if it’s a previous guests. Shower curtain looked years old with mould. Shower hard to adjust, is either boiling or freezing. Ran stone cold multiple times. No water past 9:30pm first night, second day the water for my room was turned off which is just strange for an occupied room where I wasn’t wasting it. The pros were the location, around a ten min pretty flat walk to Plaza De Armas, the English speaking host (she was warm and welcoming whilst nothing else was!) and cheap speedy laundry but I wouldn’t rebook solely on these pluses alone. Perhaps the other higher scoring reviewers had a thicker coat than me.

This hostel is clean, well-run, and very comfortable. Great showers & bedding. I stayed one night. It's a 5 minute walk to the train platform and the same to the Machu Picchu bus station. Zoraylis was at the desk during my stay, and she was efficient, welcoming, and generally great at keeping my group organized. Tiendas & restaurants less than a minute away.

Es un lugar hermoso, solo el lugar te da una sensación de paz y esa desconexión que es necesaria por los tiempos de hoy. Una vista maravillosa, una piscina limpia y con agua templada todo el día. El personal de servicio muy amigable y eficiente,incluso el dueño del lugar era muy bueno. El bungalow que nos dieron fue muy bonito, incluyendo la cocina muy equipada con todo lo que se necesita.Lo único pesado fue subir la colina cada vez que iba a Mancora boulevar, si no eres gordito como yo es normal jajajajaja igual nada se iguala con todo lo bueno que hay. Del hotel a la playa hay solo 5 a 6 minutos caminando, si es en auto o en moto mucho menor el tiempo. Fui con mis hijos y disfrutaron el paseo más estando en el hotel que fuera de él. Lo recomiendo a ojos cerrados. Y obvio regresaré siempre a este lugar cada vez que vaya a Mancora.

With stunning views from all angles, this house is built using traditional, natural and local materials: adobe, wood, and stone, achieving a wonderful harmony with nature while providing modern comfort and amenities. Surrounded by panoramic views of the mountains in all direc
This is a wonderful base for exploring the Sacred Valley. Two friends and I stayed in the Brown House, a spacious two bedroom villa with a beautiful garden and views of the surrounding mountains. The house was beautifully designed, comfortable, and well-appointed, including a kitchen that was stocked with breakfast essentials. Brian, one of the owners, could not have been kinder and was very helpful in recommending local attractions. After a busy day of sight seeing, it was great to return to such a tranquil, private oasis! Highly recommend this spot!

There is something indescribable special about this place in the middle of the valley of the Incas. Strategically located between Cusco and Machu Pichu at 2,700 m.a.s.l and at a lower high than Cusco City makes it the best place to begin you adventures at the valley, visit the arqueological Sites and relax. Experience the luxury of living in a fully equipped house surrounded by lush gardens. This little slice in heaven is waiting for you, come and feel the spirit of the place.
It is a pleasant surprise to see this beautiful VILLA on this nondescript side street. The garden is beautiful. The onsite restaurant offer local food. The veggie soup and free range chicken are good. The room is comfortable, warm and clean with running hot water. The internet outside your room in public area is sporadic. Perfect stay for this part of the country.

Casa del Muelle is a lovely house in front of the ocean built in a rustic style and fully equipped with all the necessary comfort to spend a wonderful vacation with the family, friends. Most of all, blessed with great weather all year around. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the quiet nights in the house or the exiciting nightlife in Mancora. All in an elegant and cozy environment with warm and familiar treatment.
The house is perfectly located, spacious and fully equipped. Both the pool and the beach right in front of the house (direct access) are amazing and the views breathtaking. Last but not least the service provided in the house was outstanding, Santos and Charo and their team were always friendly and kind. The food was amazing as well, typical northern-Peruvian flavours.

Mari was the most wonderful host, so caring and attentive. I stayed at this beautiful hotel before and after a trek to Machu Picchu and it was perfect. Lovely rooms, delicious breakfast, close to the center, everything you could want. And Mari treats her guests like they are part of the family. Can’t recommend highly enough
