We arrived here kind of late, so were werent able to do the sand dunes. We got here around 7pm and there were lot of tourists everywhere and we felt safe. Check in was easy and we asked about how to get on a flgiht to see the Nazca lines. The lady at the front desk was able to arrange to get a private car, flight to see the Nazca lines and transportation back to the main square in Nazca. I think it was $150 usd each for me and my husband. After check in we had dinner and drinks on the same street, walking distance, so that was nice. Our room was clean and bed was comfortable. I did read the reviews about the hostel nearby being loud at night, so i expected it. But honestly, me and my husband live in a city, so it didnt keep us from falling asleep, it wasn't super loud, we heard it from a distance. I heard the music at 3am, when i got up to use the bathroom, but like i said it didnt keep us up. If you need absolute silence, keep that in mind. Breakfast was bread, cheese, ham meat and fruit. There was also juice and coffee. We were able to take it to go in a box because we left super early to go see the Nazca lines. Overall it was nice and comfortable for the one night we stayed.

Mouldy ceiling falling into sink

There are not a lot of hotels to choose from in Huacachina, but this one is supposed to be one of the best. The grounds are nice and the pool is lovely. The staff is great and very accommodating. The room we had was big, but the bed had a rubber mattress cover on it. The stay would have been unremarkable and I wouldn’t be leaving this review if it were not for the mould on the bathroom ceiling. I was brushing my teeth and noticed white residue around the sink, then some that fell in my hair. I looked up and realized the ceiling directly above the sink was moulding and falling down on top of my head and onto the sink and in my personal care products. I was horrified and moved all my things out of the bathroom and didn’t use the sink again. This was at about 1 am right before we went to sleep, so we did not alert management, reasoning that all they would be able to do would be to either move us to another room (if they had one with AC - most don’t have it), and anything the would do to cover the mold would only disturb it and potentially be more dangerous. We had planned to tell the clerk on the desk in the morning, but the woman working the desk spoke no English and our Spanish is basic. I also find it hard to believe that this would have been new information for them. This feels like the kind of place that doesn’t care about overall quality of their rooms, given the hyper transient nature of Huacachina, where the avg. traveller age is 21 and most won’t ever be back.

Bare bones and uncomfortable

Hotel building and grounds look fairly nice and well kept. Room is very bare bones, bed mattress squishy and old, lighting poor, lampshades torn, no place to put clothes or suitcases. Bathroom very user unfriendly, nowhere to put even a few products, toilet barely flushes. Haven’t showered yet so don’t know about that. Sheets on bed stiff and scratchy. Just a poor and uncomfortable hotel room for eighty some dollars per night in Peru.

Our room was a good size, very basic but clean. The hot water in the shower was tepid and there was only 1 available plug socket in the bedroom. The courtyard/pool area is a lovely place to relax. The breakfast is simple and we were offered scrambled eggs. We did order a pizza and they charged us 12 soles more than the menu price. When questioned they said they gave us a larger one though there wasn't an option for this on the menu. There is noise from the surrounding bars/hostels so we found earplugs to be useful. The hotel is in a great location.

The room was large and clean. It had working AC which was needed in the desert heat. Shower had warmish water but not hot. Toilet worked! We stayed in the only room that had a card key to enter so im not sure if it was an upgraded room and others didnt have AC. Breakfast was not anything to rave about. There was cheese and meats and cereal. Didnt looked to be getting replenished and the dining room was full. We ended up not eating and leaving to go on a tour due to lack of options.

When we checked in the front counter the attendant was not very friendly or welcoming at all. She barely cracked a smile and we were standing there just kinda staring at each other for a bit. when we got here, the weather was about 90° and the air conditioner in the room was off and the refrigerator was unplugged. It took quite a while for it to cool down. Lastly, when we came for breakfast at 6:30, they were not at all prepared and we only had just a few minutes to eat. The breakfast here is minuscule to say the least and with them being not prepared it makes it even worse. We only had 15 minutes to eat before we continue to our next excursion, but they were moving slower than molasses. I would NOT stay here again.

Nice hotel in a quieter area, short walk to the dunes and restaurants nearby. The room is spacious & clean, however the shower hot water can fluctuate from hot warm to cold. The breakfast is ok and doesn’t have much selection.
