"Beautiful resort with wonderful amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and had a beautiful sea view (they all do). The food at the hotel was delicious. Humo, the Japanese/Peruvian restaurant is spectacular. This hotel is worth visiting just to get to experience Humo. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten. The beach is quiet and relaxing. We encounter a few locals selling but not at the level that we experienced in the walled city. "

I felt completely safe staying here and...
