Not sure if it’s because we came during off season, but the overall stay was not as great as we thought it would be. The area surrounding the hotel smells like sewage, and even our bathroom shower smelled like this too. It was so bad that we had to change rooms. Our shower had very low water pressure, and the shower head itself was old and rusty. The water calcium buildup was really bad and the shower sprayed from every which way, which was very unpleasant. The floor in our room was dirty and had footprints from either people who stayed before us or those who cleaned the room. There are a ton of birds on the property (mainly pigeons, sparrows and vultures), which would be fine if there wasn’t bird poop everywhere. Birds were in almost every facility and bird poop could be found on all seating areas (couches, chairs, tables, etc). The initial lobby staff are nice, but the rest of the staff we encountered throughout the resort seemed annoyed by us and didn’t seem happy to help or answer questions. The one amenity we loved about the resort was the spa. The facility was clean and the services offered were of great value. The restaurant provided pretty decent food. However, I wish I could say our stay was better than what it was. We were disappointed overall, especially because we were expecting resort-like vibes but we felt like we stayed at an average hotel.

For Americans/English speakers: the staff here are great. Most speak English and those who don’t are very patient and helpful. It seems to be mostly Peruvians who stay here, but they do have some stuff for Americans and other foreign tourists, like typical western breakfast foods. The property is well kept and the view across the bay is nice. We were out on the corner next to what seems to be an abandoned construction project next door, which wasn’t particularly nice. Dust seems to be challenge here and the floors had some on them, but there are slippers provided if that’s a problem. Overall, I would stay here again if I were to do it again.

Dear Renzo: we apologice for flies in our property but since we are close to main fishing areas and strong winds, that is the reason why we have them during some periods of the year.

Aranwa is a beautiful property situated at the top end of Paracas. Only a ten minute walk along the beach back to the port and the main part of the town. Rooms are well appointed. We had a large ground floor room with outside balcony. The hotel has multiple pools that are well maintained. We only stayed one night and had to leave early for a tour. Breakfast which was included commenced st 7 and was plentiful and of a very good quality. If I visited Paracas I would definitely return.

Excellent staff and food in restaurant. Front desk staff for arrival and departure were unfriendly, and generally unhelpful. The one we dealt with should not be employed in any position interfacing with guests. The hotel was cheaply built and the tiles around the pool are lifting and are a tripping hazard. The beach front is disgustingly dirty with debris and pollution of the water. Probably nothing the hotel can do about the beach as the entire bay appears to be an environmental disaster. Definitely not a five star property, maybe a three. Would not stay there again.

It was a great experience to stay at Aranwa. I enjoyed the talk on Pisco and how to prepare a cocktail. I participated in a contest and won!! It was really exciting and I learnt something new. The view of the hotel is spectacular! I had my usual jog by the colorful beach. I was disappointed the disco closed at 12 am on a Saturday. We were on vacations and missed to enjoyed it more. I would definitely return one day.

The place were nice but not very clean. The spa mirror had finger prints. No trash can in the gym. Also, workers were making noise at 2:00 am above my room, I called twice the front desk. The noise stop after 15 minutes . When I went to the front office in the morning To talk about what happened during the night, they didn’t know anything. No communication. The shower in my room had a leak
