Hotel Paracas

Top choice in South Coast


A dreamscape plucked from a tourist brochure, with puffed cushions, permanently smiling staff, excellent kids facilities and a luxuriously raked beach, this Starwood resort offers the best high-end rooms in town. The cabaña-style rooms have private balconies and massive bathrooms. Unfortunately, ocean views are limited from many rooms. There are three hotels, two pools and a private dock on-site.

Kayaks, paddle boards and catamarans are included.

Nonguests can come for the first-class monster breakfast buffet (S84) that lasts until brunch.
