A luxury resort that really was a 5 star stay. Travelling as a family through Peru we made our final stop for a few days at this resort. I wasn't sure what to to expect as we don't typically travel to resorts but expected we were in for a treat.
The communication was excellent before we even arrived as we had some booking issues to sort out. They responded quickly to our emails in both English and Spanish. Our arrival was met with plenty of friendly staff to help with our things and they were great with our overtired children. They understood right away that we just needed to retreat to the our rooms and then the pool and let us take care of any details in our booking later. Oh, and big smiles when the complimentary cookies came up.
The room looked just like it did in the photos with no surprises. Exquisitely clean, and kept clean throughout the trip. I don't know how they did it but they managed to always get in the room for a tidy up even when we were away for a short while, and when needed the "Do not disturb" sign was well respected.
Not an all inclusive, but the complimentary breakfast was delicious. A combination of North and South American foods with well stocked staples such as scrambled eggs, waffles, fresh juice and local fruit, and a cereal bar. And the service was excellent, always ready to refill a coffee cup or point the way to the KIDS CLUB though we never felt like we were smothered. The friendly staff gave us plenty of space to just be with our families but were always ready to assist when needed.
The resort wasn't massive but every foot of it was very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. The beach is sandy with lots of beach chairs and umbrellas to stay in the shade. The ocean was bit mucky at waters edge and the birds have quite a presence which made for some awesome photos but also kept us more in the pool looking out at the beautiful bay instead of swimming in.
The hotel is about a 20 minute walk or 5 minute taxi ride to town where you can get to the Islas Ballistas, bus station, or national park and there are plenty of restaurants in Paracas and tourist agencies to help plan your trip.
Doubletree Resort Paracas set a high standard for a resort stay and when we are back this way again we would definitely return.
