    A literal oasis in the desert

    The stuff were super helpful and polite although the level of English fluency made it somewhat hard to communicate. We were given a WiFi password code but it only worked for three of ourfive phones.

    This property is so beautiful! The grounds and corridors are scenic and well designed. The room itself was very plain and basic but very clean and reasonably comfortable. The beds felt very plasticy. We had four singles and this met our needs. I was hesitant to stay as other reviews mentioned the late night noise, but we found the site quiet and calming. The location was within easy walking distance of restaurants and our tour meeting spot. The staff stored our suitcases. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and fresh.

    Unfortunately even though the hotel was on a calmer street, the noise was still quite noticeable, making the night rest very difficult. Also, the staff in the restaurant preferred payment in cash but did not have a change back.

    The hotel is in an amazing location - walkable distance to everywhere, yet keeping the surroundings somewhat quiet in comparison to other hotels. The staff was able to speak perfect English so the communication was very smooth. The pool and the restaurant were very clean. The breakfast was also very nice, with a variety of sweet and savoury options.

    Somethings that could be improved: 1. The pool jet is on only at certain times. It'll be nice to turn it on when you see people hanging out in/around the pool. That way the water is constantly moving and the debree from the trees doesn't just linger around. 2. One of the couch in the room is dented in and looks broken. Too scared to sit on it. We only use it to put our bags. 3. The room could use a painting or two it was big and plain. 4. For the higher price compared to many other hotels/hostels around, it will be great if we can get more/nicer toiletries and/or breakfast. We only get a soap bar and a few sachets of shampoos. Breakfast was the usual continental breakfast. Nothing special. We need the small towels in the bathrooms for multi-purpose.

    Overall we enjoyed our stay at El Huacachinero. Somethings we liked: 1. The highlight was it was quiet and relaxing. There were not many people in this hotel as the majority probably opt for a cheaper accomodation or stay where the party is. We were not here to party. Rather we want to relax and enjoy the scenery. This was the best place to do that. If you want to party you can still have the option to do that but come back to a nice quiet hotel for a good night sleep eventhough the hotel is sandwiched between two party hostels that had loud music and drunk people until 2am. 2. We had the whole pool to ourselves with the sand dune in the background. It was amazing. We were able to soak in the desert scenery while in/around the pool without loud noise and crowd. The best hotels/hostels are one block away from the Oasis lagoon and not around the lagoon. The ones around the lagoon looks older. 3. The hotel was modern, comfortable, and it has a character. The hotel is much nicer in person because on the pictures it looks older and more basic for some reason. Get the room by the pool. It has good view and terrace. 4. The staff was nice. 5. Check out it at 12 which is later than most other accommodation. We were able to store our belongings after check out and hang out by the pool.

    So much noise. Huacachina is a touristic place so there’s noise from the street and from other hotels partying. If you’re in the rooms in the main entrance then get ready to hear everyone pass by… wasn’t enjoyable

    For the price we paid, it was the most in Peru so far and the least value, mainly with regards to our room. Our shower was pretty broken and old, the bed was also a small double bed which we struggled with. If you are susceptible to noise there can be noise heard from the wild rover next door and also the people coming in from nights out. I imagine the cost of the room is paying for being in the location of the oasis as most accommodations were quite a bit pricier than usual.

    It is centrally located and has a nice pool area where you can chill and relax with a lovely view is the sand dunes. The staff were friendly.

    The Wild River Hostel is right next the hotel and the music went on until 6:00am our first night. This is no fault of the hotel but perhaps better glazing would help. Also a room safe and hair dryer would be helpful.

    This is a lovely hotel just off the lake area. During the day it is lovely a peaceful around the pool with great views of the dunes but very noisy at night. The staff are all very helpful and friendly.
