Bamboo Paracas Resort

This hotel was amazing!! We were there during low season (late June) and practically had the place to ourselves. The rooms are all individual units (imagine clean, fancy shipping containers with nice vinyl flooring, bathrooms and windows) complete with patios, picnic tables and grills outside. There are three pools (one just for kids), a ton of hammocks, bikes, surf/paddle boards, a small restaurant/bar, and it’s right next to a windsurfing shop with lessons and morning/evening yoga classes. It’s at the end of the road so it’s very quiet, and the rental includes a free paddle board (one use included with stay, and you can rent them after that, I think). The staff was SO great and helpful. It’s not like we make it to Peru from Alaska often, but we are definitely coming back to this place the next time we’re here! It’s about 5 minutes and S/10 (about $3) for the taxi to and from town. It boarders the national park, so do a paddle in the morning before the wind picks up and head over to watch all the birds on the isolated beach. Gorgeous. Hotel dog Estrella will definitely win you over as well. (I tried several times to upload photos but it’s not working, will try another post with pics later.)

We enjoyed staying at the Bamboo Paracas Beach Resort which was a great value versus the pricey hotels down the road. They are very low key and have good food and options for kite surfing or other water fun. We opted to just relax by the bay in the hammocks and deck chairs. Was very peaceful and relaxing. Also very easy to get to central Paracas but not to close.

Det var första gången jag och min sambo var i ett strandresort. Egentligen föredrar vi city semester, men denna gången behövde vi två dagar vid stranden. För oss var Bamboo Resort perfekt, för det var inte ett typiskt resort. Enkla hyttor och själva designen var lite sliten, men ändå trevlig och naturnära. Servicen var trevlig och nästan alltid snabbt. Rekommenderas varmt som ett billigt alternativ!
