Paracas: Ballestas Islands & Reserve in One Day Experience
"Me and my daughter, 10y/o stayed. Property is very pretty. Pool is climatized (not hot, not cold). Watrtslide is fun. There is a big dune right on the property where you can climb or sandboard on(sandboarding can be scary here, Huacachina is better for the boarding) the trail that goes around the property is a great morning walk. Everything was very clean and the restaurant and bar options for food are very good. Great for a family trip. Would return with my kid/nieces."

Room is fine, but ventilation seems to be an issue. Breakfast is just ok and served to the table."
