We stayed here for almost 2 weeks (across 2 separate times). This is by far the best hotel in Chicama, in terms of luxury, vibe, customer service, food quality, and location. The rooms are modern, clean, very spacious, showers are nice and hot, and beds are big and comfy. The ladies working tirelessly at the restaurant and bar are amazing - they work so hard to make sure service is good and everything that comes out of the kitchen is 5 stars (especially the chorrillana fish and burger!). The hotel is located right in front of the go down to the surf and there's a nice storage room for surfboards, foils, all the toys. And the hot tubs, sauna, steam rooms, and daily yoga sessions were the perfect complement to super tiring surf sessions.
I love that while this feels like a high end hotel, it's still casual and relaxed enough that you're able to feel at home - lounging in the couch, walking around barefeet, some guys in their speedos, etc. It's a nice place that doesn't feel stuffy or too fancy.
The main shout-out here goes to two managers - Daniel and Ralph. They both go above and beyond to make guests happy and make sure we have everything we need. I was super sick this past week and Ralph made sure to ask after me and Daniel gave my husband emergency probiotic liquid stuff and electrolyte drinks to give to me. They are juggling with a hundred requests and logistics per day especially with all the groups that stay at the hotel, and for them to care and remember the little things is the biggest testament to their dedication to excellent hospitality.
Thank you and I can't wait to be back!!
