Hotels near Plaza De Armas, Ica

Our experience of this place was well beyond our expectations. This was mainly because of the fantastic hospitality provided by the owners Oscar and Luchy! The place is in an area between Ica and Huacachina. The location itself is nothing special and there are no nice places around, but we walked to Huacachina with our two kids in just under 30 minutes – and usually took a taxi back. So, if you’d like to avoid the loud an overpriced accommodation options in Huacachina, and you don’t mind walking for half an hour, then this place is the perfect alternative. Luchy’s country house has a wonderful pool which is perfect for cooling down from the hot sun you get during the day. The rest of the common areas are very charming and full of antiques. In comparison, the rooms were a bit disappointing as not always as spacious and tastefully furnished as the rest of the house. Another slight letdown about the rooms was the lack of towels. You get one towel per person, so no extra as a hand towel or floor towel for the shower. However, we found this as a very common practice in Peru. I do understand the issue of scarce water, and we make a conscious effort not to use more than we need, but an extra two towels should not cause such major damage. We also made use of their laundry service as we had been a week in Peru when we got to Luchy’s. It was not expensive, but I found it odd and unimpressive that the staff gave us our clean clothes stuffed into a couple plastic bags without any care. Whilst I was not expensive ironed clothes or the standard of a 5-star hotel, folding the clothes in a nice and tidy way would have been a nice touch. This may be more down to the staff needing more training. The owners did highlight the issues they’ve had with the lack of good staff. On the other hand, there is plenty more that is great about this place. The food, for example, is fantastic! The breakfast included in the cost of the accommodation is delicious, fresh and plentiful. We had lunch and dinner there and the food always impressed! We’d definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting the area. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the dunes!

This place is stunning. You have a view of the dunes right behind the pool area. Magical. This grounds have chickens walking around. If you love birds just get a drink and sit by the pool and see many kind of different birds. The food was wonderful and same with the drinks. It was very quite and calming there. You do feel far away from any city. The rooms were clean, wifi worked great and people working there were great with customer service. My wife and I had to leave early the next morning and they made us breakfast to go. A great experience. There is a kid pool and adult pool. And they had loads of activities to do if you are into those things. We will be going back.

I'm a pasioned peruvian biker but Im doing this review in English to help another pasioned bikers from abroad to find a good place to stay close to Ica. After being several times around Huacachina Oasis I couldn't find hotel with a good location which offers a reasonable price. It is not a 3 stars Hotel if you are looking for something like that but the rooms a big enough and clean it is almost a new building!! It has pool and it is located out of the noisy Ica city. JASON the manager from the first call he was very kind and friendly and Cecilia the receptionist was fantastic providing information about what to do in the area.
