Arennas Mancora

Amazing experience, a peace of paradise with the most amazing staff trained to make one’s experience unforgettable! Lovely suites facing the ocean, plenty of space, clean and decorated with refined taste.

Wonderful experience in a place not traveled by many Americans. The hotel and pool are beautiful and located right on the beach. The sound of the ocean from our patio each day was great. The breakfast each day was very fresh and good and the service at the hotel in general was awesome. A special thanks to Mijael who took pity on our poor Spanish and helped us navigate ordering each day. There are not a lot of activities to do outside of the hotel, but between the great food, awesome drinks (we enjoyed margaritas and daiquiris from the beach bar), nice wines (we explored Argentinian wine) and beautiful setting there isn’t much reason to leave. The hotel has SUP boards available if you want to venture out into the ocean. There were also beautiful bonfires some nights we were here. The views and sound of the ocean from our room really can’t be beat.

It was a súper stay. We just left the hotel and it has been the best spot to finish our three weeks vacations. Carla thanks for the welkoming and all the arrangements for making our stay perfect. Santos thanks for keeping our room impeccable. Milagros just the perfect combination for hospitality, charismatic and so good to remember our preferences. That says a lot of the hotel. The room we had was spectacular. The first two days we just left to have dinner and the rest of the day we could enjoy the peace and quiet of the room. Muchas gracias Arennas team

Best paradise in Mancora. Food and service are incredible. Junior and Jury the best people there. My boyfriend, my mom and i had a very good time enjoying everything. I will come back soon. This is a MUST for everyone who wants to discover the best of Peru

This hotel is superb in every way. The staff took excellent care of me. The accommodations are wonderful. Service is top notch. The food is also delicious. The location is peaceful and relaxing. I would highly recommend Arennas Mancora to everyone.

Beach views were amazing and the environment is very calming and private. Locals meet you on the beach to sell hats and offer horse rides but were all very friendly. Hotel also offers panel boards for use for free, just make a reservation. We found that there were limited activities other than drinking, lounging by the pool or walking down the beach (which were great!) Dinner and lunch plans in Mancora downtown require a bumpy ride in a moto-taxi (tuk-tuk) - we recommend checking out La sirena d juan or Atlier Mancora for delicious sushi and ceviche options

Overall our stay was good. The hotel is very relaxing and the location along the beach can’t be beat. Unfortunately I’m not sure Arennas Mancora is worth the value for the high price. The room and amenities were fine—clean, functional—but lacked a “wow” factor of a 5 star resort. Some things I would recommend improvements upon would be blackout curtains for the rooms—my husband and I had just finished the Incan Trail and were hoping to catch up on sleep; unfortunately we were woken by the sunrise every day. Also, the ceviche class was just watching the chef make ceviche—for 180 soles, I could have watched the cooking channel instead. Oh also, the hydro pool is not heated lol The server Alex was amazing though! Very professional, diligent, and sweet.

My husband and I had a fabulous week at the hotel. Despite the travelling to get there as we had to take 2 flights that day, 1hr 30 drive from Talara airport, with the last 15 mins on a dusty bumpy road, it was so worth it! To be honest when we saw all the rubbish around Talara and the road to the hotel, our expectations were not all that high but Arennas did not disappoint. We spent a lot of time looking at reviews for here and the nearby DCO hotel. We missed Kichic which is right beside Arennas. Both of those hotels are lovely, particularly Kichic but we are very happy we chose Arennas. Spending a week here, we knew we’d prefer a bigger pool area and larger hotel in general and this was absolutely the right choice for us. We loved the openness of the place, the views to the sea from our room (beachfront room was well worth it) and being able to get away from poolside when we wanted. We particularly loved the loungers looking out to sea near the pool bar area. What a joy to watch the whales swimming past! Sergio at the bar was fantastic and looked after us so well all week. We didn’t get everyone’s name but all the staff were very pleasant and helpful, particularly Milagros, Juan, Miguel & Carla (at reception). All the housekeeping staff we met were very nice. I also had a lovely relaxing massage to the sounds of the waves. Our room was simply furnished and decorated but lots of space and very clean. AC was very effective and loved the little treats left in our room every night. Lunches and dinners were really good and the grill night was great. Just some points to note: breakfast needs to be improved, all the basics are there but it’s the weakest we had during our time in Peru. Remove pizza and breaded prawns as these weren’t freshly prepared. Robes need to be provided in the rooms. I asked and we were given them but a hotel like this should have them automatically. We easily spent a week at Arennas and loved every minute.

The room was fine -easy location room 15 the bed was comfy -the fridge doesn’t work so we just got a bucket of ice and kept some beer cold in it. I have stayed at nicer places but considering where we were this was just fine. Language is a barrier but WiFi good so translating worked. People and staff will go over and above to make your stay nice. Also the food was really good we thought. - as for coffee. I would order cappuccino or espresso’s since I like it a little strong. The beach is nice. Just be careful of rocks if it’s low tide.
