From the moment I first e-mailed Claro de Luna to enquire about a booking, everything about our 6 night stay here was absolutely wonderful.

We flew into Tumbes airport and arranged airport transfer with the hotel. When I e-mailed Lautaro to confirm our reservation and change of flight time, he advised that by the time we arrived (11pm) the restaurant would be closed but would we like a sandwich making - I explained we were vegetarian so when we were shown to our room, we were greeted with cheese sandwiches and a beer - how's that for exceptional service?!

Staying at Claro de Luna is like staying in someone's beautiful large private house - as there are only 9 rooms, the hotel has a real intimate, personal feel to it, with lots of places to relax, eat, drink and sunbathe.

Our room was on the second floor and because the hotel is directly on the beach, you go to sleep and are woken up to the sound of the Pacific Ocean - bliss! The rooms don't have air conditioning (it's not needed) and because of the natural breeze we didn't even need to put the fan on, despite the daily outside temperature being 30 degrees.

We walked into Mancora a couple of times (mainly to try out a great vegetarian restaurant Angela's Place we'd read about and also to shop - cheap Havaianas!) but apart from that there really is no reason to leave the hotel.

Apart from our visits to Angela's Place, we ate all our other meals at the hotel because the food here is exceptional - some of the best food we've had anywhere on our travels.

The service from Lautaro, Ricardo and the 2 waiters was out of this world, and this hotel deserves every positive review it gets on Tripadvisor.

We will definitely be back!

We spent three nights and four days here and enjoyed every minute. The staff was very helpful and fun, the rooms were comfortable. We walking into Mancora and wished that we had not bothered as the food and amenities were so much nicer at the hotel. It is very quiet in May and the beach was clean-great for walking. I borrowed a paddleboard and went out past the surf. We enjoyed the hotel masseuse every day. Each meal was superb and well presented. We will be back!
It is not easy to get here from Piura.

Very welcoming little hotel, very quiet and located on the best spot on the beach. The staff and owners are very friendly it feel like a little peace of heaven on hearth. This is not fanzy at all but service and accomodation are really high level. On top of it the food served is yummy an dthe sunset is amazing! Don't hesitate to stay there you will not regret it...
Thanks a lot
