The tents were great, they had everything that you could ask for. We enjoyed our time at Aranwa. The staff is incredibly helpful. My mother is 84 and they went out of their way to help her and make sure that she was comfortable.

Great place to have a relaxing weekend away from the bustly city. Hang around the pool or lay in the private beach. In the afternoon you can enjoy the beautiful sunset. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Very poor attentiveness of front of house staff
The Chalets/ bungalows are in poor condition with an almost constant stench of sewage outside.
The bar is dreadful with expensive and badly made drinks. Eg worst “Pisco sour” in Peru... I mean basic
Every day and night until 23:00 there is tinny crappy 70/80s remix music playing on loop. Keeping everyone awake and no one enjoying it.
The whole look of the place is shabby and not chic. It envokes a dilapidated theme park from the 1950s: overall poor place and definitely would NOT recommend. Sort yourselves out. Walk along the beach front and take a look at the other establishments. Try and have a little care about how your place looks from the front and beach.

** For the price I wouldn’t expect uneven paths with broken tiles, rickety buildings, sewage smell, rubbish expensive bar, surly staff and dreadful amenities**

Ps I would say the security guards and cleaner are lovely people and hope they get paid properly as they shine as great people and only saving grace to this calamity of a hotel/resort.

I wish I had taken photos to prove it but didn’t want to ruin my holiday memories.

Dear Mr. Conrad, we thank you for the time giving to this comment and through this comment let us knows our opportunities to get better. We apologize for the bad stay you had in our establishment, and althought we do not have excuses for this, we will like to let you know that indeed we are a 3 stars hotel that remains with a rustic local style that tries its best to give a satisfying experience. We are very sorry for the pisco sour experience, regularly our costumers like them specially in the pisco sour classes, and the music standard is to have something smooth with no explicit context because we have many families as guest also, this type of music could be change when our guests require it.
We apologyze once more for your unsatisfied experience and we will contact you soon to make up for the inconvenience. Kind regards.
