The breakfast experience at Aranwa Paracas Resort & Spa garners a generally positive reception with some areas for improvement. Guests frequently describe the breakfast as delicious, very good and varied with multiple options available. Some highlight that it is complete, abundant and includes a mixture of tasty and diverse dishes.

However, there are also several comments noting a lack of variety and repetition in the offerings. Some guests feel the breakfast could include more protein options and greater diversity to enhance the overall experience. Additionally, a few reviews mention issues like flies in the breakfast area, chaotic organization and instances of food not being fresh.

Despite these criticisms, many guests still appreciate the effort put into the breakfast service, mentioning the attentive staff and adequate measures taken for cleanliness and biosecurity.

However, there are several areas of concern. A recurring theme in the reviews is a limited variety of dishes with some guests finding the food not so pleasant or even terrible at times. The restaurant's prices were frequently mentioned as high, not aligning with the quality and flavor of the food. Service issues were also noted, including long waits for dinner and missed orders. Special events like New Year's dinner could have benefitted from more decoration and flair to enhance the experience.

In summary, while the dining experience at Aranwa Paracas Resort & Spa is often enjoyable with several highlighted positive aspects, there are notable areas for improvement in variety, pricing and service.

Many of the rooms provide direct access to the pool, adding a touch of luxury and convenience for guests. The beds are often described as comfortable, ensuring a restful stay. Additionally, the rooms are generally clean with effective air conditioning that enhances the overall comfort.

However, some aspects fall short of expectations. Guests have noted the need for better maintenance, particularly in the bathrooms and showers, which in some cases emit unpleasant smells. Issues with mini fridges not cooling properly and noise from adjacent areas have also been reported. There's a call for more modern amenities, such as smart TVs and better soundproofing to minimize disturbances.

Despite these drawbacks, the excellent guest service, exemplified by staff members like Jorge, significantly improves the overall experience.

Issues with pool cleanliness and occasional maintenance lapses, such as loose floor tiles and dusty floors, were mentioned by some visitors. Inconsistent housekeeping, such as not changing towels or ensuring hygiene accessories are available, also detracted from some guests' experiences.

Despite these occasional setbacks, the overall sentiment from guests indicates that the staff's willingness to help, combined with their friendly and attentive demeanor, leaves a positive and lasting impression. The facilities at the resort, combined with the genuine kindness and service-minded nature of most staff members, make for an enjoyable stay for many visitors.

Wi-Fi
The reviews for Aranwa Paracas Resort & Spa highlight a few concerns regarding the hotel's WiFi service. While some guests found the WiFi password to work very well, allowing them to conduct activities like training calmly, many others experienced various issues. The WiFi connection was often described as weak, unstable and limited, particularly in the evenings.

Several reviewers mentioned difficulties in connecting from their rooms and some were unable to connect at all. Additionally, the process of obtaining the WiFi password from reception was occasionally slow. Overall, while there were a few positive remarks on the WiFi, many guests found the service to be lacking in reliability and speed.

Spa

The spa is highlighted as one of the most outstanding features of the resort, providing a tranquil escape that guests find incredibly good. The service at the spa is often described as excellent with many guests appreciating the lovely and spacious facilities, including a standout saltwater pool and a sauna that contribute to a wonderful experience.

The spa's environment is generally praised, though some guests noted that it could benefit from a warmer ambiance. Additionally, the introduction of a “no phones” policy during massages could enhance the relaxation experience further.

Gym
Aranwa Paracas Resort & Spa features a gym that receives mixed reviews. Guests appreciate the gym for being large and well-maintained, noting that it boasts a spacious and clean environment. However, there are several mentions of the gym's basic equipment with some guests pointing out a need for more machines and alternative workout options such as resistance bands or pulley systems. Concerns about the gym opening late and the overall quality of service indicate room for improvement. While the gym has potential, some visitors feel enhancements are necessary to elevate the fitness experience.

Pool
The pool area at Aranwa Paracas Resort & Spa is generally well-received with guests appreciating the large, clean and beautifully maintained pools. Many highlight the resort’s two outdoor pools and the Thalassotherapy pool, describing them as very nice and clean with some rooms offering direct access to the pool. The resort’s pool area is seen as comfortable and fun with plenty of activities available, especially on Saturdays.

However, there are recurring mentions that the pools are not heated, which can be a drawback on cloudy or cold days. Some reviews noted that the pool water was unexpectedly cold and suggested that heating the pools would improve the experience significantly. The cleanliness is another mixed point; while many guests commend the pools for being clean and well-kept, there are occasional reports of the pools being dirty or having pigeon droppings.

The placement and views from the pool areas are also praised, offering good accessibility and beautiful scenery. Despite some minor issues like slippery floors near the pools and restricted pool hours, the overall impression of the pool facilities is positive, making it a notable feature of the resort by the beach.

Beach
Despite its many amenities, Aranwa Paracas Resort & Spa unfortunately falls short when it comes to its beach. Situated adjacent to the hotel, the beach has been overwhelmingly described as dirty, neglected and unsuitable for swimming. Visitors commonly noted contamination, including algae, trash, remnants of oil and plastics, contributing to a generally unpleasant atmosphere. The sandy shore and seawater were cited as polluted with reports of a bad smell and limited cleaning efforts. It's evident that the beach's condition detracts significantly from the overall experience with many guests unable to enjoy swimming or spending time by the ocean. Improving the cleanliness and maintenance of the beach area could enhance the resort’s appeal significantly.

In contrast, the resort itself is well-regarded for sleeping and relaxation, particularly around the pools, which offer a welcoming alternative for guests. Despite this, the consensus is clear: the beach area near Aranwa Paracas Resort & Spa is in dire need of attention and improvement.

Parking

Concerns have been raised about the condition of the facilities and the overall atmosphere, which some found to be lacking. The food, though recognized for its exceptional seasoning, was often deemed too expensive relative to its taste.

There were also recurring mentions of service limitations with activities ending early and no extended service options.
