Don't go here if you expect a quiet night's sleep. It was SO LOUD until around 3:30 am. I was still awake because I couldn't sleep due to the loud music.

This property treated us very well! The room size was good with a good enough view. The music stops at about 10pm which was nice as well. The food was surprisingly good and much better than nearby options. It’s the closest you can get to the desert part of Huacachina and I really liked the location. I would recommend this stay in Huacachina!

Nice place and friendly staff. My one complaint is that they played loud music later into the evening. I thought at 10 pm the music would go off but they only turned it down a bit. It was still quite loud. We had an early morning out the door to catch a bus back to Lima so it was difficult to sleep. I’m not sure when the music finally turned off because I managed to fall asleep with the help of ear plugs. Otherwise the location was nice as was the property itself. The bed was comfortable. Everything was clean. We booked the sand buggy tour through them and that was a lot of fun too.

Okay hotel

Unsure if there are better hotels in Huacacina. Our room was clean but very basic. Small TV. Loud until 11 but after that it was very quiet. The tiki hut offered good food. Small pool but did the job. Our friend had a room that smelled old.

We had a great time at Bananas Adventure Hotel! It’s located right in front of the Oasis, and everything is within walking distance. The staff provided excellent customer service, and the food and drinks were delicious! The rooms were clean, though I do wish there were more outlets in the bathroom. Overall, we had an amazing stay!

Nice room and bed comfortable and clean. Nice bathroom, great view. Beautiful patio seatings and just a walk away from Huacachina lake and walk way. Fist day we walk up to the dunes and had a pleasant evening, they tell us we have to pay $3 soles to go up the dune, but we didn't we just took the other way for free. Great food and drinks around a bit expensive for Peruvian standard, but way cheaper if compare to US prices

The word “hostel” usually is negative sign for me but bananas was comfortable, cozy, and clean ! There was slight noise during the night or early morning but nothing unbearable. It was also in a prime location.
