Serenity Hotel & Lodge

Our experience of this place was well beyond our expectations. This was mainly because of the fantastic hospitality provided by the owners Oscar and Luchy! The place is in an area between Ica and Huacachina. The location itself is nothing special and there are no nice places around, but we walked to Huacachina with our two kids in just under 30 minutes – and usually took a taxi back. So, if you’d like to avoid the loud an overpriced accommodation options in Huacachina, and you don’t mind walking for half an hour, then this place is the perfect alternative. Luchy’s country house has a wonderful pool which is perfect for cooling down from the hot sun you get during the day. The rest of the common areas are very charming and full of antiques. In comparison, the rooms were a bit disappointing as not always as spacious and tastefully furnished as the rest of the house. Another slight letdown about the rooms was the lack of towels. You get one towel per person, so no extra as a hand towel or floor towel for the shower. However, we found this as a very common practice in Peru. I do understand the issue of scarce water, and we make a conscious effort not to use more than we need, but an extra two towels should not cause such major damage. We also made use of their laundry service as we had been a week in Peru when we got to Luchy’s. It was not expensive, but I found it odd and unimpressive that the staff gave us our clean clothes stuffed into a couple plastic bags without any care. Whilst I was not expensive ironed clothes or the standard of a 5-star hotel, folding the clothes in a nice and tidy way would have been a nice touch. This may be more down to the staff needing more training. The owners did highlight the issues they’ve had with the lack of good staff. On the other hand, there is plenty more that is great about this place. The food, for example, is fantastic! The breakfast included in the cost of the accommodation is delicious, fresh and plentiful. We had lunch and dinner there and the food always impressed! We’d definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting the area. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the dunes!

I saw some reviews that are not that good, because de placement of the hotel is creepy, or beacause the staff is not friendly. But we didn’t have this experience. The hotel look just like the photos ! The staff was always there to make our experience better. I loved the fact that there is so much animals (chicken,horses, dogs !!!) we really liked our experience at luchy’s. Muchas gracias por la experiencia, me senti como una reina antigua 🤭 - Samuel & Adriana

Amazing place which was put together with a lot of love. The staff were amazing They were so nice all the time! The food is great! You can really relax after a long day of exploring Ica. And you must pet Marco Aurelio, he is the “boss” of the house

We had a great stay at Luchys , all the staff are friendly and helpful! Mr Oscar provides a great bonus transport service which is helpful given you're a little out of town. The property is very beautiful and well maintained. Room and bathroom spotlessly clean as well as linens. Calm, quiet spot that makes for a great place to relax. Onsite restaurant has yummy food , breakfast is also good (basic but enough to keep you going). Would stay again.

A quiet oasis where we were made to feel like family. The entire staff had smiles on their faces and were happy to help in any way they could. The restaurant on site is delicious. The dogs were super fun to play with as well. Hot showers fast WiFi and a giant tv with Netflix.

This place is a disgrace. Pictures look absolutely nothing like the property. Horrible. Google maps leads you around in circles down some really sketchy dirt roads. Called multiple times to find the place and they told us we can’t find it with Google maps and have to use Waze. Staff was unfriendly and the area surrounding it seemed very dangerous. Better bring a gun with you if you plan to stay there. Would not recommend this place to an enemy. Horrible!!!

I was really glad I stayed at this place. Not far from Huacachina but away from the busy oasis, in a lovely family atmosphere where I felt very welcomed. The place has so many nice details and touches including historic artefacts that the friendly host kindly guide you through. Not to mention the home made food that was really delicious.

An amazing getaway oasis in Ica with lovely decore and confortable Suits. We booked one night but after seeing the hospitality and kidness of the people here we wanted to stay longer. Can't recommed this place more. And the food is delicious
