Carola Lodge

The Wild Rover might attract moat tourists but this place should be heavily considered instead. It's cheaper, more open space and the benefits are so much more. Besides, you can just walk the 100 meters or so down the street to join the free-for-all Wild Rover party anyways. Here at Carola you will get personable, loving service on a scale I didn't think possible. I lost my credit card during my stay and through talking with hotel owner Coco, who typically is around, I could borrow several hundred Soles as well as get a special discount on my dorm room. I would even say Coco, Chakra (chef), the bartenders and some receptionists became my friends. They were genuinely interested in my life and helping me. The pool is nice. The rooms have fans. Unlimited supply of shampoo, toilet paper and fresh towels. Besides whole Huacachinas sandboarding/buggy tours typically leave just outside Carola where you of course can book in reception of Carola. The food is varied and okay. Drinks are delicious. At this place you will both meet a lot of locals and tourists. It's a typical place for Peruhop guests. One night there even was a DJ accompanied with live saxophonist. Oh and the view of the magnificiently towering sand dune right next to it really makes for a great morning! Thank you Carola, love you all.

Carola Lodge is a strikingly beautiful hotel within the Huacachina Oasis. The rooms are basic, yet spacious and the staff is truly helpful and outgoing while the hotel has a restaurant and a mini market to pick up sodas as well as a very relaxed vibe!

We stayed here for one night while sandboarding at Huacachina. It met our needs for the night and was clean. The staff was very nice--went out of their way to accommodate our late check-in and early check-out. It's not luxurious or anything, but it was great for us for the night. Also, the pool looked lovely but I had forgotten my suit. :(

We stayed in Carola Lodge for six nights, and are left with mixed impressions. The property partly looks like it’s still under heavy construction, partly looks like it’s been long forgotten (one whole pool area is not in use, looks dirty and is full of trash), and has a lot of cheap solutions. We did get a good discount on the price because we did not have warm water in the shower one single day while we stayed there. The breakfast is basic and quite boring if you stay several days, but definitely better than no breakfast. The staff allowed guests to play their own extremely loud music by the pool, meaning there at one point were three groups of people with loudspeakers playing music in addition to the music being played by the restaurant. When we asked the staff if they could ask the guests to turn down/off their music (since it did not help that we asked them directly), they shrugged and said they cannot do anything about it because people come there to have fun. Being considerate towards other guests who wish to relax by the pool during daytime (and not have four parallel reggeaton parties) is apparantly not a thing here. In the reception they did not accept credit cards, while in the restaurant they did. Not sure why. On the positive side the staff was friendly and the discount we got on the price made it worth staying there.

We stayed a night at Carola Lodge. The sink in the bathroom was filthy. The floor was full of hair. It was noisy and the WATER drip-dripped from the shower. Everything was just not right in that place.

We just stayed one night, though unfortunately we got to say it is a very noisy place, paper thin walls, very basic breakfast and dust/sand everywhere (which is understandable as it is in the desert, though it looked like rooms were not cleaned for quite some time). The hotel manager though was very helpful arranging a tour in the dunes and easy with the check out time. We unfortubately would stay at another back next time.

Huacachina is one of the greatest places I’ve ever been ! The hotel it’s the best, I fell in love with it !! So many activities to do over there and the food was amazing! I recommend it a lot, definitely coming back! 10/10
