EnquireArennas Mancora is one of a multitude of charming beachside resorts lining the northwest coast of Peru. It lies 20 minutes southwest of Mancora, a thriving tourist destination that many Peruvians escape to during the summer months for its sandy beaches, lively water sports and pleasant atmosphere. What makes this hotel particularly appealing is the fact that it’s set away from the often busy town and is decidedly peaceful and relaxed as a result. The town and all its amenities and attractions are still within easy reach.
The bedrooms are in keeping with the hotel's modern, chic and upmarket character. They offer plenty of space and a number of amenities to ensure a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Each room has a view of either the seafront or the hotel’s lush, attractive gardens, and some even have their own peaceful, private deck from which to take in the captivating views. There are 22 air conditioned rooms altogether and amenities common to them all include an LCD TV with satellite channels, complimentary toiletries and a minibar. The design is contemporary, sophisticated and fairly minimalistic; many rooms have large glass windows to let in more natural light.
The hotel’s Gourmet Restaurant offers an array of both Peruvian and international dishes. Breakfast is served buffet-style, while lunch and dinner are served a la carte. Visitors can relax on the beach, go for lengthy coastal walks and enjoy all manner of water-based activities; surfing and kitesurfing are especially popular, as are fishing, scuba diving and whale watching. Conveniently enough, the beach is just a stone’s throw from the hotel. Leisurely horse rides on the beach are also a popular pastime. The nearby town of Mancora has a variety of places to eat and drink, with a good number of shops and plenty of opportunities for water sports as well. Back at the hotel, there’s an outdoor swimming pool with views of the beach and ocean, a bar and a lounge for relaxing after a long day of exploring the local area.
Children are very welcome to stay at the hotel, and while there are no particular child-oriented facilities on offer, the pool and nearby beaches will no doubt keep youngsters well entertained.
I would like to say a massive thank you for organising our Vietnam trip. The itinerary and execution were superb, as was the attention to detail. I would also like to thank the agent who was on the end of my whats app chat (I have no idea who they were!) – always available, always quick to respond, and kept me updated regarding times etc. Also, the guides Dan (north) and Tien (mid) were just excellent, and we really enjoyed their company. The lady (whose name I have forgotten) who was our additional guide for the DMZ day was exceedingly good and made that day very special.

Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!
Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.
Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!
All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.
Thanks you once again!

I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.
Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.
El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.
Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.
So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last
