Fodor's Expert Review La Hacienda Bahia Paracas

Opened in 2009, this hotel may not be as flashy as the nearby Libertador or Doubletree, but it's nearly as nice, and the daily supervised activities for kids are a hit with families. Part of the massive pool area butts right up against several of the rooms, so you can swim right off your porch. The rooms feature clay-tile floors and textiles modeled after the Paracas-culture designs, many of the same gadgets as the better-known chain hotels, and a private patio.
