Fodor's Expert Review Doubletree Hotel Paracas

The first major resort hotel to hit the Paracas coast, this all-suite, family-friendly retreat opened in 2009 and sits just a few steps down the beach from the more luxurious Libertador. Here, lazy palms surround more than 8,000 square feet of pool space that shimmer against the white facades of the guest rooms, which feature smallish living rooms and kitchenettes. The hotel abounds with activities—beyond the great pool, there's also access to the beach, as well as a spa and two restaurants.
