    delicious breakfast
    clean accommodations
    unique decor
    limited ocean view
    disappointing wet bar
    awkward entry

    The breakfast was excellent, featuring unique Peruvian dishes, and I enjoyed the clean, comfortable accommodations. However, the ocean view was limited and the shared wet bar area didn’t meet expectations. This place works well for couples or solo travelers looking for something different.

    poor maintenance

    Unique architecture, eclectic room decor, beautiful inner courtyard

    Check-in process could use clarity!!! Limited ocean views felt misleading!!! Awkward entry gives a poor first impression!!! Inconsistent maintenance leaves much to be desired!!!

    great coffee
    confusing check-in

    The Peruvian coffee served at the attached Secret Cafe was possibly the best I've ever tasted.

    The check-in process was unclear and could definitely be improved to avoid confusion for incoming guests.

    beautiful courtyard
    quirky vibe
    obstructed view
    limited dining options

    A unique and cozy escape!

    The design was striking, with a beautiful courtyard filled with plants and a quirky vibe that made the stay fun. I really enjoyed the comfy bed and the included breakfast from the attached restaurant, which served delicious Peruvian dishes. However, the view from my balcony was less than stunning, mostly obstructed by taller buildings.

    unique breakfast

    The breakfast was out of this world, cooked to perfection by the attached restaurant staff. Each morning, I indulged in their unique Peruvian dishes that managed to surprise me,, seriously, those flavors were something else.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but you know, it was still acceptable for what we got.

    beautiful decor
    great location
    amazing host

    the secret garden inn had stunning decor and was conveniently located behind the main drag, making it easy to explore shops and restaurants. the host was amazing and made us feel welcome during our stay.

    a mild critique is the breakfast situation, as the restaurant didn't open for meals during our stay.

    beautiful courtyard
    delicious breakfast
    misleading ocean view

    My stay was really enjoyable, thanks to the beautiful inner courtyard with plants and a pond, and the amazing Peruvian breakfast that was simply delicious. However, I found the ocean view to be more of a stretch than I'd hoped for. I'd definitely consider returning for the unique experience!

    vibrant decor
    beautiful courtyard
    breakfast selection

    Staying here with my large family and our two dogs was a blast! The atmosphere was welcoming, and we really enjoyed the vibrant decor and the beautiful courtyard. The kids loved exploring the local shops and easy access to the beach, making our stay memorable.

    My wife says that a better breakfast selection for families would be great.

    This place suits me perfectly, offering free parking, a flat-screen TV, and strong wi-fi. On my first stay, the staff helped with a food delivery number, making it feel welcoming. Highly recommend for a city break!

    unique architecture
    delicious breakfast
    misleading ocean view
    awkward entry
    substandard wet bar

    The unique architecture and beautiful inner courtyard filled with plants and a pond create a lovely atmosphere. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring authentic Peruvian dishes that delighted my palate, especially the laksa, which was flavorful and satisfying. However, the ocean view from the balcony was much less impressive than advertised, and the shared wet bar was disappointing in terms of offerings. Additionally, the entry path through the cafe felt awkward and could use some improvement.
