cushions, excellent kid's facilities, a luxuriously raked beach, a permanently smiling staff
- not to mention a full spa that offers 24kt-gold facials. Accommodation with all the trim-

: Santo Domingo lot 25; s/d US$220/260; )
The
luxury Hacienda has the air of an all-inclusive resort with some welcome local touches -
such as replica Inca murals. Lovely terraces overlook curvaceous swimming pools, and a
nice private slice of beach kisses Paracas Bay. There's a restaurant, spa, Jacuzzi and sauna
splayed across the well-watered grounds.

; Calle 1 lot 3; d S48; )
The newest hotel in on-the-
up Paracas is this brain-surgery-clean abode that offers breakfast on a pleasant rooftop ter-
race. The functional minimalist rooms sparkle, but leave little space for storage.
