If you choose to stay in Huanchaco, this is a good option. Please understand, this is not an American hotel and much similar to what you will find in parts of Europe - maximum this would get two-three stars in America. It is clean, the staff is very nice (only speaks Spanish with limited English). But the views are great, it is right off the main strip. They use traditional keys, the AC is AC not heat, they hand you the remotes when you check in, etc. If I return, I will probably try the Westin in the middle of Trujillo (not sure if they have a better plumbing "situation" then the rest of the city), but I would consider staying here again if I were to stay in Huanchaco.
