El Mirador de Vichayito — Hotel in Los Órganos

This hotel is in Vichayito on an unpaved road and is set on a hill which overlooks the ocean. Unfortunately there is construction going on which makes it a little noisy and will definitely affect the view from Rooms 1 and 2 when finished. It's a bit of a steep climb from the road but not too difficult for those in good health. Our room was not the best in the hotel, being close to the road (and thus the construction) as well as to the restaurant and main desk, and our terrace was easily accessible and thus potentially vulnerable. Locking the entrance should be enough to keep thieves away. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, and all have a view of the sea with a nice terrace. There is excellent pressure in the shower and the beds big and conducive to sleep. We would have liked hand towels and better pillows, however. There is a pool, which is a little small and a bit slippery in the shallow end. Those who can't swim very well should avoid the main pool, which is 1.8 meters deep. But it is very relaxing to sit at the pool after a swim and soak up the sun in mid-afternoon. The personnel (many of whom are Venezuelans) were very friendly and helpful. The free breakfast is a little light--strictly continental, but you can order more if you wish (for a price). The meals were very good, with emphasis on seafood, as expected. However, they don't seem to have enough place mats to go around--they can't be that expensive! There is a sushi bar across the road on the way to the beach, with happy hour in the evenings. Prices of drinks and food are quite reasonable. The beach area has vast areas for walking, and the hotel is within walking distance of both Mancora (some 7 kms north) and Organos, about 5 kms. south. The water was not warm, just somewhat cool--invigorating, in other words. We were with friends, and enjoyed our four days here immensely. We would definitely return to this hotel. But for those who want to be closer to Mancora, you might want to try one of the hotels further north--more...

Antes de leer estas líneas, deben saber que esto no es una opinión, se trata de una reseña que ofrece lo NECESARIO para garantizar que tu decisión de hospedarte sea la correcta. Iniciando con las instalaciones, se puede percibir que cumplen con lo que se pueda observar en las fotos. Algo que quizás no se muestre -y por razones obvias- es el extenso camino con pendiente para poder dirigirse a las habitaciones (sobre todo si se tratan de las que están ubicadas sobre la piscina), un punto en contra si es que deseas viajar con niños o adultos mayores. Más que un sobresaliente, podemos encontrar una ligera diferencia respecto a las habitaciones matrimoniales simples y las que tienen jacuzzi. Es importante mencionar que, no se muestra mucho -en fotos, acerca de estas últimas. Ya que por tan solo 100 soles más (del paquete 3D/2N), se puede tener una habitación con frigobar (no limpio, pero en funcionamiento), un SmartTv de 51 plg. (irónicamente smart, ya que en ningún momento del tiempo ahí, funcionó la conexión Wifi) y una mesa para dos personas dentro de la habitación. En ambas habitaciones se puede rescatar una vista agradable, desde la primera puedes observar el horizonte y, por supuesto, el mar. En cuanto a la habitación con jacuzzi, puedes gozar de un ambiente más iluminado y fresco, aunque no del todo confortable (si no gustas de la compañía de insectos; sean hormigas en la cama, moscas y algún insecto que emane olores no agradables). Eso sí, no todo es como podrías esperar, ya que como suele pasar, la foto tomada desde un iphone resalta siempre lo mejor de su enfoque, pero en la realidad no encontrás una cama con toallas limpias ni acomodadas en forma de algún animal. Así como tampoco las sales que puedan verse en las fotos, al borde del jacuzzi.

Respecto a la atención del personal, es muy rescatable decir que algunos sobresalen de otros, en cuestión de carisma, atención y tino para el trato con los huéspedes. ¡ADVERTENCIA! Estas líneas no tienen intención de generar suspicacia o xenofobia, pero el personal de nacionalidad extranjera, simplemente no sabían dirigirse de modo que los huéspedes (mi novia y yo) sintieramos la acogida del establecimiento. Y ojo, ese es un detalle que marca una gran referencia si a futuro uno busca regresar a algún lugar.

Siendo más puntual, el ambiente es muy acogedor, música tenue y agradable en el restaurante de la piscina; tanto que terminarás llevando ese sonido de piano de fondo hasta el fin de tu estadía. Así como el fondo musical repetitivo, tendrás un desayuno que viene incluido en el paquete, además de opciones -de paga- que incluyen más panes y la mínima variedad de bebidas frescas para acompañar tu desayuno. Así que, suponiendo que por cuestiones de administración o gerencia, no puedas ver en marcha el criterio del chef o su equipo en cocina, el cual implicaría ofrecerte frutas frescas, pan del día (por la zona), jugos y desayunos apetecibles. Entonces, espera recibir una taza de café pasado -caliente- a más de 30° en los exteriores del lugar; huevos revueltos (los cuales disminuyen en presentación y calidad, conforme pasen los días de tu estadía), panes (no del día), mantequilla, un tanto de mermelada y por supuesto, un vaso mediano de jugo (fresco y de 2 elecciones de sabor). Y si eres de los que no consiguen degustar y apreciar a plenitud lo que representa la primer comida del día; considera que ni siquiera el contraste del bello ambiente exterior conseguirá que lo...
