Considering it is in an oasis, surrounded by 600 ft of sand on all sides, its a great place
Staff was friendly and generous, large rooms, convenient breakfast, wifi worked all over the property.
We will recommend to anyone heading in that direction.

We had a great stay here. Location was excellent and the bar/cafe area was lovely to relax in. Only suggestion would be a lift to make getting to the top floors with your luggage easier.

Stayed in a 4 bed dorm which was pretty small but the adjoining bathroom was good with a large shower, hairdryer etc.
Bunks all had curtains for privacy
Nice beach bar vibe in the restaurant/bar area. Music was off by about 11pm so didn't disturb at all

This property treated us very well! The room size was good with a good enough view. The music stops at about 10pm which was nice as well. The food was surprisingly good and much better than nearby options. It’s the closest you can get to the desert part of Huacachina and I really liked the location. I would recommend this stay in Huacachina!

We had a great time at Bananas Adventure Hotel! It’s located right in front of the Oasis, and everything is within walking distance. The staff provided excellent customer service, and the food and drinks were delicious! The rooms were clean, though I do wish there were more outlets in the bathroom. Overall, we had an amazing stay!
