KiChic

KiChic is a very tranquil and beautiful small boutique hotel. It has a well-being ethos (yoga and massages available) as well as a focus on providing its simple but high-quality menu from local and seasonal produce, cooked in different meat and vegetarian kitchens. This is an amazing place to relax, take long walks along the beach, and admire the beautiful Pacific sunsets. We stayed in the 'Chic' suite, which had a fantastic balcony and outdoor shower and direct access to the beach. The whole place is very upmarket and the service is always friendly and attentive. Thanks to Coco and the KiChic team for a special experience.

Such a beautiful oasis of luxury & relaxation in an absolutely gorgeous spot on the beach near Mancora. Couldn’t recommend it more. Beautiful food at the fantastic on site restaurant. The rooms, grounds & shared facilities all beautifully decorated & well maintained. Sit on the sun lounger by the pool & watch adult & baby humpback wales play in the see. Not to mention all the pelicans, vultures & other wildlife like the many cute crabs on the beach. Coco, Wilmer & Sergio made sure we were always well looked after.

We stayed in a nearby hotel but visited Kichic on many occasions for lunch and dinner. The food we had was exceptional, from lentil salad, crunchy veggie wrap, oriental fish dish, Thai tuna and beef burger (one of the best my husband has ever had!) The freshness of ingredients and how the food was prepared and presented was amazing. Drinks at Kichic were also great. Everything was more expensive than others locally but you pay for what you get! The staff were also so friendly and welcoming. If you like your good and drink don’t miss Kichic.

I had spent some weeks traveling in the Andes, and decided to go to Mancora to end my Peru trip as I was craving the ocean and a place to decompress. Based on reviews I chose Kichic as it also looked like a very relaxing and beautiful location. I can not express how much I enjoyed my stay here, but it was enough for me to extend my stay an extra week. Every detail of this place is perfect aesthetically and the food was healthy and delicious. The hostess Tamita went above and beyond to make my stay very comfortable and enjoyable, and was always being of service even through great conversations. I also did Yoga, and some of the massages they offer at the spa and it was all just perfect. The views of the pacific from all areas of the resort were breathtaking, and the gorgeous beach was great to walk along or go for a dip to rinse from the day. The entire staff were amazingly helpful and attentive. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Incredible flavors, vast menu of Peruvian dishes, seafood dishes and vegetarian options. All this in a gorgeous courtyard that overlooks the ocean. The ambience is really wonderful. We were told that yoga classes happen in the area next to the dining, but the dining tables are all over! Truly a wonderful experience. Although the prices are much higher than the norm for the area. A Pisco Sour is $10. Our Causa was $13. Also, unlike other restaurants in the area, they charge a 10% tax. So keep that in mind.

The property is lovely and we stayed in the casa Kichic which was amazing and huge for 2 people. Better than the photos online with a great kitchen, small pool and large terrace right on the beach. The food and drinks were great and very fresh and healthy. Our little house came with a lovely housekeeper Pilar. We booked for a week but we’re only told when we arrived that there was no yoga as they didn’t have a teacher - this was very disappointing so maybe check before you book if this is important to you. The style of the service is very hands-off. No one asks if you need anything, suggests a special cocktail or excursion or anything. We are ok with that but…. Many may not be. This place is expensive! Very expensive for Peru so perhaps a little more guest care could be good. Mancora itself is pretty underwhelming. The resort is an hour walk or a 15minute very dusty bumpy tuk tuk ride away. It was nice to get back to the serenity of kichic. Final thoughts - nicest place to stay in this part of the world for sure but for us not enough to do for a longer stay. 3 nights max
