Blue Three Chancay Peru

Unbelievable Blue Oasis: Chancay, Peru's Hidden Gem!

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because you're in for the REAL review of the Unbelievable Blue Oasis in Chancay, Peru. And when I say "real," I mean…let’s just say I’m not holding anything back. SEO? Yeah, we'll sprinkle that in there. Honesty? Overflowing!

First Impressions: The "Unbelievable" Hype…Is It Real?

Okay, so Chancay. Never heard of it before, right? That's kinda the point. This place is marketed as a “hidden gem,” an escape from the typical tourist traps. And… well, the "Unbelievable" part is doing some heavy lifting. Let's dive in, shall we?

Accessibility: Making Sure Everyone Can Join the Fun (Sort Of)

Accessibility: Let's be honest, this is a tricky one. Finding concrete information on this is harder than finding a decent cup of coffee in Lima (I’m looking at you, Starbucks!). I suspect there are elevators, but this would be a key thing to double check with the hotel. I'd hate for anyone to have to climb endless stairs to their room!
Wheelchair Accessibility: This is where the "hidden gem" part might reveal a few rough edges. Inquire directly with the hotel about specific accessibility features, like ramps, accessible restrooms, and room accommodations.
Facilities for Disabled Guests: Double-check with the property regarding specific amenities. Always best to confirm before you go to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

The Good Stuff: Relaxation, Relaxation, Relaxation (and Maybe a Little Bit of Weird)

Okay, this is where Blue Oasis starts to shine. Picture this: you're exhausted, the air is thick with that salty Peruvian breeze, and you just need to… chill.

Spa/Sauna/Steamroom/Pool with View: This is the bread and butter, the stuff that sells the dream. The pool…the blue oasis…it’s the star! I spent a glorious afternoon just floating, staring up at the sky. Pure bliss. The sauna and steam room? Standard stuff, but a welcome addition after a long day of…well, doing nothing.
Massage/Body Scrubs/Body Wraps: Book a dang massage! I went for a full body, and it was fantastic. Listen, everything in Peru seems to be an experience built on a foundation of relaxation.
Fitness Center/Gym/Fitness: I walked past it. A couple of times. From what I could see, it was pretty well-equipped. But honestly, I was too busy relaxing. No judgement!
Foot Bath: Now THIS is something different. It was a surprisingly lovely way to unwind, feeling the water on your feet and just… be.

Poolside Musings - The "View" Conundrum and Quirky Observations

Okay, here's the thing: the "view" of the pool is… well, it's of the pool. It's nice. It's blue. It’s relaxing. But it's not exactly epic. Don't expect a mountain vista or a dramatic ocean panorama. But does it matter? Nah. The point is the feeling. The quiet. The chance to just… be.

Now, about those pool towels… they were a little… used. Not exactly a luxury experience. Honestly, I almost asked for a new one. But then again, maybe it adds to the charm?

Cleanliness and Safety: Keeping it Clean, Keeping You Safe (Hopefully!)

Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment. Okay, the Covid thing is in full force here. Which is good, I guess? I'm also glad to see they seem to have the basics covered. The hand sanitizer dispensers were everywhere.
Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit: Standard stuff. Good to know it's there.
Safe dining setup: This is what I would hope from any hotel.
Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays: Good to know, for both the guests and the hotel itself.

Food, Glorious Food: (And Maybe a Few Quirks)

Restaurants, Bar, Poolside bar, Coffee shop, Snack bar, and more! Yep, you've got options. Lots of options. Here's the lowdown:
- The A la carte restaurant: Good, but… a little slow. Be prepared to relax (again).
- Asian food in restaurant: Surprisingly, the chicken stir-fry was actually pretty decent. Didn't expect that!
- Breakfast [buffet], Western breakfast, Asian breakfast: The breakfast buffet was… adequate. The coffee was pretty terrible. I got a side of fruit which was perfect, because it would give me some energy.
- Happy hour: Essential. Because vacation.
- Room service: Convenient, but the food was… not as tasty as in the restaurant. Avoid ordering the pizza. Trust me.
- Other: You could technically order a bottle of water, or coffee.
Desserts in restaurant: Try the cheesecake, it was amazing.
Breakfast in room: Is possible, which I think is such a great idea.

Services and Conveniences: The Things You Didn’t Know You Needed (Until You Did)

Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meetings, Safety deposit boxes, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events: The usual stuff. Everything worked, which is always a good sign. Shout out to the housekeeping staff – my room was spotless every day.
Contactless check-in/out: Perfect for a paranoid germaphobe like ME!
Food delivery: I didn't use this, but it's always good to have the option.
Gift/souvenir shop: Good to find presents for loved ones.

For the Kids: Is This a Family Destination?

Family/child friendly, Babysitting service, Kids facilities, Kids Meal: Based on what I witnessed, I'd say yes, it's family-friendly. I saw kids running around happily. They have a playroom.

Rooms and Amenities: The Nitty-Gritty

Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens: All the basics are covered, and then some. The rooms are comfortable and well-equipped.

Blue Three Chancay Peru

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your pristine, perfectly-planned itinerary. This is… well, this is my attempt at a trip to Blue Three (Chancay, Peru), filtered through the gloriously chaotic lens of me. Prepare for tangents, existential crises fueled by questionable street food, and the distinct possibility of me forgetting which way is up.

BLUE THREE (CHANCEY) - THE TRIP OF MY (MAYBE) DREAMS (AND PROBABLY NIGHTMARES)

Day 1: Arrival and the Great Peruvian Confusion

Morning (ish): LAND! Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima. I swear, the air smells of exhaust fumes, anticipation, and a hint of desperation for a good cup of coffee. Finding my ride? A nightmare. The guy holding the sign maybe had my name? More like a vague approximation. He was wearing a hat that looked like a disfigured pineapple. This is my life now.
Afternoon: The drive! Oh, the drive. Lima is a relentless assault on the senses. Traffic? Glorious chaos. Buildings? A stunning symphony of half-finished constructions and vibrant street art. We finally get to Chancay. Or at least, I think it's Chancay. My Spanish is… let's say emerging.
Late Afternoon: Check-in to my… "hotel." Let's call it "charming" instead of "barely-held-together." The room? Has a view of a wall. A very interesting wall. I suspect the paint job was applied by a blind chimpanzee. But hey, at least it has a bed. Or, a… surface. I try to sleep. My anxiety is sky-rocketing. Will I be safe? Will I be stolen? Will I be eaten by a llama? (I hear llama is a delicacy).
Evening: First meal! I stumble out, starving, and find a tiny "restaurant" (more like a slightly-less-damp shack) filled with locals. Menu? Pretty much a series of indecipherable symbols. I point randomly. What arrives is… some sort of stew. Smells amazing. Tastes… interesting. Pretty sure I just ate a part of an animal I can't identify. But! The local beer is cold. And everyone's friendly, even though they're all staring at the gringa. This is actually perfect and probably what I needed…

Day 2: The Fortress of Rancay (and a Moment of True Wonder)

Morning: I drag myself out of the "bed" (still not entirely sure what it's made of). The sun is beating down, and I'm fighting a serious case of "is this real life?" This is where the itinerary should have the grand plan, but I woke up late. And without my coffee. A big mistake.
Late Morning: THE FORTRESS: My first real adventure! The Fortaleza de Chancay. I spent the entire morning there, and it was the best thing. It's this enormous, crumbling structure perched on a cliff, with stunning views. I wandered through the ruins, imagining the history. The place feels like a real-life Indiana Jones set. I lost track of time taking photos and I felt like I was in a movie.
Afternoon: Lunch… I'm starving! I finally get to try ceviche. I eat this dish too fast; it's delicious! Now let's play with the emotions, because it really wasn't perfect. I also have a massive, stomach-churning bout of diarrhea. The ceviche was great, but I was wrong.
Late Afternoon: I was so sick. I spend the next few hour in my "hotel." I hate this room so much.
Evening: I have a strong urge to go back to the bar where I got lunch so I could eat more ceviche again.

Day 3: Beach Day (and a Questionable Encounter)

Morning: Beach! The beach at Chancay. It's… well, it's a beach. Gritty sand, crashing waves, a few stray dogs. I'm happy, it's great. The water is cold, but the sun feels amazing. Bliss.
Afternoon: The Encounter. A group of locals starts chatting with me. They're friendly, maybe a little too friendly? One guy keeps winking. Is he flirting? Is he trying to sell me something? Is he going to steal my passport? My paranoia is in overdrive. I manage to disentangle myself, promising a return "sometime." Never again. I escape to the nearest ice cream stand.
Late Afternoon: I wander. I get lost. I find a tiny, hidden craft market. I haggle with a woman over a ridiculously colorful llama-shaped ornament. Success!
Evening: Dinner at a slightly-less-dodgy-looking restaurant. I stick to something boiled this time. And two beers. Maybe three. The sunset over the ocean is beautiful. I feel… okay. Maybe I'll survive this after all.

Day 4: Departure (and a Promise to Come Back… Maybe)

Morning: Last breakfast. I make the mistake of ordering something with eggs. I think I still feeling the effects of diarrhea. Check out. Head back to the airport.
Afternoon: The flight home. I’m exhausted, sunburnt, slightly traumatized, and utterly changed. I will never be the same after this trip. I had some truly amazing moments, and everything in between.
Evening: Back home. I'm already planning the next trip. Maybe not to Peru. But, hey, who knows?

Important Notes (and Ramblings):

Spanish: Learn some basic Spanish. My attempts were disastrous, but it made things… interesting.
Food: Be adventurous. But maybe carry some Imodium.
Safety: Trust your gut. If a situation feels off, leave.
Embrace the Chaos: Things will go wrong. Get lost. Eat questionable food. It's all part of the adventure.
Don't be afraid to cry, laugh, or scream into the void. It's all good.
Chancay really is beautiful.

So, there you have it. My incredibly messy, flawed, and hopefully somewhat entertaining attempt at a travel itinerary. Good luck, and try not to end up in the emergency room. Or, you know, do. Either way, tell me about it.

Blue Three Chancay Peru

Unbelievable Blue Oasis: Chancay, Peru - FAQ (Mostly)

Okay, so... Chancay? What's the big deal, and WHERE is it even?

Alright, let's get this straight. Chancay. Think... not Machu Picchu. Think... way less crowded. Think... a bizarre, almost-desert-like landscape punctuated by a brilliant, seemingly impossible, oasis. It's not the *same* kind of "big deal" as the stuff in your travel brochures, got it? But it's a big deal if you're into avoiding hordes and experiencing something genuinely unique. AND it's a solid day trip from Lima. We're talking north of Lima, like, a couple of hours. Be prepared for some dust. And some questionable road conditions. But also... amazing scenery. Seriously, once the sand starts to change color in the late afternoon... *chef's kiss*. I almost lost it from sheer beauty. Almost.

Is it... safe? Because the internet can be a bit dramatic.

Look, let's be honest. Nowhere is *perfectly* safe, right? I went with a friend, and we felt... mostly fine. The main town of Chancay itself seemed okay. The local kids were even playing soccer in the dusty streets, which is usually a good sign, right? (Side note: their soccer skills are *way* better than mine). However, you're still in Peru, so keep an eye on your belongings. Don't flash around your fancy camera. And maybe don't walk around alone at night. Use your common sense. We got some questionable side-eye from a couple of guys in a beat-up truck – possibly just curiosity, possibly not. Better safe than sorry. Trust me, I'm a worrier. I almost didn't go because I read something *slightly* negative online. Glad I did though.

Okay, so the oasis... what's the deal with the water? Is it, like, actually blue?

Yes. The water is... well, it's *blue*. Really, really blue. Like, someone-poured-dye-into-it-but-it's-totally-natural blue. Picture a postcard, only *real*. And it's a *huge* contrast to the desert landscape. There's a lagoon, and there are people swimming in it. And there are even some water sports, but honestly, I'm more of a relax-and-drink-a-beer-by-the-water type. (And yes, they sell beer. Thank the travel gods.) But the water... it's a *beautiful* blue. It's the perfect antidote to the heat and the dust. I spent like, three hours just staring at it. I'm not even a water person, usually.

What's there to do besides stare at the blue water?

Okay, so, here's the thing: it's not exactly a bustling metropolis. Prepare yourself for a lot of chill time. But! There is more! You can:

Eat lunch at a lakeside restaurant: Expect simple, local food. We had some grilled fish that was *divine*. Seriously, best fish I've had in ages. The view was a good bonus.
Take a boat ride: You can hire a little boat to explore the lagoon. Pretty cool, gives you a different perspective.
Water Sports: They have paddle boats and even jet skis. Not my cup of tea, but some people were having a blast.
Hike a bit. Okay, it's less hiking, more exploring the surrounding area.
Just... breathe. Seriously. It's a great place to just unplug and disconnect.

Can I swim in the lagoon?

Yes! Absolutely! There are designated swimming areas. The water is – well, it's not freezing, but it's not exactly bathwater either. Refreshing, I'd say. We saw kids splashing around, and a couple of older folks too. Bring your swimsuit! Or don't, if you're feeling adventurous... (Just kidding! Unless...?) Warning: I'm pretty sure I swallowed some water. It didn't taste great, but I survived. And honestly? Worth it.

What's the food like? And should I be worried about "Peruvian tummy"?

The food is... simple, as I said. Think fresh seafood, grilled meats, rice, and potatoes. And, of course, Peruvian staples like ceviche. The grilled fish I had: seriously, *outstanding*. Don't expect Michelin-star dining, but you'll probably find something you enjoy. As for "Peruvian tummy"... always exercise caution! Only eat at places that *look* clean and busy. Wash your hands frequently. Drink bottled water. I packed some Imodium, just in case (thankfully, I didn't need it). I would *highly* suggest avoiding the street food unless you're feeling *really* adventurous and have a cast-iron stomach. I saw some questionable carts, and I was like: Nope. Nope. Nope. Stay safe, people!

Best time to go?

This is a good question! The weather in Chancay is generally warm and sunny year-round, but... avoid the peak summer months (December to February) if you're not a fan of extreme heat and big crowds. We went in May, and it was perfect. Sunny, but not scorching. Less crowded too. And the sunsets? Oh. My. Goodness. The way the light hit the sand dunes... Just go. Just... go. Maybe don't tell *everyone* about it, though. We don't want to ruin it, do we?

How do I get there? Public transport or a tour?

You've got options! Public transport (like a bus) is the budget-friendly way, but it's going to be a long trip, and the buses are often crowded and potentially a bit bumpy. If you like adventure, go for it! Then there are organized tours, which handle all the logistics. That can be good if you want to relax and just enjoy it. We went for a private driver. A bit pricier, but totally worth it for the flexibility and the comfort. Road conditions are... not amazing. The driver knew the route and didn't have to deal with the bus or train people. Whatever you do, book your transport *in advance*. Especially ifTop Places To Stay
