Máncora

Has a party atmosphere downstairs and a chilled out open upstairs terrace with a dart board and good views of the town, playing great music at a volume that won't make your ears bleed. They serve domestic & imported beers & ales, and make good strong cocktails. They also have possibly the nicest toilets in Mancora.

Natural ambiance on Las Pocitas Beach, a good place for whale watchers and dolphin lovers. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining room kitchen, terraces.

Recommended by the locals, private rooms around a central area, all with private bathrooms. Also has a pool. Rooms are a bit shabby, hotel needs some renovations. No hot water.

A basic hostel with a pool, a nice yard and hammocks.

A member of the Loki chain, with a prime plot of land stretching from the main drag to the beach. Good clean rooms, internet, hot water and fully equipped with all the backpackers facilities. To chill there is also a 26-meter swimming pool and a big bar.

Nice rustic-style privates as well as dorm rooms, with rooms in a bamboo building with hammocks outside, and a breakfast area (eggs, bread and coffee included) in another building across the way. Really nice couple running it. In a quiet area 5 minutes to the nicest stretch of beach in town (on the north side). Very cheap, S/30 person for a private. Take a moto-taxi, only S/1-3, and much easier than trying to find the place on your own.
