Costa del Sol Trujillo is set just outside the city of Trujillo. The hotel features attractive rooms, breathtaking pools, and ample amenities.

Trujillo is an old colonial city with a rich past. It has one of the country’s best collections of colonial homes and churches—walking around the town’s core is a good way to see some of these. There are several museums to visit, as well as a 17th-century church (Iglesia de La Merced) and an impressive palace that was built in the mid 19th century. Outside of town are massive adobe mounds that were once a religious complex and administrative center during the Moche empire (100–800 A.D.)

Costa del Sol Trujillo is set on the outskirts of Trujillo—this gives it a quiet and secluded feel. The center of town is about a 15-minute drive away. Costa del Sol Trujillo is modern, elegant and stylish. The spacious lobby features sitting areas and public computers that guests can use to check their email.

The rooms here are spacious and contemporary. They spread out around the courtyard and have balconies/patios that look out onto the gardens and pool.

The hotel’s Rejas Restaurant is elegant and quiet. It provides guests with a nice atmosphere in which to relax and enjoy a meal. There food here is a gourmet fusion of Peruvian and international styles—and very tasty. The restaurant is a good place to hold business breakfasts or lunches.
