This resort was beautiful, it is newer and in excellent condition. It has a lot of amenities such as work out area, spa, star gazing, nightly bonfires, outside launchers with sun protection. The resort is laid out in one story structure with maybe four or five to a building. There are beautiful open spaces between each building and meandering sidewalks. It has a full service restaurant and bar. The dinner we had there was very good. The most compelling thing about this resort/hotel are the staff! Everyone we encountered had a wonderful smile and greeted or acknowledged us in perfect English. Of particular was Daniela at the front desk. She was wonderful and assisted us with the check out process and locating our driver. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.
This hotel has beautiful grounds but is very remote. As a result you have no choice but to stay at the hotel for meals. The food is good. The rate included a buffet breakfast that had sufficient variety for my 2 days. The pizza place was also good. My room was booked as a single and I was “upgraded” to a quad with a small balcony. I was told that the room rate did not include coffee or tea sachets and that if I wanted coffee I would have to leave my room to get some at the cafe. . I cannot get my head around that since the cost for the little packets of coffee is quite minimal. The room upgrade also did not have a bathtub. Perhaps the worst part of my stay was that the room became quite hot and stuffy. There is no air con and so the only thing to do is to open the window. These windows do not have a lock and although I was on the second floor I did not feel safe sleeping with the window wide open. The possibility of the ever present flies joining me was not pleasant. This also required opening the curtains so that hotel lights shone in. A fan was provided on my second night and that was better. The room was clean. The shower was good but you can slip and hurt yourself if not careful because the floor tiles in the shower become dangerously slippery when wet. Other reviews have been more positive than mine. The place is beautiful, the staff are very professional but the lack of central cooling, failure to provide minimal coffee and tea sachets, the lack of an expected bathtub and remoteness of the hotel dampen my enthusiasm considerably.
Quaint, serene hotel property with stunning views of the countryside--the spectacular Andes Mountains. Efficient, kind staff. Large, spacious rooms in antique buildings. There are lovely llamas on the property eating grass and adding to the ambience. The landscaping was also charming. A little updating of the bathroom windows would be appreciated. The photos of the property look exactly as depicted. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The front desk reception (first class gentlemen) were so efficient and helpful. Thank you!!! The king-sized bed and pillows were comfortable. The hot water in the shower was slow to come on but when it did it was piping hot. Bring your toiletries because you are provided a tiny bar of hand soap and a miniature bottle of shampoo. The breakfasts were fresh and varied daily. If you get to breakfast after 8 am you will be short. The sweet spot seemed to be 7:30 am. I ate two dinners at the restaurant and enjoyed them. Everything was fresh. The wait staff was wonderful. The suite was cleaned daily and I had no complaints. Bring cash with you because using your credit card for cabs/drivers might be difficult. This property embodies the essence and cultural richness of Sacred Valley. I highly recommend this establishment.
We were staying 2 nights in Machu Picchu so wanted a central based hotel - this was spot on right in the middle of the bustling town. 10 min walk from the train station and 5 min walk to the bus for Machu Picchu citadel. The hotel rooms were clean and tidy - very environmentally friendly. Great bar and eating areas - reception area very welcoming. You can leave your bags in their storage, if you check out and have a later train. The bar also has happy hour (so do most places!) You step out of the front door into one of the main streets, less than 5 min walk to the square. Can’t fault this Hotel - perfect location for a stay in Machu Picchu.
There is a lot of choice in Aguas Calientes and I chose the Amakonkay Machu Picchu based on the location in Aguas Calientes and the price compared to other accommodation and it was a great little place to stay for three nights. The location is perfect with shops and restaurants nearby, the bus stop to Machu Picchu at the end of the alleyway and the main square just around the corner. It is a short walk from the train station and the hotel folks are waiting for you with your name on a board. A clean and comfortable room and I had some of the best nights sleep at the hotel while touring Peru. The breakfast was large and tasty with half a huge avocado, ham, cheese, scrambled egg, breads, juice, etc. and while in Peru the breakfasts here were some of the best. The staff were really friendly and helpful and given the location, price , rooms and breakfast this makes for a good base in Aguas Calientes.
The staff were like family and very accommodating. I HIGHLY recommend your next stay here. They were very helpful in so many way, that I wanted to stay another night. They kept my belongings secure, and even helped me carry my bag to the train station. Best wishes to the Staff and many fortunes.
No, it is not The Park Hyatt, but remember, you are in the mountains of Peru, readying for a trek, not shopping on Fifth Avenue. The hotel is clean, safe, quiet conveniently located to restaurants, the train station, shpos and bars...the beds are comfortable, the shower and wifi work fine, breakfast was more than adequate. The chap running th property was super friendly and helpful, going out of his way to look after us. Even after checking out and returning inn the afternoon we were welcomed with tea and a dry place to shelter. We'd come back here simply due the kindnesss we were afforded.
