Positive: Male concierge greeting us was lovely. And very informative. The sound of the river flowing around the property was amazing. The free use of the hot springs whilst being able to gaze out at the mountains. Lovely place.

Negative: Nothing. But you wouldn’t mind have to get a taxi to food if You didn’t want to eat here. It is close to Chivay but would take an hour to drive out to scenic hikes/mirador Condor etc.

Positive: The property is located in a stoning river, the place it’s completely beautiful and natural, this is for sure the best fact about the hotel. The staff were nice, they helped us carry the luggage to our room which was actually far from the reception. The hotsprings are natural and mineral, coming from the mountain. The breakfast was a decent buffet with a variety of options. Great other thing is that is quit, Peru can be noisy as people wake up early, but in this hotel you can sleep until a normal time (8am instead of 5 am)

Negative: The first thing we definitely didn’t like was the beds and pillows, they were hard and not the nicest, for the price of the hotel we were expecting better, the rooms are nice and spacious, while the place was clean, it did felt a bit dusty. The hotel only provides you with a pump of soap, no conditioner or shampoo, again for a hotel of their status this is a must. Finally the hot springs are not very hot, they did warm us it was “ideal temperature” 38 degrees, but if you come from Europe or North America you usually expect hotsprings way hotter than this, I still think that there might be a natural factor in terms of the temperature of the water so I mean it’s what you get for having an actual natural hot spring.

Summary: Beautiful place to enjoy nature and hotsprings
