Echte aanrader. Goed gelegen, en gevestigd in een mooi historisch koloniaal huis. De service tijdens ons verblijf was uitmuntend. We hebben dat op een bijzondere manier mogen ervaren. Zeer vriendelijk en gastvrij, en veel extra hulp toen mijn vrouw ziek werd. Nog zeer veel dank daarvoor! We hopen nog eens terug te komen naar Arequipa. We zullen dan zeker weer een kamer boeken bij El Balcon. ##### Rob Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Jewel Paradise Cove Adult Beach Resort & Spa – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Jewel-Paradise-Cove-Adult-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h6430187.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Dallas-Dallas-Hotels.0-n800026-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in James Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/James-Bay-Victoria-Hotels.0-n6215774-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [St Martins Lane London, a Morgans Originals hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-St-Martins-Lane-London.h470865.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Florida](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Florida.d211.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Arthur](https://www.expedia.ca/Arthur-Wellington-North-Hotels.0-n3000469681-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rosita Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Rosita-Hotel.h889365.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cottages Cambridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cambridge-Cottages.d10479-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Palm Springs (PSP) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/psp/lax/palm-springs-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Lisbon District (LIS) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lis/edi/lisbon-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Oshawa (YOO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yoo/ottawa-to-oshawa) > > [Flights from Dawson Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/3925/flights-from-dawson-creek) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyc/edmonton-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Sepang (KUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bkk/kul/bangkok-to-kuala-lumpur) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Pescara (PSR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/psr/toronto-to-pescara) > > [Flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bkk/yyz/bangkok-to-toronto) > > [flights from vancouver intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yvr/flights-from-vancouver-intl-airport) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Iceland](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Iceland.d79.Car-Rental-Destinations) > > [Car rentals in Flåm](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Flam.d6024041.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Deerfield Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Deerfield-Beach.d7615.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Tenerife](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Tenerife.d6047194.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Vancouver Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Waterfront-Central-Vancouver.d6249617.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Stratford Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratford.d6057876.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Athabasca River](https://www.expedia.ca/Athabasca-River-Alberta.d553248621532864114.Vacation-Attraction) ### Vacation Rentals > [Sault Ste.
