Isla Caquincorane Tours and Activities

The place and staff were exceptional. The only problem I had with it all was it was an extremely cold, cloudy day. After arriving about 2 PM, on a freezing day, and after seeing my jetted tub in the window nook, all I wanted was the promised 24 hour available hot water that was promised. Unfortunately, there was not only NOT a showers worth of hot water, but also not even a moments worth of hot water. The margins were warmer than freezing, and just colder than tepid. I realize that their system uses solar heaters, but you can’t have it both ways. You cannot both say that the water will not always be available, due to the system, but also that it is available 24 hours a day. It simply was not true. Nobody washed yesterday, and we all pretty much layered clothes on and hid under the welcoming heavy blankets until the propane heaters were turned on sometime after dinner. At that point until they were turned off, the room was quite comfortable. I will admit that had I gone on a sunny and clear day, the situation would have been markedly different. All in all, even in SPITE of a lack of hot water, I feel that this is an amazing location, and that the people who work there are exceptional. I would happily return here at a future date, if I knew it was not going to be freezing out. The view, and the feeling there was exceptional, and I still absolutely encourage anybody who wants to get away to enjoy a night or two. Just being gloves and one of the alpaca hats if cold.

The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful, and the dinners were the best food we had in Peru.

The best part was how attentive and helpful the staff was. I had a foot sprain and they helped with crepe bandage, ice, medication. Getting their support was a quick phone call away. The view was exceptional. We had a very relaxing stay. We are loyal to the Sonesta chain as well.
