Visited for my birthday in late April 2024 and it was a magical experience. The hotel is situated across the river in Agua Calientes set amongst the trees. You really feel like you are in the jungle but at a five star resort. You have to cross one of two bridges to enter or exit the hotel and it really feels like it’s its own little oasis. The rooms are bungalow style and are quite large with fireplaces. Breakfast and dinner is covered in your stay and everyone eats in the same dining hall down near the river. They have two heated pools and one non-heated and also have a spa. The only part that we didn’t like is they ask that you throw away your toilet paper instead of flushing it, which is new for Westerners. The idea of throwing away used toilet paper in a trashcan was not my favorite part, but I can deal with almost anything when I am traveling. I would say this is by far the best hotel in Aguas Calientes, after the Belmond right at the entrance of Machu Picchu, however, it is twice as expensive as Inkaterra. The third best option would be Sumaq. We were lucky enough to get a light rainstorm shortly after getting into our room for the night on day one and it was the best sleep soundtrack I have heard in a long time. All the orchids, flora, and fauna surrounding our room really made it a magical experience. I would suggest to anyone traveling to Machu Picchu, especially anyone who appreciates a unique five star hotel.
