Inti Punku Valle Sagrado Hotel

The hotel is in a beautiful setting. Very quiet with good, if reasonably basic accommodation. Quite remote if you want to go out (a taxi is needed). We wanted to go 5 mins up the road to a hummingbird facility. It wouldn’t have taken much for a member of staff just to drop us up there (one was leaving at the time) but the guest experience doesn’t seem that important. When we went to pay at the end of the stay we were told the card machine “wasn’t working”. I was asked for cash and they attempted to over charge me. A shame really as this could be a really good hotel if it focused more on ensuring guests were happy

We chose to stay at this place for a few days to relax after a hectic schedule exploring the sacred valley. One of the drawcards for us is that it is about a 20 minute walk from the Ensifera hummingbird sanctuary, which we took the time to visit while we were there - just note it is 20 minutes of solid uphill walking. Our room was clean and we enjoyed having a balcony and a view of the gardens. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The restaurant served a good breakfast with eggs, vegetables, fruits, cereals and cheeses. We enjoyed the dinners we had there too. We just got a bit stuck because the restaurant was only open from 2pm in the afternoon, which is a lot later than we would normally have lunch, and the hotel is pretty isolated for other options. It worked for us as a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the more touristed areas.

This hotel is set in a beautiful valley with mountains surrounding it. The rooms are large and clean with either a patio or balcony overlooking the area. We really enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the quiet and the view. The bathrooms are large but could really use updating. There was a bathtub/shower combo but the tub didn't hold water and I didn't realize it until I had used all the hot water trying to fill it. And the shower pressure was very weak. The breakfast was good and filling. Another improvement would be to have food available at lunch time. We had a verrrry early pick up time in Lima of 2:45 am. We had a little bit to eat at the airport and figured we'd eat once we arrived at the hotel. When we arrived at 11:30 am, we were notified that the restaurant wouldn't open until 2:00 pm. I understand that as most people are out on tours all day but to say it was a long wait until 2 for us is an understatement. The employees were all very nice and helpful and I would stay here again but I would eat lunch in town.

Traveling to Peru was number one on my bucket list for many years. One of the highlights was staying at Inti Punku in the Sacred Valley. After the noise and bustle of Lima, coming to this place was such a welcomed change. It's so tranquil and beautiful. The room was comfortable and clean and the staff was very helpful and accommodating, especially Anabel! I love that they grow much of their own food and even have llamas and alpacas who "mow the lawn". I would definitely stay here again!
