Beautiful location but very corporate feel. My group (13ppl) stayed there 3 days which was way too long. There isn’t much to do except getting massage and drink $6 cup of coffee (yes 6USD). Food was pretentious, trying to pass for high end but considering how disorganized the service was, and how long it takes the get food, you know it’s not high end running kitchen. They would be better off to serve simple, local food family style. We were the only permanent group there for those few days. I can’t imagine how the kitchen would survive if the entire dining hall would be full. Not the worst place, but $400 a night you can definitely skip it without missing anything significant.

My Stay at Las Qolqas Eco Resort was absolutely amazing. I went to Ollantaytambo in early March, the weather was beautiful, slight rainfall, but mostly sunny. The eco resort is ideally located next to a river surrounded by mountains on both sides. Although it is only about 2 miles from the city center (~30 minute walk), it felt like we were totally disconnected from the outside world during the stay. The day we reached, I was starving and we were greeted with lunch in the main dining area, the ceviche was one the best we have had in our life. The drinks were also top notch. The concierge at the front desk, GianCarlo, was extremely polite and walked us to our cabin after lunch. Walking through the resort, you witness many different species of plants and fruit trees. I fell in love with this resort instantly. The resort also provides free drop off and pick up service to and from the city center during the daytime, until 6PM. If you plan to stay out late in the city, then you have arranged your own taxi or walk back to the resort. We did not mind the walk and actually enjoyed it. I believe the whole idea of the stay at the resort is to disconnect from the outside world, to unwind and enjoy the resort amenities. Overall the entire staff, including GianFranco, Hector, Rolando, Macoy, was very helpful and kind. However, we interacted with GianCarlo the most during our stay. He was an absolute pleasure to speak with and be around. He even shared his knowledge about the town of Ollantaytambo and the sights we should check out. He gave me a tour of the library and introduced some great books to look through to read about the history of the town and the sacred valley. I highly recommend staying at this resort to disconnect and revitalize your soul, however, I would suggest allocating a couple of days outside of your other planned activities in order to enjoy the nature, food and the resort itself without any interruptions. :)
