Spa Hotels in Puno

The hotel’s breakfast and dinner are ok, but because of the hotel’s location, it takes about 10-15 minutes by car to go to the city. 10 sol. The hotel is facing the lake view, you can see the beautiful lake view when you get up early in the morning

The big advantage of this hotel is its lakeside location. It has a boardwalk right down to the lake. We had a lake view room, but the balcony had only one chair! There was only one chair in the room, which was not suitable for taking outdoors to the balcony. We had two suitcases and there wasn't enough floor space to open them both, without blocking access to the wardrobe. (This was billed as a superior room). The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom accessories were good. The blackout blind was useful, although we had an early start each of the two mornings that we stayed there. The bar area was cosy and the service was very friendly. As for the restaurant, we had breakfast included and we were not a bit impressed. There was very little choice of hot food and it wasn't very hot. We thought the bread was dry, but in fairness we found that to be the case in most hotels in Peru. I hate to be negative but this hotel does not live up to the Premium title. The Casa Andina in Cusco is far better.

We stayed at Titilaka for three nights in September. We booked the sunrise room (room 308), and highly recommend. One of our favourite things to do every morning was order a cappuccino to be brought up to the room, and watch the sun rise before breakfast. There was one night were there was a thunderstorm in Puno, and watching the light show from the comfort of our room was breathtaking. We cannot say enough about our guide Abel. He sat down with us when we arrived at the hotel, and we organized our excursions with him. Our first full day, we went to the floating islands and we quite enjoyed seeing how they live on islands. We then went to Taquile for lunch, and the hike to and from the lunch area was very nice. It was a cloudy night, but we were also able to see the milky way. The next day, Abel took us on a hike, and we had a lot of fun, pushing our limits and reaching 4000 m. We were able to see various birds, and chinchillas. Our afternoon excursion was the bike ride, where we were able cycle through town, and see some cool bird life. Watching the sun set at the sundowner, with a drink and around other guests was a nice way to end our day. At the time of booking, we booked through Andean, which owns Titilaka, and two other properties we visited (Cirqa and Puqio). The process was very easy via Whatsapp, and we were able to check in at our first hotel and check out at Titilaka. Our dietary restrictions were communicated to all of the hotels (we are vegetarians), and we were provided a car that took us to each property, which stops to see guanacos, llamas and alpacas along the way. We very much enjoyed the drives – we had multiple bathroom breaks (the rides were 3 hours and six hours respectively), we were packed a picnic lunch and it really didn’t feel like we travelled for that long. The restaurant staff were very kind and attentive. On our last day, we asked to eat breakfast outside, and it was very nice to eat hearing the waves crashing around us. I also celebrated my birthday at Titilaka, and was surprised with a chocolate cake, which was very nice and moist. We would definitely recommend Titilaka to anyone who would like to visit the lake and thank Abel and the restaurant staff for everything!
