Posada del Inca Eco-Lodge — Hotel in Isla del Sol

The property itself is charming, and the views are incredible. The room is a quaint sort of cottage arrangement. It's not fancy, but it's ok. The gardens are well maintained and pleasant to sit in on a sunny day and admire the view down to the harbor and across to the Andes. There is wifi only in the central courtyard, not in the room. The electricity was reliable. The hot water took a while to get hot, but it was very hot and plentiful once it arrived. The downside, and it's a signicant one clients need to fully understand, is that the hotel is a HARD CLIMB of a minimum of 50 minutes up the hill side from the harbor to the property. It took my friend and myself almost 90 minutes to make the walk because she had to stop repeatedly to catch her breath. The path is very rough and rocky, and there is not much shade and the sun is intense. You CANNOT BRING A STANDARD SIZED SUITCASE -- ONLY A BACK PACK. They do have a staff member who will carry your back pack for you, or you can hire a local to put it on the back of a llama in a saddle bag and you will find it when you arrive at the top. So you have to decide if you are fit enough to make the long climb. Once you get to the top, the views are indeed very impressive. There is a small restaurant with a single menu for each meal. It was basic...

Disappointing experience. We got charged 100$ for a single night on a double bed with dinner and breakfast included.

Our boat arrived at Isla del Sol at 6.30PM. We spent 45 mins looking for the hotel, which was closed and without lights outside so we could not find the entrance.

After asking several people, one helped us by grabbing a stone and hitting a door. Someone came to open it, and the first thing he said is that it was late and the cook was gone (it was 7PM).

The room was rustic and old. There was a heater whose cable touched the hot area and it was semi burnt so we could not use it. There was a heated blanket but if you turned it on you could not charge your phone. We killed 6 spiders, including one inside one of the pillows.

We finally had dinner, which consisted of a soup and chicken fillet with veggies. We asked for water and were told that we had to pay for it. There wasn't desert either.

We did not sleep well due to the old mattress and cold temperature in the room.

The next day there was no hot water. We had to ask for help. They turned something on and only one of us could take a hot shower while the other took a cold one.

Breakfast was basic: scrambled eggs, butter, jam, and a piece of bread. There was coffee and milk (just hot).

Service was unwelcoming...

A mixed experience about this lodge on Lake Titicaca. ||||The lodge itself very nice and cute up in the village with a stunning view on the lake ( not from the rooms though)||||The extreme feeling of relaxation and peace of mind that the garden, the village and the sounds of nature and animals we rarely hear nowadays are great!!||||Breakfast and dinner are basic but OK. ||||The totally negative point of the experience is that the island is car-free and to reach your hotel, you have to walk and climb stairs for more than 50 minutes. This is still part of the adventure especially that you are helped with your luggage; this is still acceptable but, at an altitude of 4’000 meters, the lack of oxygen can turn out to be a nightmare. ||||The real nightmare continues at night where one gets the horrible feeling of lacking air for long hours and experiencing something terrible. ||||Of course, we are all aware of the unpleasant feelings due to high altitude but the hotel should be more careful to inform guests of what to do during the night, whom to address to in case of emergency ( no phones in the rooms). The experience of suffocating was a...
