Hotel Camu Camu||||Iquitos||||I highly recommend Camu Camu as they were a life saver for me the day I arrived into Iquitos (which I loved very much) however my arrival into Iquitos did not get off on the right foot after a series of unfortunate events, you know how goes at times, however with the help of a very kind and friend Francisco, a Moto Taxi driver and guide with Alternativas Turisticas De Loreto, who assisted me greatly and led me to Camu Camu which I am highly greatful for, as they gave me a very warm welcome and assurance, I immediately felt safe and very comfortable there. The young man at the desk was so very kind and helpful, he was very reassuring and took time in assisting me in any questions and getting settled. I was so very greatful and thankful to the young man at the desk and to Francisco. Overall I felt very safe and felt reassured, I was able to do what I needed to do without any worries.||||The room itself was very accommodating, it was spacious, had AC, a TV, and a fridge, I was very comfortable! They are located right by the town Center, Plaza de Armes, and I was even able to walk to the Mercado de Belén, and to the Amazon River. I could of walked also to the Maniti Museum but it was closed. Definitely a couple of reasons to return!!! And I will definitely be staying at the Camu Camu again, as their friendliness and service and helpfulness was beyond my expectations and high class! I also want to thank my Guardian Angel Francisco for all his help and leading me to the Camu Camu! There are still many great people in this world and...
Read moreI dont do reviews often because I am a bad digital traveler and my grammar is horrendous but I don't have enough good things to say about this place, especially as a backpacker. Met with fresh juice, clean rooms, AC!, and TVs in the rooms when we entered.(If youre used to backpacking than you know how luxury that is). ||Now, the real reason I choose to write about this place is the kindness they showed my girlfriend and I after we checked out. They allowed us to leave our luggage behind the front desk all day letting us inconvience them as the vagabonds we are, which right off the bat means a lot to me. ||Not only that, as we were preparing to take a cargo boat to Leticia Colombia they were so kind as we rudely went in and out of the hotel collecting supplies and using their Internet which they allowed for free. The front desk persons usually a man named Jamie or a woman named Jessica helped us with directions and advice for our upcoming boat and also sold me copious beers from their cooler at a reasonable price. (I just add that because I love beer and it was very hot that day). ||There are a lot of other things I'd like to add but it would just go on and on. The last note I'll make is their well placed location next to Plaza de Armas and several great restaurants and bars. Thank you guys for reading and I hope you choose to...
Read morei came into iquitos for a good nights rest. the jungle is very damp and cold. I'm sitting in the reception now as the wifi send to work down here but not in my floor. At 6 am it seems the people I heard all night partying are finally leaving. That man came to my door smelling bad of diesel at 4 am. Apologized as it was the whole room, them he went to another and knocked and yet another. Needless to say i did not get good sleep. also my room is dirty. the bed hasnt been swept under and the walls have something on them. i don't want to shower because if those are dirty, it seems the shower probably...
