Hotel Centenario — Hotel in Tambopata

We ended up here after our flight was cancelled and the airline had to put us up for the night. It was a bit bland and felt a bit like a business hotel. Our room was fine, although there was only cold water in the sink and no plug. The batteries in the remote control for the air conditioner were dead and so were the ones the front desk gave us to replace them. The air conditioner was also either on or off, so we froze, then boiled, then froze once more. There was a small swimming pool on the roof. Breakfast was a large buffet, also on the roof.

The hotel restaurant leaves a lot to be desired and we were the only people in the restaurant one night. We did find a great pizza restaurant called El Hornito a short walk...

This could have been a better stay. First do not let them put you in room 201. There is non stop hammering from 7am until 8pm. I looked to find that next door to that room is an engineer shop working on machines. Plus you can hear from the closed windows cars go by all day and night. The breakfast was great. The pool was fine. The bed and sheets were not good quality. Location is a little far off too.

The review before mine convinced me to book here and so I want to put up something more realistic. We were hoping to relax after a few days in the jungle. In the end, we left and I found a better option funny enough with a cheaper price, location and...
