Casa del Sol Hotel

Fantastic spa with a river view

Casa del Sol Hotel Aguas Calientes

Casa del Sol is one of the hotels along the river that really takes advantage of the view over the water and of the jungle-covered cliff rising from the river. The rooms are not big but they are a good value for the price and the larger rooms have a private jacuzzi overlooking the river.

Though the jacuzzi was tempting, I went for the downstairs spa, which has a patio just above the river. The salt water of the private spa pool feels fantastic, especially after a long day hiking around Machu Picchu.

The website claims that it is a 4* but in Cusco it would be a 3*. If you want a good view of the river, comfortable beds, a fantastic spa and to go out to a restaurant for dinner, then this is a good choice.

My only complaint about Casa del Sol was that their dinner service was extremely slow.
