Titilaka

This was one of the best hotel and travel experiences we’ve had!! From the beautiful lake, the amazing amenities (hot tub, gorgeous room view, massage, woodfire stove etc) to the delightful team that was caring kind and thoughtful, as well as the delicious meals, we loved everything about our stay. The daytime offerings were great - we went birdwatching, learned about the Lake and boated across visiting Tequile island, and also spent time taking in archeological sites including the portal at Amaru Mara. Thank you, thank you for a wonderful stay!!!

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!

This is a beautiful hotel with wonderful views over Titicaca Lake. Unfortunately by the time that we arrived my husband was suffering from altitude sickness so we didn't get the best out of it that we could have and never made it to breakfast. The room was beautiful with a western facing aspect to watch the sunset with a large double bed and chaise lounge, with free snacks and drinks in the mini bar.|As my husband was poorly for a whole day he gave me permission to go without him on the pre-booked boat trip of Lake Titicaca, which was amazing - would thoroughly recommend it.|The food in the restaurant was lovely and the staff were also really good.|We missed breakfast again on our last day due to our early start so we asked for a packed breakfast to take with us, and there was enough food in it for breakfast and lunch. The Peruvians really like to feed their guests.|The only downside is that it is quite a long way from Puno to drive to.

Excellent hotel. Top notch service . Unfortunately I was sick during my stay so I couldn't enjoy my stay . My last breakfast was excellent 👌

This is a great choice when visiting Lake Titicaca. It is outside of the hustle and bustle of Puno (about a 40 minute drive from the Puno train station), and is an all-inclusive destination with exclusive activities that provide an up-close, personal experience. The lodge is situated right on the lake, in the small town of Titilaka, so is removed from everything – in all the best ways! It is beautifully designed and welcoming, from the minute you step inside. The variety of activities available allow you to do as much or as little as you please. On the visit to the reed islands at Uros, they take you to a private island, so you don’t have to interact with the other tour groups, giving you a very intimate and immersive look at life on the islands. After visiting the reed islands, you visit Taquile island, which was fascinating, and enjoy a private lunch on a beautiful overlook. We also participated in the astronomy presentation and stargazing, which was very interesting and informative. The menu and food at the lodge is amazing. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed every minute.

This is a beautiful hotel with exceptional service. The rooms have a stunning view of the Lake. The hotel offers a number of excursions with knowledgeable guides, and the itineraries can be customized. The staff — ranging from the hotel services to the restaurant — were so enthusiastic and helpful.

I had the incredible opportunity to stay at this property during my recent 10-day adventure across Peru. It's safe to say that this place is a true gem, one of the most breathtaking locations I've had the pleasure to visit. The staff here are absolutely outstanding. I have to give a big shout-out to Albert and Willy, who were fantastic guides. Their deep understanding of local culture and traditions really enriched our island tour and visit to the nearby portal and ruins. The hotel's restaurant is beautifully designed, and the view from the dining area is simply spectacular. The food was top-notch, and spending time there, especially with the cozy aperitifs by the fire, was definitely a highlight of our trip. The attention to detail in our suite was seriously impressive. From the small heaters that the night staff brought in, to the range of snacks and drinks in the room bar, everything was designed for our comfort. It made us feel really taken care of. We also had a lot of fun with the activities on offer. The cycling tour with Willy was a blast, and he even helped me get some amazing shots in the local village. In summary, my stay at Titilaka Hotel was an unforgettable part of my Peruvian adventure. I'm grateful for the exceptional service and memorable experiences provided by the dedicated team. I'm looking forward to my next visit and creating even more treasured memories.

We stayed 2 nights in the resort in Sep, 2023. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommended the resort to people who want to visit Lake Titicaca. # Location The resort is NOT in Puno but further south. It is about 1 hour from Puno and 2 hours from Juliaca airport. The resort does provide complimentary train station / airport pickup & drop-off, but it does add some overhead when getting in & out of the resort. Being in a remote location also has benefits: (1) The resort is on the beach, and there is a lagoon nearby. The lake view is fantastic and environment is very serene. We enjoyed every minute in the resort. (2) The resort is about 45 mins boat ride from Taquile island. We took the day trip, and it took 90 mins from the resort to the floating island, 90 mins from the floating island to Taquile, and 45 mins from Taquile back to the resort. So in total 225 mins boat ride can take you to both floating island and Taquile. I guess it is a similar amount of effort if you want to visit both the floating island and Taquile from Puno. # Room & Facility The room is spacious and well equipped. Our room has the superb lake view, and I was able to watch the sunrise from the bed. It is also very quiet at night and we had good sleep during our stays. The resort also has many common areas with comfortable sofas, couches, and great views. We spent some time enjoying coffee, tea, and snacks in the common areas. # Service The service is top notch. The great experience started from the train station pick-up, where the resort not only provided a driver, but also an English-speaking guide. They also accommodated us to visit a local pharmacy to buy some supplies. The van is also well equipped with hot towels and bottle water. The excursions were also great. We took a 8-hour boat tour to visit the floating island and Taquile. The resort has their own boats, captions, and guides, and all excursions seem to be in small groups (~5 guests with 1 caption and 1 guide). In the floating island and Taquile island, we had similar demonstrations from the local people (as other larger groups), but the experiences feel more VIP due to the smaller group. We had lunch in a local restaurant on Taquile. The view was fantastic, overseeing both sides of the island. Being vegetarians, we were initially concerned about the food, but it seemed that the resort prepared and transported the food to the restaurant, and thus the food quality is very similar to the resort. # Food We are vegetarians. The restaurant is a la carte style and they changed a part of the menu every day. They have plenty of vegetarian options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is quite delicious and delicate, very comparable to the best restaurants in larger cities such as Cusco.
