Sanctuary Lodge, A Belmond Hotel, Machu Picchu

Sanctuary Lodge, A Belmond Hotel, Machu Picchu

10/10 Excellent
"The Sanctuary Lodge is a gem in the entrance of Machu Picchu. Every staff member we met was exceptionally warm, treating us like their family. We were especially impressed by Juan Manuel, Wilmar, Alexander, and Zaraí. Additionally, incredible demonstrations of Peruvian culture by Karen and Gabriel. We really felt taken care of here. Not only was the attention by staff excellent, but the space is beautiful with an incredible garden, lovely rooms, and the food was unbelievable (notable mention to Chef Daniel). We cannot recommend this hotel and its people more!"
