Belmond Sanctuary Lodge

Muy muy excelente! We lived our stay in Sanctuary Lodge Machu Picchu. Everything from the service to the views and hummingbirds were great. A special thank you to Russel, Alex, Alexander, Brehan, Antony, and Jeus for their service, professionalism, and just being so friendly during our entire stay. We would love to come back again and will highly recommend to any and all of our friends and family!

We had an incredible honeymoon stay here. Unbelievable food, kind staff, and an amazing experience doing the ‘sunrise breakfast’ experience. We were even given an upgrade AND champagne for our celebration. A massive vote of thanks must go to all of the staff who served us. Russel is one of the kindest, most competent staff members I’ve ever come across. Andrea and Jaciel are both incredibly slick, and ably supported by other staff like Alexander and Brayan. Yes, it’s expensive, but they really deliver. A definite must if you want to treat yourself and stay just steps from Machu Picchu!

We had a delicious lunch and Russell and Elias looked after us very well. Watching the humming birds while we enjoyed our meal was very special too.

We had a lovely two night stay here in a room with a patio, full board. Each night cost a tad over USD2000. Worth it? Overall, a big yes - with some very small qualifications. Big pluses: the service is excellent (ignore other reviewers who say or even suggest otherwise) at every level. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet. Food at the restaurant is very good (breakfast perhaps could offer more variety and better fruit?) with all fish dishes a highlight. If you're booked to see MP at e.g. 08.00, you're on the doorstep - great. If you think you're going to see MP from the property - you're wrong but they absolutely don't claim that you can - but hey, you're 20 metres from the entrance and the views of the wonderful surrounding geography are to die for, the gardens are gorgeous too. Are the rooms large? No, roughly 15m squared, small bathroom and shower. Are they comfortable and well-fitted? You bet they are, with a very comfortable bed and excellent amenities. (Ours was a patio room, there are other rooms that overlook the MP entrance and bus park that might nor be so quiet??) The hotel seems still to be under threat of closure after the lease ran out in May this year, so watch this space - but hopefully it will go on and if it does and we go back to MP, this is absolutely where we'll stay.

Great service and great food !! Looking forward to coming back with family and friends. Russel was really nice waiter was great meeting him
