Sonesta Posadas del Inca - Valle Sagrado Yucay Urubamba

We are a queer couple and we were nervous about finding a safe and welcoming place to stay in Peru. The Sonesta Posada proved to be welcoming and exceeded every expectation. We felt comfortable and supported the entire three weeks we were there. The staff were the highlight. They talked with us every day, helped us book taxis at reasonable rates for longer trips, and even surprised my wife (who was studying for her medical boards) with cake and note of encouragement. When we left, they gave us two t-shirts and a painting of the hotel - such a thoughtful gesture. Our room was spacious, had a mini balcony with beautiful mountain views (even though we hadn’t booked a balcony), and the shower had strong, hot water. The Wi-Fi was excellent, which made studying and working easy. Housekeeping was great, room service was quick with good options, and the breakfast buffet had a ton of variety. The grounds were peaceful and well-kept. We studied every morning at the big wooden garden table, surrounded by flowers, with staff often bringing us hot water for tea and asking how studies were going. The hotel is in Yucay which is very close to Urubamba. We are super comfortable using the combis and we could just grab one off the main street in front of the hotel, but we also saw other guests using taxis and vans that the hotel organized for them. Yucay is a great central spot for reaching Ollanta, Calca, Pisac, and Cusco. This was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. We visit Peru every 2 years and are excited to have found a safe, comfortable home base for future years.

I was pleasantly surprised by this impromptu last-minute stay in the valley during a bout of altitude sickness. The staff was helpful and accommodating, placing me in a room adjacent to the restaurant for easy access to meals. I was spoiled for choice with various in-house eateries, and all the food I tried was exceptional. The beautifully kept lush green grounds were an oasis, and the value for money was excellent. The facilities were more on par with a four-star establishment. I would happily stay there again.

Everything about this property is awesome, from the people to the location to the food. They were very accommodating and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. It’s location amongst the activities and sites within the sacred valley is one of the best because it’s more central.

Staff service, building was beautiful a little alpine like, beautiful gardens, food choices at breakfast and dinner, cosy bar area. Great shower in bathroom.
