The main question you should ask is, "is it worth the high price?" The simple answer is no, but there aren't many options and the price is comparable to that area for a similar hotel/experience. So if I went back would I choose this hotel again? Yes, but I would still be fussing about the price. If we were staying... More

We spent one night at the Sumac during our visit to Machu Pichu in April. THis was a splurge for us and we were pleased with the investment. We loved our room which had a spa and fireplace and great views to the river. Noise from buses and the river was negligible in our experience. Staff were friendly and the... More

I recently had had the pleasure of staying at this hotel. I made reservations in February, for a May stay. I had some minor difficulties with the Machu Picchu website so I contacted the hotel, and they took care of everything from tickets to Machu Picchu/Huayna Picchu, to the bus tickets for transport to and from the site. The accommodations... More

On my one night in Aguas Calientes I decided to splurge at Sumaq. So glad I did! Impeccable service, a huge room overlooking the river with jacuzzi tub. Best of all, dinner was included in the rate and it was the best of my trip. Savor your stay at Sumaq, especially since the town itself is rundown and undesirable.

What a great hotel. It is right on the river and we had a room with a balcony overlooking the river. The room was superbe, clean and elegant. The food was excellent, the service impecible and the staff courteous. From the minute we were met at the train station and assisted to the hotel, to when we left, we were... More

We spent 3 nights at the Sumaq Machu Picchu. After a hard day of hiking the ruins and surrounding mountains, it was delightful to be dropped off by the shuttle bus at a clean, comfortable hotel. Since the hotel is on the way up to the ruins, the hotel has a special deal with the bus to stop at the... More

When we got off the bus to walk inside, they sat us on a couch, gave us lemonade and an orientation, and checked us in while we sat there. What a nice touch! Then we go to the room and open the curtains and realize we are only feet from the river cascading down outside our window. It's all very... More

We chose to stay at the Sumaq because we received a discount through an affiliate. The location was perfect because we were able to have the bus pick us up at the front door on its way up to Machu Picchu. The view from the room was superb over looking the river and mountains. The only catch was the roar... More

We arrived in Aguas Calientas mid-morning which was too early to check in. However, the Hotel staff was amazingly hospitable. We had our own staff person who brought refreshments, gave us an orientation, contacted our guide and made sure our rooms were cleaned ASAP. The Hotel is beautifully positioned aside the river...just open the window and enjoy the symphony! Rooms... More
