Fodor's Expert Review Río Alto Hotel

The sounds of the river lull you into relaxation at this hacienda-style hotel just outside Lunahuaná, and its family vibe has made it popular with visitors from Lima. Cozy public spaces have bamboo features, and there's a flower-filled courtyard. The restaurant's terrace is a great spot to enjoy pisco sours or river prawns while keeping an eye on the kids in the nearby pool. Rooms are small, but have broad windows, comfortable (though slightly worn) furnishings, private bathrooms, and TVs. For groups, there are two fully equipped bungalows that sleep four.
