Fodor's Expert Review Hostal Phaxsi
Yumani Port, Isla del Sol, La Paz, Bolivia
If you don't relish the idea of hauling your luggage up to the village, consider this option in Yumani Port, where several large rooms—housed behind adobe walls and small verandas facing the lake—have pastel color schemes, plush beds, spacious en-suite baths, and air-conditioning. This hotel definitely sets the bar higher than most of the surrounding, soulless concrete blocks.
PROS
- unobstructed lake views
- good value
- a bit more character than other properties in town
CONS
- boat and tourist traffic gets noisy in the mid-afternoon
- solar-powered showers, so warmer as day goes on
