Las Amazonas Vacations from $224

Very nice and friendly staff. Breakfast is good, fresh juice and coffee. Every room has A/C and clean.

My trip to the Amazon was one of the highlights of a three-week vacation to Latin America, and I owe it in large part to Amazon Nativo Lodge. Please note that you should contact them independently soon after. They will arrange your transportation from the airport to the lodge. They also have plenty of tour and activity options, which I highly recommend. Although I'm not one for guided tours, I'm thankful they have guides so familiar with the jungle because it would have been hard to find my way back, and I also would have missed some animals and unique plant life they pointed out, including ice cream beans and a troop of monkeys passing through the trees overhead. They really put out the welcome mat for me and ensured that I was comfortable. You will also get all three meals provided, though I recommend bringing snacks just in case as you'll be far from the city. I slept great while I was here. It's far enough removed from the river that you won't hear passing motorboats, rather you'll get soothing sounds from the jungle. And living in a large city, I also forgot how many stars there are in the sky without light pollution until I saw the clear night sky here. I loved my time at the lodge and can't recommend them enough.

We had a great stay at the El Dorado Classic Hotel in Iquitos. The hotel was clean, modern, and comfortable overall, and it was a very nice place to stay before and after our time in the Amazon. Our room was clean and comfortable, the beds were very nice, and the air conditioning worked well, which was especially appreciated in the Iquitos heat. The hotel itself felt well maintained and modern, and the pool was a great place to relax. We also enjoyed the free breakfast, which was good and convenient before heading out for the day. Overall, the hotel had everything we needed for a comfortable and easy stay in Iquitos. We also want to give special recognition to Diego, the bartender and waiter. He was always attentive, friendly, and welcoming, and he always had a big smile. Diego helped make our stay even more enjoyable with his great attitude and excellent service. Overall, we had a very positive experience at El Dorado Classic Hotel and would recommend it to travelers staying in Iquitos who want a clean, comfortable, and convenient hotel with friendly service.
