We spent the first day in Lima, and visited a church with massive catacombs underneath it. The bones of tens of thousands are burried here, although burried might not be the right word. The bones are collected in various boxes and pits, usually sorted by bone type, and make for a macabre tour. Walked around the Plaza de Armas, saw some government buildings, and when we learned that there was a museum of the Spanish Inquisition nearby, Gabe and I decided that was the place we should go. As you...
Lima, Peru crashdot
The end of this journey is drawing closer every day. Today would be my last day in Peru. Flying out of Cusco into Lima, I have a day to explore downtown Lima before my plane takes off for JFK. There's a part of me that can't believe all 5 weeks have past. Yet in another part, it feels like it had. Having done almost everything I'd set out to, the only thing missing from that list is paragliding and whitewater rafting. But it's ok missing them. This journey has taught me so much more than I've...
Lima, Peru i8toomuch
Even though it has only been a few days since I have posted, so much has happened that I don`t know where to begin. Basically, we left Rio on an 8am bus to Sao Paulo, got in about 2pm and got on the Airport Bus Service in order to catch a free shuttle to our hotel. First, the airport bus was late leaving due to a very dead battery... that was our first bus break down on this trip! And it was right at the bus terminal! Thank god we didn`t have a flight to catch! Since we had an early morning f...
Cusco, Peru incrediblelife
So here we are again, living the backpacker life. When we arrived in Lima, Peru it was 1am and we were very happy to have a room booked for 2 nights at the JW Marriott. We ate every meal there for free in the executive lounge (due to Chris“platinum statues, thanks to Deloitte) and got a 9 pm(!) check out time. The next two nights we down graded to a $40 a night hostel, but then treated ourselves to a nice steak dinner at La Vaca Loca. (this is our transition into backpackers phase!) After din...
Lima, Peru kytravels
Haven“t done this in a while as you can imagine i“ve been lead a stray by the two lads. Well Peru was brilliant just trying to remember exactly what we got up to. Started off in Triujio after a gruelling 16 hour bus ride and the place was absolutely roasting. Fortunately there was a beach nearby and the town itself had loads of casinos with air con unlike our hostel. Won a load on poker but then went and promptly lost it on the blackjack tables. You win some you lose some. You would have thou...
Lima, Peru paddy1979
Our first stop is Lima Peru. We flew from LAX to Miami and caught a red eye to Lima arriving on Thursday at 5am...Got to our hotel and went looking for desayuno...Rita took out way too much money from the ATM (1 Soles = 3 USD...but i think i had it backwards) and left her card in the machine...luckily, it was still there when she went back for it on Saturday. that would have sucked bad. Nice view from our room....love those points... First day we went out and walked alot...RJ got chased a...
Lima, Peru rnrblog
Wednesday, DAY 2 We woke up excited to really be here. A trip I've been wanting to take since the 70's. We jumped into the shower that was all marble and shower big enough for 5 people complete with a shower head the size of a dinner plate. Ahhhhhhh. Our breakfast buffet was filled with fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, cereals as well as scrambled eggs, potatoes and a basket of cocoa leaves for cocoa tea. Included in the price of the room. We ate out in the courtyard next to a fountain and many b...
PUNO, Peru scatteredfrost
This week has been full of new experiences but yesterday was awesome and overwhelming at the same time. I'm sitting here looking out at the pacific ocean drinking peruvian coffee. Yesterday morning I was looking out over the ocean from a shanty town. Uncle Oliver drove us to a church that has a children's ministry. We picked up the local pastor and he rode with us to the church. The needs for an orphanage are great but the process is long. I asked Aunt Gloria if there is a point that you "get...

Great Hotel
Love the JW Marriott
The hotel is across the street from a shopping center and lots of restaurants. Take a cab to the Indian Market if you want to shop cheap and don't forget your USD's. Lots of small bills. There is an ATM close by in case you need it....
Home away from home in a complicated city
Although your typical business-oriented hotel, it was a welcome respite coming/going to other parts of the country. Really felt like home.
Loved the rooms - especially the massive bathrooms. They also have a very extensive gym in their premises. One of the best ones I've seen in any hotel.
The restaurants look good but lacked any ambiance nor life. You'll do better by trying out restaurants across Lima (the city is famous for its food) or just cross the street and check out the places in the mall overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Denied a room with a confirmed reservation
My colleague and I represent a program, and are members of the large organization, that has traveled to Lima each year for the past 6 years, and our hotel of choice has been the JW Marriott Hotel Lima.
When my colleague and I arrived at the JW Marriott on Nov 15, we were promptly told that no rooms were available. Oddly, another guest was checking in at the same time and was given a room; this guest was even asked about her preference for smoking or non-smoking room!
We explained to the front desk staff that we had confirmed reservations for this hotel; reservations that were made on June 16, 2005 and that were twice confirmed via email. The Front Desk Manager on duty stated that he was aware of our reservation, but the hotel was oversold and he referred us to a property approximately 10 minutes away from the Marriott, assuring us that it was a 5-star hotel.
Already exhausted from our 5 hour journey from Mexico City and angered by our treatment at the Marriott, we arrived at Las Americas Hotel to find that, while it may enjoy a 5-star rating, it is not on par with the quality the JW facility. We promptly returned to the JW Marriott and were surprised to find yet another guest checking into the hotel. We confronted the Front Desk Manager regarding his prior claim that no rooms were available in the hotel. While having this discussion, 2 more guests entered the hotel and were given rooms. At this point, we were infuriated, not only by the fact that we had not been checked into the hotel, but that we were obviously being blatantly lied to! The Front Desk Manager finally admitted that there were now 3 rooms available and 9 reservations. We asked why others were being checked in while we, Marriott Reward members with reservations made 6 months prior, were not. The FDM responded by saying that these decisions were made by the sales staff. We asked to speak with the manager on duty; the FDM indicated that he was indeed the only manager available.
We presented copies of our hotel confirmations, our respective Marriott Rewards cards (we are silver members). . . we pointed out again and again that these reservations were made in June and confirmed twice by Marriott . . . we explained that our organizations have used this hotel for the past 6 years and, as a result of this action, the JW Marriott would lose the business of more than 50 annual hotel guests . . .. This all fell upon deaf ears; the FDM seemed completely unmoved by any of this. He ultimately phoned the Miraflores Park hotel and made a reservation for each of us. We insisted that the Marriott pay for both nights of our stay at the Miraflores Park hotel; the FDM reluctantly agreed. When we arrived here at the Park, however, they indicated having been informed of the Marriott's agreement to pay for only one night at this hotel.
I am still furious - outraged - baffled as to how any of this could have taken place. I'm upset with the young, Front Desk Manager who handled this so unprofessionally. I'm disturbed that senior management would make the irresponsible decision to leave someone who was clearly incapable of handling this situation properly, in charge of the entire property. I am disappointed to learn that the Marriott has so little regard for its' loyal Rewards members as to not honor long standing reservations.
I spent much of the night, following this incident, trying to come up with a plausible explanation as to why this may have occurred, but the reasons that came to mind only served to further infuriate me . . . was it because we had a lower, government rate? Was it because we're US citizens? Was it because I'm African American? . . . I would hate to learn that the Marriott would engage in this type of discrimination . . . .
Relaxing place to stay
Forget Sleeping
Excellent!
The location is breathtaking, overall Peru was a wonderful country with very pleasent people. We toured all of Peru from the Andes, to the Amazon, Coast it was absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend this hotel and country..
Like Being in San Diego
We'd heard Mira Flores derisively called a kind of the yuppie enclave. But, it wasn't even that nice. Order was kept by having lots of soldiers. Lots of signs telling people to muzzle their dogs. The glitz of the waterfront faded quickly, after just a block or two inland.
Perfect after a long hard tour.
A needed oasis in Lima
This is a nice hotel. Darn nice. Let's start with the food. The breakfast/brunch is world-class. Plentiful, hot, fresh, good. The dining area is open, bright, and has a view of the surf.
The rooms are nice, not excellent, but nice. I would say that the rooms themselves are borderline "JW" standard, closer to regular Marriott standard.
Now to the best part. The massage. They have highly-trained, professional (no funny stuff) massgae therapists. For US$40 per hour, you'll get a sports massage you won't soon forget. Very nice.
Okay, the pisco sours...Peru claims the pisco sour as their national drink, as does Chile. Personally, I have found the pisco sour at this hotel's bar VERY tough to beat. Be forewarned - mix two pisco sours with some jet lag and mild dehydration and the rest of the night becomes a bit psychedlic.
Okay, overall this is the place to stay in Lima. Whether you actually want to go to Lima in the first place is up to you....
