Had an incredibly memorable stay here with Henry & Mariluz. They will welcome you in their home with arms wide open and treat you like family. They are some of the nicest & kindest people I've ever met. It was so incredible learning about life on the island from them and eating amazing homemade meals by Mariluz. They took the time to pick us up at the port, walk us back and help us get on the boat, talk with us for hours at dinner and they even pulled out their telescope for us, so that we could see the full moon as well as some handmade traditional clothing that we could try on. Aside from their incredible hospitality, the rooms are nicely decorated & clean, and the property is in a great location, quite close to the ceremonial centers which we went to twice. Amantani is a really special place that was soooo fun to explore. We walked the entire island and absolutely loved how peaceful it was. It's an experience I highly recommend, and hold dear to me. Choose this place with these people and you won't regret it. The gratitude they express for staying with them is so touching and you will fall in love with the island & with them.

No payment card facilities on the island.

Comfortable lodgings, really lovely family cooked for us through our stay and helped us when we couldn't get access to a cashpoint. Bedroom was comfortable and peaceful. Great views over lake Titicaca. Would highly recommend if your looking for an authentic experience.

Henry and Mariluz are amazing hosts. Their house is very confortable with a nice view of the lake. The food is delicious and is cooked by the family using vegetables harvested from their own garden. On June is the best time of the year to see the stars and the Milky Way. The view is marvellous!! If you arrive by your own, ask for the guest house of Henry at the Inkatiana comunity because google maps does not work in the island. Also is good to know that the ferries to the island depart once a day at 7:30am from Puno's main port.

Really nothing, you should stay here!

I can't recommend this stay more highly! Just a wonderful family and stay. We had some issues with our transport and Henri & Mariluz were quick to send one of their sons to pick us up. We so enjoyed chatting with everyone in the family and eating Mariluz's delicious cooking. The property itself is just beautiful. And despite the cold temps at night, they kept us cozy with lots of warm blankets and hot water bottles for our feet.

Heating would have been nice, but that is something which is not available on the island at the current time.

Henry & Marylise we’re excellent hosts and we communicated via google translate. Food was good and the room had a lovely view. You need to be reasonably fit just to get to the lodgings. We appreciated having our private bathroom. We were not cold. The double room with lunch, dinner, breakfast and hot water was 229 soles. Henry showed us the start of a short cut up the mountain so we were completely alone when we went to the two sites. Unlike Taquile, the people here are friendly and smiling. It was an interesting glimpse at a disappearing way of life as the young people on the islands move to the city.

Mariluz and Henry are simply amazing! They welcome you as part of their family, they take you around the island and the temples, they cook for you and they answer all your questions around Amantani and Lake Titicaca. Never had we experience such a warming and caring atmosphere!!!

Best 5 days in Peru!!! (and maybe in our lifes). This accommodation is a hidden gem. If you could spend your holiday only in one place, choose this one! I can't describe in words how great it was. Amantani is the most beautiful island where you find peace, magic, ease, traditions, beautiful views, many sheep, simple farm life full of kindness and nice people, the most wonderful view of the stars and 2 stunning mountains hidden in the middle of island. We found here more spiritual experiences and energy than on Machu Picchu. There are no cars or dogs on the island, only the calm wind smelling after muña. The accommodation is family type with incredibly nice couple Henry & Maryluz. Every day we spend really nice time together during the meal (organic, only from ingredients from the island) they prepared for us. It was the best meal which we had the opportunity to taste in Peru. Mary's cuisine is simple but better than some Michelin-starred restaurant. Henry and Maryluz is really kind people, they cared for us with love and friendship. We spent a great Easter tradition together and we had a great time all the time. Don't make the mistake like most travelers and set aside more time for Amantani. You will not regret it and you will agree with us that this is the best decision ever.

The communication in the beginning wasn't totally clear. We would be picked up at the harbor of Chifron. The boat and Henry were there, but we had to wait 3 hours for the captain to arrive so we could go. This was a bit long for us...

Henry and Mariluz are VERY friendly! They are so warm and amazing people. The room is very comfortable, nice warm blankets and you get a warm bottle at night to warm your feet in bed. The food is delicious, Mariluz makes sure you will be very full. The garden and view are beautiful! Amazing place to stay and to experience the local culture. Henry took a walk with us over the whole island. If you want a real local experience, go to the Amantani lodge!
