Posh Titilaka

A recent blog by Marisol Mosquera of Aracari mentioned Titilaka on her trip through Bolivia-Peru-Chile:
...after lunch, we set off on our fast boat to Copacabana which we know and don’t like so gave it a total miss, and set off to Kasani, the border between Bolivia and Peru. It is a funny border where you need to carry your bags for approximately 100 metres as neither the Bolivian or Peruvian cars can trespass. We made the transfer swiftly and a couple of hours later, we were safely installed at the wonderful and ultra-luxurious Titilaka Hotel...
...if you have the luxury of time or money, Titilaka, where we stayed, is very posh. he hotel is located near the community of Acora, 1 hour from Puno. the views are magnificent from the bedrooms and the dining room. Titilaka is the poshest hotel we have stayed so far in our trip, including those in Atacama!! The restaurant, housekeeping and reception service are impeccable, the hotel interiors and decor are superb. I feel it is a bit too formal for the location, but it is my view and others could disagree. The hotel organises group activities around the hotel and further afield, all included in the price if you choose the full package. We had a lovely visit to the Uros Islands ( which are over commercialised but are a “must see”) with two other hotel guests. We had fun but I still feel a private guide of a higher cultural calibre and a private visit are better than current group visits offered widely in this region...
