Bar was an ok selection, food came out pretty fast. Rooms were sanitized daily. Staff was very helpful and attentive to any needs. Can't give an opinion on Breakfast as I didn't have any during the stay.

Wyndham Costa del Sol Arequipa
It's fine. Would be the best option if you have kids, but probably better options if you are couple or on business.

Sonesta Hotel Arequipa
Lovely hotel, a little north of the City. Great staff, huge rooms. Really good coffee at breakfast. The view of the Volcano in the pics must be from a drone, the best view is next to the elevators on floors 12 or 14.
