The breakfast was absolutely amazing! So many choices, and so good! I ate enough that I didn’t need lunch :) staff was so nice and the property was immaculately maintained. Would definitely recommend.

Sonesta Hotel Arequipa
The rooms are extremely quiet and luxurious. The spa was not run well — no one was there. The breakfast was amazing, but the restaurant's service was on the slow side. The neighborhood is in the business district and boring.

They had a wonderful breakfast where you had the buffet, but also can special order eggs your way and various items like pancakes and waffles. All the staff were super sweet and helpful.
