Comments over the libertador Summit Hotel:

By Frommers:
Ensconced in serenity and splendid isolation on the shore of a small island 5km (3 miles) from Puno, overlooking the expanse of Lake Titicaca, this hotel takes full advantage of its privileged location -- or inconvenient location, depending on your perspective. Part of the luxury Libertador chain (formerly the state-owned Hotel de Turistas), the hotel has rooms that are spacious if a little bland, and about half have panoramic views of the lake. Service is excellent and the large, white-block hotel has soaring ceilings, but it doesn't have as much character as the better-value Sonesta Posada del Inca , which has views that are almost as good. The hotel is linked to the mainland by a causeway, and the only way back and forth to Puno is by taxi.
