Xima Exclusive Puno is a contemporary hotel in the Puno area that was previously operated under the Eco Inn name. It offers a more modern feel than the casona-style hotels in the center, with a design aimed at comfortable, efficient stays: clean lines, heated rooms, a restaurant and the services that tour travelers need. The positioning is upscale mid-range, and the property suits couples and groups who want a quiet, comfortable place to recover after a day of boats, buses and altitude. Because the property has changed its branding, check recent traveler information when you book, and compare the room types and current rates carefully.
Location
Eco Inn-style hotels in Puno have often been located near the lake or on the edge of the center, offering views and a calmer environment than the busy downtown streets. Confirm the exact position on the map and ask about distances to the plaza, the harbor and the pickup points for tours. If the hotel is outside the walking core, a taxi to dinner and back is inexpensive and simple to arrange at reception. Early morning boat pickups are common and usually organized from the hotel door.
Rooms and services
Modern hotels at this level usually offer private bathrooms, heating, a breakfast buffet and a restaurant with a mix of international and regional dishes. Ask about heating and hot water, since evening temperatures fall quickly, and about altitude support such as coca tea or oxygen. The staff are often accustomed to international guests and can help with tours and transport. As the hotel has been renamed, check which services have changed and whether the rate includes breakfast and transfers.
Who it suits
Couples, business travelers and groups who prefer contemporary design and a calmer setting. It is less atmospheric than a colonial casona, but it is comfortable and practical. Reserve ahead for the busy dry season from May to October and for the Candelaria festival in February. If you arrive by air at Juliaca, ask whether the hotel can arrange a transfer for the drive of around an hour to Puno, and confirm check-in times for early or late arrivals, since many flights land at awkward hours.
