“Monastery splendour with oxygen; transfer scandal”
JW Marriott El Convento Cusco is an atmospheric converted monastery in the city centre — shops and restaurants at the door, clean comfortable rooms with diffused oxygen (plus masks on request) that guests say erased altitude sickness, a rich breakfast buffet, and friendly staff. One stay went badly wrong though: after arranging airport luggage delivery, the driver arrived late, demanded more than agreed, and withheld bags until paid — an argument that nearly cost the flight and left deep bitterness.
