Which airport hotel to choose?

In regards to Lima Airport hotels, it all depends on how much you want to spend/ how much convenience you want as to whether you stay at “the” airport hotel, the Ramada Costa del Sol or one of the intermediate airport hotels, maybe 25 minutes drive away.  Peruvian airports request that you are in the airport two hours before the flight departs, so if you have a 9am departure then  you need to be in the airport at 7am, and up earlier!!! (not great if you have had a late arriving international flight)

The Ramada Costa del Sol is around $170- $220 a night for a couple (so around$100 each) and ideal if your international flight arrives late, and your flight to Cusco the next morning leaves early.   15 minutes after passing the Peruvian immigration and customs you can be checked in, and with your feet up in your hotel room. The same thing applies in the morning – you can check in for your flight and then return to the hotel for your breakfast.

If you choose to stay in somewhere like Las Terrazas, located on the busy road La Marina, in Callao, its about 25 minutes drive from the airport. The room costs $60 and the transfer $20.  So for a couple, $80 in total, or $40 each.

So, where you stay for your airport overnight depends on your budget/ how much you prize your sleep!
