Casa Morey Iquitos: Your Unforgettable Amazonian Escape Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because Casa Morey Iquitos… well, it's not just a hotel. It’s a vibe. Let me tell you, after spending a week sweating it out in the Iquitos jungle, I can confidently say: you NEED to go. And you NEED to read this review because, frankly, the glossy brochures don't tell you the real story. Forget that. Get ready for the raw, unfiltered truth, complete with my own brand of hot takes.
Accessibility: A Little Jungle Boogie, But Mostly Okay!
Okay, let's start with the practical stuff. I'm not going to lie, getting to Iquitos is an adventure in itself. Think plane, boat, maybe a small airplane (depending on how remote you’re going). So, "accessibility" in the traditional sense? Think carefully. While Casa Morey states it has facilities for disabled guests, you are still in the Amazon. Paths can be uneven, and the sheer scale of the wilderness can get a little challenging. But the hotel itself is pretty good. The elevator helps the stair-weary (thank God!), and once you're inside, things are relatively smooth. I’ll say this, if you have significant mobility issues, DEFINITELY call ahead and talk to them about your needs. Don't just wing it and expect a miracle.
Food, Glorious Food (and Drink!)
Alright, let's get to the good stuff: sustenance! Casa Morey knocks it out of the park with the food. Listen, after a day of exploring ancient trees, I was STARVING. Now, I have to admit, I love a good buffet. Casa Morey doesn't disappoint on that front, and the breakfast buffet is a great way to start your day. But the real star? The A la carte menu at the restaurant. I'm not going to lie, that Asian cuisine, the stir-fry, it was amazing. I went back three times. The international cuisine? Solid. And, I swear, the best coffee I had in Peru was in that coffee shop. And the poolside bar? Hello, Happy Hour! The ceviche was so fresh it practically swam onto the plate. They've got a snack bar too which is a lifesaver after a long excursion. Oh, and the bottle of water provided? Such a thoughtful touch. Shout out to the Vegetarian restaurant too, my travel buddy loved that! The western cuisine was also great, as was the overall service.
As for eating, well the dining setup is a serious win – safe dining setup all the way.
The Spa: Where I Found My Zen (and Almost Got Lost!)
Okay, so, the Spa. Let’s be frank, the whole trip can be a little overwhelming. The heat, the humidity, the sheer size of the freaking rainforest. And then there's Casa Morey’s spa. OH MY GOD. I. NEEDED. THIS. The massage? Incredible. Pure, unadulterated bliss. And that pool with a view? Chef's kiss. You could spend hours just staring at the jungle… it was so calming. They have a sauna, plus a steam room too, which after a long day of hiking? Pure magic. I did a body scrub, then wrapped myself up like a burrito. My skin felt like a baby's bottom.
I also went to the fitness center, because, you know, gotta work off all that delicious food! It's got the essentials, and hey, a little exercise doesn't hurt. A foot bath sounds amazing.
Now, here's a little anecdote. I actually got a little lost on the way to the spa. The hotel is quite large, and the corridors all look the same. I swear, I walked around for a solid fifteen minutes before I found it. But, hey, even getting lost in a luxurious hotel is better than… well, getting lost in the jungle!
Internet: The Eternal Struggle (But They Try!)
Let’s get real. You’re in the AMAZON. Internet access is… spotty. They offer free Wi-Fi in all rooms and internet in general, but I had to walk my way to find the spot with the best signal. It’s not the reason you go, but you might need to send an email home occasionally. They do have internet LAN and the internet services are adequate in general. I'm pretty sure they are trying, and it’s a thousand times better than some places I've been. Just… lower your expectations, and maybe embrace the digital detox. I mean, you are in a rainforest adventure, right?
The Rooms: Comfy, Cool, and Cozy
Okay, let's talk about the actual living quarters. My room? Surprisingly comfortable. I had an extra long bed, which was great because I am not tiny. Blackout curtains? Essential. Air conditioning? Thank GOD. The bathroom was clean, and the shower had good water pressure (a HUGE win in remote locations). I had a good view. The hair dryer worked, the robes were soft, the slippers were a nice touch. I like the compliment tea. It’s simple, it’s effective, and it's what you need after a day of exploring the jungle. They had a coffee maker and a mini bar, I always appreciate those. Oh, and for safety, there are smoke detectors and a safe in the room (always a smart move).
Things to Do: Jungle Adventures & Beyond
So. Much. To. Do. Casa Morey can arrange everything. Excursions up the Amazon, guided tours of the rainforest, visits to indigenous communities… you name it. And it's all incredible. You'll see monkeys, sloths, birds, giant lily pads, and more. My favorite? Definitely the boat trip up the river at sunset. Unforgettable. And when you’ve had enough of the great outdoors, there’s the indoor venue for special events and a shrine.
Cleanliness and Safety: A Relief in Uncertain Times!
Listen, in a place like Iquitos, you want to know the place you're staying is safe. Casa Morey takes safety and cleanliness seriously. They use anti-viral cleaning products, they do daily disinfection in common areas, and their staff is trained in safety protocol. Room sanitization opt-out is available for environment enthusiasts. The breakfast items were individually wrapped, and there were hand sanitizers everywhere. The staff followed physical distancing, and everything felt really clean. They even have a doctor/nurse on call. Definitely a relief.
More on Services and Conveniences
They’ve got everything: a concierge, laundry service, a gift shop, a currency exchange, and a car park (free of charge!). There’s even a business center if you really, truly need to catch up on work (although, again, I suggest embracing the digital detox!). They also have an elevator in the building and the hotel chain and front desk are open 24 hours.
For the Kids: Family Friendly Fun!
Kids meal, family/child friendly, and babysitting service. These guys are definitely prepared for the whole family.
To Sum It All Up… (And My Honest Opinion)
Look, Casa Morey isn’t perfect. No place is. But it IS a fantastic base for exploring the extraordinary Amazon. The food is incredible, the spa is heavenly, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff is genuinely helpful. It’s clean, it’s safe, and it offers a real escape from the everyday. It has so many interesting room decorations and details. It is in a great location. I had an amazing time and would go back in a heartbeat.

Casa Morey: Iquitos, Peru - The "Let's See What Happens" Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and Immediate Jungle Panic
8:00 AM (ish): Touchdown in Iquitos! Honestly, getting off that plane, the humidity hits you like a wet, warm hug. A hug that tries to suffocate you. The airport is… well, let's just say it's rustic. Prepare for a chaotic shuffle of luggage, enthusiastic touts, and a general feeling of "where am I?". My first thought was "Oh dear God, I forgot my malaria pills!" (Don't worry, I had them! Mostly.)
8:30 AM - 9:00 AM: Transfer to Casa Morey. The Tuk-Tuk ride from the airport? A sensory overload. Picture this: vibrant colors, the smell of exhaust fumes mixed with something vaguely floral, and the constant honk honk honk symphony of Iquitos traffic. I had to cling on for dear life! The driver, bless his heart, kept yelling "Welcome to the jungle, Señorita!" in a cheerful, slightly manic way.
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Check-in to Casa Morey. A beautiful, decaying colonial mansion. I mean, "decaying" in the best way possible. It felt like stepping back in time. The staff are lovely, a little slow-going, but warm and welcoming. My room? Well, let's just say the mosquito net is essential. It also had a slightly… musty smell. A very jungle-y musty smell. I'm still not sure what caused it.
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Wandering Around. Dropped my bags off and, out of sheer excitement, I just started exploring. The courtyard is gorgeous, and I swear a sloth crawled past me. (I'm still trying to confirm that.) Found a spot to take a nice photo of the building when a man with two huge dogs approached me and offered to watch my bags. His dogs were cute, but I was really worried about my phone. (I survived. I think).
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch at Casa Morey's restaurant. The food. Dear God, the food. Started with a "ceviche" and it was a lot of ingredients. I ended up eating all of it. A little salty, a little spicy. Overall, delicious. Then a fresh fruit juice - passion fruit, probably. The best fruit juice in my life, I swear!
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Some time to unpack. Found some more bugs, and it was time to put up my mosquito net. I wasn't as prepared as I thought.
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Explore the city. This is my favorite time of the day. I ended up going to the pier and buying some "local" souvenirs, and made a friend. I chatted with the man who sold me the souvenirs and ended up chatting for two hours.
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner at Casa Morey. Going back to the hotel and eat more food. I think if I never take the other plane back to my home country and live off fruit juice and fresh food, I would die happily.
7:00 PM - Onwards: Unwind. Relax. Mosquitoes. This is where it gets messy. I read a book (kept swatting mosquitoes), tried to use the internet (weak signal), and eventually just gave up and went to sleep. Dreaming of the Amazon's embrace, and hoping I wouldn't wake up covered in bites.
Day 2: Amazon River Adventure and That Time I Almost Died (Maybe)
8:00 AM: Woke up, itching. The jungle had claimed its first blood. This is not a joke.
9:00 AM: Breakfast. Enjoyed the local cuisine and got ready for what could be the best or worst adventure of my life.
9:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Boat trip on the Amazon! Oh, the Amazon. It’s vast, muddy, and alive. Our guide, a man named José, had eyes that saw everything. The boat was rickety, it smelled like diesel, and I loved it. We saw pink river dolphins leaping from the water, one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen. I even felt the tiniest pang of guilt for the tourists who were sitting on the cruiseships, judging their lives just a bit. The Amazon truly does not care. This is a humbling experience.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch somewhere along the river (fish, rice, and plantains). I ate it, even though the fish had that look. You know the one. The one that says, "Maybe you should question this choice." Still, I needed fuel for what came next.
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Piranha fishing! Yes. I held a small fishing rod, baited with…something unpleasant (not detailing this). And I caught a piranha! It was tiny, but it had those terrifying teeth. I felt equal parts terrified and exhilarated. Apparently, I was supposed to eat them (I didn't).
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Jungle hike. This is where things got…interesting. We went on a short hike through the jungle. Jose pointed out medicinal plants, giant trees, and the various insects that were trying to eat us. Then, he said, "Look, a snake!" And pointed. I looked. It blinked. It was a coral snake, I'm sure of it.
4:00 PM - Now: Back to the hotel. I could not process the happenings of the day, but I was happy to be back and in the safety of my room.
Day 3: More Jungle Shenanigans (and My Existential Crisis)
8:00 AM: This is when the existential crisis starts, or so I thought. I woke up itchy, the bugs. The jungle. Did I like it? Did I not? Should I go home? This is what I asked myself as I ordered my papaya juice.
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: I wasn't completely sure what to do, so I talked to the man from the day before who was selling souvenirs. He gave me some advice, and a hug. I felt better.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch. I ordered the dish with the fish, you only live once, right?
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: I decided to explore the city again, there were places I hadn't seen yet. I wanted something new.
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Back to my room. I had a lot to think about, I needed to pack. I wasn't sure if I was ready to leave yet.
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner at Casa Morey. I really enjoyed the food, I am going to miss it so.
7:00 PM - Onwards: Packing. I could not believe the trip was so fast, but I was tired.
Day 4: Departure (and a Promise to Return)
8:00 AM: Final breakfast. I savor every last bite. Try not to think about how much I’ll miss this.
10:00 AM: Final check-out. As I'm leaving, I realize I left something.
10:30 AM: Head back to the airport. The ride is familiar now. Not quite so terrifying.
11:00 AM: Arrive at the airport. Prepare for the next adventure.
12:00 PM: Take off. As I'm looking out of the window, I know it's not goodbye, it's see you later.
Important Notes:
- Bugs: Accept your fate. Bring repellent, DEET is your friend, but you will still get bitten. Embrace the itchy life.
- Food: Be open-minded. Try everything. You might discover your new favorite thing. Or you might spend the next day regretting it. Either way, it's an experience.
- Pace: Slow down. Don't try to cram too much in. Iquitos is about letting go and letting things happen.
- Embrace the Mess: Things won't always go according to plan. And that's okay. Maybe even great.
