The understanding of great service is very different in most Brazilian restaurants compared to international standard, however not here: every detail is absolutely exceptional: the restaurant, housekeeping, and front desk staff. The hotel has an incredible location, allowing to still stay in the park after 5:00 pm, when all other tourists have to leave. The afternoon sun however offers the... More

Hotel Cataratas really is amazing; like a pink palace perched right next to the Iguassu Falls. Hotel itself is beautiful; nice rooms, good service and a wonderful pool area. But the main benefit is having the hotel within the National Park. This allows you to go exploring when all of the other tourists have gone home. It's expensive. But if... More

If your budget allows, Hotel das Cataratas is the only place to stay. When you read it is the only hotel inside the park, it means all the other places are at least 13km away from the falls... Like everybody says, being at this Hotel means you have unlimited access to the falls, before the park opens and after its... More

My companion and I spent a very enjoyable night (25th Jan) at what must be one of the worlds most fabulous locations, a pink palace plonked in the middle of the jungle and bang opposite the amazing Iguacu Falls. Our room had an uninterrupted view of the falls once the toursit buses moved off at the end of the day.... More

I was very excited to come back to this hotel. I stayed in this property several times when it belonged to Tropical Hotel (VARIG Airlines). The Orient Express Midas touch made a huge difference. The retrofit of this hotel made it even more comfortable. Very nice decoration and spacious rooms. The new swimming pool area has a kind of Copacabana... More

After four days in the jungle in the pantanal, I returned to civilization to Iguacu Falls. I was not inclined to pay the $1000 a night rack rate advertised on the web so I called from the airport to bargain. After a couple converations, I negotiated them down to $375USD approx. It was the best service I have ever had... More

Very nice rooms, super beds, we had a junior suite in the forest wing which was very nice and had a little balcony. The food is good and the only thing to criticize is the limited chair capacity in the pool area. They have a big garden just next to the pool and should put up some more chairs there. More

Now that refurbishing is over, the hotel looks great. Beautiful building! we were always happy comparing it to the rather ugly hotel building on the Argentinean side of the park. Be sure to ask for an absolutely quiet room: there is some loud machine outside, so that maybe you can' t sleep with your window open. Service, restaurant, everything great.... More

This is definitely the only place to stay when visiting the Iguacu Falls. It may be expensive but staying here means there is no need to book a tour if you want to see the Brazilian side of the falls – you just walk out the front door! Also the fact that you can see them when most of the... More
