In December, we spent 3 days and 2 nights in Puerto Iguazu. Even though our main focus was visiting the famous Cataratas (waterfalls) - which was simply spectacular, our stay at this hotel was also enjoyable and relaxing. We found the staff very helpful and accommodating. In summary, the room was clean and comfortable, the pool area relaxing, and the service excellent.

One evening we did discover there was no hot water in the shower. However, the front desk sent up a repairman and though it took him 2 trips and about 20 minutes to resolve, he stayed on task and fixed the problem. A minor inconvenience, but it was handled promptly and with professionalism.

The location of this hotel was also very ideal. Initially I was concerned that since it appeared from the map to be located across the street from the bus station, we would be annoyed by the noise and fumes. Not so. The bus station was in easy walking distance, but no so close to cause any problems for us. Actually, the hotel is in a great location for walking around town. We gladly recommend this hotel.

We had visited Iguassu Falls before, staying at the Brazilian side of the falls, in the city of Foz do Iguacu. This time, I decided to stay in the Argentinean side of the falls, in the little town of Puerto Iguazu, and didn’t regret it at all. The city is much smaller than the one on the Brazilian side, but I don’t know why, we all enjoyed its atmosphere a lot. We could walk basically everywhere from our hotel Saint George, in the city center!
Staying at Saint George Hotel, for sure made the whole difference. It is not a 5 star hotel, but it is very comfortable and its location couldn’t be better: in front of the bus terminal and close to all good restaurants in town (I mean 3/5 minutes walking to reach the good restaurants), including the Acqva, which is for sure the best of restaurant in Puerto Iguazu.
The hotel is great: nice rooms, nice lobby, nice staff, nice pool, nice breakfast buffet. I had tried to book rooms at the Panoramic hotel which was sold out. I am so glad I stayed at the Saint George, though. I would be kind of isolated at the Panoramic Hotel. The Saint George is located right where everything is!! Great choice!!
Well, we flew to Foz do Iguacu (Brazil) and rented a car to come to Puerto Iguazu (less than 10 km). While we were still in Brazil, I started seeing signs for places selling the “Carta Verde” – green card, and tried to find out what is was about. The only I could find out was that it was a kind of insurance, but no one knew the details to explain to me. Crossing the Argentinean border, I asked the official what was the “Carta Verde” and he told me we didn’t need it since we only would stay in Puerto Iguazu. I had read some reviews on Tripadvisor where people were sharing the experience about having the cars pulled over and facing lots of problems for not having it, and the policemen demanding the Carta Verde. , So, once again, my husband and I decided to go the insurance company to buy one no matter what. Finally they explained to us that we could not get one, because we had a rented car. It is only sold to private cars and it is an insurance that foreign registered cars are obligated to have in Argentina.
In Puerto Iguazu, nobody asked us for it. But, the confusion started the day we decided to drive to the Wanda Mines, 38 km away from Puerto Iguazu. They had a police barrier on the road that stopped us and after checking the car documents and my husband`s drivers license, explaining that they would give us a fine for driving without the head lights on and people on the back of the car had no seat belts fastened. I explained we didn’t know that we had to keep the lights on during the day time and night time, and he said this is MANDATORY in all Argentineans roads, day or night. Well, he ended up releasing us only to be stopped again 15 minutes later, by another police. This time the lights were on and everybody buckled in, so he decided checking all the documents again and there the question came: where is the carta verde?? I need to see it!! Since I understood how it worked by then, I calmly explained to him that we didn’t need one (which for sure he knew it better than I did!!) and all the reasons why I didn’t need it, and added that I had already spoke to the official in the previous check point, and that he explained to me I didn’t need one (sorry about the lie, but I was not willing to pay anybody off!!). He had no option than let us go Again, they stopped us in the return, and I guess, realized they had checked us 20minutes ago and let us go…and all of this aggravation to go to Wanda Mines, which I really saw nothing interesting!!!
Well, at last many people have wondered which side of Iguassu Falls is better, the Brazilian or the Argentinean side? My answer is you have to go to both. On the Brazilian side you can feel the impact of the magnitude and size of the falls, the panoramic view is all expansive, on the Argentinean you can see the power of the falls directly above the Devil`s Throat. One is a complement of the other. Don’t miss visiting both parks. I loved them!!

If you're looking for a mid-range hotel, quiet comfortable rooms with a charming helpful staff then stay here when you visit Puerto Iguazu. It's smaller and not 5 star but that's part of it's charm. I enjoyed the peaceful pool area and the fact that I could walk across the street to pick up the bus to the falls. I wish all my hotels left me feeling the way this one did.

This hotel is an awesome location... Just a block from some of the best restaurants in town (we loved Aqva and Color) and the bus to the park is just across the street. But our room was a bit shabby and it's annoying that we couldn't control the air conditioner... It was either on full blast and freezing cold or we had to unplug it. The prices were a bit inflated since we stayed there over new years eve, and I guess that bothered me since the room we stayed in was not worth what we paid. And there was a loud party going on nearby that kept us awake very late when we had an early flight to catch. But I guess that is a risk anywhere traveling on new years day.
Also wanted to say the staff was friendly and helpful and the pool was very nice... Especially after a long day at the park!
