Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel, Iguassu Falls

The location within the park is fantastic. It is just a few steps from the hotel entrance to a waterfalls viewpoint and you can explore the Brazilian side of the falls outside of the public park hours (this is not something you can do properly on the Argentinian side if you stay at the Gran Melia). The hotel itself is beautiful and decorated to a very high standard (I don’t agree with some of the other reviews that have previously said the interiors are a bit tired). There are a lot of different areas inside and outside to relax in, and the pool and gym are both good. We enjoyed our meals in both restaurants and the breakfast options were exceptional. The service was flawless and the staff were all super friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here.

The food was incredible. The hotel and rooms were beautiful. The location was amazing. Most of the staff were incredible. The welcome to the hotel property and send off was wonderful. Some of the staff went above and beyond with service. It’s definitely a splurge. Take advantage of the property and explore the trail to the falls, and keep an eye out for toucans.

Liked · The best hotel in Brazil for seeing Iguazu Falls. Simply walk across the road to the falls. Excellent dinner buffet. Excellent breakfast buffet. The pool was nice, with a unique deep area in the middle. Access to the falls was simply walking out the front door. You do not have to buy tickets to the National Park to get to the hotel. The coati's wandering around looking for a hand-out.

This place is fantastic. The location is really the key selling point - it’s right in the National Park, and you have about two hours before and after everyone else leaves to explore at your own pace. I was able to have the entire falls viewing platform to myself one morning, which was an absolutely surreal experience given that when I went during normal hours the day prior, it was packed shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of people lined up and jostling each other for selfies. The hotel itself is perfect as well. It’s kept up extremely well, the room is spotless, bed is super comfortable. Nice pool area and facilities. The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly to boot.

What a fabulous hotel. The staff were so helpful, the food was fantastic (breakfast was exceptional) and the location was amazing. Having the park available to hotel guests outside of the busy tourist times meant you could view the falls with very few people around. We loved our stay and a big thank you from us to all the staff, with a special mention to the hospitality staff who couldn’t have done more to make our stay very special. Our transfer driver Edgar was also brilliant.
