Sheraton Iguazu: The Best Bet Here

There is so much to say about this hotel. First off let me open with it is 30 years old and is showing its age. Do not come here expecting 5 star luxury and a perfectly put together hotel. The real winner and why you want to come here is because of the view and how they treat SPG members.

From the moment you exit the taxi upon arrival there are people there offering you excellent service. Your bags will be taken by the bellhops and they will lead you to the check in counter. Here you’ll be welcomed by what seemed to average four members of the staff including a very visible manager as well as your first view of the falls.

As I am only SPG gold right now I booked the cheapest falls view room I could for our first paid night. Marcela who checked us in told us our room wasn’t quite ready yet but we could take our bags up and leave them there and in less than 20 minutes the housekeeping staff would be done. She seemed very happy to be giving us room 350. And we were very happy she did.

After sorting out our two reservations and getting us squared away our bellhop took us up to the 3rd floor, the top, and showed us our room just far enough from the elevators to be quiet but close enough to be close. The room itself was much more basic than I thought it would be but I do believe it to be one of the better rooms in the hotel.

As you walk into the room the door was on the left side of the end wall. This allows the bathroom to open up on your right and the room behind it to open to the right and out to the balcony. It appeared that every room in the hotel has a balcony and that some on the 2nd or 1st floor had LARGE balconies that extended out over the banquet hall. Complete with a large king bed and a chair or two the room was sparse but functional. Stone tile floors as are very typical in the warmer climates. But as we said before, oh the view!

This is the ultimate in location as the hotel is located inside the National Park. The trails run right out of the back of the hotel and you’re into the jungle near the falls immediately. Complete with signs about the illegality of feeding the monkeys.

The hotel restaurants and bars as well as the spa and other facilities are covered by specific tips.

I will be very hard pressed to stay anywhere else when I come back to the falls.

Sheraton Hotel: the only hotel within the park

If you’re not a backpacker and have some more money to spend you can stay at Sheraton hotel that is located inside the park! I guess it must be nice to stay here, it’s a luxury hotel anyway and gives you the opportunity to walk the park under moonlight! My hostel in Puerto Iguazu costed only 6 euros per night so there wasn’t any dilemma for me… :)

pool, gym, restaurants, tennis courts...

Cataratas Hotel Iguazu Falls: Spacy and relaxing

I had to close the door of the bathroom at night, for there was a party at the hotel disco, and the music was reaching my room via the ventilation system (it was ok when I closed it). Also, at the beginning I was happy to see an ATM in the lobby, but it turned out it was not working.

The breakfast was good and also the dinner buffet - many courses to choose from, I tried a piranha fish which, although nicely cooked, tasted like straw. But I think it had to do with the fish kind, ok, so I tried it, a new experience - I found compensation to all the other plates (many) that I could choose from.

After all the hotels in the middle of big cities I had recently stayed in, this was an oasis - plenty of space, a beautiful reception lobby, cosy bar, nice restaurants, fountains in front of the ground floor rooms, large pools, space!

My (single) room could easily accommodate 4 people - see pic. Big room, nicely furnished, did not give this cold taste of a hotel. The bathroom quite large.

It's in the forest, in the national park, a short distance of the falls. Beautiful hotel, I enjoyed my short stay there.

Nice live music by a piano and a Paraguayan harp was accompanying our dinner and later our drink in the lobby bar.

I bought t-shirts from the hotel boutique where a very patient lady helped me choose for me and my family - it was the first time I shopped souvenirs in a hotel (there's always a first time), ok, I know, it's more expensive, but I had no more time in Brazil and I had to buy something to remember! Everything was of good quality.

Hostelería la Cabaña: Iguazu's Best

This was the nicest hostel I stayed in travelling around Argentina. The service (the hostel´s owners) was excellent, the pool and its surroundings were charming, the breakfast was delicious, and the price was very resonable. The location is also very convinient, between the Iguazú center and Tres Fronteras.
It was 70 pesos for a double room.
