 Restaurant & Lobby View from Main Gate by Bwana_Brown The 118-room, 4-star Esturion Hotel was selected for us by our internet tour organizer, Ripio Turismo, so we were picked up from the airport by our local tour operator, Cuenca del Plata, and promptly delivered to our accommodations. The hotel is located almost at the end of the streets in Puerto Iguazu, on the point of land where the Iguazu and Parana Rivers meet.
We liked the looks of the place as soon as we drove in through their big gate in the fenced-off hotel grounds. Nicely manicured grounds, clay tennis courts off to the side and a beautiful swimming pool at a lower elevation with colourful bougainvillea vines climbing the walls. It was looking good already! Since we were pre-paid as part of the package, we never actually paid a room rate, but an internet site (details below) quotes their single and double rooms at about US$70.

I found this hotel on the web. Sounded good and cost 125P/$42USD for a nice double with private bath, AC, cable TV, breakfast and a view of the river. They held my reservation, without a deposit (although they did initially ask for one). The Esturion is located on the edge of town, but you can walk to el centro. No traffic. Nice, clean and quiet rooms. Pool, tennis, large landscaped grounds, a decent restaurant (see Restaurant tip), bar and good service. It's a large hotel with a few tourist gift shops, a taxi stand across the street, imposing grounds and a pretty constant flow of tour buses going to the falls, Brazil, the airport, etc. As we drove through the iron gate, glimpsing the pool and the sprawling hotel, I thought that this place might be too good for us.
This was a pretty upscale place for us. But, fearing hot and humid weather, I wanted to be sure I had a comfortable room with good AC. The room was very nice and had a small balconey. The surrounding grounds were beautiful with lots of trees, flowers and birds. Don't know how "unique" this hotel is, but it was a lot nicer than the $10-$15 dollar places downtown and a whole lot cheaper than those $100 (and much more) luxury hotels that were scattered around town and in the park.
