Guest reviews Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas, Iguaçu

by Rubens B Sao Paulo, SP

Great hotel!!

We have stayed for 3 nights on a suite with view to the iguazu falls (room 1115). It was amazing. Hotel is beautiful and room very nice and comfortable. Staff is very good, all of them speak English. Bar was great, restaurants were very nice and pool service and spa also exceeded our expectations. One of the best massages ever by Pamela. Very classy hotel, VIP treatment. Concierge did all the tour and activities reservations and it was amazing.

The One and Only Belmond Hotel das Cataratas

Before I start, let me just put it out upfront: There is NO other way to better enjoy Iguazu Falls (Brazilian side) than staying at Belmond Hotel das Cataratas. Located inside the National Park, Belmond Hotel is within 60 seconds of walking distance to the start of the trailhead. The world's natural wonder is practically in your front yard. What's more? It's the only hotel inside Brazil's Iguacu National Park, which means tourists not staying on the property must leave the park every day, and hotel guests can have unparalleled access to all of the sites exclusively between 5pm to 9am. 7:30pm sunset? No problem! 5:30am sunrise? It's all yours. No need to compete with other tourists around the world for the best picture spot, in fact, you could savor a refreshing cocktail at the terrace while watching the sun setting behind the cascading froth of Iguazu Falls. If you think premier location is all what Belmond has to offer, you couldn't be more wrong. The hotel is a beautiful historical site in itself. The pink and cream colonial Portuguese style exteriors are beyond breathtaking, and the interior of the rooms are equally awe-inspiring, if not more. Over the years of travelling to 140+ countries, I have had the pleasure of staying at quite a few luxurious properties. The Belmond was not the most expensive one, nor the most luxurious one, but I was completely sold by its outstanding service, immaculate attention to details, and impeccable friendliness. If you ever come to Brazil to visit Iguazu Falls, do yourself a favor and check in to Belmond Hotel das Cataratas. You will not regret, and you can thank me later:)

Awed by the Falls

The only hotel inside the Iguassu Falls National Park, beautiful and luxurious. It´s possible to walk down the trail after the Park is closed, so you can have the most exclusive waterfalls experience. The rooms are big and perfectly clean. Excellent breakfast and service. The pool is wonderful, with a nice view to the forest. I found the restaurants menu a little limited in options, though, and the food fairly overpriced.

Impeccable

Wow, your realy know when a hotel is totally focused on its guests and has the training policies in place to ensure a seamless and effortless (from a guests perspective) arrival - stay - departure. The hotel is a classic & colonial experience, the staff are courteous and Freindly they really go the extra mile to make your staff a magical experience. The hotel has been maintained to the highest standard. The rooms are well appointed and spotless. The pool area is fabulous. The only thing that let's the hotel down is the A la carte restaurant... The food is not great and the portions are less than they should be for the prices being charged and the quality simply does not make the hotel experience. The poolside menu is OK but again it's more of a 3 Star experience and dose fit in.

Mémorable stay

Hotel Cataratas is a fantastic place, you are alone inside the Park to make as many private visits to the falls as you want. Service, food, rooms & accommodations are great. You feel immediatly well and confortable, good ambiance, lovely team and fantastic restaurants. A place where to go and go again.
