Reviews for Belmond Hotel das Cataratas
A must-stay in Iguassu/Iguazu Falls!
After the Disneyland-esque crowds on the Argentine side of Iguazu Falls, coming to the Belmond was a soothing antidote. Its elegant pink building in a Portuguese-Colonial style is a delight, the reception drink upon arrival, with a little coconut confection bite, ushered in the hospitality of the hotel. Best feature: easy (and early!) access to the adjacent cliffside trail to view the falls - fantastic views, completely shaded and blessedly uncrowded in the morning. We walked the trail several mornings before the park even opens to the public at 9 am. Another delightful feature: a pink VW van covered by an awning in the front of the hotel dispenses sparkling wine with which to watch the sunset over the falls. Breakfasts were lavish buffets, the pool is lovely and heated, and the lush grounds meticulously maintained. Hard to find fault!

Stunning hotel.
Everything about this hotel and stay in it was excellent. To start with the location is perfect - in the National Park with access to the falls after the park closes to the general public. It is a beautiful hotel which is furnished in a colonial style. Spotlessly clean. All the staff are friendly and helpful and make you feel a valued customer. Food in the Ipe restaurant is excellent for both breakfast and evenings. Our stay in this hotel made our visit to the Iguazu Falls even more special.

Magical location and magical hotel
This hotel is definitely 5* if not more, perfect location to watch the falls and the staff were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough for their guests. We totally enjoyed watching sunset over the falls each evening from the hotel grounds with free glass of champagne each evening and our early morning walks to the falls before the general public was allowed to enter the grounds. We also booked a trip to Argentina side falls from the hotel and had a nice guide with his car, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was an amazing experience..

Superb Hotel, Fantastic Service
The Belmond was undoubtedly the highlight of our 3 weeks in South America. Fabulous hotel in every way. From check in to check out, this hotel delivered! Gorgeous room (deluxe), very comfortable. Impressive service from all the team. First class restaurants & bar. Excellent breakfast! And the location - simply unbelievable. Expensive but well worth the money. An unforgettable experience & the very best way to see the falls. Amazing!!

We stayed at Hotel Cataratas at the end of our 17 days in Brazil. A perfect ending. Our room was charming and comfortable, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel neglected to make arrangements for our transport from the airport (which was included in our LL package), but they made up for the error many times over during our stay, including a complementary guide when we visited the Iguassu Falls on the Argentina side. The location of the hotel also provides access to the viewing trails for the falls during hours when the park is closed to other tourist. A real bonus that is not available to those staying in the hotel in the Argentinian park. Next time I stay at Hotel Cataratas I'll coordinate my trip with a full moon!
