Reviews for Belmond Hotel das Cataratas
Magical and worth every penny
This is an extraordinary hotel. Its also an extraordinary price, but well worth it. It therefore needed to be good, but it exceeded my expectations. The little touches like the complimentary sparkling wine at sunset out of the iconic pink camper van was a lovely gesture. The rooms are beautifully furnished, the beds are comfortable. the bathrooms are gorgeous. The staff are friendly, informal and approachable. Loved the bar. Breakfast was sumptuous in terms of range and quality. The main dining room was a little echoey and loud for dinner, so make sure you go out for a table by the pool. Although they do a buffet for dinner, there is also a la carte. That was the only part of the stay that I can't rave about, We didn't try the tasting menu place for dinner. The swimming pool area and gym are both great. Never felt too busy, so was lovely to come back to. Perhaps the most important thing to note is the exclusive access you get to the falls before and after the park opens and closes. It means you get the place to yourselves for at least an hour or two at the beginning and end of each day. We set off just after sunrise for a guided tour of the falls (again, a complimentary part of the hotel's offer) and it was magical. When you see the scale of the crowds that build during the day, you can see why the hotel is worth the money just for this aspect alone, but I was delighted to see the whole experience matched / exceeded expectations too.

The detail gone into our stay by staff was amazing.
Amazing detail from staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Veronica and Ana, guest experience were so good and feel totally spoilt. Will be recommending this hotel to our friends in New Zealand if they come to this part of the world.

The upper side of the Falls
A very unique place (landmark) in a very unique environment. The hotel offers all things (services, food, rooms) with the highest quality, with a particularly well trained and attentive staff. The immediate proximity to the Iguacu Falls is of course a plus. One of the highlights of our Brazilian trip.

Sublime, em todos os aspetos!
The perfect gateway for a romantic, yet sporty weekend. The hotel site and staff are absolutely amazing. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality.

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!
