If you're even thinking about staying here, do it. It was absolutely worth the splurge. Everyone was so kind and everything was so nice. This is the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at by far. I thought I might feel out of place by how fancy it is, but everyone made me feel so welcomed. The staff had such a wonderful way of explaining how things worked without making me feel stupid for not knowing. For example, the first round of stuff in the mini bar is included in your room; no extra charges like other mini bars. On our check in tour (which is also wild that they do a personal tour but so helpful), the host explained it to us clearly how it worked. I honestly could not say enough wonderful things about this place. Its expensive, but if you can swing it, it is worth it for sure.

Hotel is overpriced, understaffed, food is second rate, rooms are very, very small. No where to put suitcases. Staff need customer service training. The establishment is tired and needs modernising. This is by far the most disappointing Belmond experience.

Having booked several hotels across the world I am a bit disappointed at their handling of my booking. We are two Adults, one child (6y) and recently have an infant as well. The hotel policy allows one extra bed for my child (6y) complimentary as do most hotels for families. However, as we also have an infant who co-sleeps with us in our bed (and does not require an extra bed) Belmond has decided to add another $500 to our stay to 'accommodate' the infant. I haven't had this issue at any hotel and would be more than happy to pay for an extra bed if that is what we needed. Paying $500 for my 2 year old to co-sleep with us sounds like a ridiculous interpretation of their policy. They also offered us a second room (i.e. double the price) but I have explained it is pointless as no-one will use it! Disappointed with the service.

Hotel was beautiful, decor very Portuguese our room and bathroom was very pretty, definitely a wow when we walked in. Window in our room looked across at the falls, perfect, great facilities pool, restaurant and a wonderful tower you must visit for amazing views. Staff were all wonderful and very professional and helpful.
