Hotel berhampiran LA ARIPUCA, Puerto Iguazú

As we drove to La Aldea lodge from the airport, I noticed a lot of typical hotels along the highway. They looked nice, but there was nothing really special about them. Then we turned down a country road with horses, on to a gravel drive surrounded by jungle. This hotel is different! Inside the lodge which had high ceilings and magnificent carvings and paintings, we were met by friendly staff. It took a while to check in but once we did - wow. We exited the rear of the lodge and were on raised paths surrounded by jungle! All the cabins are grouped off the paths into small lots of four or less, and have animal themes. There are helpful signs to the shared facilities like an all purpose room - great for families to get together, and the pool area which was massive. The drinks were amazing, delivered pool side, but the service was a little hit or miss. For example, sometimes drinks would take ten minutes or one hour! They also took almost four hours to deliver my room service one day, but I was sick and sleeping on and off so I didn't mind. They were SUPER apologetic though. The buffet breakfast was awesome, but the rest of the food was average. My friends had to send out for some medicine for me as I became quite ill with a cold that had run through our entire group. The hotel staff were really kind and helpful with getting me what I needed. I had my laundry done once which was great but you can only send small baskets, instead of large bags, and there are no DIY services for laundry. However, it all came back super clean and folded, and completely dry. The rooms were really comfy with excellent aircon, hot showers, and our own private balcony with hammock. This is the jungle, and we did have insects and more on our balcony, plus a giant leech and some insects inside as well. However, this didn't bother most of the people on our trip and was not an issue at all. If you are really anti-bug, probably don't stay in the jungle! Overall though, the atmosphere of this place cannot be beat. To be surrounded by jungle, to see wildlife all around you and hear it, even down to the little 'lodge cats' that meander here and there - let's call it the vibe. The vibe was epic. I would give five stars if the facility get a little more streamlined with their processes and the food improves, but would I stay here again? In a heartbeat.

Came over after a terrible experience at Rainforest and it was like heaven on earth. The hotel is conveniently located with a bus stop 5 min walk outside that takes you to the airport and the waterfalls at hourly frequency. There is also a taxi operator right across the hotel. The hotel staff immediately walked out to assist with our luggage upon our arrival and was extremely hospitable. A complimentary 25 min visit to the sauna was included, gimmicky but it was a nice touch. The room was large, spacious and clean. AC was reliable as was the hot water and water pressure. Breakfast was basic but there was a large spread. We had an enjoyable experience.

Large hotel ideally located for visiting Iguazu Falls complete with spa and swimming pool in a wonderful garden setting. Our room was large and very well equipped with a balcony overlooking the garden with its tropical plants. There is a screen attached and you are advised to use the screen to stop any wildlife/creatures entering your room. Air conditioning was efficient and was well used when we visited as we found the heat outside very hard to deal with. The breakfasts were plentiful and would suit all tastes. Bar snacks and evening meals were well presented and tasty and along with drinks were reasonably priced. All staff were very pleasant and helpful and due to the remoteness of the hotel they will arrange taxis to take guests in to the town of Iguazu and further afield. We enjoyed our stay.

No wonder that the hotel was twice elected best hotel in Argentina. The location is of course unbeatable. But the service is also amazing. From the huge pool there is a wonderful view on the falls. Different restaurants/bars including a roof top bar. Big advantage is, that hotel guests can be at the falls before the masses arrive, Only thing to criticize is the fact that in the evenings the smoke from the BBQ makes it really unpleasant to sit outside.

Staff were super friendly and left a note and cake for my bf when it was his birthday. Unexpected and very sweet. Great at giving different options for transport around the area. Location couldn't be better a minute walk to the bus terminal. We used the bus every day travelling to iguazu falls Argentina and Brasil side.

Fuimos en Enero 2024. Es la segunda vez que vamos al Hotel, la primera en Febrero 2019, era impecable, ni una queja. Volvimos por este motivo, resulta que el baño es un asco de sucio, los bordes de la pileta naranjas y la mampara con manchas y el jabón de los huéspedes anteriores, las toallas raspan de viejas que son y manchadas también, el agua de la ducha sale hirviendo o fría, no hay término medio. La pintura en la pared toda manchada. La habitación, debajo de las camas tremenda tierra y pelusas, el resto relucía. Las sábanas sin elástico y arrugadas, las almohadas sin cobertor, las frazadas con olor a viejo y grasitud. Colchón matrimonial hundido, nos quedamos 6 días y tremendo dolor de espalda. La cocina donde preparan el desayuno, está afuera al aire libre. Obviamente no hay heladeras en las habitaciones asique compartis una con demás huéspedes en zona de recepción, hay hormigas caminando por las paredes, la cocina para huéspedes es compartida sólo para lavar los utensillos que ensuciaste, también llena de hormigas. El desayuno medio pelo, la pileta está babosa y con moho. Baños compartidos asquerosos de sucios y sin papel higiénico. Muy, DEMASIADO descuidado el hotel, falta mantenimiento. Una pena que lo hayan dejado venirse a abajo. Destaco que se puede dejar la valija y qued**** en espacios compartidos si tu vuelo sale más tarde y vos ya tenias que dejar el hotel. También la atención en recepción.

The hotel is in a funny location, nestled amongst houses in what is a completely residential neighbourhood. But, it's a pretty easy 10 minute walk to the centre of town, where there are plenty of places to eat. The guy who checked us in was lovely and spoke very good English, which was helpful for us, but he was sooooo incredibly slow! We had a driver from the airport who dropped us to the hotel, and then was going to take us back to the falls. She waited at least half an hour while we dropped our bags and registered. (As it was early, and as expected, the room wasn't yet ready). The roof top pool was nice with views, particularly as a storm blew through, but it was a funny colour. Our room was a decent sized triple, and was ok. It was clean enough, but the room and bathroom both felt dated despite the hotel not really appearing to be that old. The lifts felt a bit dodgy though, and were often out of service, and the cooling in hallways and some other public spaces was ineffective to non-existent. Breakfast was included, and again was just ok. We wanted to stay close to the centre of town, and this hotel ticked that box at a reasonable price. There are probably better options a bit out of town with a more resort-type vibe, which is not what we wanted. I wouldn't rush back here, but it served its purpose for this trip.

Отличный отель с прекрасным видом. Нам повезло с менеджером отеля и она нас разместила в видовой номер с шикарным видом. Спасибо!

This is a hidden gem, especially the restaurant, which had the best food of our trip. Some reviews said taxis didn’t like going there because of the rough road at the end, but our driver had no problem with it. Some reviews said it was moldy but our room was clean , spacious, and even had a bidet. The hotel restaurant and pool have a great view overlooking the Paraná River. The grounds are charming, with a mission motif. Service at the restaurant was impeccable, and prices extremely reasonable by US standards. The bill for ojo de bife (ribeye) which seemed like a filet mignon to us, mashed potatoes, chicken with rice and vegetables, an excellent bottle of Mendoza Malbec, and a passion fruit mousse for dessert, came to about $50 including a generous tip. I believe non-hotel diners are welcome. We stayed at Iguazu Jungle Lodge two nights before and everything was superior here at a better price, only because-it is off the beaten path. Highly recommend.

Great hotel. They’re working on remodeling some rooms but it never interfered with our stay. All staff that we interacted were very nice and attentive. We were lucky enough to get a courtesy upgrade to one of the suites and it was awesome. Room was clean, tidy, and super comfortable. Thank you!
