Village Cataratas

It was like being in a loft in the rainforest; the room was spacious and the bed comfortable; the room had a wall of windows to the jungle and a small balcony into the forest; we had both sun and a rainforest downpour, which was kind of cozy in the room. We stayed for two nights to visit the Iguazu Falls on both sides of the border (definitely go to Brazil!). The hotel has seen better days; the bathroom was dated and that might have been where you could see the age the most -- though the layout of the property was somewhat grand, with space between buildings that house the rooms, another that had the restaurant, and a separate area for the pool and some play area for kids. The breakfast was a bit limited and had attendants serving small portions at the buffet, probably because people have taken advantage of the free breakfast; but the options were somewhat limited and the fruit was not terribly fresh or ripe. It was nice to have a pool to jump into and the temperature was good; no hot tub. The location was driving distance to the small, somewhat rundown town. Once you go over the border into Brazil, it's a whole different economic reality; much more development, money and infrastructure. The price was good so the value was decent.

A beautiful area with loads of opportunities to improve. Breakfast is good and meals from menu average to good, guess it depends whose working in the kitchen. I had a great cheese burger!! There is a challenge with noise pollution when there’s screaming children / parents. There was also very loud music from somewhere the Thu night until about 2am. Not sure if there’s a club adjacent to the National Park. They should put parents with kids separate from couples. The layout allows for that. Lovely staff with everyone trying to recover from the economic impact of covid. Very well maintained property and very clean. Pool is under renovation for summer. Pet friendly attitude definitely 5 stars. We had our little pug Charlie with us and it was a breeze. I enjoyed my stay very much and will visit again .
