Lodging near Iguazú National Park, South America

"The hotel is located within the Iguacu Falls National Park, which allows us the freedom to visit the falls more than once and when the weather was more favourable (it had been raining non stop for the past 3 days). As taxis a and private hire cars are unable to enter the park, the hotel provides a shuttle service to ferry their guests from the National Park entrance to the hotel (11km distance, 20-minute journey). The hotel staff was wonderful, from reception staff to housekeeping to the wait staff in the bar and restaurant. We did the cachaça experience and learnt a lot about the iconic brazilian liquor. The hotel room was perfect. We got upgraded to a deluxe room with garden view. The room was clean, beautiful and spacious, befitting of a colonial-style hotel. The reception staff was very accommodating to our early arrival and got us a room promptly. Thank you very much! Taking full advantage as hotel guests, we walked the falls trail twice, once in the afternoon (cloudy sky) and once more the following morning (clear blue sky). Our only regret was that the full moon tour was cancelled, despite the sky having cleared up. In the end, we could only admire the falls and the moon rainbow at the viewpoint right outside the hotel; the trail was closed and we were not allowed to access it without a guide. Would've been wonderful to have been able to see the moon rainbow at Salto San Maria!"

"Property well located near aiport and cataratas with gentle stuff. Good entertainment for children. Lemir restaurant is fantastic."

"The Sanma hotel is perfectly located within walking distance to the Falls entrance and the bird sanctuary. We took Uber into town for other activities, and dining with quick pick ups. We only had dinner once at the hotel as it was pouring rain, it is expensive. The property itself is very beautiful and seems renovated in areas like the lobby and restaurants. However the room was very dated and the beds are not too comfortable. They did kindly offer us another room it had a renovated bathroom but it was smaller, so we opted not to change rooms. The staff is very friendly and spoke excellent English, also the breakfast selection is very good. Overall I don’t feel this is a true 5 star because of the rooms, but I would recommend this hotel. "

"We had our previous flight delayed so we could only enjoy the hotel for 3 hours. Although it was a short stay, it has been one of the best ever! Alexander at the front desk was very accommodating and allowed us an extra hour check-out to get ready for our next leg of our journey home - it was priceless!! Next time around we will make sure to stay a lot longer. It looks like a brand new building, with very very comfortable bed, the staff was very pleasing and to us the most important in this trip, a hot and strong shower! If you are planning to arrive or leave by bus, it doesn't get any better, only 50 meters separate the Luz from the bus station. On a plus side, they have excursions to Argentina and Paraguay that can be booked very easily and cheap. "

"Amazing stay, staff were friendly, awesome place for families, rooms were super clean and food was also great! I highly recommend it!"

"I was very impressed by the property and the staff. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. It looks like they have expansion plans to make the place even more amazing. The rooms were comfortable. The beds were very firm but I liked them. The air conditioning was very cold. The drinks were good and reasonably priced. They had adequate games. We enjoyed the bowling. Also the massage was well priced and very good. I would go back again and recommend to others. "

"Great pools and play areas and restaurant on premises. "
