Gran Meliá Iguazú

Pictures did not lie: the Gran Melia is located square in the middle of the Iguazu National Park, on the path towards the lower and upper trails around the waterfalls (think 5-minute walk to the start of the lower trail). The hotel itself is magnificent, with an outdoor swimming pool with a view of the falls (soaking in the pool while admiring the waterfalls is an experience to remember!), very comfortable lounging chairs, a nice restaurant and a rooftop bar. Rooms are well-equipped and comfortable, and staff was efficient, if not particularly friendly (some spoke no English, so interactions were sometimes difficult). But, all in all, a great stay in the heart of the Iguazu Park, with a splendid view of the falls.

The hotel is amazing! The location is exclusive and it provides excellent service! The rooms are great with the views. Though we booked a room with forest view, at the check-in we were offered a discounted upgrade to the waterfalls view with Red Level which was totally worth it! The breakfast was the best we had in our 3-week trip around Argentina and Melia did not disappoint us as always! The exclusivity this hotel provides is that you get 1 hour advantage to get to the park and see the waterfalls before the crowd, though it is not advertised (for a good reason!). We had the park for ourselves from 8 am for 1 hour which is totally worth the money the hotel charges, but provides par service for that money! We definitely would recommend to stay there for its excellent service, location and quality. The spa onsite, the pools and terraces are all great too. The animals around the hotel are just amazing and friendly. The final touch - a gift at the end of our stay was just a cherry on a cake. Thanks to all in Gran Melia Iguazu for this great stay!

I loved that it was in the Iguazu National Park and we were able to walk from the Hotel to the falls, we hike the upper and lower circuits 3 times while staying here, we also at at the restaurant in the hotel each night, the food was fantastic, the included breakfast was amazing there were so many options to choose from, there is a bar on the roof were we ordered some food and drinks and just watched the falls from there, the staff was amazing even during check in we received a cool towel and complementary drinks, everyone was super friendly, I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back

Well where do I start!! IT WAS AN AMAZING hotel!! LOVED LOVED LOVED!!! There are some special hotel experiences on the planet - this is one of them. To walk into reception and see the mist of the falls blew us away. To swim in the beautiful pool and gaze over at the falls in the close proximity is unique. Great service all around and the restaurant food was equalloy top notch! A great experience and one I shall never forget.

Location and magical views of Iguazu Falls, staff and food amazing Facial at spa was lovely
