The hype
The location is unbeatable and the service is impeccable, but the rooms can feel small for the price point.
Hotel Das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel, Iguassu Falls
$500-850+ / malam
Tempah ini jika You want the bucket-list privilege of walking the Iguassu Falls trails alone at sunrise before the thousands of tourists arrive.
Mengapa Orang Suka Ini
- Exclusive access to the falls before 9am and after 5pm
- The only hotel located inside the Brazilian National Park
- Old-world colonial charm with pink walls and lush gardens
Ringkasan Cepat: You are paying a premium for the location and the silence of the park at dawn, not for massive modern suites.
Ditinjau oleh @daria_perebaskina: I honestly couldn't believe the location—it's the only hotel right inside the park. Having the falls to myself at sunrise before the tourists arrived was a core memory unlocked. The property is gorgeous, just keep an eye on your snacks around the coatis!
