Reviews of Gran Meliá Iguazú

“El lugar exclusivo, rodeado de naturaleza, animales salvajes, piscina (Translated by Google) The exclusive location, surrounded by nature, wild animals, and a swimming pool”

“Best hotel in the area. Closest to falls. Great pool. Rooms are okay, but not great.”

“The Gran Meliá Iguazú Hotel is a truly beautiful and exceptionally located hotel right in the heart of Iguazú National Park. Although the exclusivity of the hotel is reflected in the price of the accommodation, it is definitely worth paying extra here. The level of service is outstanding and the location of the hotel is simply irreplaceable. The hotel’s main advantage is its location. It is situated directly inside the national park. This means you don’t have to wait for the official opening hours to explore the Iguazú Falls. We set out before 8 a.m. and walked for about 30 minutes along the path next to the railway track all the way to Devil’s Throat. We were completely alone there! Nothing can beat this experience. Other tourists started arriving about half an hour later because they had to wait for the park to open and then for the first train that takes visitors to Devil’s Throat. The hotel’s location also allows you to enter the park anytime during your stay, for example in the afternoon when there are generally fewer people. I recommend the Lower Circuit, where you can see almost all of the waterfalls. The hotel itself also offers beautiful views directly toward the section of the falls with Devil’s Throat. The best view is from the rooftop bar. You can also observe a variety of animals. If you look closely at the surrounding trees, you will spot many birds, including the toco toucan. In the afternoon, monkeys—specifically capuchins—often move around the hotel grounds. Sometimes you can watch them picking fruit from the trees and moving around together as a group. However, they also visit hotel balconies and occasionally throw guests’ belongings off them. So it’s important to be careful, not to leave anything on the balcony, and above all to keep the balcony doors closed! The hotel restaurants are excellent. Merkado Restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor section focuses mainly on steaks and also prepares the Argentine specialty asado. When booking dinner, specifically ask for the outdoor seating if you enjoy meat dishes. You won’t find this section listed separately in the restaurant options. Breakfast offers a wide selection, and the staff will also prepare omelets and other dishes on request. Swimmers will certainly appreciate the fantastic 50-meter pool, which is rarely crowded. Usually there are only a few swimmers, so you can enjoy both the swimming and the magnificent views of Iguazú Falls directly from the pool. The poolside service is excellent—hotel staff happily prepare sun loungers, umbrellas, replace towels, and keep the area clean. The pool bar also offers excellent drinks and food (including burgers or delicious pizza). The hotel also includes a spa and a very well-equipped fitness center. Most of the time I had the gym entirely to myself—other guests were probably already exhausted after visiting the waterfalls. Towels, water, and apples are available in the fitness center. And even from the gym there is an amazing view of Iguazú Falls. The hotel staff were extremely kind and helpful. Throughout the entire stay I did not meet anyone who seemed to be in a bad mood. Housekeeping even cleaned the room twice a day, replenishing water and chocolates. It is also worth mentioning the proximity of IGR Airport, which is about a 20-minute drive away. Getting to IGU Airport on the Brazilian side took us about 50 minutes. I recommend arranging transfers directly through the hotel. They were reasonably priced, reliable, and—most importantly—they save a lot of time when crossing the border into Brazil, because authorized drivers can pass through the border faster.”

“Un lugar soñado. Dentro del parque, haces el paseo de cataratas caminando desde el hotel. Increíble gastronomía. Las habitaciones normales, el resto muy bien. (Translated by Google) A dream location. Inside the park, you can walk to the waterfalls from the hotel. Incredible food. The rooms are standard, but everything else is very good.”

“Excelente hotel. Hermosas vistas a las Cataratas. Excelencia en la atención. (Translated by Google) Excellent hotel. Beautiful views of the Falls. Excellent service.”

“Magical experience being right in the national park and looking at the falls from the terrace and pool area. Absolutely beautiful hotel that really enhanced our trip to see the falls.”

“A fantastic location to enjoy Iguazú. It is a serene and comfortable place to relax in the middle of a jungle! The monkeys visit your balcony in search of food, the toucans appear in the morning and the pool invites you to cool off. We had a beautiful room with falls views (the red level) and it was worth every penny. After all, you’re probably not coming back, so just do it! You also get access to the red level lounge where you can sit and have a quiet drink or a bite away from everyone else! What’s not to love. Special thanks go to Esteban who looked after us royally. He and his colleagues are incredibly professional and kind. With the superb views, incredible levels of service and location at one of the world’s great wonders I’m not sure anything could be better. Just make sure you don’t have a “jungle view” or you risk seeing the car park. Splash out- you won’t regret it!”

“Excelentes instalaciones y personal muy a meno, digno de la cadena española... Ubicación PERFECTA (Translated by Google) Excellent facilities and very friendly staff, worthy of the Spanish chain... PERFECT location”

“espectacular estadía (Translated by Google) spectacular stay”

“Eines der besten Hotels, mit fantastischen Service. Essen wie auch die Übernachtung preislich sehr teuer, aber das Geld wert. Unvergleichlicher Ausblick direkt auf die Wasserfälle.”

“This beautiful Gran Meliá Iguazú is located inside Iguazú National Park and features a stunning infinity pool overlooking Iguazú Falls. The views alone make the stay unforgettable. Minutes walk to the boat ride and trails . The food and restaurant are excellent, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel is filled with fragrant lilies, and the entire property smells like a beautiful floral bouquet. Although the hotel is older, it is very well maintained—clean, functional, and comfortable.”

“Fui en octubre del 2024 y lo unico q no habia estado a la altura del hotel fue la cena de esa estadia. Volvi ayer con mi flia y tanto la parrilla, como las pastas, tragos/vinos, estuvieron de 10!. Es caro, pero todos en mi flia coincidimos en que valio la pena. Ada centavo. (Las costillas q no pude probar la vez pasasa, ayer, pude sacarme las ganas y debo decir que tienen que clonar al parrillero) (Translated by Google) I went in October 2024, and the only thing that didn't live up to the hotel's standards was the dinner. I returned yesterday with my family, and the grilled meats, pasta, and drinks/wines were all fantastic! It's expensive, but everyone in my family agreed it was worth every penny. (I couldn't try the ribs last time, but yesterday I finally did, and I have to say they need to clone the grill master!)”

“Excelente atención del pesonal y una vista que no deja de asombrar. (Translated by Google) Excellent service from the staff and a view that never ceases to amaze.”

“這是一間卓越的五星級飯店，所有同仁誠摯真誠的服務每一位顧客，飯店本身著重環境保護、房間供應水不用寶特瓶；有許多的野生動物棲息其間。飯店可以眺望伊瓜蘇瀑布、無邊游泳池景色堪稱絕配、連夜景、無光害、我已經太久沒有看到如此美麗的星空！白天與晚上都呈現最佳自然狀態！”

“イグアスの滝が毎日朝から見えるホテルです。 いつでも歩いて滝を見にいけます。 部屋は広くて快適でした。景色もよく毎日イグアスの滝を眺めていました。プールも広くて、チェアーも貸してもらえます。 また野生の猿が朝と夕方に出てきて、ちょっと怖かったです。ドアを開けると降りてきます。 レストランの食事はどれも美味しかったです。また朝食のブッフェも良かったです。”

“Gran Meliá Iguazú is an 5-star hotel inside Iguazú National Park, with stunning views of Iguazú Falls. On 15 Dec 2025 we arrived the hotel by mistake in the morning as I had clicked an imprecise location on Google Maps for Iguazu park on airport transfer booking, which turned out to be the hotel instead of the main park entrance. The driver spoke little English, and we were worried and confused, expecting to stop at the Park entrance. The hotel staff helped translate between us and the driver, clarifying the situation and guiding us to the park trails via the hotel’s back doors. In the afternoon when we returned the hotel to wait for our pickup before 4:00 p.m. heavy thunderstorm hit and our driver didn’t arrive. We thought the rain had delayed him, but in fact he was held at the checkpoint because he didn’t have the park entry permission. A staff member noticed us anxiously waiting, asked about the situation, and coordinated with the checkpoint to let our driver in. Without their help, we would have missed our flight. Beautiful hotel, outstanding views, and exceptionally attentive staff—even for non-guests👍”

“★★★★★ 伊瓜苏最惊喜的不是瀑布本身，而是住进 Gran Meliá Iguazú。 清晨阳台看云雾翻滚，傍晚在泳池边看夕阳+瀑布，晚上听水声睡觉，真的很难再找到这么浪漫又安静的地方。 酒店整体氛围很克制，不吵、不闹，很适合情侣和家庭。拍照随便一拍都好看，但更重要的是那种“只有我们在这里”的感觉。 今年是我们6000天结婚纪念日，值得浪漫一次，强烈推荐。”
