This hotel is outstanding. Very reasonably priced for such a five-star experience. The staff were professional and friendly. The facilities were top-notch. It has a really luxurious feel, and is only minutes from the airport and the National Park. It is also a five-minute walk to the outstanding bird park and the new aquarium. The grounds and the pool area are so beautiful and well-maintained. Obrigado to everyone at Sanma Hotel. This was an excellent place to stay. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. I could easily stay a week at this remarkable hotel. Can’t wait to return. 10++++/10.

Nice hotel, although rooms a little on the small side. Lovely pool area. Breakfast with a good range of food, but dinners were OK, but nothing exciting. Hotel is very close to the Iguazu falls park entry, 10 mins walk, and the bird park opposite. Hotel can organise trips to the Argentine side.

The pool and food were fantastic. A perfect oasis to relax after touring the Iguassu Falls parks. Just know that very few staff speak English (mostly just at the front desk).

Can’t say enough about the service, from front desk to concierge, through servers, musician. We also used the pool, the gym and the garden, which were all first grade. The best part, at least for us, is the location. We could walk leisurely to the waterfall park, the heliport and the bird park from the property, avoiding the long line on the highway and parking lot.

Forgettable, but It’s nicely located close to the Waterfalls, Bird park, helicopter ride.

They have a partnership with Expedia where they offer a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine for Gold members of Expedia, but even after asking Cicero for it they never came through. First hotel to not offer what was advertised from Expedia. In Rio our hotel immediately acknowledged and provided our drinks and discounts.

My whole family was shocked by how bad the food was. Breakfast was by far the best meal and it was only ok. Dinner was terrible. Pasta sauce was straight from a jar. Croutons on the salad were just soft bread, not even toasted. They did not offer any kind of local Brazilian bbq. Pina colada was unblended, so basically pina colada mix over ice. French fries were frozen vs fresh. Burger was ok. We’ve been to nice resorts in Europe, Costa Rica, and Africa and all had much better food. Also we booked what though was 2 rooms and while yes each room had its own door we shared a bathroom. Not the biggest issue but make sure you understand what you are getting. Last, there were only 2 hooks for 4 people to hang towels. Why not put 2 on the back of every door???

Excellent location: walking distance from the Iguaçu National Park gate as well as at the edge of the actual rainforest makes for a huge advantage. Flora and fauna is bountiful and one feel really connected to the nature hearings chirping birds througout the day. Hotel building feels welcoming and comfortable with wooden parquet floors and sunlit corridors. Lobby is stylish and spacious, green, well maintained surrounding is a huge bonus. Rooms aren't big but they are fresh, cozy and clean. Food is rather average, sometimes bit disappointing, however, this isn't unexpected: Iguaçu isn't major hub and still catching up with international standards. Hotel staff is kind and welcoming, however, it was somewhat difficult to communicate. More often than not I felt misunderstood and it seemed that what could be simple requests elsewhere, required an extra explanation or speaking to numerous staff to be arranged for. This was rather minor inconvenience and overall, if I was to visit Iguaçu again I would likely book Sanma.

My family stayed at the Sanma Hotel in Nov '25. When I was looking for hotels near Foz do Iguacu, I was skeptical of the 9.6 (out of 10) rating for such a reasonably priced hotel. The Sanma Hotel exceeded what I expected. The check-in process was fast and efficient, the hotel staff from the front desk to the restaurant and cleaning staff were all friendly, our 2 adjoining rooms were good sized and super clean and well maintained, the lobby area is spacious. The restaurant food - both breakfast and dinner was high quality with an expanded menu. The Sanma exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Brasilian side of Foz do Iguacu.

Pros: The hotel was very nice (reception, room and pool area). The staff was super helpful and nice too. Cons:,There was some weird plumbing in the room (the water in the toilet was bubbling when the shower was on!) Also the food was average, and pricey. The “spa” was outside and looked like a trailer in the pool area. Also it’s far from the center of the town and you have to take a taxi/ uber everywhere. And last but not least, the “art” in the hotel is very weird, with paintings of native people dying etc… creepy! So overall it was not bad but not excellent. It was ok for the price …

They would have received a higher rating but when we ordered at taxi the night before for an early departure there was no taxi in the morning.This caused a lot of stress for us as they kept saying it would be there in 5 minutes but it took 30 minutes. I am over 80 and found it put too much unnecessary pressure on me. We panicked as we had to rush but we did catch our flight.

The public spaces in this hotel are very nice, big spaces, intriguing art work. The room itself was disappointing. I booked a room with a double bed and a single bed and got a very small room with two single beds. The hotel did not mention the ongoing construction in advance- and it was quite noisy. The breakfast buffet was ok but the coffee was terrible. The concierge was helpful. The hotel is far from the city center but near the bird park and falls.
