Great and beautiful hotel.
The location is truly walking distance to the falls and bird sanctuary . Plan for 3 days minimum here.
The only suggestion: I wish the hot tub and pool are heated . The water is cold . We end up can’t use it.

The location is ideal for visiting Foz do Iguacu and the Parque das Aves bird sanctuary - both just a short walk from hotel. It's also like a little oasis - a beautiful quiet place to relax and enjoy.

This place was absolutely a dream. The location is just a quick walk away from the falls and from parque aves. The property itself has a beautiful walking trail, pool, hot tubs and a game room.
OMG the breakfast was top notch and delicious! Not only do they have the standard buffet options that changed daily, they had cooked to order options as well (the egg Benedict with salmon was incredible!) The entire dining room is beautiful and clean.
The entire staff were so gracious and kind. From the welcoming concierge to the waitresses, everyone was so nice and helpful. We really enjoyed the nightly water and chocolate, such a great touch of service.
Room service was delicious, fast and great options
One thing to note that we weren't aware of... while it is close to the parks and airport, its not walking close to anything else. If you don't have a car, plan on a quick 10 min Uber into town for shopping or restaurants. They were were cheap and easy to book, but something to consider if you want more to do than just the parks.

We WILL be back! Thank you Sanma hotel for incredible memories and a wondering vacation stay.

Pros: Property grounds are pretty
-Staff friendly
-Clean
- Jonas (piano player) was very talented and very friendly.

Cons: Tourist Tax charged and hotel didn’t notify us there would be this charge
- Room AC was leaking water everywhere which was clearly a consistent problem b/c the wood floors were already buckled and sagging.
-Bathroom lights not working and handle to bathroom door came off.
-Amenities were nice if working properly. Hot tubs were warm not hot and it’s winter time. Sauna only had one side of coals on. When asked to turn other side on they said no.
- Got charged for a drink that wasn’t what we ordered. They said we needed to go to reception to get it fixed. We decided to go on a walk. 45 min later they said time expired for a refund. Like what?!! They did offer us two cheaper drinks but I would have preferred refund.
-The food from the restaurant and bar was mediocre.

Overall disappointed in the stay especially for a resort hotel.

The breakfast is very good and the room was clean. We found the room to be quite small. There is no closet or dressers so we had to live out of our luggage. I had a gown for a wedding that I was attending but no where to hang it safely. We were supposed to receive a bottle of sparkling wine in our room but it was not present. The shower drain was clogged and it almost flooded the bathroom. However, the staff is amazing and they fixed the shower and brought us sparkling wine. The pool area is so beautiful and we really enjoyed hiking the trail. We were able to see beautiful birds and monkeys.

Modern property with good amenities near Iguazu Falls. Unfortunately, they did not provide the room we booked (Master Suite), but instead they provided a standard queen room. When we asked for our original room category, they said they don't have availability and provided an alternative of a Junior Suite, which we didn't accept as it was overlooking a wall from all windows. The staff was kind enough to provide some free drinks and free room service for the inconvenience, but no refund was given for the difference in price between the room we booked and the one we were provided with.

The Sanma Hotel was a great hotel if you want to see the Iguana Falls. It was located just about an 8 minute walk to the falls on the Brazil side and also close to the Parque Des Aves (the bird park) and the aquarium. They had a travel desk where we could book a driver to see the Argentina side of the falls and the services they provided were very convenient. The buffet breakfast was very good with a lot of choices. After viewing the sights, the pool was very nice and it was a great place to relax. The rooms were nice and clean, although a bit small. We booked a superior triple room, because our son joined us on the trip and it was a little crowded in the room, but the beds were comfortable. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay at the Sanma Hotel and I would recommend staying there.

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.

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.
