Premises are in a state of disrepair . Carpets worn, faded and stained. Towels ragged, ratty, and inadequate. Buffet breakfast just adequate. No restaurant available and only uninspired snacks offered during the day. The place is isolated and one has to take a taxi to find dinner
Service. The « spa » is a joke with a broken jacuzzi. Avoid this dump at all costs.

Proximity and service

Close to the airport. Close to the waterfalls park. Rio de Uruguay bus stops right in front of the hotel (and drops off across the street. The restaurant has great food. If you are looking for a hotel with spacious rooms, near the airport/park, and with food on site then this hotel is perfect.

My room was spacious, but the bathroom needed to be updated. No big deal.

Some facilities unavailable

I was finishing up my tour of Sth America with a stay at this nice hotel ... 4 stars! Great deal! Thinking I would splash out... unfortunately the pool and jacuzzi were under maintenance... not advised at the booking point. I know it is the cooler months but this is a tropical area so I wanted to use the pool.. I know they have to do maintenance at some point but it was the lack of info to advise beforehand as to why I got a good deal... they did have a nice sauna and steam room... though the steam room didn’t seem to work very well...
In addition it was a distance out of town without shuttle services into town and not many facilities and limited dinner options

well. for $100 a night i expect outlets that work with American plugs, sheets that cover you completely when the wall a/c unit just blows cold and doesnt stop all night, i would expect they can change $20 usd into pesos so i can get a cab to the airport without having to ask the manager. i would expect a restaurant on the property with a la carte menu, instead of only buffet dinners. on the whole a very disapointing place but, given you are in the middle of a jungle, i guess not too bad.

Gran Hotel Tourbillion Cataratas.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The room was overlooking the road and we had a terrace and the room type was mini suite . The room was spacious and well presented. No tea or coffee or kettle to make a coffee or rea in the room. There was no iron or board so you may ha e to ask if needed. Breakfast was buffet style and it was good. Lots of sweet treats and standard scramble eggs, bacon, cereal, juice ( orange) etc. The bed was not comfortable to sleep because the mattress seemed to high in the middle and then it felt it was pushing your body to the end of the bed as you sleep. Location was ok, had Cabañas and two pools, plus a pool bar. To get to places you need a taxi ride or get a car. No currency change was available in the hotel.

Paper thin walls

Not sure how it got a 4 star rating. 2.5-3 at best. Rooms not in the greatest conditions. Cracking, peeling, bathroom tiles falling off. Walls are literally paper thin, we had conversations with our kids through the walls. Bring ear plugs. On the main road, si you have to take a taxi to get anywhere. Better yo stay in town. Pool was nice. If you have little kids it will keep them occupied. Dont be fooled though, the jacuzzi is NOT heated, basically a cold dip. Breakfast is good, average for most hotels. Only hot eggs and bacon with lots of fruit and bread products. Dinner was cheap and tasty but service was slow even when empty. Staff us nice but speaks NO English. Hard to get basic requests answered, master Google translate before you go. Gym is ok but is only open in the afternoon for some reason. Unless you have little kids who will play in the pool and on the nice lawn and playground you are better off in town. Thin walls are a big problem.

Delightful resort hotel with lots to offer.

Lovely setting, pool big enough for lap swimming (my wife loved it!). Large spacious room, great a/c, balcony faced pool and large garden/green space. Animal/cricket sounds at night were magical. We left patio door open at night to hear jungle sounds. Super breakfast choices, multiple tropical fruits, scrambled eggs, decent coffee (best with cocoa). Downsides: fridge not cold (needed defrosting badly), hotel policy forbids bringing in any food of your own, or you will be charged for entire overpriced contents therein. We felt we had to hide previously purchased oranges and wine. Too corporate in that respect. Fortunately no-food policy wasn’t strictly enforced, but it made us paranoid. Only hotel we’ve ever stayed at in over forty countries with this stated policy. Also, frequent short power outages first night. Staff helpful, but virtually no English spoken, disappointing for large international style hotel at top tourist site in entire country. Easy free parking, but due to location out of Puerto Iguazu, car/taxi necessary to access town and MAGNIFICENT Iguazu Falls. IceBar, mine/gem store next door. We would definitely stay again!

We asked the hotel staff to help address the issue but the response was eh there is nothing I can do. Disappointed and would not go back.

The lobby, pool and dining room were okay — fairly updated and seemed clean — but the room was a kindof creepy. A/C was n ot very strong or helpful given the high local temps. The \"packaged\" soap had clearly been used before and then put back in the packaging. Bedding was dingy and bed a pit soft.

An elegant peaceful retreat with beautiful grounds

The hotel itself was elegant, and the staff was friendly. We enjoyed comfortable beds and a walk in their beautiful gardens. It was unclear when dinner would be served, and we ate a modest meal at 5:30 rather than waiting until 8 for their buffet, which did look excellent. Possibly we did not understand what we had been told during check in and our misunderstanding could have been prevented. The pool and hot tub we're both drained at the time we visited, unfortunately, but looked fine to us. We had a fairly strong day long rainstorm the last day of our stay, and a small place in the hall ceiling began leaking. Nothing major. One of the elevators also was out of order. The hotel as a whole was delightful, however.
