Great location to view falls; excellent staff
Pros:

Nice rooms, comfortable bed, lovely view of Iguazu Falls, nicely manicured lawn around pool and patio. Bar service was slow. We were with a group of 30 and the in-hotel group meals seemed rushed and were not well coordinated.

A view like no other
Pros:

A memorable stay at Grand Melia Iguazu. Perfect location with view of the Falls, great service and excellent amenities including spa. Very convenient to access different areas of the park/trails. Enjoyed the quiet beauty of the park early morning when the park opened and before it got very busy.

Location, location, location
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location could not be better! The view was breathtaking and being able to walk through the park before all the other visitors arrive felt like a real privilege (and gave us the chance to share the path with an agouti)!

Our falls view room felt a little tired and perhaps not at the same standard as the communal areas, but the opportunity to watch the monkeys in action was priceless.

We stayed half-board and found the portion sizes to be too big and the menu a little uninspiring. We tried both restaurants, but the best meal we had was from the bar.

Visiting Iguazú will live long in the memory - an unbelievable experience.

The view and access is worth every penny!
Pros:

We booked a jungle view, and when checking in they offered a waterfall view (with an up charge), which we took and are so glad that we did. Worth every extra penny! Can’t beat the view or the sound of the falls. The added bonus of course is that you can get on the trails early and see the falls up close before the crowds. Staff was friendly and attentive. Poolside food was a bit pricey, especially for bottled water. I wouldn’t say the rooms are dated, but just in need of a little attention (cracks, stains), which for the price I’d expect better.

Fabulous Hotel with Breathtaking view
Pros:

Had a fabulous stay. The hotel is great and the view is breathtaking! It is a huge advantage to be in the park. The food was very good. But what really shone was the service, especially in the lounge. The check-in team are great but Stephan especially was incredibly helpful and always offering great drinks and food. Take the boat but book early. Do both the upper and lower walk routes but leave time for the infinity pool experience!

Recommend for its location
Pros:

You will save huge amounts of time queuing for entrance to the national park by staying at this hotel. The hotel is big & impersonal. Lovely rooms & beautiful shared spaces. Main gripe is that there is one main restaurant and on our 3 nights we could not book a time we wanted, despite paying for Red Level. Breakfast in the restaurant is superb, however, for dinner we waited over an hour to be served. The staff are doing their very best but the staffing levels were just not fit for purpose. The hotel is very special due to its location & views of the falls but it does feel like a bit like a large, conveyor-belt type hotel. Nothing awful at all, just didn’t feel like a valued guest. It is very expensive due to its location.

One of our most incredible experiences in a first class hotel with stunning views
Pros:

We had the most amazing time at the Gran Melia, the setting is stunning, staff incredibly friendly and helpful and the food is excellent. We upgraded to the Red level and delighted we did, we were looked after like royalty by Esteban and his colleagues. The hotel’s setting is clearly its major benefit and attraction but the pool area is stunning and service levels are 5 star. Other reviews had berr er n pretty negative about the food and were more than pleasantly surprised at the quality. I would highly recommend paying the extra for a falls view room, only thing I would suggest is to ask for one that’s not directly above the restaurant canopy, it slightly takes away from the vista.

Great Hotel and Location
Pros:

Being low maintenance guests, just opt for normal service. Not Red Level. This hotel is outstanding in it's own right.

Unique experience!
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, inside the Iguazú park. Service is excellent, kudos to Hector and Miguel during breakfast! Being inside the park makes it easier to visit the park without booking expensive excursions. I recommend the "media pension" option, ordering a la charte is very expensive.

Stunning views and unforgettable memories.
Pros:

Stunning location with the best view in Argentina. The resort is expansive and beautiful. The restaurant food was very nice but not quite the quality we expected when it came to their steaks. Very chewy.

Gran Meliá Iguazú
Pros:

The hotel staff were very friendly, accommodating and made us feel welcomed. Antoinette (1 of4) checked us in on February 11, 2026 was friendly and very informative about the accommodations and available service at the hotel. Antonella in the Red Level lounge was extra helpful, friendly and professional in assisting us with our needs.

A privilege and a great pleasure to stay here
Pros:

From the very moment that we walked into reception and saw the view of the falls it was clear that this was something special. The hotel has a perfect location, not least the infinity pool with a view of the falls. Because the hotel is inside the national park we were able to take advantage of early access to the trails (which do get very crowded later).The food, accommodation and service was excellent. I would happily have stayed beyond two nights! Although it can be hot and crowded, you must take the train and then walk to the platforms which overlook the falls. Thank you, Iguazu and Gram Melia.
