La Reserva Virgin Lodge

Beautiful little lodge hotel set in the middle of the rainforest in Iguazu. We only had 2 nights here as part of an organised tour but it was a little slice of paradise. We had a beautiful room in an eco pod with a covered terrace with table, chairs and hammock. It was so peaceful and relaxing just listening to the birds. The hotel has very helpful staff and a lovely pool with pool bar and restaurant serving food and drinks all day. The food quality was very good and reasonably priced. The hotel is located close to the entrance to the national park where you can explore the falls from both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides.

Nice lodge in the forest. Great gateway to visit the falls and relax in the afternoon with the kids and other families at the pool.
Food was good in the evening but breakfast even though it is a buffet 80% is full of sugar with unhealthy sweet things.

Decent place to stay, but rooms are strung out a long way from reception. Since it rains often, you'd expect the walkways to be covered, but they weren't. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast waitstaff almost non-existent.

Rooms decent, but bathroom poorly designed so anyone using the sink blocked the door shut. Minimal toiletries; yucky shampoo and conditioner. Safe worked, but sliding doors on the closet/shelves didn't. A/C blew right on the bed, making it very uncomfortable.

Breakfast buffet was limited but ok. Biggest problem was this hotel was a $10+ taxi/uber from town where the decent restaurants were located. So, dinner each night was a bigger hassle than we had hoped.

Overall, decent place, but the claim of "rain forest" location didn't provide any critters, just distance from the town. Next time we'd pick a place in town, or within walking distance.

Stayed November 2025 on a tour of South America. Definitely the worst hotel in our 3 week tour.
Please don’t believe there photos stay elsewhere
Grubby and definitely showing it’s age, the bathroom I would say is overdue a refurbish there is mould along various edges
Dirty curtains and bed mattresses
Unfriendly unwelcoming staff
Set of strange house rules making it even more unwelcoming
Restaurant food extremely average
Pool could have benefited from a daily clean
Pool seems to be used by locals or staff’s children late afternoon ( definitely not guests as never appeared at breakfast or dinner times) so very noisy
Obviously don’t rely on return customers hence the lack of effort from staff and the blind eye to a update refurbish of rooms

We stayed here for a trip to see the Falls and found the hotel to be a peaceful retreat in the rainforest setting. Our room was spacious and set a few minutes walk away up a flight of stairs (no lift) away from the central area of pool/bar/restaurant. The pool area was lovely and the bar good for a beer or cocktail; the restaurant is large, family-friendly and served good food. We didn’t find it unduly expensive, but we’re used to London prices! Drinking water dispenser in reception a good touch. Be aware you aren’t allowed to bring in your own food and drink here, unlike most Argentinian hotels.

Great location for visiting the Falls. The room was comfortable - temperature was good, it was clean and had what we needed. My biggest complaint was the door. The electronic card reader was difficult to use, took several attempts to get into the room you had to make sure the lock was engaged properly for it to unlock. Extemely frustrating. Our stay included breakfast. It was good enough. Lunch & dinner were okay, menu seems a little limited and would tire of it quickly if we had stayed longer than 2 nights. The Lodge grounds were well kept and perfect for privacy. Great view of the jungle from the rooms.

Website is very attractive but the reality is little more than a backpackers hostel, Bedrooms (think Travelodge) have little sound insulation so able to hear from all neighbours. Pool and bar areas shabby to say the least. Staff, however, are friendly and helpful and food in the restaurant was better than expected.

We stayed here for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. All the rooms are surround by lush greenery which is beautiful, the rooms are clean and ours was spacious with a lovely terrace looking out to the forest. The pool area is lovely, a great place to relax, again surrounded by greenery.
The restaurant was very good with a good selection and not that expensive as some reviews have said.
All the staff were very helpful and eager to please. All in all a great place to stay

My boyfriend said this shower was THE BEST he’s ever taken! We loved our room! Stayed at the Ava room and each unit was private and very spacious, especially the bathroom. The breakfast options were pretty good. The diners were very good and well priced. We had cocktails and fries one of the days and we enjoyed both. We would definitely stay here again! Waking up to birds singing in the morning was enjoyable.

As always the place is top notch. We have been many times and will return again.

Restaurant good, rooms old and with a bad smell, cleanliness not even average. Many leaves in the pool and on the paths that lead to the rooms. On the whole: I would not recommend the resort. It could be a paradise but it needs to be renovated and is a bit scruffy.

A separate pool for adults would be great. Both pools are currently next to each other around the bar, not a great experience for adults wanting to relax and disconnect but great for families that take over the entire area

Very happy with the stay. Having read other reviews before coming I’d agree with most of them. The rooms are comfortable, quite basic but everything there that’s needed - clean and comfortable. The lodges are arranged in the reserve with a nice walkway around the reserve. The bar area is nice enough and the resturant food was nice when we eat there on the first evening after arriving too late to go into Iguazu. Taxi into Puerto Iguazu easy to arrange - 10,000 pesos by Uber. puerto Iguazu is a very lively town with plenty of bars and resturants. We used the taxi supplier advertised by the hotel - Tierra Nativa - I reccommend them highly for your transfers to the falls - both on the Argentinian and Brazilian side. Our driver for the Brazilian side made passport control very easy. The hotel made our late flight out of Puerto Iguazu very easy, we kept our luggage there during the day and were able to use the facilities by the pool to prepare for the flight and wait for the transfer. Muchas gracias.

Hotel was amazing. In the middle of the jungle. The rooms were big and the staff very friendly. 100% recommended

It’s pleasant and comfortable, a good base to explore Iguazú noting it’s a short taxi ride into town. We didn’t spend much time in the hotel as we were too busy exploring.

Breakfast was good, evening meals okay. The pool area is nice but I didn’t like the bar much as it wasn’t tidy. Room was good.

A good value option for exploring the area!

Great place to stay

Pictures on the Expedia site are of a newer building they have built on the property. We were put in cabins out back that needed renovation. Dinning hall was new and renovated Ms breakfast options were descent. Staff was helpful with our bags however the early check in was not available on any of our 3 rooms that we had booked. Didn’t get the Expedia VIP beverages or early/late checkins for members. Staff was friendly

Room smell terrible. Front desk did not allow us to stay 15 extra minutes. Breakfast very basic. Since it is a lodge, it should has coffee maker. A lot of mosquitos and insects on the bed. Very expensive for drink and dine.

Room was not ready. It was ok we came early than checking in. Room was nice but smelled terrible. Floor extremely slippery. My husband fell in the bathroom. Next day no towels at 4 pm. Breakfast opened at 7am. Very old coffee in the lobby.
Location was nice. We could not stay past 10 am.
