This review is based on a one night stay to visit Iguazu National Park. The check in was fine, not overly welcoming but not rude either. The room was very nice and clean, tastefully decorated with a balcony. I highly recommend paying that little bit more for a room that provides a view over Las Tres Fronteras, as this (for me) was a once in a lifetime opportunity and to stand on the balcony looking over the pool area and beyond to Brazil on the right and Paraguay on the left was a big highlight of my two weeks in Argentina. The bathroom was rather small in comparison, and the water that ran from the taps was a rusty brown colour. Having spent the afternoon of day one at the poolside, I really needed to bathe and that wasn’t a pleasant experience in murky water. The Tres Fronteras monument is just around the corner, which is worth the short stroll. There’s a few souvenir and snack shops, and lots of locals sitting drinking mate, carrying their flasks and gourds - an authentic Argentine moment! This is also where you get the bus to the national park, and one good reason for choosing Amerian Portal Del Iguazu is this bus stop is where the service begins, and by the time the bus reached the town centre it was jam packed with tourists. It’s a long journey to the park so a bus seat is the best way to start the day. I chose to eat dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Great value for dinner, and ok hotel food, nothing to write home about. The breakfast was better, with lots of options. Overall, a 4 star hotel. It definitely isn’t a 5 star rating. One final tip, take mosquito protection with you. I had some really bad bites from the pool area that needed attention when I returned to Buenos Aires. Ouch!
