This hotel has a nice lobby but the receptionists were very robotic, 2 beautiful swimming pools, a hot tub in the beautiful orchids garden with an almost clean fitness center on the 2nd floor. This hotel is very far from town, there is no reasonable restaurants or other shops around the hotel. The only restaurant in the hotel opens for... more

This hotel is well away from the Falls - which are spectacular and unforgettable - I would think about half an hour's ride, in fact. If I were visiting again, I would certainly choose another hotel, as this is pretty well worn. The bathrooms are grim and the rooms are small and a bit 'damp' smelling - in fact our... more

The hotel itself was very nice. The included breakfast buffet was wonderful. The dinner buffet was also good. The first night we ordered from the menu and it was awful. The hotel also only has two levels of tour. One is to use the local bus system and do it yourself. The other is expensive, to rent a car and... more

I stayed at this Hotel when I was studying abroad in Brazil. I visited many places when I was there...Rio de Janerio, Sao Paulo, Botucatu, Recife, Ponta Grossa...etc...and this was the most memorable hotel I stayed in. I loved it. The staff was friendly and helpful. My room was absolutely wonderful. A lot nicer than the pictures I see posted... more

Our tour group stayed at the Rafain Palace when we visited Iguasu Falls. The hotel has a beautiful lobby, attractive oudoor lounging areas and a medium-sized swimming pool. Free coffee and tea are available in the lobby and entrance to the dining room at all times, along with tiny cups. The coffee came with or without sugar, but all the... more

I stayed at this hotel for 12 days in February 2006. There are several reasons to stay here. This hotel is spotless. The Security is great, The Breakfast buffet in the morning is FREE and not the usual "continental" breakfast -- a very large selection to choose from. At the pool you can relax and watch the Toucan birds feed... more

Great hotel! We spent there 3 days before Christmas Holidays. Our room was a good sized room for 3 persons, looking to the pools, without balcony. There is a good restaurant in the hotel, where you can have your meals for acceptable prices. You can choose from lots of fine foods or you can choose the menu – for fix... more

The Rafain is situated outside of Foz, with the city in between it and the Falls. This is the main drawback to the hotel – its location. We took a local bus to the bird sanctuary without any problems. We could have also returned to the Falls on local bus – it is cheap, clean and safe during the day.... more

We spent two nights at the Rafain Palace in late May 2006. The hotel is excellent, with very helpful staff, clean accommodation, great amenities and good food. The price was right and included a good buffet breakfast. Due to the time of year we did not use the amenities (swimming pools, jacuzzi, volleyball & even a soccer field) There is... more
