It was several years ago but I thoroughly enjoyed my 3 days at the Ariau Jungle Hotel. I spent 2 nights and 3 days at the hotel out of Manaus, Everything was great. The open air rooms with the monkeys.the piranna fishing were great.

When Ariau Towers was built in the 1980's, it must have been a special place--- built on pilings with walkways connecting buildings through the forest. Some people still come because of the reputation, the location, and the slick, but totally misleading, web site. Nothing has been done to maintain this place in years. Most of it is closed. The wooden... More

We recently went to the Amazon and stayed at the Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel. It was more than we ever expected it would be!! Being in the Amazon, we didn't want to stay at some swanky big city-looking resort that didn't fit the look and feel of the jungle. We were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived, at how well...

Ariau Towers Jungle Lodge must have been quite wonderful when it was built in the late 1980s by a proprietor influenced by Jacques Cousteau. The original craftsmanship of the structures built on stilts was of high quality, with impressively finished woodwork and doors carved and painted with images of Amazon flora and fauna. Of the 6-8 kilometers of catwalks through... More

Sub-standard in every way! Can't believe we paid over US$1000 for a dirty room and an unkempt property. We lived on Doritos and chocolate that we luckily had brought with us - you'll know why once you visit the canteen where the meals are served. What a total disappointment!

We went purely by Internet reviews and a super responsive agent based out of the United States to answer all our questions promptly! The best part starts and ends here: -this property is old and has been affected by the flood pretty bad- little to no repair work seems to have gone into the place. -not only did we not... More

We just returned from a 4day visit to Ariau Amazon Towers in Brazil. While the staff and locale were both wonderful, the hotel, itself, is in serious disrepair. The resort was built in the 1980's (not ten years ago as mentioned by another visitor) and is made almost exclusively of wood. According to several staff members, there have been no... More

Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel is around a decade old. It is a very touristy experience and is quite family orientated. If you are after the ultimate Amazon experience, this probably is not for you. If, however, you'd like a taste of the Amazon, the it is fine, in all honesty. Ok, the room we stayed in, high atop a tree,... More

My wife and I just returned from a fantastic trip to the Amazon, where we stayed at Ariau Amazon Towers. Bear in mind, this is not a five star resort with all the attendant luxuries, so if you book a trip here, don't expect the Four Seasons. It is, however, a charming complex built in an ecologically safe manner in... More
