La Cantera Lodge de Selva

We stayed at the lodge for 3 nights with our two kids to visit Iguazu falls in December 2023. The pictures shown on hotels.com is not representative for the reality. The rooms are simple, they smell mould and there is a lot of mould in the beds. Very simple rooms. What is good is the pool and the pool area and the restaurant is OK. We would not stay at this lodge again at our next visit.

This is definitely more of a lodge than a resort. It is in a remote area (not unexpected) and the rooms are small cabins. The lock to the sliding door did not lock - which was a bit disconcerting. Our room was not ready upon arrival (also not too concerning because we arrived at 12:00 and check-in was not until 3:00). They showed us to the dining area and said they would let us know when the rooms were ready. At 3:00 we finally went back to check only to discover that our rooms were ready but because we were not using WhatsApp they gave up on contacting us rather than walking to the dining room and letting us know. Overall it was an average facility in a lovely remote area with service that was not horrible but was definitely a little disappointing. On a potentially positive note, I will say that if you have young kids, it is definitely “kid friendly” - we did not have kids! The most enjoyable person on the staff was a Guarani young man who worked at the hotel and gave us a very nice and informative tour of the local community. He was wonderful.

Hotel has a really nice location - in the middle of the jungle. Our room was a bit out of date, not refurbished fir awhile and the bathroom was ok, but the bath needed a refurbishment as well as the room. Pool has an amazing view but the hotel was full of families when we were there so the kids occupied the swimming pool. The dinner was very nice (steak), breakfast was
