Great spacious rooms, clean, cool and comfortable beds! It’s fantastic jungle experience (vs staying in the town). Great pool and lovely staff ! I was impressed for what seems to be a very reasonable / cheap price.

Surprised when our car stopped at the reception room, this nothing like the photos online. This hotel was not what I expected after viewing the photos, very disappointed. There is a "lobby" in a room next to door to wait for tour pickup, just chairs and a/c, they really need to have a restroom otherwise you have to go all the way back to your room or to the restaurant, which is not close at all. There was a huge spider in my pillow and an ant nest on the ceiling, something at night would leave poo droppings on the nightstands. Room service is only available to order at 7pm and the shortest wait time was 45 minutes. The plus to staying here was the food was so delicious. The only way to contact the reception desk is through the whatsapp app. Twice not all of our room service was brought to our room and when I used the app to let them know, it was ignored; they never answered after many messages to them and we did not get our missing food items.

We loved that the hotel was built into a jungle like area with low catwalks to get to the rooms. The vegetation was lush. The pool, the bar and the restaurant were the center of the property. They have a regular pool and a cold pool- which was welcome in 90 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. There were probably not enough chaise lounges in the shade. There were nice bar stools overlooking the pool for a drink and for lunch. We ate New Year’s Eve dinner and two lunches at the restaurant. The lunches were excellent and the food was good. At dinner , service was quite slow. The lobby for check in is quite small and the process takes some time but the hotel is very nice. There are no telephones in the rooms so you must rely on WhatsApp. The WiFi was good . You sign on in the lobby with a QR code. The hotel is about 20 minutes from the Falls. The hotel is well known so there is no problem in scheduling tours or transfers to and from the airport. I highly recommend seeing Iguazú Falls. All in all this hotel was a good choice for us.

The hotel is located inside a jungle reserve, so better rent a car or have lots of cash for taxis. WiFi did not work most of the time. Be prepared to see bugs, spiders, or small centipedes inside your room, they’re mostly harmless. This place is surrounded by nature, so if you do not enjoy this, I suggest looking for alternatives. Limited options for dining and having food, and it’s far from the main town.

We arrived at 2:51 and would not let us check in until 3:00pm. 9 minutes early., so you are forced to wait outside with no AC or inside the tiny reception area that is no more than 150 square feet , The rooms are very nice if you book a mini suite other ways the standard rooms are very very small., there is only one restaurant in the property and a small pool area., it was a shock to arrive to the middle of nowhere ., there are not many amenities in the hotel., the staff are pleasant., but we would not return., rather stay on a more traditional hotel stay with AC recreation areas

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.

Great place to stay in Puerto Iguazu, strategically located to visit the falls. You will need a car though... Excellent breakfast. We found going out disappointing to eat dinner, but the hotel has a good restaurant with reasonable prices. We loved the way they cooked our "pacu" river fish.

It was overall a great stay at Virgin Lodge except for the experience we had with the massage. The lady who came for massage did a horrible job. We have never had such a bad massage experience before. Though this person is not an employee for the hotel, they should contract a better masseuse. Part from this, we had a great experience staying at the hotel with great service and very courteous staff.

This hotel is rundown
Don't let the pictures fool you - this hotel is rundown and in need of some serious repairs. Our room could have used a good scrub (brown bathtub) and it smelled like they pumped a sweet mango scent into the rooms all day long. The pool tiles are half off, the pool chairs have exposed rusty bits on them - and the restaurant has a strange and unusual smell so we chose to go out to eat. We planned to stay two nights and *paid extra* to move hotels the second night.

The location of this property is so serene in the jungle. Our room was beautiful and had a perfect view from the hammock of the jungle. Loved the front desk staff, very friendly and helpful with suggestions of the places to eat and things to do (and they all spoke English which was helpful too). The offerings of bike tours and nature hikes was a nice addition to your stay as well. The hotel uses the what’s app to communicate with any question you have or reservation you need and that was amazing to have access to the hotel staff 24/7. Will definitely be back!
