Where? Within walking distance of the stunning Iguazu Falls, part of the Iguazu National Park, in the Argentinian rainforest. The hotel is perfect for those who enjoy being at one with nature ... but prefer their plumbing indoors and their meals delivered by room service. Guests can lounge poolside and hear the gushing of millions of litres of water behind them.
Luxurious or basic? Upmarket without being over the top. The 176 rooms and four suites are spacious and contem-porary, offering mini-bars, internet access and private balconies with outstanding views. Beds are king-sized, and buffet breakfasts for two are usually included in packages.
Who should visit? Fairly adventurous types who would rather forego the extreme-sports vacation for one that doesn't require a supplement to the life-insurance premium. Families with young children need not be deterred though: the hotel has a kids' club and a kids' camp.
What's on the menu? The main restaurant is the Garganta del Diablo, which offers international cuisine. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres are served at the Lobby Bar, while dinner at Oasis, which offers unparalleled views of the falls, is the perfect way to end the day.
What else is there to do? Play a round at the Iguazu Golf Club, or hike along the lush Macuco Trail. The ominous-sounding Devil's Gorge is another fun place to enjoy nature, while a nearby casino provides the kind of glamour often associated with South American vacations. Day-trippers might be inclined to make the 250km journey to the historic Jesuit Ruins. Iguazu National Park provides handy observation towers for those who would rather gaze from on high at the ancient trees, medicine plants, orchids and butterflies. You can sign up for a jungle visit to watch toucans nesting at sunset.
