Great value with excellent service!

Really enjoyed my stay. The staff at reception were attentive. They answered all my questions, helped me organize transfers, and gave good instructions to the property. One of the guys helped us with our cases. It was just me and my husband, but there was plenty of room in the cabana if you have a family as it also had a trundle bed, pool and playground onsite. You can pull right outside of your cabana if you have a car, but we elected with the price of rental cars to just get taxis everywhere. Kitchen had everything needed to cook meals. The unit is dated, but comfortable and clean.

Bom custo-beneficio, mas precisa melhorar pontos

Os travesseiros são bem ruins, as toalhas velhas e o banheiro precisa ser atualizado. De resto, tudo incrível, excelente custo-beneficio

Fraco!

Banheiro velho e imundo, cheirando urina. Travesseiros sem fronha. Toalhas velhas. Água quente e ar condicionado funcionando. Área externa muito boa para crianças. Atendentes atenciosos e educados.

Very friendly and helpful, a relaxing stay

We stayed only a few days, but found the reception staff to be very helpful when trying to resolve issues with tours and transport. The cabins were exactly as they seemed to be from the photos, and there were no surprise charges or any problems. Although we brought our own food, we discovered that basic supplies were available for sale in the reception, at very reasonable prices, which was a bonus.The playground, pool, and quincho were perfect for travellers with children, as were the friendly cat and ducks wandering around.

Complexe de cabane très sympa. Proche de l'entrée des chutes mais il est tout de même nécessaire de prendre le bus pour s'y rendre Pas de petit déjeuner sauf des craquettes et de la confiture fourni dans la cabane.

No recomiendo las cabañas e Mensu en Puerto Iguazu

Las cabañas de mensu engañan por la web ya que muestras en la pagina las 4 cabañas premium con todos los lujos. pero luego te hospedan en cabañas viejas , rotas y sucias. ademas no solucionan en tiempo problemas simples como es el pago u otras cosas. el precio acordado fue deferente al que luego tuve que pagar.

Lindo lugar, hermoso parque, cabañas cómodas

Antes que nada algo sobre la ciudad de Iguazú. Poco amigable, carísimo todo, fea. La sensación es que están todo el tiempo intentando meterte la mano en el bolsillo, pero mal. Lleno de negocios de artesanías feas. Restaurantes malísimos. Pero bueno, si quieres ir a las cataratas, que son una maravilla, tienes que pasar por aquí. Las cabañas están buenas. Están en un predio con un parque hermoso con juegos y gimnasio al aire libre, y una linda pileta. Son simples pero limpias. Está bueno el lugar. El acceso es por una calle que está destruida. Bueno eso es parte de la horrible ciudad.

Girl's Camp Revisited

These cabanas are great for families! Beautiful property. The staff was kind enough but it would have been helpful to have multi-lingual staff as only one of our family members is fluent in Spanish. The only complaint was the hotel amenities list daily housekeeping which is not true. They gave us 5 towels (one per guest) at check-in and told us if we wanted clean ones to bring them back to the front desk and they would give us new ones. They told us they do not clean the room until we check out. Also, this property is down a very bumpy dirt road so beware if renting a car.

Voir les chutes d'Iguazu !

Bien situé juste à l'entrée d'Iguazu. Plus près pour se rendre aux chutes. On a fait affaire avec Iguassu Service pour nos déplacements. Daniel et Jaime sont de vrai professionnels et notre groupe de 15 personnes a bien apprécié. Des chutes à faire rêver.
