Iguaçu Falls hotel

When my friend Mike and I visited Iguaçu Falls in fall 2009, we stayed at Hotel Del Rey (Rua Tarobá 1020, CEP 85851-220, Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil; phone [45] 2105-7500, www.hoteldelreyfoz.com.br).

I had reserved an air-conditioned room with three beds (originally, we planned to travel with another friend) for BRL150 (about $85) per night, which included an abundant breakfast.

We took advantage of their online offer to arrange a transfer from the airport to the hotel for $35 for up to three passengers, payable directly to the driver at the time of transfer. Even though our flight arrived about an hour later than scheduled, when we exited the luggage claim area, there was our driver waiting for us.

We were delighted with the hotel. The desk clerks all spoke excellent English and were very helpful.
