Mabu Thermas Grand Resort

I really liked Mabu but I did not love it. I paid the breakfast lunch and dinner package but still had to pay for drinks separately which I did not like. The location is a great you are near pretty much everything if you want to leave the hotel and do stuff outside. Overall it is a great hotel though! Very beautiful place.

We stayed for 7 days in late August so we got a good sense of how this hotel operates during shoulder season. Check in was speedy. We got wrist bands as keys which is really much nicer than a key card and you don’t lose it. We paid for half board, buffet breakfast and dinner. The food is average. It isn’t top quality, but what saves it is the variety. For example, every night the chicken and meat dishes were dry, but the soup and salad offering gave you options of higher quality. The arroz con leche was delicious. Drinks are not included so if you only drink water o suggest bring your own. Even during low season the hotel is 80% families with small children. They even offer babysitting services so this must be a haven for parents. For a couple traveling though it wasn’t as quiet and relaxing as we would hope. The pools and buffet always had kids running around. The hallways too, so sleep with white noise on. We knew this is what the hotel goes for after reading other reviews so no complaints, that’s just how it is. I got one message during my stay and it was very mediocre. Therapist’s hands were dry and technique very average. Overall though, we had a good experience. The beds were very comfortable, the food abundant, and the pools very nice. The location is excellent as it’s super close to the Argentina border so going to Iguazú on that side is easy. There is a mall right in front of the hotel, very easy to walk to, for shopping and lunch.

This is hotel is very family friendly. Wonderful and outstanding pools - there are a lot of them, along with play areas by the water. Wonderful Buffet Style breakfasts and dinners. Lots of Excellent juices and fruit. The scrambled eggs were good. The rooms had air conditioning, so be prepared to be cold in your room. The beds were comfortable. There are lots of young people here, so if you want a more relaxing hotel, perhaps find another hotel. We were given plastic bracellets to wear so We could charge out purchases to the room. Friendly staff.

The experience is worth it, since we have arrived they employees have received us in a very good mood and attention. The food is good all around the restaurants they have in the building.|Their place for conferences is very well build as well, everything good about this, we're e gonna get back soon.|Special thanks for Roseli Patricia and Rogerio.

The hotel is absolutely amazing. Many and different kind of pools, including a pool with waves and an area with sand, exactly like a beach. It was so much fun! The breakfast was also unbelievable, so many options of everything. And the staff was helpful and nice, going beyond and above to fulfill our requests. At the reception, Lucimari was an angel, presenting us with many options and offering assistance we didn’t even we needed. Great team, great place, I am leaving already thinking about my next trip here.

We stayed here for 3 nights with our 5 year old. Overall an average hotel in a good location for visiting the Falls and nearby area.||Hotel is a large resort, very family orientated. In a great location, 15 mins drive to the National park entrance to visit the falls (one of the best experiences of my life) and opposite a shopping mall, which had a huge variety of food options. We eat here for lunch and also a dinner. Lots of major brands like BK and McDonald’s also which is handy. ||Overall rating of the hotel is based on a few aspects. Firstly cleanliness. Rooms were basic (as expected) but were quite worn (skirting board was hanging off in places) and the cleanliness of the swimming pool needs large improvement. It was clear from the grease and dirt build up during our stay as a lot of people were slipping over that the pools had not been cleaned in a long time. This urgently needs doing to improve standards, especially as a family hotel. On the plus side our son absolutely loved the pools (unfortunately the additional water park attached wasn’t open during our stay and when it was was limited to older kids rides which was disappointing)||Overall breakfast buffet was adequate. Basic food options but so many people. Again unfortunately there was a conference being held during our stay where there were around 300 additional guests so the hotel felt very loud and chaotic at times.||Customer service was ok but could be improved. Check in was quick but very limited info provided. We were left to work it out for ourselves due to the language barrier (totally no expectation that the staff should speak English, but maybe a map would be nice) ||Overall it was fine for the purpose of our trip. If you are looking for a quiet and Luxurious hotel then this is not for you. With improvements this could be a great family destination. Served a purpose as we were there purely for Iguazu falls.

We arrived tonight. There was a corporate party blasting music at absurd levels until at least 10.30 at night (for who knows how long, it's still going). At a family hotel? The music is so incredibly loud, its not conceivable to sleep for adults, much less young kids. Completely unacceptable for a family hotel.

Pros: - Beautiful grounds. Tropical feel, many pools (natural water), excellent breakfast included (extensive buffet and even made-to-order omelet-type dish). - daycare center, small game room, pool tables - love the showers in the Brazil hotels I've been to; no exception here. Water POURS like Iguacu Falls! Feels so great! Cons: - hotel room itself is not what I expect for a 5-star hotel. Similar to getting a 4-star Sheraton or Marriott via Hotwire in the US. - no adapter outlets. Hotel will provide one for R$10.00. Not too bad, but the 5-star hotel in Rio had a built-in adapter outlet in the room.
