For travel during holiday/peak windows (New Year, mid-February Carnival, national holidays and some November/December spikes) book 2–4 months in advance; for low-season midweek stays you can often book 1–6 weeks ahead. If your dates are flexible, choose Sunday–Thursday nights and avoid known peaks (early January, mid-February, early December and selected November/January weekends). Consider nonrefundable prepaid rates only if your plans are fixed; otherwise use flexible/cancellable rates and price-tracking to rebook if the rate drops.
Guest Reviews
Guest Tips & Highlights
What can we say that hasn't already been said about this phenomenal property! This is truly a gem in the crown of all the Belmond Hotels that we have had the pleasure of staying at around the world. Everything was perfectly on point - and indeed it exceeded all our expectations. Our room was gorgeous, with a wonderful view over the falls, and of course, the breakfast was spectacular. From the hotel pick up, to the early morning guided walks to the falls, and the evening glass of champagne to toast the sunset - will truly remain an indelible memory. I need to mention that the evening hotel staff assisted us so quickly and diligently when my sister sustained an injury. Everyone took incredibly good care of us. Heartfelt thank you to Ricardo Bexiga, Hotel Manager for his wonderful care and concern.
Over the top service, quality of food and everything !!
