Hotel ACA Eldorado
Pool and garden stop on Esperanza street, 87 km from the falls
About this hotel
The pool does the heavy lifting at Hotel ACA Eldorado: a seasonal outdoor pool sits in a lush garden a short walk from the shops and restaurants around Esperanza and San Luis streets, giving travellers a place to unwind after the Ruta 12 drive rather than just a bed to sleep in. Rooms come with air conditioning, private bathrooms, a TV and free WiFi, and the property adds a fitness centre and a public bath beyond the standard amenity list, plus a bar for the evening. Breakfast runs continental, American or buffet, and with 150 reviews behind an 8.2 rating, it's the more established of Eldorado's small hotel scene. At roughly 87 kilometres from Cataratas del Iguazu International Airport, it works well as a stopover for travellers driving the falls route.

- Free private parking
- Continental, American or buffet breakfast
Our take
This suits travellers who want a working stopover on the Ruta 12 corridor with an actual pool to show for it, rather than a plain roadside motel. Families and couples breaking up a long drive get the most from the garden and pool combination, and the fitness centre is a genuine extra most Eldorado hotels don't offer. Travellers hoping for spa treatments or a resort-level programme should look elsewhere, since the amenities here stay practical rather than indulgent.
- Ask for a room away from the bar side if you want a quiet night, evenings can carry some noise from downstairs.
- Use the fitness centre early morning or late evening, it's small and gets shared with other guests during the day.
- Confirm your breakfast style preference, continental, American and buffet options rotate rather than all being available daily.
Why we love it
- A real seasonal pool, not just a garden to look at
- Fitness centre and public bath beyond the basics
- Walking distance to Esperanza and San Luis street shops
- Free private parking with 150 reviews behind an 8.2 score
Why guests love itEditorially, this is the pick for families breaking up the Ruta 12 drive: the seasonal pool and garden give kids room to run before dinner, and the fitness centre is a rare extra at this end of Misiones. The public bath and bar add options for the adults once the kids are settled. It reads less like a polished family resort and more like a reliable, well-run stop that happens to have a pool worth using.
