Well-located hotel with a huge pool and a rustic look inspired by traditional Brazilian ranches.

Sanma has a great location just outside Iguaçu National Park and only 2km from the airport. Formerly the Hotel San Martin (our most popular mid-range choice in the area) the hotel has been upgraded and in recent years. There is a huge swimming pool with a children's area, Jacuzzi and sauna.

Aside from visiting the falls, there are nature-focused activities to enjoy in the surrounding area, including woodland walks in the hotel grounds to the nearby river. Also within easy reach is the Bird Park, where you can see a plethora of tropical birds at close hand.

What our clients say

97% of our clients rated their experience with us as Excellent or Good.

  • This hotel fits the bill for people visiting the falls. Excellent location but it is a typical tourist hotel. Beautiful pool and gardens

    JH Dorking

  • Beautiful

    "Beautiful grounds and gardens, comfortable rooms. Food a bit boring (though the menu offered some amusing dishes!)

    PM, Stamford Brook

  • Super

    "The location of San Martin was ideal. The grounds were super.”

    RB, Cardiff

  • Really enjoyed our stay here, very close to the Brazilian Falls National park site entrance. Lovely grounds & walking route, also swimming pool & bar service

    CL High Wycombe

  • Really good location for visiting the Falls. And grounds good to walk in.  Hotel could have made dinner/buffet arrangements clearer. Internet shaky. Trip information should make it clear there is a charge for the spa.

    MW, Exeter

  • "Location was great next to parc de aves and near the falls."

    JS, Huddersfield

  • Lovely hotel just re painted. Nice food.

    VS, Bicester

  • Excellent location but disappointing food and service.

    SC, Cheltenham

  • Great situation. Important to have a decent dining room as there are no restaurants in the area. Good for families as there is a games room and facilities outdoors such as a football pitch, pool, obstacle course and forest walk.

    MH, Manchester

  • "Again very well positioned with very good facilities. A lovely pool. We would have liked to have gone on one of the walks they arranged but we were too busy enjoying the falls and visiting the bird sanctuary. We also had a meal out where they were doing a show."

    VM, Shoreham-by-Sea
