Las Orquideas Parque Hotel

While Cuidad del Este is off the beaten path for Americans, this ended up being our favorite hotel of our Paraguayan vacation. We came to Ciudad del Este to see the nearby falls in Argentina. My wife and I liked this hotel. Its Continental charm and beautiful garden made it an excellent oasis from the craziness of Cuidad del Este. The neighborhood is good; the hotel is gated; and my wife felt secure. The breakfast was very good. One member of the staff spoke English well and helped us plan our trip to the Argentine side of Iguazu Falls, using the ferry, on which we transported our car. The kids enjoyed the small playground on the property (there is a nice park around the corner from the Hotel, with a much larger playground), but most of all they liked playing with the Hotel's small dog, 'Coto', who enjoyed playing fetch with a small lime. Our rooms were of good size, very clean, and tastefully decorated.
