Iberostar Selection Paraíso Lindo

We had a wonderful time and wedding here!! The wedding planner, photographer at Novia Mia Photography and the florist were all amazing!! We went to the disco after the wedding and had a blast! Food was great and service and shows were awesome! My only downside was no steamer for my dress and the only option they had was 300 usd to get it cleaned.

simple room, but soooo roomy!! Space for 3 lg bags and a cot! The bath had lots of counter space. It was a 15 min walk to am buffet. Loved the fresh air & long walks together, plus we needed the steps! Beautiful grounds and kept impeccably clean. Kids club was great!

We are checking out as I write this review. I just don't want to miss the feelings of gratitude our family experienced during our 7-day visit. We came to Paraiso Lindo as a birthday trip for my daughter and I, and we are so happy we came here! The reviews I read before choosing this hotel were very useful. The best asset of the resort is the staff, hands down. Always welcoming and friendly, and some really go above and beyond, like Yoania, who was super professional and took care of our comments regarding our birthday expectations and celiac food needs for my daughter right away! She ensured my daughter's favorite cookies were always available and coordinated a birthday cake that day at dinner time! She is an asset to the management of the hotel and Iberostar. Gracias, Yoania and we hope our cross road again! We also appreciated the service of the restaurant staff, especially Itzel, who made my daughter's daily dinner/lunch times extra special, guaranteeing GF needs like rice, meat, fish and fries were prepared separately and nothing was cross-contaminated. Itzel your smiles resignate with us and we hope to see you again! Genaro, the waiter was also fantastic. He has the most humble smile and welcomed us like family every time we were in his section. The entertainment was lovely, we just wished there were more dance lessons! They host great quality shows and my favorite was Corazon Rumbero. This is a pro company and a great addition to the variety they offer. As for other highlights, the celebration of Independence Day was the best... and we have experienced quite a few accross Mexican resorts. One suggestion to mgt is to add some extra touches for guests celebrating birthdays. I was told we had to pay extra and was surprised as in Riu resorts or other chains they make this a big deal and make you feel really special by decorating the room differently, adding a simple card, or leaving a small tequila bottle as a show of appreciation for choosing their hotel over so many others. Overall, we had a great experince and we will definitely come back!

This resort was great for my 10 and 13 year old, but was solidly average for my husband and I. Pros: -Entertainment team did a very nice job during the day at the pool to interact with the crowd. My children were not interested in the children’s club but it looked like they were very active and enjoyed by all. -Housekeeping arrived every day and was thorough. -There were many water stations filling stations available. -My son got stung by a jellyfish and the lifeguard was very reactive-spraying him with vinegar. He was able to enjoy the day again quickly after the incident. -The pool is massive and there was never an issue finding a spot either at the pool-basically because if I saw a spot that was held by a towel only-I removed it and we sat down. Lots of saving spots at the beach and the pool and people only using one spot. No one ever said anything to us because they knew they were wrong. Cons: -The food was terrible. My children loved the unlimited deserts and found the assortment of food appealing, but it says something when the buffet food is better than the restaurant food. -The coatis are everywhere. They steal off of chairs and plates and are a major nuisance once the cuteness wears off. -The water was very rough while we were there-waves that knocked us off our feet the entire time. While this isn’t a resort issue, it’s the area of the beach issue. -We were constantly hassled on the resort and at the beach to buy things, sign up for lessons, do the spa, etc. It was exhausting. -The fire alarm went off constantly during our stay due to the humidity. -The building we were in was next to the theater and there was no sleeping until at least 12:30 every night due to the constant thumping and music. -We had to request towels and toilet paper multiple times during the week despite having housekeeping each day. -Drinks were typical watered down all inclusive drinks. You have to ask for specific alcohol to receive anything but rail. Their soda water tastes like sewage. -Watch even your great swimmers in the foam party-they can be taken under the mass of people quickly. Was it a decent AI for our kid’s first experience with one? Sure. But we would never take them back.

Great hotel. We had Justo as our waiter and he was 10/10. Very knowledgeable and showed us the best of what Mexico had to offer regarding food and drink could not recommend him more!

Erick from the club got us a reservation when no one else could help!! Making sure we experienced everything we wanted too!
