We have gone to this resort 8 times now, and would rate it very good. They have installed a floating barrier well off the beach which keeps most of the sargassum weed from coming ashore. Also, since last year, the coati population is much lower, and they have put simple locks on the garbage cans to try to keep the animals out, but they are smart enough to defeat the locks. Good try, but better locks would help a lot more. Also, they need to have more highly visible signs to discourage people from feeding them.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. I thought their entertainment at the pool was really fun. The food was delicious. The pool setup was very nice. All the different pools. Lots of chairs. If we wanted to suggest anything we would say absolutely nothing. It was all wonderful.

The iberostar hotel complex is extremely large and offers a variety of dining options, activities, and leisure. The golf course is well groomed and challenging. The shotgun start is ideal for everyone to play in the morning. The hotel rooms were large, clean with portions remodeled. Specialty restaurants, lack some authenticity in the food that they prepared. Overall, the iberostar is definitely a destination choice.

Our family (2 adults, 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son) stayed at the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo in early March 2026. We had an amazing time and loved the resort. Vibrant pool scene, kids loved the water slides and we spent hours in the lazy river. We also enjoyed just walking around the complex, there’s a lot to see. The food was good overall, good selection and availability (seemed to be food and a bar around every corner in the afternoons). The room was fine, not super fancy but very clean and functional. Entertainment was the best I’ve seen with live singers and not just lip syncing like you see at some other resorts. We are already planning our return!

Very nice hotel, good variety of foods , clean pools, very nice and helpful stuff. Special thanks to Derrick from agent support. We spent 5 nights we will return back for sure. Greetings from Canada ??

The resort was amazing right from the start. We were a party of 12, ages from 7 to 67 years old. Everyone found things they liked to do. Everyone was a fan. We would definitely recommend this resort.

There was so much to do at the resort! We could either choose to relax or join in on the many activities offered. The resort is very clean and we always felt safe no matter where we were on the resort - Extremely kid friendly! The staff are amazing- so friendly and helpful! We would definitely travel back! ?

After staying in several different all inclusive resorts in Mexico, this is by far our favourite! We will be back! The resort was super accommodating to our family, including infant. The beach was pristine, and they had great activities, suitable for all ages.

I honestly cannot say one bad thing about my stay at the Iberostar. Service was great, and everything in between! All the entertainment, cleanliness, service, I would 100% recommend to anyone :) Had an amazing time!

We had a great time at the Lindo. The resort is massive and contains many pools, restaurants, and things to do. The pools are awesome. There is a wave pool, a lazy river, and water park and slides. We found the ocean to be rough and did not swim in it, but we enjoyed walking on the beach and sand. The food was very good as well. We would return!

Many evening restaurant options. Buffet had an assortment of foods. Really enjoyed the Greek restaurant. Lots of shops available. great 2 double bed room and sister stayed in a king room - both with terraces. Walk in shower amazing. Lots of water play options for my kid however lazy river needs more jets to keep flow. Wish there were snacks in the room and wished for evening swimming

We enjoyed our week at the resort. Some highlights although there were many...the beautiful ocean, sandy bottom, gentle waves, great for being in the sea..(not enough chairs to be had..every day was a struggle that way)...some amazing dining experiences, even the main buffet but i will name Museo, the Japanese Resaurant that you needed reservations for, and the Greek restaurant as being at the top of our list... Easy to walk everywhere...but there were shuttle carts if needed. comfortable rooms especially bed and up to date bathroom so no problems there..liked the emphasis on the environment and less plastic, really appreciated the concierge communication so easily on the App..helped answer the simplest of questions quickly or got us help quickly for the safe, towels, etc...Any questions or needs were answered immediately..pretty impressive. Staff as always were wonderful. We had out last buffet lunch on the day we were leaving which was the last meal we had that day..and suddenly on the plane ride home to Toronto several hours later, i became very sick on the plane..thank heaven for those little white bags in the seat storage..i was very sick for a few days, also in the airport..not nice when there is a lineup in the washroom. I expect something i ate at lunch..small bit of an egg dish..not hot, not cold..everything else was what i had enjoyed every day and had been fine. But inspite of that, i really enjoyed the resort and i would go back.

We recently came back from staying one week at the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo resort in Mexico. It was a great place! The food was good, the grounds and rooms were very well maintained, and the service was impeccable. The app was a great way to get information about activities as well as communicate with guest services. We would highly recommend this resort and can't wait to return!

My longtime friend and I really enjoyed our 9 night stay at Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo in February 2025. Our garden view room was generally comfortable, though the air conditioning did not seem to cool the room sufficiently during the nights. The buildings, grounds and pools were lovely and well maintained. There was a wide variety of architectural styles, making exploring the resort a real design pleasure. We enjoyed being able to swim and dine at three other hotels on the property, which is so expansive there is a shuttle service. The French and fine dining restaurants were excellent; however our steak house experience was disappointing. Sorry to say that we were not able to enjoy swimming in the ocean due to rough seas and winds.

Great food and pools. Beach was very crowded but enjoyable. Restaurants were easy to get a table at. Quality of food at buffet and restaurants was very good. Location was a bit isolated, though everything you need was more or less there.

This is our 4th time back to this resort. In many ways it has improved....still has beautiful grounds , very very eco friendly, clean rooms and good food. Where it has gone down ( in my opinion) is the entertainment. Pool side activities are just ok....staff use to be so much fun and interactive. We love the water aerobics but when it came time , we had to actually find the staff to see if it was going to happen...the guy who ended up running it looked like he didn't want to be there...grumpy. And note to staff...aqua zumba is not aqua aerobics. Also missing is the Mall. It's still there , but all the artisan shops have been replaced with food joints and expensive boutiques. Very disappointing. Might return one day , but not likely. Lovely place , but not for me anymore.

We stayed at Paraiso Lindo hotel a the beginning of December 2024. The room was good, clean and was cleaned every day in a proper way. I could appreciate the food. It was at the next level. All 7 days I enjoyed fish and seafood excellent cooked. And sweets and fruits and everything. 10 out of 10. What was under my expectations was the night entertainment. Almost nothing. And considering you don't have much to do around that's a minus

We just returned back from a wonderful week at the Lindo Hotel, stayed April 14-21st. We went with our two teenagers and had two rooms booked. Since we pay the adult rate for both kids now being 13 and 17, it is the same price to book 2 rooms or 1. We emailed in advance to ask for rooms side by side or adjoining rooms. We were informed via email that the adjoining rooms would be extra and were prepared to pay for them. Our flight with WestJet was uneventful which is perfect and our private transfer with Kalido was wonderful (cost $100 USD return). We waited about 30 minutes for baggage arriving on a Sunday around 1:00pm, customs took no time at all. Upon arrival at the hotel we paid an extra $50 USD per night and received newly renovated family suite rooms in building 54 on the ground floor. I was thrilled as that is exactly what we wanted. The location was perfect and ground floor is my favourite. The resort was busy, they desperately need more bartenders! Only 1 at the swim up bar all week, that guy was so busy all day, every day. Actually only 1 bartender at most of the bars, so there was always a long line up for drinks. Insulated mugs are a must so you don't have to wait in that line too much. Food was incredible. I got most of the restaurant reservations we wanted which I booked right away with the concierge, except one night. I checked the app a few times and a 6pm at Hashiru the Japanese restaurant opened up and we took it. I was not impressed with the buffet, it was just busy all week, no matter what time we went. I guess not enough staff to keep up as the service was slow. The food at the buffet was good, but it was just not an enjoyable meal with so many people in lines and kids running all around the place. We ate at the following: Buffet Dinner first night - it wasn't my thing, so we did not go back for dinner. It was just really really busy so not too enjoyable for us. El Museo Gourmet - it's a new menu now, not a set menu and it was delicious, one of our favourite meals Lemon & Spices - this one was my favourite, I love Greek food Hashiru - we went for the kids, but personally it is the same show at every resort, when it is just my husband and I, we would skip it Under the Sea - service was great, the sculptures are wonderful and the food there was really tasty El Rancho - excellent food, we could just eat that bread all night and be happy Olivetti Italian - this was excellent as well, I had the sea bass with risotto, so good. We participated in activities throughout the week, but mostly kept to ourselves. We had many trips around the lazy river, which yes is lazy but we loved it. Lots of shade in the lazy river, so it was nice to be in there. The wave pool we used, but it is really geared to the young kids, it is just not that deep. The main pool and the waterslides were perfect for our teens. My biggest disappointment was the beach. The beach itself is great, but with red flags every single day, the water was not swimmable. It is really rough water on that whole stretch of resorts, we knew this coming in, and that is why the lazy river and waterslides are a big plus here. We booked one tour through Nexus (Westjet/Sunwing) and decided we will never book with them again. The tour was not as described only visiting 1 coral reef and not 3, they did not provide any snacks or lunch which they said they would, and they did not provide return transportation to the hotel. They left you stranded at their location so you could spend more money on food and drinks and souvenirs. Next time, I would book a tour through a private company like Kalido. Overall the week was exceptional, it was our third trip to this complex, first two times we stayed at Maya. Staying at the Lindo, I did not feel as though I missed a thing, it was perfect. We stayed at the Maya previously as there were 4 of us in 1 room and I wanted the extra space. Now that we get two rooms, kids are 13 and 17, we don't need each room to be bigger and having two bathrooms is a big plus. We met and friended one of the star friends named Franco. He really made my son's week. He has been there for about 5 years now and is really a gem on the resort, this guy deserves a raise! Do not hesitate to book Lindo, you will have a wonderful week.

The buffet was terrific—wonderful food The kids club for our grandchildren, 2 seven year olds and one five year old, was great, they loved going and often didn’t want to leave A very well organized resort— they responded immediately to any requests All in all, a wonderful time had by all And Air Transat’s flight, pick up and delivery were excellent, far superior to Air Canada Vacations last year

We are a middle aged couple and visited the Iberostar Paradiso Lindo in February and we really enjoyed our stay. It's a beautiful resort, with great food, and great staff. Overall, we had a wonderful time. We booked this knowing it was a family resort, and I will say there are a lot of children. For the most part, they didn't bother us. It would have been nice to have an adults only or quieter pool in the main area, but in all honesty this resort is so big you could easily seek that out if you were willing to walk a little further away from the main area. We loved the animals and wildlife and the steakhouse, Mexican resto, and Mexican lunch buffet is a must!

Everything was great. Clean place, great layout, really nice beach. Staff was friendly and the food was simply the best we've had. We did 6 different a la cartes and each one was really enjoyable in terms of the quality of the food and the service. We just loved our stay.

We loved this resort and we are already planning to return next year (going to try Maya next year (same resort, different rooms and more restaurants)). There is so much to do for all ages. The waterslides, lazy river and wave pool are fun for all ages….the pools are amazing! The beach was really nice. My son loved Star Camp (9 yrs old)! We also played Tennis and had a blast! Food was great at all restaurants (Italian, El Rancho steakhouse, Under the Sea, Greek), except the Mexican restaurant (very disappointed with that…worst guacamole…but, room service guacamole and tortillas were great!). We loved the Teppanyaki restaurant….highly recommend it (fantastic food and a great show)! Buffets were all great. We loved the burgers and fries in the shopping centre Hamburger restaurant. Star Cafe is like Starbucks and a great go to place for snacks and drinks. The resort is huge…if you have mobility issues, that might be an issue (no elevators) , but there are shuttles (golf carts) running constantly around the resort. We walked about 10km a day. When booking a room ground level is that, 1st floor is the 2nd floor and 2nd floor is the 3rd floor…something to be aware of (as noted above, no elevators). We had a junior suite by the pool on the second floor and we loved it. Very spacious and clean. Loved that your key card is attached to your wrist band! Smart and handy! A few negatives…. All items in the stores are ridiculously priced (bag of chips and gummy worms were $43 CDN…stuffed animal was $60 CDN….2 packs of baby wipes were almost $50 CDN). Bring everything that you think that you need and more. Not much poolside drink service (1 person working a huge pool) and only one bartender working at each bar, so you can end up waiting in line for 20 mins for a drink. Get multiple drinks at once and bring your own large cup to keep them cold (Corkcicle, Stanley etc…) They used to greet you with a cold towel and glass of champagne upon arrival (as other all inclusive resorts do), but they have stopped that at Lindo (unsure why)….it is something that I like and this was missed. Overall a great resort…which is why we are going back next year!

Our stay at Paraiso Lindo was so amazing! Beautiful amenities. Good Buffet and awesome a la carte restaurants. Great family style resort with a host of activities for children. We would certainly book here again!!

Martine found us this resort last minute. I don't even know how she managed it. Great service. The service at this resort is awesome. Great if you have kids for the waterpark. Shows were a bit weak. Food is awesome.

Everything was great! The customer service was amazing, all the workers are incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. The check in process was seamless, even when there was a issue with our reservation (got a free upgrade to Maya from Lindo!). The restaurants were very good but the buffet was just as good. Highlights were El Rancho, La Geisha and El Tapotio. We did book restaurants right away and we worked around the times available. The pool is beautiful, the beach is amazing and the rooms were spacious. Maya rooms are bigger than Lindo but that is really the only difference other than access to a few more restaurants. Overall a great holiday! Would recommend for families with teenagers and families with young kids. My teens had a blast!

The resort was perfect, not too big. Pool area was awesome, weren't all squeezed in one small area. Food was delicious with plenty of options. The beach was good, but unfortunately the seaweed took over and were not able to go into the ocean for a few days, but that is outside of the resorts control.

Everything was excellent. Lots of activity options and many pools to choose from. Love the water slides. Very friendly staff. Food was amazing. Only issues for our family was the height restriction for the slides and the fact that there are no washrooms by the children area (slides/pirate ship). Far to walk to bring kids to the washroom when in this area.

The hotel was very clean, the food and drinks were excellent and the service was amazing. We were there with a large group and they did everything they could to meet every request that we had. Not once did I make a request that wasn't met with a smile.

Amazing grounds, beautiful nature and so well maintained and cared for by the incredible staff. The food was excellent, from the buffet, to the a la carte restaurants, and especially the little extras like the taco shop and Star Cafe for great coffee. We ate so well. There is so much to do at this hotel. We loved the pools and Star Camp was also terrific for the kids. Beach was beautiful even though there was some seaweed that the whole coast is dealing with. Amazing waves and beautiful clear water. Sunrise beach yoga with Isabel was a favourite activity for us and a great way to start each day. Our room was so comfortable and big. They brought in extra beds for the kids, it was perfect. We also loved the water filtration system which replaces so many plastic bottles.

The resort was beautiful with wonderful friendly staff. We loved everything about it. Dealing with the staff at Trip Central was great too. They were very helpful and responsive when I had questions about our trip. I would go back to the resort and also book through Trip Central for future vacations.

The hotel itself is beautiful, nice staff but there was lots that they did not try to overcome. Our fridges were only stocked the second day as we tipped but when we didn't tip again they did not restock. For 4 straight days the fire alarm was going off hourly and no one was coming to resolve the issue. It began on Sunday Dec 4th, 2022 and did so until Thursday December 8th, 2022. It would go off at all hours of the day and night. No staff came to check in case if fire or let us know there were no issues. Hard to enjoy yourself when an alarm is screaming for hours with no resolve. Anytime it would go off I would go check just in case it would be a fire or had to evacuate. When I advised the concierge they would tell us there was nothing they can do or would act all confused having no information. Paying all that money to not be able to relax was a very bad experience for my family and I. The staff came in and left champagne for us but left the door open, anyone could of just walked right in. Would I not recommend this hotel to anyone and we will not be returning.

Everything was perfect, our family of 10 enjoyed every minute. Our room was missing a few things like a phone, robes, umbrella but it did not away a our enjoyment, we are not people who normally use room service. The service at the restaurants and buffets was excellent always greeted by smiling faces. The kids loved the Cafe and all the pools and slides. We would definitely go back.

The hotel grounds was great. Rooms were all close to main pool, wave pool, lazy river and the water park. The rooms were outdated and wished there were more options. Food was great but wished they had more options for kids. The entertainment crew was good for both kids and adults. If you like your rooms to be cold, need to ask hotel to override the AC controls. Set at 22 degrees C. Overall, great resort and lots to do but rooms needs to be updated.

This place is beautiful. If you have scent allergies the check in/out can be hard as the lobby is horrible . Luckily the rest of the resort doesn’t smell like that. The pools are gorgeous ( If you don’t get a chair before 8 am you will not have one at the pool - beach is better) Food is good . However, if you are a diabetic there are not a lot of whole grain options ( they have gluten free items but as a diabetic that isn’t good to me . Entertainment is fun - some people are hard on the entertainment but the shows are upbeat . You have to walk miles to get anywhere . The golf carts that drive up and down are great . We were not lucky enough to have a clean room daily . Dirty linen, shampoo etc not filled and 2nd day the door was left unlocked - no apology at all even though they checked the door lock to see that no one from our room had come in after the cleaner . The safe was broken and the guy came twice to fix it - not fixed . We tipped first 3 days then stopped . 4th day - no toilet paper in the room ! Luckily we had another room we could lock up our stuff . If we had not had that I would have been really upset . My other 2 friends rooms didn’t have same problems with cleaning . Take taxis to places instead of booked excursions. Drivers that consierge can take you anywhere and stay all day for a few hundred $ the entrance to Tulune for example is about $4 US . You can then go somewhere else same day . We went to a beach to snorkel .

Gorgeous resort with amazing pools, wonderful food and fabulous hospitality. We went to this resort with our 10 month old daughter. It was very family friendly with high chairs at every restaurant, kid menus, baby kitchen, and kids water playground. We all really enjoyed our time!

Everything was of excellent quality: the service, food, drinks, sports activities, a la carte restaurants. We also liked so much the coffee, snacks, sweets! Would gladly go back next winter with family and friends. Highly recommended!

Our 3-year-old daughter contracted salmonella on the day three of our trip and got very ill. We suspect it was by eating apples and pears at the buffet or the beach. The staff at the front desk were not friendly when we needed them the most and overall our experience wasn’t the best.

To preface, my family and I are big supporters of the Royalton chain of resorts so we were visiting Iberostar with much skepticism. HOWEVER, from the minute we walked onto the grounds we were instantly persuaded to think differently! My family landed super late as we took a late afternoon train from Canada, so everything at the resort was closed by the time we got checked in. Our trip REALLY started the next morning at the wonderful breakfast buffet and did not stop being amazing until we had to sadly depart to return home. The resort was much bigger than we have experienced before (at Royaltons) but with the frequent buggy carts and beautifully landscaped grounds, it did not feel that big at all! Strolling to the 'Mall' area from the beach for crepes and tacos was an enjoyable scenic walk that you wouldn't necessarily get from smaller resorts. Everything was spaced out elegantly and had enough 'breathing' room between buildings and facilities (it felt HUGE but small at the same time!). We absolutely LOVED the themeatic decor of the different mini resorts (Lindo, Grand, Playa & Beach), and the more we explored the more impressive it all became! A+ for beauty and design! Beds and rooms were clean and comfortable - we did not have any special diamond/premium level subscriptions but I did not notice anything lacking from our experience. Cleaning staff was always respectful and friendly and we very much appreciated the constant tidying up and straightening (something about coming to a cool, clean room after a day in the sun that is just so amazing!). No smell or weird stains anywhere - A+ for rooms and cleanliness. Bars and lounge spaces: I picked this resort due to their access to International Liquors (I prefer American bourbon). Not to seem pretentious, but I've noticed the quality of the resort directly depends on the quality of liquor they have readily available... Every bartender was fast, responsive and generally friendly! With such a big resort, we never stayed at any particular bar/area to make anyone stand out but all the spaces that we visited had wonderful staff and a welcoming area to hang out and have some drinks - A+ Beach area: Busy resort = busy beach, BIG resort = even busier beach! Factoring that variable, the beaches were great! Limited shade spaces at BEACH front, but a little further back there were enough natural trees to sit under that still have sand under your feet. Sand was cleaned and didn't notice any seaweed whenever we went. At Lindo there was a beach volleyball court (behind the main beach area), a beach snack/drink stand and some good space for entertainment activities. We LOOOVE going to the beach, and even though we often never got any loungers by the time we arrived, there was no complaints. NOTE: although there were not many loungers available, there were 2 STELLAR groundskeepers that went out of their way (almost daily) to pull up some chairs for us - without being asked!

My husband and I came to this resort with our entire family which has been a dream of mine from when we got married 40 plus years ago. There were 10 of us and ranged in age from 4 to 67. The kids were on the go from the minute we stepped onto the grounds. The 2 youngest particularly loved star camp and never wanted to leave...….the staff were incredible! The grounds are huge and we were very glad we were pool side. We had junior suites for the young families and the rooms were gorgeous. The amenities fabulous! The pools were great, the water temperature perfect! The swim up bar with the waterfall overhead pretty and fun. The wave pool a huge delight! The activities offered were fun and the staff very cool! Javi, Carolina and others were extraordinary and so upbeat (I wish I could recall all of their names) The servers in the restaurant the best. Very attentive and fast! All staff very polite and smiling! I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. I would not hesitate to return to this resort...…..it's beautiful, functional and most of all fun. The perfect vacation!

This resort was amazing! Something for all! The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. The peacocks and coati's were something to see (and the kids loved them) Everything from the restaurants to the pools to the evening entertainment was amazing and well done. Probably though the best thing about the resort was the staff and how they made you feel. I wish I could recall all their names. the young ones spent some time at the star club and those folks were wonderful. In fact the 6 year old wanted to be there everyday! Normally when we travel we take an excursion or two. We did not this time as everything we needed was right at the resort.

This was my first time at an Iberostar. I have to say I was really impressed. The resort amenities and service are equal to that of Palladium. We loved everything the resort had to offer. Lots for families to do! Great options for dining. Thanks for a great week!

We took our 2yr old and 9m old; there was lots to do for our toddler. The shopping center has an amazing playstructure and you can get ice cream, iced coffee, and crepes all included. It was a great place to go and play. The shows were a little too late for us as we were in bed at 8pm; we did watch 1 show and it was very cool. They had swimming lessons for the kids (mine did not participate) but there were well structured from what I observed. Staff was amazing and accomodating to us with the kids. There was ALWAYS a chair available at the pool and we went at a very busy time. There always seemed like lots of space because there are so many pools. We will definatley be visiting the same resort again when our kids are a bit older to appreciate the amenities available!!

The grounds were well maintained The food was good in the Ala cart restaurants and fairly good in the buffets This resort was trying to go paperless with everything available on cell phones and electronic kiosks unfortunately the information was not always update I prefer bulletin bourds that showed the activities for the day The resort was massive with 5 different resorts on the property we used the golf cart service to get around and see each resort one thing that I did not like was the Iberostar star staff trying to push their time share services we should have paid the extra money to get the junior suite with a queen size bed and a double for or family of 3 the 2 double beds need to be replaced as they were uncomfortable

The food was delicious for the most part, particularly the buffet, Italian, and Hibachi. No shortage of food, there are snack bars everywhere and it's all great! The grounds were very well kept. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating, and you can tell they're hard-working. Loved the cappuccinos and lattes. The pool was great - spent a lot of time there. The room was perfectly cleaned every day. Loved their environmental endeavours - shampoo/conditioner/bodywash/handsoap/lotion were all refillable containers rather than small throw-away squeeze bottles, and filtered water was available on each floor to put in glass bottles, rather than using lots of plastic bottles. AC worked great in the room. Wifi works everywhere outside, even at the pool - a couple dead zones here and there (eg. by the cafe) but not a concern. Good variety of television channels. Good size safe in the room. I would suggest adding bins outside the hotel rooms for plates/cups to go in. Overall we had a great trip and definitely would like to return to this resort again.

I found the hotel to be very nice in all aspects. The staff were great, the grounds well maintained, food was good, we were attended to quite well. I can sum it up as I would go there again, which is a testament to itself. The only small, and not worth requesting a change with, was, we though we had a pool view room, and were given a different room, overlooking another part of the hotel. So little time was spent in the room outside of sleeping, it was really not an issue. The room was clean and comfortable. Room service was very slow, ( 1 hour) and food was cold when it arrived. The food was mostly discarded. The a la carte restaurants were not a vast improvement over the buffet, to justify the schedule changes required to arrive at the appointed time, and to my surprise, to a near empty restaurant, and to be eating at 9:30 pm. ( the only time "available") I would give the hotel a 4.5/5 as a rating.

The grounds were beautiful and quite large so we could go for a walk at night. The gym had great exercise classes. The pools were enjoyable. There were many families of all ages and there seemed to be something for everyone. They were very helpful with food allergies. It was lovely and we would return.

The resort was lovely. The restaurants were amazing except the food wasn't as hot temperature wise as it should be. The people were amazing and helpful. The pools were terrific and the entertainment was top class. I would definitely go back again.

Iberostar Paraiso Lindo is a wonderful family resort. Very clean, food excellent, staff friendly, very interactive, beach was excellent, no seaweed so far. Seen they did a lot with children. I would definitely recommend this resort.

Really nice resort with excellent food and very pleasant staff. We liked the gourmet and specialty restaurants. The star cafe is a pleasant surprise, offering excellent coffee and sweets. The room was tastefully decorated and spacious.

This is a 5 star property.we ate at 5 different restaurants.All were excellent.beach was groomed every morning.No sign of weeds.Lots of chairs at the beach.All washrooms and hallways were clean.Had breakfast at three different buffet restaurants.All excellant and no waiting.Our room was great with a large flat screen t v.Saff were friendly and helpful.Thanks to Debbie McGuire for recommending this resort

The resort is beautiful. It’s huge aswell so there’s lots to explore. Lots of activities to get into, or bars/shops to hang out at which is appealing for everyone. Staff is friendly, and the restaurants are great. Would highly recommend.

We had a great trip the resort was fantastic the food was good service was top notch it is a very large resort so lots to see and lots of walking over all great place Enjoyed the pool bar to much lol

This was a 5th time to Mexico, and this resort is tops. It is very large, but you don't feel crowded. It has something for everyone. The beach is fantastic, but the waves were very high when we were there. This is absolutely the cleanest resort we have been to. Rooms were spotless, and the grounds are amazing. The people are super friendly and we have to give a shoot out to Fanny. She was a server that put on a lot of miles running drinks back and forth for us at the pool. We went to the Steak House twice, but there was no availability at the Italian Restaurant in the entire 10 days we were there. The Steak House was excellent, but you can get Steak or Italian Food at any of the buffets every day, so we don`t feel we missed out at all. I would recommend this resort to any age group and from families with children to couples or singles. You won`t go wrong.

This place was amazing if you don’t mind the larger resorts. Food was good, entertainment was excellent, grounds were kept very clean. Accommodations were good. The only thing negative that I seen was the hotel REALLY tried hard to promote their services. It becomes a bother at times.

This was our second year at this resort. We came back because of the service. The wait staff are efficient and friendly. Our favorite waiter for breakfast and lunch was Ishmel. He went out of his way to please us. The day time activities are good. Water exercise and the dance lessons were two of my favorites. I missed the cookies and cheesecake that were available in the lobby bar last year. The coffee house dose not have as nice pastries. Our rooms were well taken care of by the cleaning staff. Always something special on our bed when we walked in. Restaurants were very good.

It was amazing. We like how they trit us there. The hotel was clean. The food and drinks was good. People are friendly. We really like there. Hopefully we gonna come back there for the next vacation. Thank you guys

As expected the Iberostar Resorts performed at a very hi quality standards. Everything they offered, from Food , multitude of restaurants beaches,, rooms cleanness, immaculate resort excellent food variety ...everything. The fact that in Playa Paraiso there are 5 Iberostar resorts coupled together with privileges all around is a bonus. Everything was excellent without any fault...way to go

This was a spectacular resort. Very large. The pools were fantastic. Always enough umbrellas. We love spending time at the beach and ocean but we really couldn’t here because the ocean was to volatile to swim in. The beach is also amazing- along with the snack bar. What was disappointing was the food. The breakfasts were sparse, food like eggs and omelettes were pre cooked and cold. Food would run out and it would take 10-25 mins for it to be replenished. Also the pasta was horrendous. Either the pre made ones or if you were lucky enough to get pasta made to order it was not tasty.

This hotel is fantastic. It’s very large and has 2 huge pools and a ton of umbrellas and recliners for all. The beach although large and beautiful was full of seaweed. They cleaned the beach on an ongoing basis all day long. The ocean was too rough to swim in. The buffets were very good - especially the main buffet in the main lobby. The only downfall for the food was the pasta. It was awful. Always. That was truly disappointing. The Star Coffee club was AMAZING. We went daily and it was a huge hit.

The grounds are very lush and beautiful. It always very clean. The pools are huge and well maintained. Pool Water was a little bit too warm to feel refresh. But the ocean with turquoise water was fantastic some days and with sea weeds other days. The beach with its soft white sand is great for nice walks. The only negative point is for the buffet. It is small the food is just okay and too repetitive. The Restaurant ms were better. It is a resort that I would return to.

The Iberostar Selections Paraiso Maya is a 4.5-5 star resort. You will not be dissapointed. The Paraiso Maya is housed on the same property as four other Iberostar resorts. Guests of the Maya willchave full access to all amenities at the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo, Iberostar Beach as well as the Iberostar Del Mar. The main pool is shared between the lindo and the Maya resorts. This pool is massive, so there will never be a time where you feel cramped. By being a guest of the Maya, you will also have access to approximately 4 other pools on the Iberostar property. Minimum style room at the Parasio Maya are considered Junior Suites, complete with 1 king bed (or 2 doubles) and a sitting area. Larger than than the double standard rooms of Parasio Maya. Food was excellent from buffets as well as al a carte restaurants. Guests of the Paraiso Maya will find a slightly higher end available at the Maya buffets vs the Lindo buffet. Items such as lobster, crab legs, and various other seafood available.

This was a good resort, clean, well maintained, friendly staff. The most amazing thing was the starcamp for kids activities and playground. It was at a high quality and joyful. Food was excellent and pools were great. The only thing that could be better is the shuttle bus service. It doesn't take you to the room but only to lobby (would be easier if you have to carry a sleeping kid (s)). That was minor though.

We absolutely loved this resort! The rooms and beds were comfortable and clean, the set up of the resort was easy to navigate and there was so much to experience! The resort was beautiful but overall the pool and entertainment staff were our favourite parts. They kept us feeling welcomed, engaged and we loved the experiences in the pool all day! Highly recommend this resort.

My husband and I, as well as two other couples visited the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo from May 5-12. We have travelled to a good number of resorts in the last few years and were impressed by the level of customer service at the Lindo. The resort is beautiful and staff were always working hard to keep it that way. The rooms are lovely, grounds are immaculate and food was great. This is one of 5 resorts in the Iberostar complex, which as a whole was huge but each resort was nicely laid out. There are lots of dining options. Our favourite was the beach shack. They have a very well staffed bar there and a snack shack that offers fresh burgers, hotdogs,french fries and nachos, as well as individually wrapped sandwiches, salads and fresh fruit. The only negative thing was the large amounts of seaweed in the water. This is something the resort has no control over but they worked endlessly to try to remove it from the beach. Lastly, a huge shout out to the concierges who are present in each building and work tirelessly to keep their customers happy. We would definitely return to this resort but would probably try to travel at a time when the seaweed was not present.

Pros: Beautiful resort, good food, comfortable clean rooms, family friendly, friendly staff, lots to do. Cons: Seaweed on the beach, smoking allowed everywhere We went beginning of May to avoid spring break crowds and enjoy less rainy weather. Our weather was fantastic. Windy weather most of the time caused us to not be able to do much snorkeling like we hoped, but kept us cool when visiting chichen Itza and while walking around the resort. We were able to eat at several alacarts but preferred the buffets. The nightly shows were pretty good and the wave pool and lazy river and volleyball poolswith the other pools were very enjoyable. We enjoyed the variety of restaurants and buffets. Loved that they had tacos and crepes at the mall and fast food bar at the beaches open all day. A bit of a drive for most excursions, but all doable. We saw Chichen Itza, visited an underground river cave and cenote and sailed to isla mujeras. The only downside was the beach. It was full of seaweed so we were not able to swim in it all week. We tried the last day when seaweed was minimal but it got tangled in our hair and was tough to clean out.

The Iberostar Lindo is the middle resort of five so it is a large complex with lots of walking from beach to lobby areas but not far too walk across resorts and there are lots of carts that will drive you back and forth. This was our second trip to an Iberostar and they did not disappoint with their customer service - they truly have this important aspect figured out! Having your own concierge per building is wonderful, we were in building 50, closest to the beach and Jorge was a great help to us on several occasions. Other positive points include the beach bar and food stand right on the beach- they had the best burgers and fries and Johnny was a great bar tender as well as Julio. The Star Café made delicious cappuccinos and the food overall was very good. The main buffet was never crowded, the hostess was great and the breakfasts were amazing. We ate in the steakhouse twice, the Japanese and the Italian a la cartes. We were less impressed with the Brazilian restaurant that was at the Beach resort- that could be why, it was not the Lindo and we did notice a difference in quality of both food and drinks away from the Lindo. Humberto and Franco were part of the animation team that we met and the evening shows were quite entertaining. Our room was comfortable and clean, our housekeeper was efficient, creative and the fridge was always stocked. The Sports bar was a nice touch with lots of screens to watch hockey games and they had good wings. There is a shopping mall across the street but still on resort property that had lots of selection- we never left the resort. Although we didn't use it, the gym looked amazing and there was so much we could have done to keep busy. The grounds staff worked so hard even in the extreme heat. The only negative during our trip was the beach- there was so much seaweed. The resort did their best to keep it removed but this is something they cannot control- anything within their control was top notch, thankyou!

This hotel is really great! Our room was very comfortable, great shower and all the amenities needed. Our housekeeping lady, Isabella, was great - our room was kept nice and clean and we always had towel animals to come back too left on the bed. Food was good and lots of selection. Loved the beach bar (Julio & Johny, best bartenders ever) and the snack bar on the beach was top notch. The grounds are nice and we liked that we had access to 2 other hotels, The Beach & Del Mar. We were not travelling with children, but I would highly recommend the Lindo for families as there was such a great kids club. Things for teens to do also, including their own disco.

This resort was absolutely amazing. From the food, to the pools, to the activities for kids. I have stayed at many resorts and by far this was the best value for your money. I traveled with my 5 year old grandson and there was so much for him to participate in that he was never bored. Truly amazing experience.

Great vacation April 22-29/19 Resort was beautiful, clean and wonderful staff. Rooms were great spacious and comfy beds. Food was amazing! Beach fantastic. Pools were fantastic! Highly recommend this resort to others.

Our family had a wonderful week at the Lindo resort, everything met or exceeded expectations. Rooms, Service, pools, beaches, food, bars, entertainment...all great. Sailing the Hobie Cats was an exceptionally fun experience, however there was an abundance of seaweed at the beach, despite the extensive efforts by staff to control it

Great resort, nice pools and grounds, decent food. Rooms are dated but comfortable. Food options aplenty. Overall staff not as friendly as other nearby resorts we’ve stayed at however we would definitely recommend and return to the Iberostar.

We thought that the Resort for the most part was amazing. The food was great, and the service was fantastic. The only issues we had was there was not enough signage throughout Resorts to know where we were, and also we were told it was not permitted to hold chairs by placing towels on them, yet every day everyone did it and it made it tough to find chairs.

Hotel was beautiful and the grounds gorgeous and well kept. Our room was nice, king size bed and lots of room to put clothes and your belongings. The maids did a great job keeping on top of it. The beach was very nice but very windy every day, not that anyone can help Mother Nature. We did have fun playing in the waves. There is lots to do, we never got to it all. Lots of kids and mostly at the pool. The food at the Mexican was great but they should make it more personal and not hosted at the buffet as too open and noisy. The other restaurants were really good, steak was awesome. Entertainment was good, magic show and the Broadway night. If you can make you way to the disco you should as it was a lot of fun. Great dance music. Did an excursion to Tulum ruins and Rio Secreto caves. Diego tour guide was very knowledgeable and a great guide. This was worth the money. All in all we would go back to this resort. The staff were great and worked very hard, they are overworked and the hotel should hire more to compensate... Also the drinks, especially at the beach, were not strong at all, it didn't taste like there was any liquor in them at all.

We were in this resort a few years ago, it was great, so we decided to come back. This time I was amazed by the service, friendliness of the stuff, cleanness of the resort. Kids Club is new amazing add-on, kids don't want to leave it. Property is beautiful and well maintained. No tips begging make you want to leave tips. The only concern we had was seaweed, couple days were really out of control. They have equipment to remove it, but, I guess, it was just a season for those. Overall, no complains, strongly recommend

Lindo was very clean, the rooms were a wee bit dated however comfortable, no complaints about food, we visited three parts to Iberostar elegant properties, would highly recommend to families, many activities for all, pools clean, ocean a little rough only had a few days of ocean swimming however beach very clean, staff were most helpful, we hired the photographer at the lindos to take family portraits excellent however pricey photos,

We stayed here as a family of 9 in three different buildings the last week of March 2019. Everything exceeded my expectations. The staff were always smiling and willing/wanting to help you. Little things make a big impression. There is a door separating the bedroom area from the entry door &bathroom. What a fantastic idea. We had no complaints. Absolutely everything was spot on. In fact we are starting to plan our next stay which will be two weeks. A shout out to our Trip Central rep Carol Webber for having tons of patience with all of my crazy questions and requests. We have been using Trip Central since starting to do All Inclusives and highly recommend them.

Fourth trip to IB Playa Paraiso, first three were to Beach, this trip we upgraded to Lindo - worth it? Yes Food is better at Buffet, Concierges in each building make booking ala cartes a snap. We booked 4 a la cartes but actually cancelled 2 of them. The buffet selection and quality was that good. The pool at the Beach is main attraction for us, and by staying at Lindo we have access to Beach property We'll go back for sure if the price is right.

We stayed at the Lindo last week. Room decor was a bit dated but very clean. We didnt spend much time in room anyways. Beds are very comfortable. Staff are all very helpful and extremely friendly. The entertainment group was fun and encouraged participation from our teenagers. We had the best stretch of the beach by far. Most other resorts have coral in front and are not suitable for swimming. They do a very good job at clearing the washed up seaweed each day to keep the beachfront clean. The water is clear and no coral for a long stretch so the swimming is great. Food was great with lots of variety. I would recommend this place for families with small children or teens.

Everything was amazing, the grounds were beautiful and the pools were salt water so great for the skin! Staff was so friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, I ate wayyy too much! There was tons of activities for me and my kids, plus the shows in the evenings were so much fun!

This is a fantastic family resort. Friendly staff clean facilities, amazing food. There is so much to do on the resort that everyday there is something new to discover. Definitely reccomend for any family.

Beautiful grounds, stunning beach, excellent food and the service was stellar. Rooms were very comfortable and well situated with the pools and beach close by. The quality of the food as well as the abundant choice of restaurants and buffets along with the 24 hour cafes and ice cream and crepe place just added to the amazing experience.Amazing holiday and would definitely go back to this wonderful resort, Iberostar Paraiso Lindo.

Everything about this resort was perfect! First of all for the parents they have the 24hr coffee shop with lattes, cappuccinos, and all the sweet treats. The bars and waitstaff are eager to please and the drinks and alcohol selection is excellent. The buffet food is amazing with lots of selection and quality offerings; prime rib, sirloin roast, tacos, sushi, pasta, pizza, local and international fish, pad thai, ribs, salad bar, bread bar and dessert bar. There are numerous a la cartes as well and booking is seamless through the concierge located in each building. The kids have endless things to do; wave pool, lazy river, pirate ship water park, and kids club. The kids club is brand new and absolutely phenomenal with indoor and outdoor playgrounds, trampoline room, gaming consoles, stage with costumes and even a DJ booth for the older kids. Everything is clean and safe and staff are excellent both in the kids club and all over the resort, they'll make you and your kids feel like royalty, especially the highly energetic entertainment team, I dont think they even sleep! The grounds, pools and common areas are absolutely immaculate and manicured to perfection. Even the wildlife love this place with birds, coati and capybara wandering about for all to enjoy.

Know what you are getting yourself into. I always search out larger resorts, as I enjoy wondering around and can feel the space, rather than a smaller setting. We stayed at the Lindo section of the 5 Iberostar resorts that are adjoining. The Del Mar and Beach seemed to be the older section, and the Maya the newest of the 4. The Lindo and Maya section offered interesting courtyards to access your room, as the Delmar and Beach were just boring apartment buildings with hallways. So an obvious upgrade in hotel design. We had access to the Beach and Del Mar, but were restricted to the Maya, however did share the pool with them. Then there was the Grand Paraiso, which seemed like a total different hotel. Design and decor was a major step up, rather opulent compared to the others. Their beach was almost equivalent to the combined of the other 4 building. Some of their rooms were directly on the beach as the other 4 resorts were separated by a mangrove area, giving it a more rustic and natural element. Maya, Lindo, DelMar and Beach's rooms closest to the ocean, which you would think to be the better and more expensive, were not the nicest at all. Our beach bar and snack bar were excellent, however there was a lot of watering down of the drinks. Not a bad idea for the early day consumption, but still disappointing in flavor for some drinks. Found the rooms be to large enough, beds were very comfortable. The balcony was a solid waist high enclosure, so little sitting down and people watching. The restaurant booking was very easy. Your building concierge can make all the reservations for the week. Steak house very good 1st time, second time was very disappointing. The french restaurant was a lot of show, with little food and flavor. The jambalaya was our best meal of the week. Interesting enough we were booked 2x in the Maya section restaurants. We also had access to other Iberostar resorts in the neighborhood. So we went and checked them out, as you could spend from 10AM to 6PM at those locations. Playacar, slightly older again, but a nice wide beach. Cozumel, which was a step down for sure. 4 room buildings, looking very tired, small beach and a dilapidated counter at the swimup bar, missing large sections of the tile, exposing the cement, unacceptable lack of maintenance at that resort. We traveled to that resort for a snorkeling excursion, booked on the beach at the Lindo resort with DresselDive. After traveling 2.5 hr to get to the diving location, we were told the winds and ocean conditions were too strong to be able to go snorkeling/diving. Traveling back and forth used up the day, however we were told the next day we would be fully refunded, which was done on a manual visa transaction slips. They took the funds electronically, why not process the credit in the same manner? It has been 2 weeks and no credit has shown up yet. After several emails to dresseldiving, just received a response that they would be looking into this. Also there was lots of wild life roaming around. Coatis, peacocks, lizards, flamingos. Several peacocks were rather noisy, keeping us awake one night. I was not displeased with the resort overall. It had lost of nice areas to sit and go to. The coffee shop, which made nice specialty drinks, had a roof top (open)terrace, a sports bar, several other bars. I personally like to be outside, so when I go on vacation where it has a pleasant outside temperature, I want to feel that. All the restaurants and buffets were closed in, the buffets had a lot of windows, the restaurants not so. The world is a large place, so many other places to go an see, so I would not return to the resort. I am understanding that the hotel chains all have their own theme and design. I prefer the colonial feel to a place and I felt the Lido gave me that. And I have realized that a 4.5 star rating is the minimum I would like for a resort. I like a rustic feel, but not rundown and old. Pictures make it often nicer than it really is, so be very careful not to underpay for your vacation experience, as a little more could make all the difference. However the same resort, same room, same perks all have different rates, depending when you book.

This resort was one of the nicest places that my wife and I have been to. The grounds were impeccable. The service and the people delivering the service were a 10 out of 10. We have travelled all over the world, and finally found a place that we will be returning to at least once a year. The food was great and just as it should be for a place of this caliber. The weather was just what we had ordered, sun and blue skies every day. WE WILL BE BACK.

My husband has given his review and I would like to give mine. The staff at this hotel was outstanding, especially our concierge Arturo. As we had been told, the food was great with lots of different restaurants to choose from. We would definitely go back again

The combination of weather,great food and the Mexican people made for a memorable holiday.Aspecial shoutout to our concierge at the Lindo,Arturo,who did so much to make our stay so memorable.A suggestion for your shows at night.There is nothing about the shows on your touchscreen.As a result we missed most of the shows during the first week.

This is our 5th stay at Lindo and it will not be our last. We have been to many other resorts in the Mayan Riviera and while most of the others were nice we have never returned to them. Lindo is part of the Iberostar Paraiso Resort Complex, there are five resorts in the complex, and Lindo is the middle of the five. We feel that Lindo gives you the most bang for our buck. The staff is amazing and they go out of their way to go that extra mile for you. The food is great, after you have done several Caribbean and Mexican resorts you come to realize that the quality of food is very different from one resort to the other. The resort is a very safe place so there is no worry about walking around at night or early in the morning. Also there are not people on the beach driving you crazy trying to sell you their local wares. Unlike most resort chains Iberostar does not have people harassing you to buy time shares or join clubs, these are offered but only if you show an interest. The only thing that I can say at all negative is about the evening shows. These shows have not changed in the past five years. While the rock show is great this is mainly because of the guitarist who is the real star of the show. I would like to see all of the other shows given an update. I would love to be given the job to select new music for all the shows. If you have never been here before you will enjoy the shows but if you are a returning guest it becomes a little boring. The entertainment team has completely changed this year, and they are very energetic. Also the resort has been doing some renovations which are great, the beach bar and snack bar are both redone, and there is now a 24/7 coffee bar in the lobby area. I can't say enough good things about Lindo and I am looking forward to going back

Amazing resort, with top quality food Its very big and spread out though, so be prepared to walk a lot (or take the golf carts) Excellent gym facility also - we loved to start our day off with a spin class

Hotel was great. Could use a little updating, but was clean and grounds well kept. Staff was amazing. Everyone was helpful, and went out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. No bottled water other than in room as part of recycling initiative and found the filteref water salty. Steak and Seafood Restaurant were amazing!

Just returned from Iberostar Lindo in the Mayan Riviera.....had a great holiday with my Daughter... I love this resort...Staff are very helpful, pleasant and hard working...property is beautiful...well maintained..our room was very clean and well stocked..including various drinks in the fridge...We stayed in building 51 which was near the pools and not far from the beach...lots of shaded areas for those who do not like sun around the pool..but the same for the sun lovers...grass covered shades are plentiful on the beach and around the pool...pool was rather chilly..but on a hot day...who cares..you get used to it..the sea was warmer...and not too rough while we were there..sandy, clean , minimal seaweed...and was whisked away by the tractor rakes daily.....we stayed around the pool most afternoons.my daughters choice.lots of activity going on for anyone who wanted to get involved..tremendous bar service poolside by staff ...most days Angela was our server..she was fantastic..friendly and courteous..the inpool bar was inviting too.. Beds were comfortable..many eating areas to select from during the day...plentiful fruit ..and food selections...we enjoyed the speciality restaurants we went to..especially Japanese.. This is a large resort and we were near the beach..there are many golf cart like buses that travel around and you can just hop on and get to destination..alternately you can call for one ..there is one or two Conceirges available in each building, so makes things like booking specialty restaurants easy...getting a ride....as well as passing any concerns to the right department. There is a “shopping plaza” on the grounds that has a few stores ....but there also is a small casino located there..a disco if you have interest..a place where kids can get cotton candy and other sweets which is included in your package.. a merry-go-round.. ...as well as a fantastic crepe bar..we loved that place..yum..also a place to get your speciality coffees and latees etc..donuts and sandwiches..’(there also is another coffee shop like this open 24 hrs a day just through the main lobby to the left in the Lindo) Transportation was on time and efficient to and from the airport... A+

I have been to this resort three times and each time I come back.... it gets better ! The rooms are clean and comfortable, the food is great, the drinks are awesome....full sized and they don't cheap out...and the beach is gorgeous. This really is an "all inclusive" resort....everything that you'd ever want to eat or drink is provided for you and the service is wonderful. Drop in to the cafe for a chai latte or carmel machiatto...enjoy fresh french fries, burgers, hot dogs and ice cream cones at the beach side bar....dine at a five star Japanese restaurant...and if you want to party till 3 a.m....head over to the Galaxy Disco. It's all here.

We travelled with our 2 kids (4&9). The resort layout is Perfect for families. You can walk everywhere. Restaurants are greats, staff friendly. Magic show and foam party were huge hits with kids. We will be back.

This was our sixth visit to Iberostar Paraiso Lindo. We are a 3- generation family of 6 (ages 8-62) who have been going annually in November. At first, we chose the resort due to the onsite golf course. The kids club (Star Camp) is amazing. My children, who have been making the trip since they were toddlers, are greeted back every year with full recognition from the year before. They love making friends from around the world, enjoy all the activities and participate in the nightly shows. Special kudos to David, Rebecca, Alejandro and Edith. The exercise facility is great. The food is wonderful. The staff are friendly. The grounds are well kept. Can’t wait to go back next year!!

My experience in this resort was amazing. Everything was good and the service people was very frendly and food excelent. Tkanks you very much. The shows in the thether need to be improved a few more in order every body feel more happy and nicer. This is importan in order people do not feel boring at night.

Grounds are beautiful, staff is very friendly, great restaurants and lots of activities to do! Snorkeling off the beach when it wasn't too wavy, beach volleyball, tennis, gym, fun competitions on the beach run by resort staff, clean pools and quality food. Would highly recommend this resort for families or a couple's getaway.

We thought the whole resort was gorgeous. It was large but after a few days we found our way around. Food, service, grounds, beach, drinks were all fabulous. No complaints at all. We would definitely recommend it.

Iberostar always does things right, from the food to the grounds and the entertainment. This resort is great and you have the ability to use 2 of the connected iberostar resorts as well. Iberostar always seems to deliver the best bang for your buck. We will be going backs soon and hopefully bringing many other friends with us.

We stayed at the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo from April 5 to 12. The weather was amazing every day with temperatures around 29 degrees and nice breezes. We travelled with my parents who are in their early 70's and emailed ahead of time for a room request and they accommodated us nicely with everything we asked for. The Good: -The resort and grounds are amazingly beautiful and very clean. -The staff were so incredibly sweet, we just loved them!! -the pool was huge and had very easy access in and out. Some areas have steps to get in and some have a gradual slopes to get in. -The swim up bar was gorgeous and the service was pretty fast! The drink waitress was always coming around so if you were laying out on the lounger you never had to wait long for a drink :) -The beach was gorgeous, warm and had a lovely sandy bottom...no rocks! -The rooms were very nice and clean and the bed was the most comfortable one I have ever had at any resort I have gone to. Mini fridge was always stocked. -With the resort being so big, it was so nice being able to call the service desk for a cart to come pick you up. Wait time was less than 5 minutes, it was awesome! -The lazy river was so fun, we just kept floating around and around meeting new people each lap...it was one of our favorite things to do! -We all felt very safe at this resort! The Bad: -The food was ok at best. We went to 3 ala cartes , the El Museo French gourmet (pretty good, crappy desserts), the Mexican restaurant (yuck, I got sick for 2 days after with stomach cramps and diarreah) and the El Fogon steakhouse (ok but they pushed a specific cut of beef on us and when we got it it was mostly fat..felt like they were trying to get rid of their low grade beef or something). The buffets were repetitive and the food got boring. Always something to eat but always the same. -Check in was a nightmare. We arrived around 12:30pm and our room wasn't ready. We waited around hoping maybe one would become available but they wouldn't even check for us and just kept saying 3:00pm, al the while other guests were walking away with their room keys. We even went up 2:45pm to see if it was ready and they said 3:00, wouldn't even call and see if it was ready or not. At 3:02 we went up and they picked up the phone and checked and they were ready. The shift changed at 3:00 and they didn't want to deal with us so they pushed us off to the next shift. We were exhausted and my parents are elderly....this ruined our first day. -There was no place to get food after 12:30...we were turned away at the main buffet and the pool buffet. We ended up way down at the beach and found a hut with French fries and burgers (under cooked). All the walking bothered my mothers bad leg and wiped us all out. Our first day was a write off. So disappointed. -The beach had so much seaweed that you couldn't swim a few days. It was like a huge sheet of seaweed covered the water, it was gross. I know its not the resorts fault but none the less it still sucked! -The first 2 days it was impossible to get loungers around the pool and the beach area. They started policing the area and removing towels off loungers if they were empty for an hour to free them up. At first I didn't like the idea but by the 3rd day there were loungers galore and it was lovely :) -our safe was broken on the second day but they were there within 15 minutes to fix it. Some people thought it was a scam to steal your money but I don't think so. The person fixing the safe wouldn't enter the room unless we were there and my husband noticed that the cleaning staff were watched by a supervisor or someone when they cleaned every room. We had no issue with theft or anything like that. Overall a nice resort, I would give it a 3.5/5 mainly because of the food, it was disappointing.

Beautiful and manicured. So many pools and choice of food. Something for everyone. Most service is on par. Buffet service could be more consistent. Rooms are clean and serviced appropriately. Very large so you’ll want to take advantage of the golf carts Nd trolley when you get a chance.

With the help of Debbie Maguire, we chose this resort specifically with our autistic 19 year old grandson in mind as he loves to swim and especially wave pools. It is a beautiful resort and did not disappoint. However, for the amount of money we paid, I thought that the service could have been better and I'm generally not picky about service. Sometimes it was very good and other times, not good at all. Yes, the beds could have been a little better quality and people should know that the rooms with 2 beds are only double beds not queen sized. Just a couple of little things. I would say, that just as a couple, I would not choose to go there as we prefer smaller resorts, but all in all, a great place for families!
