Just returned from a 7 night stay at parisio Maya Suits. The resort is stunning and massive as you have access to the 3 resorts below the Maya level. The grounds are meticulously maintained and beautiful, the attention to detail is evident. The food was abundant and always a great selection in the buffets. We had 3 al la carte bookings and enjoyed them all. The beach was nice but going in sargassum season you can only expect it to be ok, the resort had installed sargassum barriers to help and it has bit the water didn’t have the turquoise colour that we all love. Sadly Mother Nature rules here, having said that the resort is constantly cleaning the beach for everyone’s enjoyment. The staff are friendly and more than accommodating for any requests.

The hotel was almost perfect. Great fitness facilities, pickleball courts, pools, rooms, grounds, coffee shops. My only complaint is very hard to get dinner resos anywhere and walk in was almost impossible. So Buffett dinners were common back ups. The beach is very seaweedy but they work all day long trying to clean it. Ocean was hit or miss to swim in . The booking process was filled with errors and credit card charges and west jet cancelled our flight and rebooked a day later but did not compensate for the lost day. So our 7 day all inclusive turned into a 6 days all inclusive. No apology, no hotel vouchers, no food vouchers. West jet left us high and dry.

This resort offers everything and more! The food, entertainment, pools, waterslides, wave pool, activities, landscaping, wildlife and staff are all amazing! The drinks are delicious and the buffets have so many choices! We are going back for the 3rd time!

Went as a family of 4 with two elementary aged kids. Non-drinkers/partiers; mainly focused on kid-friendly activities, exercising, and relaxing. - Buffet food was very good with plenty of variety and options - Concierge was super helpful when we had requests (we requested blankets so one of our kids could sleep on the couch & they took it 1 step further & provided a full extra trundle bed) - Beach was nice and well maintained. Liked that there was a bar, food station, and bathrooms right there - Nothing felt overly crowded. Busy and lively but not crowded - Check in/out was simple - Lots of activities for all ages - Gym was large and had plenty of machines as well as additional studios & free weights upstairs - Also lots of tennis courts and pickle ball. We had no issue booking a court, plenty of free space - Grounds were well kept and lovely - Appreciated all the drink stations with various juices and water with fruit in them to add a bit of flavour - Coffee shop was open 24/7 and had nice ambiance - Nightly entertainment was pretty top notch! - There was a live band playing covers of popular songs at the pool on Friday and they were really awesome & talented. - You could wander to the lindo & del mar sides. Lindo was also very nice. Del mar was more sprawling but there's parrots and flamingos to check out if you head that direction - Generally large grounds which was nice, enough room to go for a long walk. - Star camp seemed cool but our kids were not fans unfortunately; they went for a few hours one day and declared "never again". Other kids seemed to like it. - This is our fourth time visiting Mexico. We have done a different resort every time. This has been the best experience for us. Small things I noticed that were less-good but not deal breakers/were just a passing "hm this could have been better" thoughts. - Someone else's hair on our room's shower wall when we first arrived = cleaner missed it? Not a big deal but if you're a stickler for cleanliness maybe you would notice and care a lot. - At the breakfast buffet they had pre-made options for omlettes etc but they were often a bit cold. They also had folks making fresh omlettes & pancakes to order so if you want something hot I'd recommend that. There was rarely any line for this either! - Some of the people who worked there seemed pretty "blah" about their job haha. They were always polite but you could see they were also a bit over it all. We tried to be nice & tip etc and again this wasn't a big deal. I'm sure it's a very hard job as well. But if you are a stickler for perfect service and having people fake it until they make it maybe it would bother you. - Coatis are a bit annoying sometimes, I saw one jump on a guy and steal food right out of his hand. They were also frequently inside the garbage cans so i was a bit wary when using the cans in case one jumped out at me (never happened phew). I'd just say to be aware when you have food and they are around. Don't leave food unattended. They are cute though and fun for the kids.

Excellent food,grounds,service, cleanliness cannot type anything else †****†*************************************************************************************"*****"*""""""†***********†****††****"**†""""""***********************"*"""*""""************

Exceptional value! Food - excellent! Service - excellent! Beach - excellent! Pools - excellent! Room - excellent! All amenities - excellent!! Cleanliness - excellent! Bartenders - excellent! Waitstaff - excellent!

The grounds, staff and rooms were great! The coffee shops were awesome and there was always chairs by the pool even at 10am. The buffet was good; it had a lot of variety but the options were mostly the same for lunch and dinner all 7 days. The gym was really nice and the pickleball/ tennis courts were never busy. The food at the La Geisha restaurant was delicious.

This was a great vacation. Everything was clean, food was great, and the people working there were helpful and nice. We cannot wait to go back again. This was our first all inclusive because we heard many bad stories but this resort had none of them. Only good times.

The Iberostar Parisio Maya is a beautiful resort. They are extremely environmentally forward with no single use plastic anywhere on the premises. The grounds are beautifully manicured and the food is amazing. This was my 19th trip to the Iberostar and I’ll keep going back!!!

We spent five nights in April, staying at Iberostar Maya. The food was amazing, and there were tons of activities to keep us entertained and occupied for the entire stay! I would go back in a heartbeat! The ocean was windy, but we enjoyed jumping on the waves. The waterpark was wonderful for younger kids. We ate at a restaurant each night of our stay; the best restaurant was Greek "Lemon and Spices," followed by Asian and Seafood. The steakhouse was okay.

The grounds are spectacular and mature. The beach walking south is exceptional x2 hours a few patches of rocks all the way to Maroma Beach. . The food was very good. The service was very good but the ice cream wasn’t good. The fruit and vegetables, baked goods and deserts were great! The rooms are fresh and up to date. Lots of fun activities for families with children. Only 30 mins from the airport.

The hotel needs to enforce its policy of not allowing people to reserve seating with towels or personal belongings...most mornings by 9am, all seats had towels. Also, as the resort said 100% no smoking, this was something that was also not enforced by the staff. Otherwise great place to stay, clean rooms, lots of choice for food and all tasted amazing.

Dinning was everything and more than we expected. We upgraded our room and were very nice. Grounds were very well kept no matter where you were on the grounds. The only thing that our party wasn’t crazy about is the size of this place. If you don’t mind walking, this is certainly the place for you. Other than that, we would rate the Iberostar Maya a very strong 4 1/2..

We have now been there 53 times. Need I say more? And, on this trip, they added a weekly dinner buffet on the beach. It was great! Try this place just to debate whether the Golden Margarita or the Mango Margarita is better!

This hotel was absolutely gorgeous and met or exceeded all of our expectations! The food was awesome, so many different options, everything felt so fresh and homemade and satisfied all of our Mexican food cravings! The a la cart restaurants were especially fantastic, the Mexican restaurant, and the steakhouse were our favourites for sure. The best part of the trip was how extremely lovely and kind everyone was to our family. We were almost left speechless every time we had a meal, the way that they treated our kids and made us feel so welcome was literally the biggest and most wonderful surprise. The entertainment was fantastic, this resort is the best option I’ve ever seen for kids! Every night they involved our children in all of the activities and our daughter truly had the best week of her life. We’re already thinking about our next trip back to this incredible resort.

This was our third return to the Iberostar Maya/Lindo in Mexico (first two trips were in 2016 & 2017). We had a wonderful week with 6 adults and 5 kids (ages between 3 and 13). Covid related rules and policies are much like they are in Canada - masking in public areas, entering and leaving restaurants, going up to the buffet etc. In the buffets, some things are serve yourself and some are served for you by staff. The quality and diversity of food was a little lower than what we experienced in 2016/7, but still very very good. The grounds and rooms are just as lovely as always and the service is great. The new waterslides are fun, but we found we would go down 4-5times and not everyday, so they are never busy which is nice. We flew Air Canada and had a lovely experience there to. Traveling back through Pearson Airport, even with all the extra checks, balances and testing was smooth and very well managed and organized. In every interaction with many people who are part of the travel industry (Travel agents, flight attendants, airport staff, resort staff) we had nothing but good experiences so thank you to all of them as we had a great vacation!

We stayed at the Maya the 1st week of Feb 2020. It's a beautiful resort. We arrived around 10pm and restaurants were closed, but room service is available 24 hrs a day. The grounds are clean & well-maintained... very pretty. We were in bldg 63 which was perfect & central to pools, beach, restaurants. Our room was large with a king bed, sitting area & balcony facing the wave pool. Buffets were very good with plenty of options. We really enjoyed our vacation.

This resort is beautiful. The staff are so friendly and kind. Everything is very clean and tidy. The a la carte restaurants and the shows were outstanding. We had an amazing time, will definitely recommend this resort.

This resort was beautiful, our room was huge and always so clean! The buffet at the Lindo was amazing, we tried the Mexican, Italian, Japanese, and the Steak restaurants, all were amazing, the staff was great, everything was clean. I have no complaints at all. My daughter loved the wave pool. The lobby bar made the best Mai Tai. We did not use the kids camp but it looked fantastic as well. All around great vacation and we will definitely return!

My family and I recently stayed at Iberostar and we can’t say it enough the place is amazing. From the cleanliness of not only the rooms but the whole resort to the amazing food and drinks. The entertainment team is amazing and they put on great shows and always have activities during the day. The resort is also great if you have kids. Star kids. They have interactive shows that they do with the kids, they then perform in the evening. They have kids water park and programs for them. The pools are amazing, the have a wave pool, lazy river and a great beach and all very clean. They also have a shopping centre if you want to do some shopping. The staff are very friendly and always happy to see you. Also for amenities, you don’t need to bring a thing, they have big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, hair dryer, towels, robe, slippers. We did not see one bug and I have to mention the smell when you enter the lobby is amazing. We highly recommend this resort and we definitely will be returning.

My fiance and I came to Iberostar early November for a week getaway. The staff was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We spent most of our time at the beach and the main pool. The beach was beautiful and well maintained - you will have to swim atop corals to swim and float at the beach, beware of jelly fish as we both got stung. The entertainment crew was great and fun through the day from entertaining beach volleyball and games to pool activities. The resort is big as well so you are able to roam around and walk all over without the need of golf carts to get from point A to point B. Our rooms were great as well, spacious and clean. The restaurants were wonderful as well with plenty of options - would highly recommend this resort for families and young kids as there were a lot of entertainment for kids and lots of families. We had a great time but if you’re looking for an adult crowd, may not be the right resort for you.

The resort is huge as it combined 5 resorts together and can share all the facilities. Scuba dive center is amazing! All staffs are friendly! The pool and beach are beautiful! Only issue of the resort was there were lots of bugs or fleas or bed bugs and all of us got lots of bites. But Overall was a great resort!

We feel we were picked up and placed in Paradise! We stayed at Paradiso Maya with access to the other 3 resorts. Besides some restaurants, our two boys were happy to stay at the Maya - there was so much to do there. All the staff are terrific no question. The bartenders at the main bar in the Maya are a hoot!! The place is spotless the food wonderful. Bland never came to mind with the food. We would definitely recommend the place and would return in the future.

Worse resort ever. They refuse to serve me drinks because I didn’t tip the bartenders. My room didn’t got cleaned properly. After i left tip was all cleaned. Third night no tip my room was not cleaned again. I ordered deinks while waching a show and we never got the drinks. Second night i tip the servent and the drinks amazingly showed up in couple minutes. They should be ashamed to ask $6000 for 7 days. That resort deserves under $3000 for 7days. Never will go there again.

We have been to at least a dozen resorts. This was our best so Far! The grounds at the Maya Resort are beautiful. It is a big resort without feeling crowded. The whole resort is clean and welcoming. Check in was quick. Lots of great fresh food. All the staff were polite and went over and beyond to please your needs. When we called the front desk for any request, we were dealt with immediately. Excellent Service All around!! The pools were beautiful. Beach was beautiful. The sea did have sea weed washed up on the beach. But they had a tractor picking it up many times a day. Best resort - service so far in our 10 years of travelling

A very beautiful, spacious resort shared with 3 other sister hotels. The grounds are lush green and well taken cared by the staff, so many pools to be enjoyed by all ages including a wave pool for the kids.Our bedroom was amazing, the sheer size and we had a shower and tub in our bathroom. The little fridge was restocked daily with bottled water, pop and beer. There is 6 hotel blocks with rooms and each block had its own concierge desk to help visitors with issues. The hotels let guests share their restaurants, so many choices and the food and service was excellent.There is a good variety of entertainment at the theatre every evening and different activities during the day at the pools and beach.If walking is too tiring for the kids or elderly one can ask the concierge desk to call for a golf cart ride to your destination ljke the shopping center...

Just returned from our 48th visit. Yes, 48 times. Not a typo. It has everything we want. Not too far from the airport, a very long beach for walking, warm temperatures even during a polar vortex, exceptionally friendly staff, great food, very nice & clean rooms, golf, a new gym with very nice equipment & knowledgeable trainers, a variety of TV choices, free WIFI and always plenty of other nice people to spend time with, many of whom have also been there lots of times before. Oh yeah - and for all of you like me, that are not booze hounds, all the ice cream you can eat.

We booked at Paraiso Maya for two weeks - first week for our wedding, along with 15 other family and friends, then the second week for our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we felt like VIP’s! The best part is, we are fairly certain that they treat all of their guests this way. In case you have not read this in any other reviews, the resort is HUGE. I mean massive. We spent two weeks discovering new parts of the resorts, new restaurants, new pools, even new animals. My husband and I clocked in 30,000 steps each one day (that’s equivalent of a half marathon). We enjoyed the walking, but if the size of the resort intimidates you, not to worry - they have golf carts that’ll take you anywhere you want whenever. Some fun places to go include the resort mall, which contains many shops, taco eatery, burger place, crepe store, candy store, disco, and the spa. The beach is beautiful - constantly being maintained, constantly being raked of the seaweed, dedicated staff who spend the entire day cleaning the mess left by guests, brushing off chairs, putting everything in the right spots. Waters in Cancun/Mayan Riviera vary - we saw it go from extremely rough waves to calm sheet of glass from day to day. Lifeguards are on site and keeping swimmers in the safe zone/keeping their eye on everything. The beach has several dedicated food bars spread along a boardwalk for the different resorts. By far the best snack bar I have ever had at a resort. Cheeseburgers, fish burgers, chicken burgers, fries, salads and fruits in to go containers, sandwiches, nachos, and soft serve ice cream. Always fresh and always there. The quality was so excellent that I couldn’t help having fries every day (I normally never eat fries). The walk from the pool to the beach takes about a minute through a “jungle”. You walk on very wide wooden bridges or boardwalks that take you to the main boardwalk along the beach. Below the bridges live the many, many coaties of the resorts. Super cute but apparently can become aggressive when food is involved. Don’t feed them (even though guests do - they look SO cute you really can’t help it). The resort rooms are beautiful. Very well kept, and clean. Two massive closets, a huge bathroom with jacuzzi and stand up shower, a sitting area, and wrap around balcony. Our view when we left our room was the pool, and from our balcony the “jungle” full of exotic birds and Coaties (they look like overgrown squirrels mixed with racoons). Speaking of animals, the resort has no shortage of animals roaming freely. Peacocks, swans, flamingos, coaties, even squirrels!). The grounds are extremely well manicured. They have no shortage of staff constantly cleaning, maintaining, and repairing. This is impressive considering the massive size of the resort. Over two weeks, we saw many changes in weather including severe rain, winds, to general sunny skies. They had staff taking care of it all - whether it was mopping the excess water, or sweeping away the blown down leaves - the entire resort was always being maintained. The staff are probably the friendliest group of people I have ever met in my entire life. Every single person working greets you with a smile and hello. It was impressive because over two weeks, it remained consistent and very genuine! Our room housekeeper, Minerva, was friendly, creative with the towels, and discreet with the cleaning - in two weeks we only ran into her once cleaning our room when returning from breakfast! She, and her night turndown staff Lucia, made sure to make our stay extra special with rose pedals, kind notes, chocolates, and snacks. My husband and I went to the gym at the resort several times, and even attended a Zumba class, dance class and water aerobics. The gym is by far the nicest hotel/resort gym I have ever been to. It has two levels - first level with machines, treadmills, weights, and a stretch area, and second level has three studios reserved for group classes. Tennis courts for tennis players, a shooting range, bikes for cyclists, as well as a designated jogging route for runners. Water aerobics had low attendance, but Zumba was really fun and always drew a crowd. Another impressive detail from the resorts overall is their environmental awareness. Double flush toilets, recycle/compost/paper/trash deposits, absolutely no straws, no plastic cups near the ocean to name a few. As I mentioned earlier, everyone is treated like VIP, no matter who you are. They constantly had servers asking for drink orders, in the restaurants they would replenish your drinks even before you ordered a second one, and if you even had any simple request, they would make whatever you needed happen. The food was by far the best I have had at any resort - variety, quantity and quality. I like my eggs poached, but usually they are overdone at resorts. The poached egg tray had perfectly poached eggs just ready for you to eat every morning! There was a designated kitchen staff cutting smoked salmon and tuna, always fresh fruit, always a variety to pick from. Chefs and kitchen staff constantly walking around the buffet making sure presentation, quantity and cleanliness were maintained. We tried several different buffets and restaurants, and it was consistently that way. Most of the a la carte restaurants require for you to use a buffet for appetizers wit the exception of the french restaurant and Japanese restaurant (El Museo and La Geisha). The restaurant managers always greeted us with a big smile and hello (Adrian and Oscar). You can actually book reservations using their Iberostar App, which is REALLY cool and convenient. theres also a schedule of all resort activities going on that day/week that you can sync with your calendar too. If you ever considered doing a destination wedding, do one. It was GREAT. Low stress, low maintenance, tons of fun. Carmen, our wedding coordinator, took care of everything. We took the very basic wedding package, but had the chance to watch several weddings over the course of two weeks. They really know what they are doing and it was done really well. The wedding photographer, Victor from Adventure Photos, was absolutely incredible. The photos were ready in less than a week, as was the photo albums. We got to leave the resort with everything! What incredible service. If you want to take your kids to a great resort, I highly recommend this one. You can also re-assure them that the WIFI works GREAT and from literally everywhere on the resort. Tons of organized and not organized things for kids of all ages to do. As we were leaving they were adding the final touches to their newest complex, Star Camp, which is the kids programming dedicated for children of all ages. I would love it if our kids would be a part of it but they are 12 and 15, and are “too cool” for that. My recommendation would be to have a dedicated star camp greeter at reception that can whisk the kids away immediately at that age so that they don’t feel like they have to make the first step and sign up. Shows were fun and well attended. Because there are several resorts, there are also several theatres and shows. If you miss one show one night, you can always attend it the following night! The lazy river was used several times by our entire group. Really fun and relaxing. A great addition to the resort experience for sure! Our second week we spent a majority of it diving. Varna, who greeted us at the counter of the dive shop, was awesome and extremely informative. We dove with Iago, Paul and Olaf, all amazing guides and made our trip extra special. One tip to keep in mind is that they do not have a jetty or dock, therefore expect to walk into the water with your gear on to get to the boat. Your boat will most likely be delayed as we had to wait for the bus from Cancun to arrive with divers too. If you leave your equipment at the shop, make sure that it is in containers or cases - my husband’s new mask was smashed after the first day. However, the staff acknowledged their mistake and gave him a free dive.

We had a wonderful stay at Iberostar Paraiso Maya in Mexico. The beach was pretty nice considering there was seaweed due to high winds. The resort did a pretty good job of cleaning the beach on a daily basis. There are lots of pools to swim and they have very good amenities for kids; a dedicated kids club with supervised staff, a pirate ship a wave pool and a lazy river. There are lots of buffets to chose from for food. I found the food to be better at the Maya buffet compared to Lindo and we actually preferred the buffet to the restaurants. The Japanese and the statehouse were the best restaurants. We did not like the food at the Jambalaya. Overall great hotel, nice and accommodating staff and very good for kids.

Overall a nice resort, but there were a few issues. Rooms: no slippers or robes, air conditioner needed repair, some in our party did not get turn down service Food: buffet food was ok, but not great; food at the Mexican restaurant was terrible; the gourmet restaurant was nice Beach: beach area was nice in front of the property, but completely neglected off the property; one section of the beach seemed to be a dump for excess sand, seaweed, and other debris. Property: well maintained and attractive, with lots of security Disco: good music and nice size Pools: no quiet pool; you can hear the music everywhere

This was a girl's trip for my friend and I and we were treated so well from the moment that we arrived until the time we left. Everyone we met was so friendly. You can tell that the guests are treated very well as there is a happy vibe throughout the resort. We loved the pool. It was enormous with different areas depending on what you were wanting to do. There was no shortage of shade either there or at the beach. It may have been the time of year, since it was October, but there still seemed like there would be adequate space even if it was busier. The beach was also very nice. We did see some seaweed but there was still plenty of areas to swim where the sand was lovely. We loved the fact that you could book an a la carte every night. We booked a few right away when we checked in and then easily booked the rest through the app. All of the a la cartes were excellent but we especially enjoyed the Cajun and the Japanese. The service was excellent in all of them also. The breakfast buffet near the main lobby was amazing. The staff there took the time to learn your name and how you took your coffee. We also loved the shopping center with the casino, shops and disco. We had lunch and ice cream there one day. So nice that this was all included also. Most days we had lunch at the snack bar on the beach. Great food there too. The room was extremely spacious. This was the reason we chose the Maya over the Lindo and we were very happy that we did. There is a small corridor when you come in where the closets, fridge, safe and bathroom are. There is another door that you can close if someone is an early riser. There was also an additional sitting room and then the balcony that was very large too. It even had a hammock. The room cleaning was always done by the time we returned and they did a great job. No matter what time we went out for dinner, early or late, we always received turn down service with extra water, cute towel and face cloth shapes and rose petals. The WiFi worked very well everywhere on the property and was included in the price. The main lobby bar (Snake Bar) was always fun and the drinks were well made there. The bartenders would often go elsewhere if they needed to get you something they did not have. Great drinks everywhere else also. The resort is very large, however it does not take very long to figure out the short cuts. You can also call for the golf carts or flag them as they drive by. We did not need them too much except when we went to the Lindo for dinner at the Cajun restaurant. We did not go to the entertainment in the evening because we tended to eat later and ended up going to the lobby for drinks after dinner. The resort was also a short 30 - 35 min ride from the airport. I have been to many all inclusive resorts but had not visited an Iberostar before. I really cannot think of anything that we did not enjoy about our stay and will definitely be back.

Room were very nice, spacious and kept very clean. Pool was great and grounds were extensive and a great variety with access to the four properties. Loved the black swans and flamingos. Beach was clean.

Exemplary! Very impressed with everything and everyone. This place was very clean, staff was very polite, approachable and accomodating. We enjoyed the great pools and beach facilities. There was a great selection with the meals. Housekeeping, Diana and concierge service was excellent (Mario) and Pech. We are hoping to be back again.

Hotel was fantastic! Front Lobby was impressive and check-in was fast allowing for almost a full first day to get to know the resort. Lobby bar was a great meeting place before activities and the bartenders always cheerful and helpful. Coffee martini's were fantastic. Our room was quite spacious and clean. Housekeeping was very good. The bathroom was beautiful stone/marble with double sinks. Food was very good. Mexican restaurant was delicious. Service at each a la carte was very good. Pools were gorgeous and very clean and very maintained. Staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the resort. Golf course was very scenic and very well maintained. Staff cleaned our clubs better than they've been since new. The drink cart came around at just the right time. Wi-Fi was fast and everywhere you wanted it to be.

The resort in general is in immaculate condition, from the rooms, the always clean and manicured grounds and surroundings to the very entertaining shows and other resort services. The golf course is championship caliber. But most of all it is the service of the people that works on the frontline that made me fall in love with the place. They make you feel important and like royalty .

My wife and I have just returned from our 42nd trip to this Resort. We used to travel around trying different places but this one has everything we truly enjoy. First of all, it is not too far from the airport and cool, comfortable minivans are used as shuttles instead of large, smelly buses. I'm sure nobody enjoys riding a bus immediately after a 4 hour flight. *For your peace of mind, the Resort is secure and gated and security personnel regularly patrol the entire compound morning, noon and night. Our arrival and check-in always goes smoothly. The bellboys take the bags from the minivan and place them under watchful eyes while guests proceed to the front desk. As there are never more than 2 or 3 couples checking-in, the process happens quickly without waiting or lineups. New identification wristbands are made from a very comfortable cloth instead of that old-style sticky plastic. Once a room number is assigned (the rooms are always ready), that number is given to the bellboys and you are taken by them in golf carts to your room. The property is "manicured" daily by an army of groundskeepers. In other words, the Resort is clean and beautiful. No matter how many times we visit, we always notice something new and interesting. If you ever grow tired of sitting on the beach or at the pool, you will be fascinated by a walk around the grounds. Of course the rooms are also cool, clean and very comfortable. However, if you do find something that is not to your liking, for example a wobbly toilet seat, just let your Concierge know and the concern will be addressed and/or fixed right away. Each building has it's own Concierge who will be happy to help you with ANYTHING at all. This brings us to the Resort staff. From the management to the janitors, to say they are pleasant, polite and extremely concerned with your every comfort would be an understatement. Take some time to meet them. What an incredible group of people! Would you like dinner reservations at a particular restaurant? Done! Did you forget something at home? Let them surprise you with a new one by delivering it, free of charge, to your room. Would you like to learn some Spanish? Ask anyone! Is there a particular brand of alcohol which you prefer but is not stocked on the premises? Don’t be shocked if they send somebody to the liquor store for you! These people are unbelievable! They do everything they can to EXCEED your expectations. One thing which we most enjoy is meeting and getting to know the employees. One thing we least enjoy is finding out, upon a return trip, that one of our many friends is not there anymore because they have moved on to new employment. It is sad but there are always new people to meet. Believe me, the Resort would not be the same without these GREAT people. The food is fantastic. In fact, the food in the buffets is so good and daily so diverse, that there really is no need for the specialty restaurants located around the Resort. Iberostar Paraiso Maya has it’s own golf course. A beautiful layout which is also maintained to perfection. In fact, Big Break Mexico was filmed there a few years ago and I was thrilled to watch the World Team Golf Championships which were held there. Green fees for guests are just $59 and that includes the cart. One really nice feature is that the “all-inclusive” aspect of the Hotel extends to the on-course beverage cart! *My only words of caution will be advise you all to avoid spring break. Anywhere! Teenagers are (and YES, I used to be one) insane, loud and inconsiderate. Finally, and also for your peace of mind, please be confident that the water served in restaurants and buffets IS bottled and clean. Drink all you want without fear of Montezuma’s Revenge. Just don’t do anything stupid, like trying to impress your friends by power-drinking in the hot sun, and I promise you will have a fabulous vacation.

Beautiful resort!! Once you enter the resort, it's clean, smells good, inviting and the staff is friendly and helpful!! Love the lemonade cucumber water they greet you with at the check-in desk!! Even my husband liked it!! We appreciated the golf carts servicing to rooms, throughout the grounds and other resorts!! Our elevators was not working but managed even if we were on the 3rd floor. I know they would have accommodated us, if we couldn't manage!! They are there to help the best they can, as they care!! We have no complaints on our room!! It was nice and served its purpose!! Food was great and the à la carte dining was amazing!! The beach is WOW!! Loved it!! It's the nicest and clearest of all the resorts you're able to visit during your stay!! The pools are great, well maintained.. My only concern was the actual guests not respecting and keeping clean.. but staff worked really hard to keep up and always kept it clean!! I wish people would be more considerate while enjoying the beauty and service offered even on vacation!! SO much to do and see but lots of walking between resorts which wasn't bad.. It kept us in shape with all the food and drinks intake :D !! The kids club was absolutely incredible!! Top notch staff and program was awesome!! My oldest loved it and highly recommend!! My youngest didn't get the chance to enjoy but always had a place.. He was accepted and he got to be on stage during some of the performance with the kids club kids!! My children were loved and treated like gold and so were we!! I We liked the entertainment offered for adults after the kids show. The staff at this resort, works hard and long hours!! Well worth tipping to help them out.. Keep in mind, tips are shared among the staff servicing the area you're at (so tip a little more, if you're able too)!! Never forget to say thank you and show your appreciation!! We never got bothered at the beach to buy things.. Only when you're going towards the Lindo.. The market on the crossing (I think 2x a week) and rare occasions would want you to buy something. If you don't want anything, just say no thank you!! Johny (I hope I'm not spelling his name wrong), the main pool bartender is the best!! He is so knowledgeable, kind and respectful! He cares, works hard and treats you very well!! For our first experience, we have been blessed with good weather, a great resort and great people to remember!! I give the staff and everything about this experience/resorts an A+ in my books!! It gave us more than just a special vacation to remember by!! We were sad to go!! Thank you for the much-needed family time.

The resort was huge and there was lots to see and do. Our room was a good size and the housekeeping service excellent. We found that the majority of the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The pool was very large. Overall the facilities were kept very clean. The food was okay, not excellent or bad just okay. As a vegetarian it was slightly challenging but manageable. Meat eaters have tonnes of selection. The evening entertainment needs some improvement. Overall we had lots of fun and enjoyed ourselves. The weather was fantastic.

****The good Grounds impeccable & clean Food was great Entertainment team was amazing All service was top notch ****The bad Rooms are dark & view of the forest Pools are too cold Cannot get chairs at pool or beach

This a big beautiful resort with lots of various things to do. The beach is beautiful and enough beach chairs and umbrellas to find a good spot. Service is very good, and the food buffets are well prepared and nice and have a good variety of everything. The beach bar is great and I loved the beach waitress services. The beach snack bar has fast food type items that are appealing to kids. There is a concierge in many buildings so they can help anytime with anything. It was not that busy so no lines at buffets and service was amazing in all the restaurants. Drinks are not that great, just the standard type of resort concoctions, a little watery and the wine was pretty bad.The snake bar in the Maya section was the best. The only downside might be the size, and it was not that easy to get carts, there did not seen to be very many carts and you had to wait for the staff to call one to pick you up, almost faster to walk so it did become annoying. You really have to like walking if you want to take advantage of the other activities in the adjoining resorts. We are quite active so it was not a problem, but not sure how other people handle that. It looked like a fantastic place for children with the kids water park and many pools. The front lobby staff were amazing, i have never seen such pleasant service.

Stayed in Iberostar few times prior to the last visit. In time of booking requested room in the building 62, upper floor, in the wing facing Grand hotel. On arrival was given room on the upper floor in the building as requested but with balcony facing towards the pool (room 6265). Next day found out that even with the balcony door closed there was quite a bit of noise coming from the pool area. Concierge in the building accommodated my requeast and transferred me to the room facing Grand but on the floor bellow (room 6247). It was a mistake on my part: I could hear everything coming from the floor above, furniture moving, steps, doors etc. It was the most unpleasant experience during my stay. The concierges in the building did the excellent job, trying accommodate my requests. Especially want to mention: Claudia, Elizabeth, Alejandra, thank you all. One minor detail: there was no bottle opener in the room. Rooms are in good shape, very good cleaning staff, mini bar was always full. Good selection of international and local drinks at the main bar, JW Black Label, Don Julio tequila, Spanish champagne and wines etc. Main bar (I call it Pyramid Bar, but proper name starts with K), bartenders Johny, Alberto and others are very efficient and trying accommodate your requests in no time at all. With exception of noise (it could be just me as I spend a lot of time in hotels world over while travelling on business and very sensitive to the noise coming from outside) you are getting good value for your money. Good selection and quality of food in La Marina restaurant, La Tapia(?) during lunch, very good service. I corresponded with Tripcentral about Sunwing representative in the hotel. I brought back the card for requesting return transfer to the airport. Shall be happy to scan and to E-Mail it on your request.

This resort is exceptional. The food, the hospitality, and everything else. Awesome. One of the best holidays I've ever had. Everything I needed was there. There was no need to lease the resort. I did go see some attractions that I booked through the resort. All in all. I'm going back next winter.

We were upgraded to the Grand Paraiso. This resort exceeded our expectation from the service of the hotel staff, to the amazing grounds which was very clean. The warm tropical weather was icing on the cake

Last week was our 39th visit to this resort. Obviously, we love it there. This time, we tried out a couple of specialty restaurants within the 5 hotel complex which we had not tried before. The Cajun restaurant at Lindo turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Nice room, good service and the Jambalaya was delicious. However, the Italian restaurant at Paraiso Beach was beyond belief! Not only did I enjoy the best spaghetti and meatballs of all time but that may have been the best meal of my life! When I was already stuffed with the original serving, I asked the waiter for a bowl of the sauce just so I could continue enjoying that flavour! OMG, it was good! Will we be going back in February for our 40th visit AND 30th anniversary? Oh, yes! By the way, we have tried higher-end resorts like Sandals Antigua. What a waste of money that was. Iberostar Paraiso Maya IS paradise!

Overall we were impressed with the resort. The grounds were well kept and impressive. The many varieties of restaurants were quite enjoyable. There was a beautiful beach that we could enjoy in a multitude of ways. The only thing I did find unsatisfactory is that the level of service from waitstaff varied greatly throughout our stay

Overall a great resort vacation from the flight, hotel transfers and the resort itself. More than enough things to do and see at the resort for adults and kids. My son loved the kids club program. The dive shop at the resort was a bonus for getting in some great diving. The a la carte restaurants were great and food selection and quality was also great at the buffet restaurants. Pool choices were plentiful, and staff were very accommodating to help out. The resort is also fairly close to the airport so the bus ride is not long once you arrive. We will go back!

This is our second time to this resort and our recent visit it has surpassed our expections especially the new revamp of the Kidz Clubs which has many flexible activites for children young and older to be involved in. The whole Ibersostar ecosystem is very accommodating doesn't matter which resort you visit. I would definitely visit again. A great thanks to Tripcentral for making this trip a very memorable and trouble free. For anyone booking their next trip I would strongly suggest booking with them.

From the moment we arrived we received excellent service. Staff went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Beach , pools, restaurants and grounds were truly outstanding. Sergio and Johnny were the best bartenders!

We have always stayed at and enjoyed the Iberostar Paraiso Beach and finally got the chance to book a stay at the Maya. The Maya has a similar layout but everything is better. The rooms and pool are bigger, the a la cartes, buffets and bar areas have A/C. The food selection offers more choice and much is cooked fresh for you. The beach area is large and very clean although I would like to see the beach loungers replaced. The staff as always at the Iberostar are courteous, helpful and provide great service. No problems were encountered, no food or stomach issues, accidents or hassles. Probably have to start saving now for the next Maya stay!

Everything about the Iberostar Paraiso Maya is fantastic. Great, large and fresh clean rooms, incredible food, amazing beaches and stunning pools, but the best is the attentive and dedicated staff. What a vacation!!! Seven of us (4 adults, 3 kids of age ranging from 11 to 16 yrs old) went and we were all delighted. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommended. And finally as special thanks to Cassandra for making the booking and preparation for the trip very smooth. Outstanding customer service from Tripcentral.

This is a great resort for families with children. Two different kids pools, wave pool, ice cream bar, lazy river and play ground. The food was incredible and a good variety of vegetables, fish, meat and cheese. The home made bread and deserts are incredible.

This trip wasn't all about the journey - it started with our agent who worked with to find the perfect resort for us and the boys. From that point on it only got better. The resort was more amazing then we could have imagined. The staff were incredibly out going and easy to deal with and would do what they could to accommodate your needs. The rooms were clean and spacious. And the food !!! Well lets say I am still working on getting rid of the extra weight it gave me. Even our boys that can be finicky at the best of times had plenty to eat and never once complained about it. There really is far to much to describe to give you full details of how great this vacation was. From the front desk staff, to the guys greeting you at the door. From the housekeeping staff smiling all the time and asking what you might need for your room. To the entertainment and wait staff knowing my boys by first name and addressing that way to make them feel special. They say that Disney Resorts are the happiest places on earth....after this week I beg to differ. Its the only place I have ever been where on the first night there I said to my wife....we will be back here again. So much to do and be involved it you never have to leave the resort !! Iberostar staff - well done !!! Thank you for the memories

Everything is great except for the flintstone style bedrock beds. The staff gave us some foam to soften it which helped. Don't forget the sunscreen. They charge an arm and a leg on the resort The rooms are starting to show their age.

We stayed here for the 3rd time and enjoyed our self as usual. It was nice to see some changes like the Casino and the Star Cafe. The Food at the Bufffet was amazing, the a la cartes can use a bit of a change though. Trip Central made the process effortless, this was the easiest trip I ever booked. Our Agent Doug provided amazing service. Our Transat rep at the resort was a bit pushy, he called us (2) mornings in a row at 8:15 to book excisions. Other then that an amazing trip.

The Iberostar hotel and the staff that work there were amazing. They went out of their way to please you. The service, food, entertainment, spa and the beach were wonderful. We will definitely return again.

Great resort for families! It was our first family trip with our two year old son and it was great for kids! The rooms and grounds are very nice and clean. The service is A1! The staff is very nice! I recommend this resort in a heart beat! Will go back for sure!

Really nice resort, well maintained and updated, and giving the cozy, welcoming feeling. Staff was really nice, just there to ensure you are having a good time without being overbearing. Just right. The grounds were not too large to need a ride from one end to the other and spacious enough to not feel overcrowded. Again, a good balance. Food was good, and varied.

The resort is beatiful, the service is excellent.We relly like that it is a family friendly resort, my daughter had a great time, the food was amazing, lots of variety. We had a really nice vacation, planning to come back next year.

Favorites parts: - The hotel - Coffee bars +++ - Seafood restaurant and its desert bar! It was amazing...so many choices - The Beach - The staff were friendly - The Grounds were fun and well kept...not sure how else to describe...felt very "grand" - The details in the rooms like the charger for different cell phones attached to the alarm clock/phone were cool. Even details like a light that turns on in the safe was cool. Good parts: - Buffet restaurants (Love their hazelnut chocolate crepes!) - A la carte restaurants - Popcorn available in the evening at main bar near lobby - Can visit other attached resorts Disappointments: -They forgot it was our honeymoon or were never notified as we had asked when we booked with tripcentral. At the reception they said "congratulations" and that was it. We actually had to provide proof we had just gotten married. When we finally did provide proof they left a bottle of champagne in our fridge two days later and that was it...very uneventful and truly a disapointment from what was implied. If you are looking for special attention or details on your honeymoon don't go here. We still enjoyed ourselves because the resort does not make a honeymoon! - The beds are pretty hard. Took a few days and we got used to it. - The Spa needs a lot of work on the beds and in the baths. Tiles loose and probably hard to get clean since they had done some patch work.
