This is my 17th All Inclusive hotel I'd been to in the area. Overall, it was good. Location, facility, amenities. Some may have been slightly better, other slightly worse, so overall, average. Average, in my mind is not bad. The industry standards for these hotels are high. The 2 things that were most disappointing for me were food (average quality an variety) and kids club (staff had trouble connecting with kids and engaging)

Very limited food options. When we arrived for our 7 day stay we were told all the restaurants were out of reservations for the first three days. They also told us we were limited to three reservations for the whole week. The buffets had the same food every day and got boring. It was extremely hard to get chairs by the pool as most were reserved by 830 am. The lights and outlets turn off after 3 minutes of no movement in the room so you couldn’t lay in bed and watch TV or read with the light on. They restricted how low we could turn the ac. I will not return.

A la carte dining was pretty good but make sure that your time in advance. Also, you cannot book all nights you want, it's limited based on the amount of time you spend at the hotel. We spent 7 nights and were able to book only 3 times at a la carte restaurants. Pools were cold, to the degree that even kids didn't want to be in the water. It was not enough chaise longs both at the beach and poolside. They have a ton of Balinese beds you can book for money ($20-30 a day depends on location) but they stay empty and take up the room where chaise longs could be. Long lines at the pool and beach bars. Cocktails were not good. The territory in large, very green and beautiful with a ton of wildlife - agouti, coati, peacocks, spider monkeys in one area. that was probably the best. The beach is good, no big waves no big rocks (but still some some be careful). There were some seaweed but not much and hotel personnel took pretty good care of it.

My husband and I booked Iberostar Paraíso Beach initially, but we ended up "upgrading" to a beach front room at Del Mar when we checked in. I did love our beach front room, the location ended up being perfect. We were close to the pool, beach, and the lunch buffet, nice and convenient. We were disappointed in a couple experiences, mainly the freezing cold pool and the nonexistent service pool side and beach side. Maybe we've been spolied at other all inclusive locations, as our prior experiences had wait staff pool side with opportunities to order food and drinks. At Iberostar you have to go to the bar for your own drinks and there are VERY minimal snacks at the beachside food shack, which you also need to go and serve yourself. If you're looking for more spoils perhaps this resort won't be for you. I can only speak for the resort we stayed at, as there are 5 resorts on the entire property, with three different levels. Maybe the higher levels would have better service? Overall we had a blast, we always do regardless. I would not book here again though, not at the lower level resorts anyway.

At first, we did not like this hotel since they charged us $580 for all-inclusive for one guest for 4 days. Before we arrived, we talked to Expedia and to the hotel management about the extra meals for my daughter. When I phoned the hotel, they acted like it was easy and nothing much to pay. When we arrived, their song changed. We made a mistake by selecting 3 people to stay with 2 beds and forgot to mention about the all-inclusive and booked only for 2 (all-inclusive meals). So, we had a bad start. However, this is a great hotel, and we enjoyed our stay. There are several dining options, and the food was great. We went out to the town only once and came back since there was not much to get since all the shops were catering to tourists and were way higher priced compared to other local shops. Since the hotel is so large, they provide golfcarts to give transportation. It takes almost 5-10 minutes to wait to catch a golf cart. Staff were friendly and nice; the rooms were clean. Whenever we needed towels, cleaning staff were there on the floor, and we could ask them for towels or to clean the room. .

We love this complex and the beach hotel but the rooms really need an update. The Dining, entertainment, beach and pools are outstanding but the rooms are in need of an update and seem rundown. There was a gross stain on the futon in the room. The AC was set to about 72 and no colder so it was hot and humid and must in the room. It’s tight for a family of four. We’ve been a couple times though and outside of the rooms it’s a great place and a good time. If we go again I may see if there’s a suite we can opt for.

The resort is big and is great for large parties/family trips, but was a little overwhelming managing around that for our party of 2 when it came to mass reserving of chairs with the large families, checking in for reservations etc. The food was okay, it was expected for an all-inclusive package. There’s a ton of wildlife around out in the open. I wouldn’t bother paying for cabanas as there is no system for it and you will walk up to random people sitting at yours with no staff around to dissolve the situation - you must wake up early for chairs in both pool and beach area. Overall it can be a great resort but should be mindful of your tolerance to large groups, children, wildlife, and cultural barriers.

The property is beautiful and the grounds are well maintained. The resort is huge and depending on which building you are staying in there could be a long walk. However, they have shuttles that run around every 10 mins or so offering rides back and forth to various locations throughout the resort you are staying in. There are various types of wildlife walking around the resort which was fun to see. The pool didn’t have enough seating to accommodate the amount of guests they have and same goes for the beach. I often found myself leaving and trying to return at another time because I didn’t have a place to go. The food was mostly okay, but I had concerns about the Buffett being sanitary and food being kept at the correct temperature. I got violently ill and spent the last few days of my vacation locked in my room because I couldn’t be away from a bathroom for more than a few minutes. I’m home now and still having that issue unfortunately. I was able to call a doctor to my room who offered some treatment which was convenient, but be forewarned that any medical services needed are at your expense and they don’t come cheap. They also don’t offer bottled water, only jugs for you to fill from what they claim is a filtration fountain. That could have also been my problem. From my personal experience, I wouldn’t return but people with tougher stomachs would probably have a great time if they don’t end up glued to the toilet.

Checking in was horrible and dishonest. Iberostar charged me $383 dollar extra fee for my son, claiming that there was a descripancie in the booking caused by Expedia. They also suggest the guests to not use Expedia, claiming that Expedia take advantage of customers by charging high hidden fees.

Very nice place. Fairy noisy with construction in several places. But it’s necessary to keep the place up to date. Food is great. Would go again.

There's not a ton that's positive to say about the resort. The food is terrible. We knew that before booking. If you want a spot on the beach, forget about it. Even when waking up before 8 AM to try to get a chair all the loungers are "occupied" by people leaving their towels. Most don't come back until about noon. This is the second Iberostar we've tried where the person who checks you in resorts to telling you they'll get fired if you don't upgrade to some additional package. Nothing like checking into a hotel only for them to outright tell you you're in the cheapest possible experience and you shouldn't be surprised when you're unsatisfied. Honestly it's laughable. We booked our trip here knowing all of this, just wanting a place to chill on the beach and relax and unwind... and still we left feeling so disappointed in ourselves for not knowing how bad it would be. If you have kids and just want to hang around an obnoxious pool drinking terrible alcohol this probably would still be a good fit.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write to us and share this review of your recent holiday at Iberostar Paraiso Beach.It is saddening to read that we were not able to meet your expectations.On the other hand, allow us to mention that the standard of our cuisine is very important to us at Iberostar. Our goal is to constantly surpass ourselves, continually introducing new ideas and concepts to our gastronomy. We regret that we did not completely satisfy you, and we will pass on your disappointment to our team. Also, we have taken note of your comments regarding your disappointment with our staff. We will pass them on to the head of the department, to review and improve our service. Nevertheless, we would like to emphasize that at Iberostar service orientation and personalized attention to our customers are of the utmost importance.Furthermore, allow us to explain that we do have a policy that forbids reserving the sunbeds and in the event someone reserves them for more than one hour without using them, our Security staff will kindly remove towels and personal items from them. We regret that some of our guests do not well-follow this policy, however, everyday our Security staff does everything in their hands to verify this internal policy is being followed. Although it would appear this was not the perfect fit for you, we hope you will join us again at one of our many other beautifully located Iberostar hotels for your next holiday.Best regards,

Every staff member was amazing. Reservation only restaurants that were mostly empty refusing to allow walk in's to dine was baffling and inconvenient. Up charges for way too many unexpected amenities that should have been included in our "all inclusive" reservation.

Thank you for choosing Iberostar Paraiso Beach for your recent holiday.We sincerely appreciate your words towards our staff who are characterized by their kind and helpful manner. We will congratulate them on your behalf and we are delighted that they could enhance your stay with us.On the other hand, we regret you had some difficulties with your dinner reservations, however, allow us to explain that our restaurants operate under a system of different seating times planned to create a personalized and fine dining experience. Also, we do not fill our restaurant to ensure our guests have the best experience and they are not rushed, and at the same time new seatings do not get delayed. For this reason the restaurants can give the impression of being empty. We regret this meant an inconvenience for you. Once more we thank you for choosing Iberostar and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.Best regards,
