Iberostar Paraiso

[MagsieMexico]

There isn't a thread about these ones yet, so adding here, people can hopefully add information and thoughts, info about past visits and such here.

 

So, from my research, there are 4 Iberostars all together in Playa Paraiso, which is nearer to Cancun, and then 2 further ones in Playa del Carmen.

 

See this link for the names and virtual tours:

According to this comparison site: Paraiso Maya is the nicest, then Lindo, then del mar and beach.

The wedding pictures from all look nice, but it's hard to know because I think they mix the pictures up between the resorts.

 

Here's the homepage, wedding link:

Anyone have comments or info on these?

THanks.

I really like the look of the Maya. It was definitly one of my top picks. Someone from my friends got married there, and they loved it - had absolutly no compliants. One of the things I liked about it, is that there is a bit of a range in prices for the resorts around the Maya, so if someone could not afford the Maya they could stay at a different one and still be close by (but, if I understand correctly, I don't think the guests from 1 or 2 of the other properties can come onto the Maya property - but the Maya property guests can go on their property)

 

But my FI scrapped it last night - because he thought the beach would be too busy with such big resorts so close together....I was sad to see the Maya leave our short list

Yes, it certainly is a big resort, though that can be fun too, for everyone having their space.

 

And yes, Maya and Lindo are more expensive and can use all four, while Del Mar and Beach are cheaper and cannot use Maya and Lindo.

 

Also, they have a brand new one opening this month to go with the other four. Haven't heard much about that yet, but I think it is called the Grand.

Good info Margaret!

Here's a link to a resort map, helps to understand the layout of the four hotels

So, it looks like there are each in one long vertical line going from the beach inland, and all next to each other. So really, i think staying in the Maya or the Lindo would be almost the same, looks like the pools and such are shared...

I just reserved the Lindo for my wedding this October. I have not been there and would love to see pictures if anyone has any they can share. I don't find that there is a great selection of photos on the website and I am trying to get as much information as possible! I'm trying to pull this off in 4 months, and want to make sure I made the right decision!
