Iberostar Paraiso Del Mar Resort Reviews

The Iberostar Paraiso Del Mar is a short 20 minute ride from Cancun airport. Guests arriving to the lobby will be cordially greeted and surrounded by lush gardens. To the delight of kids young and old the lobby is also surrounded by bright pink flamingos and sparkling gold fish. Walkways to the resort entrance seem to float amongst the lilly ponds.

The Iberostar Paraiso Del Mar sits on one side of the huge pool and it's twin property, the Iberostar Paraiso Beach sits on the opposite side. These resorts are the most affordable of the five resorts that comprise this property. Guests can use facilities at both of these resort but not at any other resorts within this complex.

Iberostar Paraiso Del Mar resort offers a perfect balance of beach and pool fun. Families can enjoy 3/4 of a mile of white sand beach and bright blue waters. There is also a 3,000 foot pool that winds thru the middle of the property. The pool is spotted with waterfalls and swim up bars and islands.

There are 7 restaurants on this side of the complex that guest of the Iberostar Paraiso Del Mar and Iberostar Paraiso Beach can enjoy. Reservations are required and there are a limit to the number of nights guest can eat in the ala carte restaurants here.

If there are any down sides to this resort or considerations parents need to make it would be....

-This is a HUGE property so pack your walking shoes. There is a shuttle train that helps to transport guests around the complex but expect lots of walking. We don't consider this resort to be very stroller friendly and we don't recommend it for guest with mobility issues.

-Rooms at the Iberostar Paraiso Beach are housed in eleven 3-story buildings. These buildings do not offer elevators so something to keep in mind with small children. We can request room locations on lower floors but we cannot guarantee room location.

- Take note of the arial photo of the pool above. This resort is built back away from the beach so it doesn't really offer ocean views.
