Iberostar Waves Paraíso Beach

We first found this hotel in 2012 and we liked it so much that we always wanted to come back. Finally we made in 13 years later and the hotel and service are still the best. Very nice hotel, clean, a lot of different activities, for kids and adults. Every night there is a show. Plenty of food and different variety of cuisines. We met concierge Manuel at Waves Paraíso Beach and he was very helpful and amazing, always available for us. Looking forward to come back soon!

We were welcomed with a smile and warm greeting. Any issues we had ie safe or blow dryers were taken care of immediately. Brenda at the concierge was absolutely fantastic. The pool was very accessible and have to mention Frank the bartender next to the ice cream shop. He made our day everyday with his welcome and attention to our needs. My highlight was being able to cook with Chef Octavio. He was alway around in the restaurant and cooked the best food of our trip at pool side. We shared recipes and ideas. Thank you my Friend. We did 10 days and that would be the perfect amount of time. Looking forward to coming back someday.

We chose this resort for two reasons. Firstly, we have always found Iberostar to be good, and secondly we are SCUBA divers, and there is a Dressel dive shop on site. The staff were all very friendly, and at the concierge desk Alejandra and Nehemias were very friendly and helpful. The grounds are well maintained and we enjoyed the numerous encounters with iguanas, coatimundis, capybaras, peacocks and other birds.

We found Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach to be a very nice, fun, and relaxing resort. The rooms and pool are kept very clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The Waves is on the lower end line of Iberostar resorts, but don’t let that deter you - the food and facilities are top notch. The only downside is you do not have access to other Iberostar facilities like you do if you stay in the higher end resorts. We went snorkeling and the crew at the dive shop on the Beach grounds are incredible. My wife snorkeled for the first time and she was extremely pleased with the instruction and attentiveness. I highly recommend their trip - less than $100 per person and you pay for time in the water and not for a party boat. If you want some dishes not found in the buffets, ask for chef Octavia. We showed interest in traditional Mexican cuisine and he seemed excited to share his craft. He made us tortas, which is a common dish for people in Mexico but you seldom find on menus in the US. They were fantastic, but way to huge! He also made us ceviche and a few other dishes of his choice. The entertainment is minimal except for about once a week where they feature a fire show, a circus, or something similar. Otherwise it is the staff making up shows (contests, trivia, karaoke, etc.) so don’t expect a lot of quality shows or music. Finally, one word of warning. When you check in you will be directed to a concierge who will acquaint you with the grounds. The problem is the conversation will be extended to try to steer you into a club membership purchase. Especially avoid Manuel - I found him to be untrustworthy through personal experience. In conclusion, this resort is overall very nice and is a good value for the price.

This place is huge. You have to walk miles to get from one spot to the next. They have shuttles but they never seem to be around when you need one or they're all going in the wrong direction or you get told it's not for you. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The shower was hard to get in and out off because the sides are too high and too wide with no hand rails. The food at all of the restaurants was very good. The beach was very nice. The pool was huge. I'd look for something more intimate next time.
