A Tropical Paradise Awaits
From the moment we arrived at Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya, we were captivated by its lush greenery, vibrant colors, and serene atmosphere. This resort is part of the Iberostar Paraiso complex, which includes five distinct properties: Paraiso Beach, Paraiso Del Mar, Paraiso Lindo, Paraiso Grand (adults-only), and Paraiso Maya.
What sets the Maya apart? It’s the top-tier choice for families, complete with a Mayan-themed design, spacious accommodations, and incredible amenities. From replicas of Chichen Itza to family-friendly pools and activities, the Maya Resort offers an immersive experience that blends luxury with fun.
Spacious and Comfortable Accommodations
We stayed in a Junior Suite Superior near the main pool, and it was worth every penny of the upgrade. The suite featured a spacious layout, a massive jacuzzi tub, a hammock on the balcony, and plenty of room for our family. Pro tip: Opt for a third-floor suite to avoid potential humidity issues common on the ground floor.
Endless Fun at the Pools and Beach
The pool areas were a highlight of our trip! The resort boasts:
• A lazy river and wave pool.
• A pirate ship water park for younger kids.
• A water slide park for older kids and adults.
• A massive free-form pool with a waterfall and swim-up bar.
The beach is equally stunning, with soft white sand and crystal-clear waters. While there are a few rocky areas (water shoes recommended), there’s no shortage of shaded palapas and loungers. Plus, the beach bar and snack bar serving fresh paella daily made it easy to relax and recharge by the ocean.
Family-Friendly Activities at Star Camp
One of the biggest perks for families is Star Camp, Iberostar’s kids’ program. Our kids (ages 5 and 7) loved it so much they attended every day. With engaging activities, new friends, and nightly performances, it gave us some unexpected adult time to relax and explore the resort.
Dining Delights for Every Palate
The dining options at Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya exceeded our expectations. Here are a few standout experiences:
• Tepanyaki at La Geisha: Interactive and flavorful.
• French cuisine at Bistro L’Etoile: A sophisticated treat.
• Texas-style steakhouse at El Rancho: Perfect for comfort food.
Pro tip: While the resort previously required dinner reservations, Iberostar is moving to a no-reservation policy starting summer 2024.
Drinks and Convenience
From premium cocktails at the lobby bar to refreshing drinks at the pool and beach bars, the resort makes sure you’re never thirsty. Bring an insulated cup for your beverages, and don’t forget to tip—it makes a difference!
Additionally, the Iberostar app proved invaluable for managing dinner reservations, checking activity schedules, and communicating with staff.
Final Thoughts
Our stay at Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya was nothing short of incredible. The resort’s spacious accommodations, top-tier pools, delicious food, and family-friendly amenities made it an unforgettable trip.
