We arrived April 17th 2026 for a 1 week stay. We took a private Transfer from Cancun airport to the resort with Canada Transfer, and they were fabulous, they were on time both ways and very polite, professional, and amazing drivers. It's worth the extra money to have private transportation, highly recommend. Upon arrival to the resort we were in awe, the beauty of the resort is outstanding! Pictures do not do it justice. We also loved the smell of the lobby, it was clean and very refreshing. We checked in, but we were early, and our room was not ready. Reception did try to upsell us to an upgraded room, but we politely declined as we already booked a near pool room. We had a couple of hours to wait for room, so we were given our bracelet ( which also was room key) nice touch, and were told to enjoy the resort and check back in at 3pm. We went for lunch at the buffet and was very impressed with the service and food options and taste. Very wide selection of food for every taste. You will definitely not go hungry here lol. The service was top notch at buffet. We walked around resort, and was amazed at the lushness and beautiful grounds, they really do an amazing job at keeping everything so beautiful, it's like a fantasy world. At 3pm we went back to Reception and our room was ready. We were given a room in building 53 top floor as requested. Our room over looked the pool. The room is nothing fancy, but everything worked, and it served it's purpose. I would like to just mention the one thing that we did not like or appreciate was at the Concierge, when they were explaining the layout of resort, they also tried to get us to sign up for the membership breakfast, when we politely declined, they kept pushing, and it was very annoying ( NO IS NO) that was a turn off. The resort is large, but once you figure out where everything is it really doesn't feel that big. There are 5 hotels within the complex Joia (Adults only), Maya ( Family friendly) Lindo this is where we stayed ( family friendly), and the 2 lower tiered resorts Beach and DelMar( stunning grounds very jungle like) Joia guests are allowed to use all the facilities, Maya is allowed to use all the facilities except Joia, Lindo can use all facilities except Joia and Maya , with the exception of 3 restaurants ( El Rancho ( Steakhouse), and Geshia ( Japanese) and Olivetti ( Italian) we went to only 2 the Steakhouse, and Japanese both delicious. We could of had the Italian but didn't feel the need. The beach is beautiful nice soft white sand, and plenty of shade and loungers on both beach and around pool. The seaweed was moderate but they did a fabulous job at cleaning it up each day, there is a nice boardwalk on the beach you can walk along the entire beach complex. We also loved that the beach as well as the resort itself was wheelchair accessible, for anyone in need. Please take a little time out of your holiday to checkout the Coral Lab located by the dive shop on beach, very wonderful fellow, the lab doesn't look like much but is such an important aspect of Iberostar's passion for sustainability. The fellow who runs the lab explains everything he does to help reconstruct the Coral reef in the ocean at the resort. It is an important element to the resort and ocean, so please check it out. We love Iberostar because of their commitment to the environment, and the zero use of plastic, they have filtered water stations throughout the resort so bring a usable water bottle, and usable straw if you need one. Wild life is plenty there but be aware, there are many many Coaties ( raccoon like) if you're eating by pool or on beach they will come right up to you and take your food right out of your hand, so please be aware of this. I recommend not eating by pool or beach, and please do not feed them, as there are signs all over asking to not to feed the animals. I can't get over how clean they keep the resort especially the many washrooms that are around the resort. We had no trouble getting loungers or reservations with restaurants, or walk up restaurants, but we were there in mid April, so I'm sure that's probably why. The staff there go above and beyond to make your stay pleasurable, even when you're walking they will drive by in their carts and ask if you would like a ride. There is a Mall that has food that is also inclusive to the guests, so please check it out. Best chuuros EVER over there!! The nightly shows were fun, if you're looking for a party resort this is not it, after the nightly shows everything is quiet, which we liked. Activities around the main pool were fabulous the animation teams were very engaging, and kept things fun in the day around pool. We had wonderful service from a particular waiter in the buffet, and we sat in his section each day, he knew what we drank and had it ready for us, he was very attentive and always a pleasure to speak with. BIG SHOUTOUT TO ARMANDO SALADO REYES!!!! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU, we also loved all the bellboys too, especially ANTHONY! We will 1000% be back because of these reasons #1 The staff are amazing folks, their so friendly, positive, and helpful in everyday. #2 The cleanliness and up keep of the resort is top notch! #3 The food is plentiful and delicious, high quality, and we're foodies lol. # 4 The resorts commitment to sustainability, cause that's an important element to our oceans and planet. Thank you Iberostar Parisio Lindo for welcoming us, and making us feel at home. This is our new home away from home!! See you soon!! Love from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️

“A great family resort”

Our family vacation to the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo in May 2026 was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We travelled as a group of 10, spanning multiple generations, and the resort accommodated us beautifully and comfortably. Our son and his family of five had adjoining rooms. It proved to be an excellent choice for a family getaway. One of the highlights for our family was the kids club. It was such a nice bonus to have available for our 5 energetic grandchildren with a variety of interests and sports abilities. What we especially appreciated was the flexibility — the kids were never pressured to stay all day and were free to pick and choose the activities they wanted to participate in, which made the experience enjoyable and relaxed for everyone. One day all that we took advantage of was the water slide event. But nevertheless the kids were invited to participate in the evening program in the theater where moms and dads could watch. The grounds throughout the resort were beautifully manicured and very well maintained. There was also plenty of shade available around the property, thanks to the well-maintained palapas, which we appreciated during the hotter parts of the day. The food was consistently very good, with enough variety to satisfy our group, though I would not describe the resort as a destination for serious foodies seeking exceptional dining experiences. That said, for a family-focused resort, the dining options were more than adequate and enjoyable. Our kids really enjoyed the freedom of choosing whatever they wanted at the buffet! Overall, this is a very good family resort that offers a welcoming atmosphere, excellent amenities for children and families, and a beautiful setting for making lasting memories together.
