Iberostar Waves Paraíso Beach - All Inclusive

Great staff, brilliant facilities. Love the gym, especially Sergio who takes the morning fitness classes. It has a good weights area, plenty of of cardio machines and superb spin bike studio. If you enjoy staying in shape whilst on holiday, or just want to burn off some of the all inclusive indulgence, then look no further.

Die Ruhe in der Natur

Con: -Buffet is outside, hot and lots of mosquitos. Bring bug spray! -Book a la carte reservations on app at 7am day of or walk in restaurants could have a waitlist. -Coatis out of control, don’t feed them or eat at the beach. -There was often a mix up with buffet nights compared to app. -We did the VIP breakfast and received 50$US towards excursion, be prepared they are very pushy. A la cartes: -Smoke house: wouldn’t recommend. chicken thighs ok, desserts were good -Mediterranean: apps and dessert good -Hacienda: Really good, similar food as Mexican buffet night. -French: Must go!

Staff is super sweet and helpful, the property is beautiful, the pool is enormous and so much fun to swim. I highly recommend enjoying a drink at a swim up bar.

Amazing resort. They should open access to bars across all resorts. Also they need to have a 24/7 bar and food service. Closing everything at 1am is diabolical. Besides everything closing at 1am my experience at this resort was exquisite.

Buckle in for a honest review from someone who visits a lot of resorts (with the wife and one 16 year old. The property is massive. I had a 10 minute walk to the beach from my room. They have golf cart shuttles running around. A lot are nice and pick you up, a couple will run you over when you try to hitch a ride. The property grounds are a beautiful jungle setting and well maintained. I stayed at beach / del mar side (poor people side). Check in was normal, then to the "concierge" to "learn" about the property. All they want is to get you into a time share meeting. They will waste all you time until you get up a leave. The rooms are showing their age (showers are worn, leaking, tub was cracked, inches of caulk covering everything) All the restaurants are outside, Jungle mosquitos. Dinner buffet is for the mosquitos to eat you, not so you can eat the buffet. We liked the food. we mainly stayed with the buffet. Lots of bacon, eggs, guacamole, and well marinated meats. (and rabbit food) Hit or miss is the theme of this resort. Sometimes the waiters were awesome. Several times I had to get up and get my own water from the waiter stand(after waiting 10 minutes and eating half my food) Lots of entertainment and they include everyone (most of the time) They did ignore our request to join once and went out and gathered Spanish speaking families instead. nice gym. The tiers of the hotel is just petty. They won't even give you mosquito repellent unless you upgrade.

Great stay! I was able to have some 1-2-1 swim lessons with Jorge from fit & fun and would recommend! He was very helpful, a great coach, made me feel comfortable and I progressed tremendously in a very short amount of time, thank you Jorge

Clean rooms and excellent staff

Our experience at Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach was very disappointing. The air conditioning in the rooms is so loud that it’s impossible to sleep, and you cannot turn it off. Room cleaning was inconsistent – they ignored requests and only sometimes came later. The food was very poor quality; lunch leftovers were served again at dinner, nothing fresh or interesting. Mosquitoes were everywhere, making it hard to relax outside, and even the children could not sleep because of bites. Service overall was terrible – the staff was unhelpful and unfriendly. At checkout they even demanded extra money for “cleaning services” that were never provided. We traveled as a family of ten people, and all of us had the same issues in every room. This resort is definitely not worth the price and I would not recommend it to anyone
