We just got back from our 7 day trip. I was a little disappointed. The service was fantastic. The accommodations beautiful. The food not so good. We made reservations and tried several different restaurants and all were consistently terrible. The quality of food was more like cruise ship food--beautiful presentation, but quality poor. There were several times when items listed on the menu were not available. The grill by the beach served hot dogs and hamburgers. I'm not sure about the hot dogs, but it wasn't beef. The hamburger tasted like a soybean burger. The guacamole was excellent! The bed was hard. Snorkel--not so good. If you paid for the snorkel trip--much better. All paid activities were great except for the fishing--too rough waters and very little fish! You couldn't keep the fish you caught! The layout was very confusing. It took about a day to figure out how to get around. We got lost seveal times.

This resort far exceeded my expectations. From dining to entertainment to service, my wife and I were treated like kings. Beautiful beaches, pools and landscape made our stay unforgettable. The Star Friends people(Daniel & Ivan) made the entertainment experience 5 star. Iwould highly recommend this destination for honeymoons, anniversaries and family vacations.

Hi my family is planning a trip in June and we are torn between the Pariso Maya and the Pariso Lindo. Please let me know which hotel you thought was the nicer of the two.Thank you.

This is a fantastic review. My husband and I spent a week at this resort for our honeymoon in 2005. It was a dream vacation with great staff, service, dining and amenities. I would highly recommend the Iberostar Paraiso Maya.
One thing that stands out in my memory is that the staff came in to clean our room one day. We stepped out onto our balcony and when we came back in, we were surprised to discover they had prepared a bubble bath with flower petals in it. Great service like that would make me go back in a heartbeat.
