Description

The all-inclusive Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar resort is located between Playa del Carmen and Puerto Morelos, 25 km from Cancun Airport and just an hour from the Mayan city of Tulum. This colonial-style resort offers luxurious stays for families, couples, and groups. Choose the perfect room for your trip to Mexico, whether you prefer to be near the beach and pool, enjoy the best tropical views from your balcony, or have space to accommodate up to five people. Take advantage of the resort's upscale facilities and services, including a fitness center, a scuba diving center, an incredible spa (fees apply), and a free shuttle. With an on-site nightclub and various entertainment venues, guests can keep the fun going late into the night. Professional shows every evening provide entertainment for adults and children alike, featuring music, dancing, magic, juggling, and more. You can also sip a cocktail in one of the hotel's sumptuous bars.

Spend the day on the white-sand Playa Paraiso, gazing at the azure waters while relaxing on a lounge chair under a palapa, or, for an additional fee ($), indulge in the luxurious comfort of a Balinese bed. The beach also offers guests a variety of water sports. The resort boasts four large pools, among the largest in the area, providing ample space for guests who prefer to unwind under the cascading waterfalls and for those who prefer to enjoy the many activities on offer, including aqua aerobics and introductory scuba diving lessons. Order your favorite drink at the poolside bar before basking in the sun on a poolside lounge chair. The three main pools are completely surrounded by lush vegetation, and adorable animals such as coatis, turtles, peacocks, swans, flamingos, and more roam freely. Visitors can also see turtles, lotus flowers and mangroves in a natural cenote!

From morning till night, guests of all ages can find a balance between rest, leisure, and fun. Younger children can enjoy a children's pool and playground. The Mini Club (ages 4 to 15) offers an activity program divided into age groups, where they can learn to cook in the mini-kitchen, play video games, bounce on trampolines, visit the Kangaroo Area, and much more! While the kids are having a blast, parents can enjoy a wide variety of land-based activities, including cycling, tennis, basketball, archery, and yoga. In terms of culinary options, the various restaurants will take your taste buds on a journey beyond Mexico, through Brazil, Italy, and Japan. Is your child a bit of a picky eater? Little ones (and parents) will be delighted to know that the hotel restaurants offer children's menus!

Résumé des avis

The cleanliness of the resort, rooms, and facilities is highly praised. The staff is commended for their friendliness and excellent service. Furthermore, the setting is considered beautiful, well-maintained, and lush with vegetation. The food is frequently described as excellent and varied, both at the buffets and in the à la carte restaurants. However, the beach is sometimes affected by seaweed or rough seas.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Del Mar

Overall, our stay was a wonderful experience. The surroundings are stunning, the restaurants are excellent, the entertainment is great, and the beach is beautiful. While seaweed is present, the hotel works hard to keep the area clean. The only downside was the arrival reception; the service was incredibly slow, even with pre-registration, and it took over three hours to get our room. I think the hotel is well aware of airline arrivals and could do a better job of organizing guest check-in.

Dans l'ensemble, notre séjour a été une très belle experiences, lieux avec une nature saisissant, tres bon restaurants, belle animation et belle plage, naturellement les sagasses sont présente mais l'hotel travail acharnement pour nettoyer les lieux.
Le point négatif est la reception d'arriver, service très long, meme avec un préenregistrement et plus de 3h00 pour avoir notre chambre. Je pense que l'hôtel connais très bien les arrivés des compagnie aérienne et il pourrait mieux organiser l'accueil des clients.

Have a great week!
Belle semaine!

The pools are amazing! The buffet is varied, the room is large and very clean. We loved our week at the hotel! The only downside is that the sea is full of sargassum seaweed, but the pools more than make up for it. In October: Don't forget your mosquito repellent, especially in the evening as there are a lot of mosquitoes and the buffet isn't indoors…

Les piscines sont extraordinaires! Le buffet est varié, la chambre est grande et très propre.
Nous avons adoré notre semaine à l’hôtel!
Seul point négatif la mer est rempli de sargasses, mais les piscines compensent amplement
En octobre : N’oubliez pas votre chasse moustique, surtout le soir il y a en a beaucoup et le buffet n’est pas à l’intérieur…

Affordable and high-quality stay
Séjour économique et de qualité

Everything was perfect! The food was varied and delicious. The resort offers many activities included in the package. The housekeeping staff offered to clean our room every day! The only downside: many people try to sell you things within the resort. Some are polite and not pushy, but others are very insistent. That said, the resort staff are very friendly and helpful 🙂 I highly recommend a stay in September (it only rained for 2 or 3 hours in 5 days), the weather was beautiful (39 degrees Celsius), and it's economical!

Tout était parfait ! La nourriture est variée et délicieuse. Le complexe propose de nombreuses activités incluses dans le forfait. Le personnel d'entretien nous a proposé de faire le ménage dans la chambre à tous les jours !

Seul bémol : beaucoup de personnes essaient de vous vendre des choses au sein du complexe. Certains sont corrects et ne forcent pas la main, mais d'autres sont très insistants.

Cela dit, les employés du complexe sont très aimables et serviables 🙂

Je recommande vivement un séjour en septembre (il n'a plu que 2 ou 3 heures en 5 jours), il a fait beau (39 degrés) et c'est économique !

Magnificent hotel
Magnifique hôtel

We loved our experience at this hotel. The staff were friendly and attentive. The buffet and restaurants were delicious. The pools were clean and the staff cleaned them regularly. The walkways to the various sites were almost all shaded by the canopy, which was fantastic. The only downside was the presence of sargassum seaweed on the beach, but that didn't stop us from swimming. I'll definitely go back.

Nous avons adoré notre experience à cet hôtel. Le personnel était souriant et attentionné. Le buffet et les restaurenta étaient succulent. Les piscines étaient propres et le personnel les nettoyait regulièrement. Les passages pour se rendre au divers sites étaient presque tous couvert par la canopé, c'était génial. Le seul hic était la presence de sargasse sur la plage, mais cela nous a pas empêché de nous baigner. Jy retournerai.
