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.

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.

Sunny week
Semaine de soleil

This is our second visit to this hotel. We enjoyed it just as much as our first time. The grounds are beautiful with their trails, making you feel like you're in the jungle. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. It's not a super modern hotel, but more in a colonial style. We were there during the low season, so some of the à la carte restaurants were unavailable. We tried the Italian and Smoke House restaurants, which were good, but our favorite was the French restaurant, which doesn't require reservations. The staff is friendly and most of them are smiling. The buffet is very good, with plenty of choice and a different theme each day. The sun was with us all week, and the temperature was perfect if you like it hot, around 29 to 30 degrees Celsius. We knew there would be sargassum seaweed, but we were still able to enjoy the beach for at least four days. I would definitely go back and recommend it. The only downside is the pool, which could be better maintained.

Nous sommes a notre deuxième visites a cette hôtel. Nous avons apprécié autant que notre première fois. Le site est magnifique avec ces sentiers, comme si on était dans la jungle. Les chambres sont propre et le lit confortable. Ce n'est pas un hôtel super moderne plus style colonial.
Nous sommes en basse saison il y avait des restaurants a la carte de non disponible. Nous avons été à l'italien et smoke house qui était bien mais notre préféré est le français qui n'a pas besoin de réservation.
Le personnel est gentil et la plupart souriant. Pour le buffet il est quand même très bien beaucoup de choix, thème différent à chaque jour.
Le soleil a été avec nous toute la semaine et la température était parfaite si tu aimes la chaleur environ 29 à 30 degré. Nous savions qu'il y aurait de la sargasse mais nous avons pu profiter de la plage au moins 4 jours . J'y retournerai sans hésiter et le recommende .
Point négatif est seulement la piscine qui pourrait être mieux entretenu.

perfect family vacation
Vacances en famille parfaite

Everyone loved their trip! Highlights for the kids included the star camp, the wildlife at the resort (coatis, flamingos, monkeys, etc.), and the pool. Highlights for the adults included the beautiful grounds, the gym, and the beach. The food was delicious; there was something for everyone.

Tout le monde a adoré son voyage! Les points forts pour les enfants sont le star camp, la faune sur le resort (coatis, flamands roses, singes etc..), la piscine. Les points forts pour les adultes : le site est magnifique , le gym, la plage. La nourriture était délicieuse, tout le monde y trouvait son compte.
