Iberostar Paraiso Lindo, Playa del Carmen Centro

Absolutley amazing. Theres no need for me to right anything, theres way too much to say. Hands down the best resort in the mayan riveria

I found nothing wrong with this resort. We had a fantastic time at the Lindo on our vacation. The drinks were good, the food was varied and delicious (especially the Steak House), the staff were very courteous and pleasant, the beach was clean and the weather was great!!!

if this trip were a girl id marry it, divorce it , and marry it again so sexy and awesome i wish id never left it... ever

We loved this place ;people great ,food great,beach great, you will have the time of your life as we did. Yes we will return here again :) We can say there was nothing bad here, hotel very clean. Had a Great time!

Accommodations: The hotel rooms were average with a major drawback ... the beds are double (full size) and not queen or king. The beds were rock hard and the pillows not much softer. The hotel lacked hot water; the best shower we could muster was luke warm. Service: The service was absolutely fantastic! The staff at the Lindo are definitely 5 star+ and make this resort what it is. There is always a friendly "hola" followed by a beaming smile wherever you go. Whenever we needed something it was quickly attended to. The general hotel culture in Mexico is to tip everyone for everything, and I was VERY pleased to see that at the Lindo this was truly optional and at no point did the staff make you feel guilty if a tip was not left. Pools: The Lindo had a variety of pool space to suite almost everyone's needs. The wave pool is a hit with kids, the swim up bar pool is a hit with adults. When staying at the Lindo you also have access to the pools at the other connected properties (excluding the Grand) so there is no shortage of different scenery. The temperature of the water was just right. After baking in the sun the pool seems cold, but in reality the water is warm but refreshing. As with any hotel the annoyance begins with people that put towels on chairs to reserve them but never spend any time at them. No hot tubs. The best one could find are large areas of the pool that have jacuzzi jets. Beach: The beach was fantastic. Soft sandy beach with wooden boardwalks making walking around comfortable. There was ample space and at no time did we feel crowded. The time of year that we visited meant some waves; lots of fun! The waves however caused the beaches to be "red-flagged" meaning no snorkeling, kayaking, catamarans, jet skiing, or other watercraft activities. Swimming was fine. Entertainment: Each night there is always a show in the outdoor (covered) theatre. The shows are on par with what you would expect from a Carnical cruise line. At times they were cheesy, but always entertaining. Each night has a different genre so there is something for everyone. There is a night club on site but sadly we were too wiped out each night to head over. There are various activities (25+) each day that the staff organize (archery, air rifle shooting, volleyball, water polo, soccer, etc. etc.) that everyone can take part in. Food: The food was just average. Lots of selection each day at the buffets but nothing to write home about. The large volumes of food mean inevitably it is warm/cold at best. The trick to ensuring a hot meal is to go to the made to order stations. There is one-two of these at each meal (omelets for breakfast, pasta for lunch and dinner, and various meat products for dinner). There are several genre specific restaurants throughout the property that you can make reservations at for dinner (all included with your stay). These were again average at best. Probably the best (and most sought after) was the Japanese restaurant. When you first arrive be sure to book your reservations for all nights as they are free, and non-binding. If you change your mind you can cancel without penalty, but if you wait until the last minute there may not be space available. Value: There is no question that the value was exceptional. For the price of an all inclusive package was very reasonable and well worth it.

My brother got married here last May.It was incredible.The whole place was amazing.I would go back anytime.The service the food and the whole place was incredible.

We were there in April of 2005. We had been to hotel zone Cancun in 1990. With this all inclusive we spent about the same money that we did 15 years ago. The Lindo was extremely clean, and we got to know some of the staff personally, and all they want is for the guests to have a good time. The meal arrangements were also good, and the food was great. We came away saying that we would highly recommend the Iberostar all-inclusive package to anyone.

It was a relaxing vacation with a staff that made you feel like part of the family. They couldn't do enough for us. The food was delicious and we were able to use all of the restaurants. No need to leave the Iberostar grounds they had it all - beach, pool, drinks, entertainment, nightlife, spa and shopping.

As my first time out of the country, I couldn't have dreamt of a better place. The service is absolutely amazing, I didnt want to leave. At one point I asked where to drop of my resume to work there. I would go back in a second. The food was good and the beach was unexplainably beautiful. Absolutely took my breath away. The air conditioners works all the time, even through the storms that came through at night. They appreciate when you tip but it is definately not a thing you have to do to get great service.

My wife and I went to Paraiso Lindo and liked it so much we decided to return with all our children, their spouses, and their children - fifteen of us. The place is immaculate, the staff friendly and accommodating, the food excellent and varied; but most of all, there was plenty to do for everyone of all ages. It was beyond our expectations and all of us would go back in a heartbeat.
