Nice Big Resort with a Few Problems
Just spent a week at the resort. Overall, the place is really nice. Plenty for kids and adults to do, but there are a couple of things that would make me not recommend it. Below are the good and bad:
Good: Big Resort - if you don’t want to walk much, this is not the place for you. From the restaurants to the beach is a good 5 minute walk. We didn’t mind as there was plenty to see along the way, but if you cannot get around easy, then this is not a good place.
Good: Lots of stuff to see and do. We spent a lot of time at the lazy river and wave pool. There are several other larger pools that are nice too with activities daily. The nightly entertainment was just OK, but we still enjoyed it.
Good: French fries at the beach and the steakhouse.
OK: lunches were OK, nothing special. The Japanese restaurant was OK too. Not the best one I have had but not the worst.
Bad: they really need to do something about the mosquitoes. They are horrible. They are even bad in the rooms, so you get bit all night long. Make sure you load up on bug spray.
Bad: breakfasts and all the other restaurants were not good. If you come for a week, you run out of good dining really fast.
Overall, if they could improve the food and control the mosquitoes, this place would be very nice. Very few resorts though have really good food. Seems like someone would get that right. I hope this helps.
I loved this resort because it's a good different if compare with the one I went two year before which is beach resort. Maya is little more expensive, but I like about that on the restaurants, I can requested any dinner that I like during my stay if compare with beach resort which I only allow to book 2 dinner for my 5 nights or maybe they change the policies and you have to check on the beach resort. It was hot but all their facilities are in AC and we loved it.
So first getting to mexico you would think it would be smooth transportation come to realize upon arriving and leaving the airport i go to catch my ride and I'm told i am not on any list and i do not have a ride booked. I knew this was wrong because it clearly said it on my booking confirmation i did. Myself and my family were sitting at the airport for over 2.5 hours trying to figure this out because i did not want to pay again as i did on my previous trip to Jamaica when my ride never arrived and i had to catch a taxi. this was very annoying and irritating as i came to find out the cheapcaribbean or Amstar never confirmed my transportation. I also had to deal with this trying to book my return ride to the airport.
Upon arriving to the hotel after waiting so long the hotel was beautiful i check in and get an "upgrade" so i was surprised but when getting to my room had the most disgusting smell, smelled like a wet basement. the sheets were all wet from the humidity in the room. just wasnt a welcoming way to start my vacation after spending so much money. I did end up getting moved after informing them but i had to wait an additional night before moving because "no rooms were ready" .
Pools were clean, beach was disgustingly filled with mountains of seaweed
Food options were TERRIBLE. majority of the time food came out cold even dining at the "special" restaurants. most of my trip i ate fruits and breaded chicken because that was really the only thing edible.
What a wonderful experience. The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was great. We were able to get reservations to most a la carte restaurants. Overall, a great experience. The room was big/spacious and clean. The pools were nice and warm. A lot of activities for families. My kid/s enjoyed the activities and shows that the resort had to offer. The resort has a shopping center area where you can find other food (tacos, crepes, ice cream, coffee shop). It was a nice little area to go to. The buffet restaurants had a lot of variety of food. The employees would offer drinks all the times throughout the resort. Whether you’re at the pool or enjoying a show.. someone would come up and offer us drinks. We were treated very well. We will definitely go back. And from now on looking to stay at more Iberostar resorts!

How does the book now pay later with deposit work? what is the required deposit fee for a vacation priced around $1400 pp?5 answers
8 years, 101 months ago
kric718
Used it but did not make a difference to me.
NUTNBUTBEACH
With my experience doing book now, pay later, we paid for half our trip up front and the second deposit was taken from my credit card account 7 days prior to leaving for my trip. If the vacation is $1400 per person and you have two people going, the required deposit would be $1400. If it were four people going on the trip, it would be $2800 and so on and so forth.
losiedosie
Per the terms of the deposit program, the airfare, taxes, travel insurance (optional) and the $25 non refundable deposit fee is due at the time a vacation is booked. The amount of the deposit does vary for each package. The remainder of the balance is due 21 days prior to departure and is automatically charged to the credit card on file.
MariaCC
They ask for about 40% down at time of reservation and then the remainder must be paid 3 weeks before departure.
dmdot
It worked out good for us, because we had a few commitments to handle before going, such as 80th birthday for my Mother and Father a week before the trip

The standard room category we does not allow us to book 3 adults and 1 child. You would need to check directly with the resort as we are only able to book the standard room category.

each person will not have their own bed per se, but you can get a room with 2 double beds and ask for them to put a roll in bed in the sitting room for no additional charge. The double beds are larger, my wife and I slept comfortable on one.

there is a jetted tub in the bathroom, however ours was not useable. The jets had a white slimy substance along with a rust colored substance surrounding them. When turned on black mold jetted out. I would say they are dang near impossible to keep clean. So for looks not so much for use.

How late are the pools and lazy river open?10 answers
I would to love to go for a swim after dinner or when it is dark and lit up. So i'm wondering if there are any restrictions on how late you can swim?
5 years, 63 months ago
Sam Hafford
from our experience, until about 6:00-7:00. The outside bar areas close then also, but this is not a problem because there are several other bars and many places on the property with food and drinks available.
savvy10
It was out experience that the pools close about 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. for cleaning and do not reopen until the next morning.
savvy10
Usually beech and pools are closed at 06:00 PM. There were no signs saying they are closed or staff saying you cannot use. So it may be possible to use pool after dark.
DHSH
Pools are 8 - 8. No lights or swimming after 8. Lazy river - barely flows and they make you purchase rafts for $15 - $20.
MARS1002
Pools are closed around 6 or 7. not allowed night swim
coolsyoung
It states that the resort likes to close the pools around 8pm for treatments, but we were in the main pool past that (although the wet bar closes). I am sure the wave pool and lazy river closes, but we never went into those pools, so I cannot say.
Ystyle
all the pools are closed at 8pm. The official version is they treat the pools with chemicals after 8pm. I don't think anyone would have a problem if you went for a swim after 8pm, especially in the smaller pools near maya. If anyone say a security guard did say anything, im sure if you slipped them a 5 or 10 dollar bill they would have no problem looking the other way.
srlucas23
The pools close around 6-7, but then all if the night time activities begin. Never a boring moment for anyone of any age.

Iberostar Paraiso Maya is located between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, and less than 30 minutes from Cancun International Airport (CUN).

35 minutes
Cleve16
35 minutes
capecod1989
if you book with a transfer company like USA transfers, its a nonstop safe ride maybe 25-30 mins but it does not feel like that long, they are the cheapest we have found and have always been on time and great, I think it was 95 usd paid in cash when you get to your resort, we usually tip 5 bucks to the driver each way. They will send you an email the day before you leave to confirm your pick up time and location.

Between 30 - 40 min. They drop off at multiple resorts on the way.

Kids can go into any of the pools. I recommend you bring your own floating devices and definitely a couple inner tubes. You can buy them there but at about 3 times the price. There are no life guards so you must keep an eye on your own kids.

I added the transportation through cheap caribbean when I booked the trip. It was $20 total for airport pick up and drop off. They were on time and nice, but when I got to Jamaica they gave me a packet with my name on it that had me scheduled to meet with the transportion company the next day(they have a area in the resort lobby). It was to discuss excursions, but theirs were cheaper than what the resort was offering so it was worth my time.

It would be an additional amount for round trip airport transportation. If you have any further questions or need help booking, please call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.

we were also able to rent a car from our resort iberostar for around 100 dollars usa per day with all insurances. This was a great deal for my family of 4, we went to Tulum and coba for less than 160 dollars usa with all entrance fees, gas, rental, and trike rental at coba. Much cheaper than the 140 dollars per person we were told by the tour companies. The area is very safe, we never felt in danger, people are very kind.

What is the dining like in terms of what's included in all inclusive and reservations?5 answers
Are all of the restaurants included in the all inclusive price? Or do you have to pay extra for some restaurants?
Can you make reservations in advance prior to your arrival or when you arrive?
3 years, 39 months ago
Pittsburgh
All of the restaurants are included in the all-inclusive price. However, some dining restrictions may apply, for more details on this you would need to discuss this with the resort at the time of check-in. What's included is all meals, including buffet, a la carte restaurants and snack bars. All beverages, including name brand liquors, and taxes and gratuities. As for your reservations, these must be made at the resort during or after check-in.
JeannieCC
The different types of restaurants available are dependant on which resort package you choose. The number of reservations available are dependent on the length of your stay.
We stayed at the Maya resort which provided access to all restaurants which are 'all inclusive'. Snacks, burgers, tacos, etc. are also available throughout the resort - all of which are 'AI'. Drinks are 'AI'.
We stayed for 5 nights, 6 days which allowed reservations at (2) 'a la carte' restaurants 1 week prior to our arrival. Other 'a la carte' restaruants can be reserved with the concierge upon arrival.
MTRipster
More food than you can imagine. There's something for everyone, even the pickiest of people. Suggest as soon as you get there that you make reservations for all of the speciality restaurants. The meals would equate to $100 or more per meal if you had to pay separately. Also food is available from 6am to 10pm.
AllyCat2012
All Resturants are included. No extra charge for anything. Make all your reservations when you check in. They give you a receipt for each night. It also tells you what to wear to each Resturant. No you can't make any arrangements prior to your arrival except reserving your room.

You have access to 3 sister hotels staying at this resort so there should be carts that will take you to the other facilities. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.

Some resorts will take you awhile but if you like walking go for it. I love to walk but bad hip won't let me. We did use the carts but they only took 5-10 mins.
CAC87
We mostly walked everywhere. It should be fine. If you stay at the Maya, the lobby is quite close to the shopping mall, so it would be a 3 min walk.
From the lobby at the Maya, all the way to the beach, it could be a 10 to 15 min walk, but most likely you wont do that walk very often

Its very entertaining because there is beauty everywhere you walk so you dont feel it. I had to stop and think about it because it did not feel like that to me. They also have golf carts to take you places.

Scuba and snorkeling: Dressel Divers, right on site.
Amstar does alot of the excursions, there is another company too, I think it's Jetstar or something like that. (two counters at the lobby).
You probably can but I would use Amstar, which is located in the hotel lobby--they are great, they have brochures there, you can book your excursions knowing you will be safe & that the transportation is taken care of--You can pick up brochures when you check in and don't forget to negotiate your excursion rates--We did Xplor (by Xcaret) and it was AMAZING, especially for the cost!
