nice place
All was really good, food was nothing to boast about, but was about average.
The rooms have a lack of electrical plugs so take a power strip, or extension cord if you have any devices that need AC.
Great time was had by all
I cannot wait to go on another Iberostar vacation. I had a great time. The only thing I would do different is book the restaurants ASAP or even before we get to the resort. There were so many activities- we barely scratched the surface. Also, I wish the massages and spa experience were not as expensive. I would have loved to try out the massage. Lastly, our room's AC was not working all that well towards the end of the trip-we should have said something. But, it was towards the end of the trip so we didn't even bother.
Over thirty family members gathered at the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo, in Riviera Maya, Cancun this August. The Paraiso Lindo is beautiful, with fun and interesting architecture. There is more than one pool, but one of them is huge, and has a swim up bar where musical entertainment is staged above. When you’re at either pool bar, try a mudslide with rum drink. The entertainment at Paraiso Lindo was top-notch for a resort of this type and size. We enjoyed all of it, whether at the pool or on the stage. If you like Karaoke, look for Patrick at the bar with the big fish tank, he’s a suave MC and good guy over all. The Paraiso also has a wave pool and a lazy river. The one downer was the beach, as it was filled with old dead coral, and hard for me to navigate. The pools easily made up for it for me, which is not typical, as I grew up on a beach. The pools were really cool!
The food was good everywhere we ate. We loved the Mexican Buffet for lunch, and the main buffet never failed to delight our appetites (but we really loved the breakfast)! Luis is another star to be acknowledged, as he helped a few times as both waiter and conversant. Also loved the Steak House, El Rancho, seated in Paraiso Maya (we did that twice). You will be amazed at how stunning the Paraiso Maya is. As you can tell, there is much more to the place than just the Lindo resort. The Lindo exists on a campus setting with other Paraiso resorts that you can explore. Tacos and Crepes are not to be missed at the Market (that's a clue).
If you are a sci-fi fan, definitely check out the disco, we had a blast there. The gym is downright awesome. The staff there are genuine and helpful. At the shooting range, Manolo proved to be worth getting to know. He made our day, as he was pretty entertaining. Our concierges, especially Estephany and Giovanni, were super helpful, and always friendly. Overall, this was a 9 out of 10 for me, and for most of the family. If the beach were friendlier, it would be a 10. Let me say that this is the first vacation resort I would actually revisit, in spite of my rule of no repeat. Hope this helps. Be good to yourselves.
My boyfriend and I came to this resort for 4 nights. And we loved almost everything about it except the food. The room was very clean, cleaned daily so that it was spotless, only thing was we wished it would get a little cooler but the AC could only be turned so low.
The pools were great, there were many different options for pools and they were for the most part pretty clean. The lazy river was also very nice too, and it’s just a very short path walk to the beach which was convenient with many lounge chairs to choose from. The ocean had lots of seaweed, which was annoying.
There are many activities, one we chose to do was archery. It wasn’t portrayed the same that it actually is in the photo they advertise for the activity, but it was fun nonetheless.
Last thing I have to say is the dining options. Weren’t so good. We come from NYC where delicious foods are an arms reach away, but this place wasn’t it. Some things were just inedible. The only decent restaurant that we felt we could slightly enjoy was the gourmet restaurant called El Museo. All in all I would recommend this resort to visit. It was great, but they could use a few improvements.

Am I seeing an Indoor Pool or is this a Spa/Adults Only Pool???
7 years, 92 months ago
Atlanta GA
the resort does not have an indoor pool, but does have a small pool in the Spa area.
KristinCC
I believe you are looking at an outside pool for all ages. But there are many pools and the resort is huge...plenty of pools for everyone. There is a wonderful Spa that I would recommend and they have an indoor saltwater pool and is absolutely delightful, quiet and very relaxing. I believe the Spa is only for adults. The jacuzzis are great and the sauna is wonderful.
CaptainQ
No indoor pool except at the spa
newhavenranch
No indoor pool at the Lindo. I think they have one at the Grand and maybe the Maya.
FloMoMom
It is the spa which is very comfortable, clean and relaxing. And free
misterdonw
They have what they call a Wet Spa - it is adult only, it is $35 a day for the use, but if you get a massage ask for a gift certf. so you can go enjoy for free for an afternoon. It is a very nice pamper. An indoor salt water pool with wonderful jets for leg massaging, a great room full of hot tubs, and a wet sauna....very nice and nobody is in there!
TexasSugar
Why do you need an indoor pool? Weather is always gorgeous for outdoor swimming? There is no indoor pool to my knowledge. There is a spa that may have a small tub indoors but it is extra charge.

Can we snorkel off the beach in Iberostar Paraiso Lindo Resort , Mexico4 answers
Can we snorkel off the beach in Iberostar Paraiso Lindo Resort , Mexico, or we have to take snorkel trip to see Caribbean fishes and corals? Would you recommend any other all-inclusive resorts in Mexico for the snorkeling off the beach (without taking a boat to coral reefs). We enjoyed snorkeling in Riu Hotel in Ocho Rios last year and looking for the similar vacation, but in Mexico.
Thanks,
Marina
7 years, 92 months ago
Marina
According to a recent review on TripAdvisor, there is not much snorkeling on site. However, a snorkeling excursion can be arranged nearby.
MariaCC
Yes you can snorkel right off the beach
newhavenranch
Snorkel equipment is included in all inclusive resorts but honestly if you really want to snorkel, you go where the locals go, and it is not at any resort!! Go to Akumal bay to swim with turtles, Xel Ha, Xcaret or better yet, a day trip to Cozumel to reserve a snorkel tour. Only there will you see the best coral reef and variety of fish.
Filomena
Very nice beach for swimming clear water no rock... Therefore is not a place for snorkeling.
If you want to snorkeling go to Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort... This is a big resort a lot of walking, the hotel is nothing good or bad to talk about, BUT for snorkeling you will spend all day in the water to watch the fish ton of them, turtle, sting ray... The beach is not for swimming rock, coral, and hill. that why it is 1 of the top snorkeling area I know so far right of the hotel beach.

Is there a shuttle to and from the airport?8 answers
7 years, 90 months ago
Lauren
Transfers to and from the airport should be included in your trip. Check to make sure its part of your package. They make arrangements thru a local travel agency who will be waiting at the airport for your arrival and will make arrangments with you to pick you back up on your last day to return you to the airport. They will include the instructions in your final arrangments via e-mail that will give you all the details.
Mazysmom
Yes, when you book the vacation, there is an option to purchase a voucher for round trip shuttle to and from the airport. We used Olympus and they were always on time, the vans were clean and air conditioned and the staff was very professional.
CaptainQ
We booked our roundtrip shuttle when we booked our trip. So easy I couldn't believe it! Just looked for the orange polo shirts, they took care of everything else. Word of warning, they will tell you that you must schedule your return shuttle right away when you get to the resort. This is so they can try to sell you excursions! We didn't schedule ours until the day before, so they didn't try to sell us anything. The service was excellent and friendly.
FloMoMom
Best to Make Shuttle Arrangement before you get there.
We used Olumpus Tours ( Orange Shirts at the Airport ) they have regular shuttle to the Iberostar and the other local resorts.
IglooMaker
Book this thru cheap carribean. Best bet.
cbmass
Highly suggest getting transportation arranged before your trip. CheapCarribbean has this available. I used Olympus Tours and they were great, just make sure you find them specifically and not get caught in the airport exit by the people selling timeshares, who will act like they are your transportation agent.
AndyW
Yes. Cheap Caribbean used Olympus Tours and they were very good, with comfortable air conditioned minibuses. Price was reasonable.
misterdonw
Yes there is a shuttle but you pay extra. Reserve through travel agent.

Not through the resort, but many of the transportation companies (like Amstar) have reps at the resort all week long.

If you stay at lindo, you can walk whole beach thru 2 other iberostar resorts, beach is very big. It doesn't disappoint. Yes this is beach.

It is the beach. Easily walkable and very comfortable. Surf looked to be a little rough, but swimmable.

Great beach, a few rocks out in the water so bring water shoes

All the Iberostars are on the beach. So no matter if you stay in Lindo, Beach, Maya or Del Mar, the beach is right after the pool area over the boardwalk.

Is premium/ top-shelf liquor included?8 answers
Are premium drinks included or only lower quality grade liquors?
7 years, 88 months ago
Virginia Beach, VA
International and domestic brands of beer, wine and liquor are available. There may be a surcharge for premium brands. The selection of drinks is subject to change based on availability.
KateHCC
Yes... Premium all the way
CaptainQ
Everything is included. Most of the bars had the lower quality liquor. I prefer Malibu Rum and only saw in one location. But I rarely drink so I didn't really care. Drinks are very weak. Good thing or there would be a lot of sunburned drunks staggering around, and this is more of a family place. I get the impression that the people looking for a party were staying in Cancun.
FloMoMom
Absolute,Smirnoff,at some bars, not at swim up, some at beach, you must request name brand. Lobby bar has most names.
cbmass
Premium liquors are available only by request, or such was my experience.
AndyW
It's a mixed bag. Some are recognizable brand names, others were substitutes. For example, there were 2 choices eachj of red and white wine. Nothing you would recognize, but OK.
misterdonw
The main lobby bar has the premium liquor the rest of the bars are lower quality - the main lobby bar is great and so are the bartenders....we spent some time in this one :-)
TexasSugar
Many brands are premium but not all. Hennessys, Kahlua, Baileys, etc. No Crown Royal

travelingirl55
Yes, multiple!

Yes and it is pretty great! The bar tenders are great - take a pocket full of one's and that will get you far!! ENJOY!!!
Great pool!!
TexasSugar
There was a wonderful swim-up bar at the Paraiso Lindo. Easy to reach, comfortable to just sit half in/half out of the water. The bartenders were very capable and friendly. We especially liked Filiberto, who was fast and attentive and able to make anything we requested. We also visited the swim-up bar at the adjacent property, the Paraiso Del Mar. The pool was huge and meandering and the swim-up bar was pretty good -- but not as comfortable (stools were too far out of the water) and the bartenders not as talented. By the way, tips aren't expected and the service is good no matter what, but we had U.S. dollar bills with us and tipped often anyway. The tips were appreciated, despite being wet, and the double shots of tequila my friend were drinking seemed to get a little bigger with every pour.
NOLAtraveler
There is a really cool swim up bar at Lindo and Beach resort with lots of activities in water , too.

How long does it take to shuttle from airport?10 answers

The resort is located about a half hour away from the airport.

30 to 35 minutes.
travelingirl55
30 minutes approximately. That was with one stop before we got to the Iberostar.
rpfgolf
Give 45 minutes if you are on Olympus tours
TexasSugar
The Paraiso Lindo is probably 30-45 minutes to the Cancun airport. Be aware, however, that the shuttles are usually making stops at at least one other resort so it can take longer. On the trip from the airport to the hotel, our drive was about 30 minutes; on the way back, due to a stop at another property, and then different terminals, our hotel-to-terminal return trip was about an hour... Hope this helps.

Is US currency acepted?9 answers
6 years, 81 months ago
NW Ohio
This information can always be found under our "Destinations" tab.
The official currency of Mexico is the Mexican Peso. American funds are widely accepted, though we recommend buying some pesos, especially for shopping at the local markets and tips. Currency can be exchanged at casas de cambio (exchange houses), banks, and hotels, though the latter usually have the highest rates and tack on a service fee. ATMs are readily available and accept foreign bankcards. Major credit cards are widely accepted.
LaurenCC
Yes, but take small bills. You will get pesos for change.
vjoyler
We brought U.S. currency for tips -- a lot of ones -- and small purchases and had no trouble using them. Most shops, etc., have calculators handy and they determine the peso/dollar rates easily. We used credit cards for any purchases over $30 but probably didn't have to ... By the way, you can change dollars for pesos at the hotel's front desk if you want to; the exchange rate seemed fair.
NOLAtraveler
Yes US is accepted but they do not have change that often so bring smaller bills and your debit /credit cards.
Filomena
yes, pretty much everywhere! however, you might get some change back in pesos, but you can just use that for tips and whatnot
djjt
Yes, we didn't convert any money to pesos and used US currency outside of the resort also
Jdug1
Yes. Every place around Cancun, Playa Del Carmen accepts USD.. however they don't give you the best exchange rate. For instance; current rate is 13.20 MX Peso to 1 USD; but they rate it at 11.5 to 1. Better to use your Credit Card.. accepted most places.
BigNate
Yes but use credit cards it's cheaper

Are sailboats / Hobie Cats or equiv. available at the Iberostar?6 answers

Kirkie
This resort offers a wide variety of water activities, such as catamarans and motorized boats. For more information please contact the resort directly.
CaitlinCC
Yes they have sailboats and there were several of them.
TexasSugar
Sailboats are free to use, Wave runners have charge.
Filomena
Yes, there were several hobie catamaran sailboats available for free if you have some sailing experience. We stayed at Iberostar paraiso Lindo
Jdug1
The boats are located between the Lindo & Maya resorts. There are 4 Hobie Cats and several kayaks available for rental. Please note: The hobie cats are a hot item and they go quickly. The boat shop opens at 9AM and they only take reservations for that day. They cancel the sailing if there's too much wind, not enough wind or if there is a storm prediction. My husband went down to reserve a boat nearly every day we were there and we only went out once.
Magoo09
They have some small sailboats and kayaks. I got boats in one pic... not kayak. Was free at Maya.. think may be small charge for Lindo. They charge $50 if you get in trouble and they need to come fetch you. ;-)

You should look on their website regarding this, however, I believe you can reserve a larger room for a family. I know that the Maya and Beach resorts have larger suites and you can always use the family oriented pools at Lindo, as it is right next door and not far of a walk as all are connected and shuttle will take you there if you ask.

When staying at the Lindo, do we have access to the restaurants, shows, etc at the other Iberostar resorts on property?7 answers
Also, are we limited to the number of reservations based on the number of days we stay?
6 years, 80 months ago
Sugar Land TX
It does not appear that you have access to the other properties when staying at Lindo. When staying at the Grand, you have access to the other properties.
MariaCC
If you are at the Lindo, you have access to the shows, but not the rest. on the Maya or Grand hotels.
rpfgolf
Yes but you won't want to leave Parisido Lindo...it was the best. Some of the restaurants are on the other properties, but they will take you over there in a golf cart.
TexasSugar
If you reserve on your first day, you will get at least 3 restaurant reservations for dinner if not more. Be flexible with times and insistant with concierge. Buffets are decent also.
Filomena
The shows are at the theatre a the Lindo, but are for the Maya resort guests as well. I was a little confused about the usage of the other resorts. I tried to go into the buffet at the Maya one day and I was turned away, but we met people that said that they used all of the facilities of the Mar resort - no problem. I would definitely clarify when checking in.
You are limited on the # of reservations based on how long you stay, but if you're willing to be flexible on the dining time, they'll fit you in more. I found the general buffet to be some of the best foods though.
Magoo09
You are limited to which restaurants you can eat at, but you are not limited to a certain number of reservations. Each resort has a handful of restaurants. I stayed at Lindo and could eat at a couple restaurants that were part of Maya in addition to our 3 or 4 restaurants. The front desk let me know exactly which restaurants we could eat at.

As amenities and privileges are subject to change at any time at the hotel's discretion, it is best to contact them directly for the most up-to-date information. For your convenience, you may reach them via the online "contact us" form found on their website here: https://www.iberostar.com/en/contact-us
BILLCC
The Paraiso Lindo is sandwiched between the Paraiso Del Mar and the Paraiso Maya. You can use the pools and restaurants with full privileges at the Paraiso Del Mar, which was very nice. The pool was great, meandering all around the property so you found pockets where you had it to yourself. (The swim-up bar was better at the Lindo, though.) You also can make a reservation to dine at the restaurants at the Paraiso Maya for dinner, which we did one night. We went to dinner at the Mexican restaurant, El Tapatio, and the food was pretty good. We saw the breakfast menu and decided we wanted to come back there for breakfast - and we were turned away at the door because we were from the Lindo. So, it's a little confusing. The properties are all very close and it was easy to walk between the Lindo pool and the Del Mar pool.
NOLAtraveler
Yes you can use the pools and bars at the Beach resort and Del Mar, not the Maya though, and if you make reservation early enough, the restaurants can be reserved at the other resorts as well. The pools are best at the Lindo resort but there is a nice pool at the beach resort worth visiting and also the Italian restaurant is worth reserving at the Beach Resort. At Lindo, I'd recommend the steakhouse and mediterranean and buffets. . All resorts are connected and the bellboys will drive you anywhere within minutes if you don't want to walk. There is a shuttle!
Filomena
You will get the amenities of all the other resorts except for one

No.. There is a casino on sight but the Mexican Law does not allow gambling so it is not an open casino. It is locked up and dark.

Tour questions3 answers
I am interested in booking a vacation in your resort. Do you have people who help set up excursions? I am interested in the Mayan Ruins and Xcartet. I know there's more too but I would need help.
Also, can I just bring a credit card to pay for everything? I am not one to carry cash and would probably just bring cash for tips.
Thanks in advance!

Can kids staying at the Beach use the wave pool at the Lindo?4 answers
We are going with a large group. My family has stayed at the Beach 4 years ago, and I remember we couldn't go to the Lindo. We have 4 rooms at the Beach and 4 rooms at the Lindo. The families at the Beach are wondering if the kids can come by us at the Lindo. Are the kid's wristbands the same color at both resorts? Can they buy day passes to the Lindo? How much?
3 years, 42 months ago
Michelle
Guests staying at the Iberostar Paraiso Beach do not have access to the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo. However, resorts do often have day passes available at an additional cost, for more information on this please reach out to the resort directly.
JeannieCC
Officially, it is not allowed for persons staying at the Beach to use Lindo facilities.
BeachBum9
Yes
CAC87
No, I believe you can only visit "down" and not "up" as far as the resorts. If you stay at the Lindo, you can visit the Beach/Del Mar, but not the other way around.

Is it hard to find a loung chair at the pool or beach?5 answers

Chrissy
Yes
Gailey
No, tons of chairs and loungers.
Foodiey
There are so many chairs, we never had a problem even when the beach seemed maxed out.
kmwilkins
The beach chairs were snapped up pretty early in the morning and stayed pretty full most of the day. We did not have any problem at the pool area.
Islandgirl16
You need to get there before 7am or after 330pm to get a chair on the beach. They just don’t have enough. Also people tend to leave their towels on the chairs and are gone fir a long time, but that is because there are not enough chairs.
