Judy and Maria’s First Impression of the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso

The resort has the "Wow Factor." Every time we visit a new Iberostar hotel we make a comment that the hotel is more iberostar Grand Paraiso Disk one 3 07 014-200.jpgspectacular than the last.  We have followed the construction of the resort since day one.  In our minds we tried to visualize what the new hotel would be like.  We knew the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso would be a a great hotel!  Well, believe it or not, the architects and designers of the “new” resort have outdone themselves!  From the momiberostar Grand Paraiso Disk two 3 07 004-200.jpgent we entered the hotel we were taken aback with the grandeur and design of the hotel.  We truly did not know whether to look ahead, up, or down as we were mouthing the word “spectacular” simultaneously.  To our left was the black and white theme of the"El Mirador" Bar.  To our right was the red and gold design of the reception area, and straight ahead of us was a huge atrium complete with palm trees, light streaming through the ceiling, bright flowers and the sounds of flowing water emanating from the fountains - peace, tranquility and solitude. 

The distinctive mixture of building materials incorporated in the design of the hotel brings to the forefront a feeling of elegance, sophistication, and warmth.  Each arriving guest is embraced with the resort's  "wow"  factor!  The new all-inclusive resort is truly a regal site to behold.  We were truly impressed with this hotel and we are excited to be able to to begin sale to this brilliant hotel.

Judy and Maria's Review of the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso 

Grand is the appropriate word for Iberostar’s new hotel.   The exterior architecture is Roman / Greek, as you will notice in our photos The interior of the hotel features grand staircases and wide corridors. The junior suite accommodations are all about fine details. A hallway in the suite separates the luxury bathroom from the bedroom area.  The resort's bathrooms are decorated with marble countertops and glass features.  In the center of the bathroom is a whirlpool bath and on either side of the bath are separate glass enclosed areas with the shower and toilet.

The décor of each of the junior suites is bright and features fine fabrics, rich woods, artwork, marble flooring, and contemporary light fixtures.  The sitting area is separated from the bedroom by one step.  Guests will be able to relax on a beautiful leather lounge and enjoy quiet time and the scenic views through the glass doors leading to the balcony or terrace.  The balcony or patio features a table, lounge and a double hanging wicker swing.

The gracious golf clubhouse stocks only the best rental equipment from Nike, Titleist and Mizuno. Both the driving range and practice green are lit up during the balmy nights so golfers can work on theirs swing in the moonlight. This might prove to be the best way to practice for your round on one of PB Dye´s toughest designs. Be aware however, one or two buckets of balls at the range may not be enough to conquer this DYEabolical design.

Dear Judy and Maria:  

"We just had to tell you what a wonderful vacation we had at the new Iberostar Grand Hotel, Riviera grand hotel paraiso.gifMaya, Mexico. We spent seven glorious nights in the height of elegance.  The oceanfront room was outstanding and the view was spectacular.  The grounds and the architectural detail of the resort seconds to none anywhere. There are basically no words to literally describe a stay at the Grand.  To achieve the full effect of the facility, you just have to experience it. We have been traveling with Judy and Maria's Travel since 2003 and we have booked 7 vacations to date.  Each time we return from one of your vacation packages, we always say "it doesn't get better than this!" But each new excursion seems to out do the previous trip.  However, I truly believe that the Iberostar Grand has to be the ultimate and can't be topped. Now we are truly spoiled and we can't wait until our next trip there in the fall.    

And,,, a special "hats off" to the butlers and concierges at building 71.  They strived to pamper us each day of our stay. They just couldn't do enough for us!  

Well, you guys did it again! another perfect vacation without a hitch.  

Thanks for your outstanding effort to every minor detail that makes our vacations wonderful, care free memorable experiences."
