    Another great time!!

    We were at the resort 10/18/24 - 10/28/24 with 5 other couples. It was a great time!! Although the weather wasn't as good as usual with 12 of us, we found our own fun. The staff is very attentive to us. Checking in at the Prestige Lounge was easy especially with Rodrigo helping us. In addition any time we needed any help he was always willing to assist us. The beach was wonderful (when it wasn't raining :)) Angel at the Prestige beach was always there with a smile, helping us set up our beds/chairs and anything else we needed. At the beach also was Delfina who was the waitress who kept us supplied with plenty of beverages and had such a good memory she remembered what are drinks were. Finally the food. The buffet was always a good place to eat. A few of our friends tried some of the resturants but we prefer the buffet. I have some food allergies and without the help of Chefs Omar, Daniel and Itzel, it would have been very difficult. They always go above and beyond to ensure that my meals were prepared so that I could enjoy them without any issues with my food allergies. Our rooms were exactly as we had requested and our housekeeper did a great job. Can't wait to return in February!!

    Great resort for a relaxing vacation

    Entertainment team was A1 - Axel and Daniel especially! Food was also exceptional. Recommend this resort for a relaxing vacation, beach and pools are great and all the staff was always very uplifting with a smile on their face. Definitely check out the Mediterranean restaurant while you’re here and don’t miss out on nightly shows + disco!

    Incredible service at La Hacienda at Iberostar Paraiso Beach

    Amazing experience, unlike a any other! The food and dining experience was absolutely incredible. La Hacienda team gave us unforgettable Mexican food night. Angel Fajardo and his team - Jorge Cabrera and especially Joshua Villanueva satisfied all our needs! I can't wait to get more vacation to come and see them again.

    Brilliant, beautiful stay but noisy.

    We stayed 26 Oct to 5th Nov and had the times of our lives with our 6 year old, having been as a couple many years ago. We loved the gardens, comfortable rooms, pool and plentiful sun beds, incredible breakfast, and the crepe/ burger / coffee options at the shopping mall. We used the Dressel Divers on site who were exceptional. The bar staff and waiters were extremely attentive. The only downsides we experienced were that the nighttime entertainment is incredibly loud (from both directions as our room was between the Beach and Lindo theatres, block 40) and even during the day by the pool we didn’t think it needed to be as loud. We struggled to find anywhere to sit and chat in the evenings as the Lobby bar had very loud Karaoke etc. It was disappointing that many of the restaurants e.g Star Rock Cafe, Italian were closed during our stay, perhaps as we were off peak (?), meaning lunch options by the pool were only the BBQ station, with limited vegetarian. We were also disappointed that some shows were payable (not quite all-inclusive!) and we were being pushed to buy tickets, or to buy photo experiences on the beach whilst we were eating meals with family. It’s a beautiful resort and we may still be back in the future but do hope they’ll take on board this feedback as many people seem to review with the same themes!
