The staff were so nice, the room was great, and the facilities were nice! The kelp on the beach was a bummer but other than that the beach was beautiful and perfect. We were bummed that there was no windsurfing as advertised and that there was basically no snorkeling (we could use the snorkels but were told there was nothing to see because there were no good snorkeling areas nearby).

The resort is very pretty and has lots of animals roaming around and tons of greenery beautifully arranged. The service could have been a bit better from the front desk at Del Mar. Often times staff was not able to communicate well in English and service team at the buffet was not attentive especially towards younger children.

We absolutely loved the immersive natural setting of this property, complete with a huge swimming pool and a lovely sandy beach. The walking paths felt like enchanting journeys through a lush "jungle," teeming with beautiful wildlife. The staff were exceptional – consistently friendly, attentive, and dedicated to maintaining the grounds and providing excellent service. We also had a blast parasailing and took a memorable snorkeling trip to Cozumel. With a variety of delicious restaurants and a particularly impressive buffet, dining options were a definite highlight.

We came here with our 2 year old twins and they absolutely loved it! The hotel feels like a wildlife retreat. There are wild peacocks, pigs, coatis, and other animals. Our kids loved it! The staff was friendly, especially Ramiro at the front desk, Jessica at the concierge desk and Octavio, one of the head chefs. There were a few negative: the property is very widespread and it takes forever to walk from your room, to the restaurants, pool, and beach; they also don’t have any elevators, which was a huge inconvenience because we had a stroller with us; the beach is not nice. It’s very small with very few chairs and is covered in seaweed. If you’re looking for the beautiful turquoise water, this isn’t it. The only nice part of the beach was the star prestige area, which of course your had to pay extra for. Overall though, I highly recommend this place for people with kids.

Everything was hot; *the room’s electricity turned off automatically when you locked the door/left the room, which made the room hot upon return *the ac in all the rooms have a max cold temp of 80*F (27*C) *most dining options are outside in the heat *the lobby is outside in the heat *Golf carts are inconsistent, forcing you to walk everywhere in the heat Food and resort quality was a mixed bag; *a lot of the food tasted alike, with exception for the Japanese Hibachi and Mediterranean restaurant *the drink quality was wildly inconsistent, with some bars being great while others where bad *the vendors at the pop ups seemed irritated at any question or request *the rooms and resort have some signs of aging, but nothing too dramatic Very classist design; *you are given a bracelet to wear during your entire stay, and are assigned a color based on what hotel and level you are at. If you are blue, you are treated like trash and barred from a lot of the amenities. If you do insist on going to this resort, do yourself a favor and pay more for the mid or high class level. The good; - some food was great - some drinks where awesome - the kids LOVED Star Camp - lots of opportunities to walk and get your steps in— we averaged 20k+ a night, averaging around 9 miles! - the pool parties with the bubble machine where awesome and so much fun! - late night dining and dessert options Overall review: if it’s cheap, go for it! If not, there are MUCH better options around.

Wonderful Stay at Iberostar Waves Paraíso del Mar! We had a fantastic stay at Iberostar Waves Paraíso del Mar! The resort was exceptionally clean, the food was delicious with plenty of variety, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Joe from the club stood out—he was so welcoming and made our experience even better. One of the highlights was the beautiful wildlife around the resort. We loved seeing peacocks, black and white swans, flamingos, and even chameleons roaming freely—it made the atmosphere even more special. The only downside was the drinks, which could have been better, but everything else more than made up for it. Overall, a great experience, and we would definitely return!
