We wanted our honeymoon to be really spectacular and asmy husband says, he didn't want to be in "Mariott Hell." We selected this hotel based on the number of rooms (90) as well as it proximity to the airport...as we were only there for 4 nights we didn't want a long commute to our hotel. The rooms are gorgeous with really unique decor and fabulous views. The only complaint would be the firmess of the bed. The breakfasts each morning were delicious with so many options. We had dinner/room service at the hotel each night, and it is VERY expensive. It was our honeymoon, so we didn't mind, but ordinarily I would have been little annoyed. The hotel grounds are very nice. We attempted to leave the hotel to check out Tulum, but the traffic was so bad, we ended up turning around and lounging by the pool. In terms of service the pool scene is wonderful, the staff is very attentive to your every need. The thing we thought was a little strange is that nobody spoke to eachother. It wasevery couple out for themselves. Also, it is very quiet at night, live music would have really been wonderful! We each got an hour massage at the spa, and it was good, nothing amazing. Overall it was a nice stay, but a little on the boring side for us.

The Paraiso is truely a hidden gem on the Mayan Riviera! My husband and I spent a week there for our 10th wedding anniversary and it was everything we had been looking for. The rooms are enormous, impeccably decorated and very clean. The staff is super attentive and the food at all 4 restaurants was delicious. The beach is beautiful and groomed every morning. The pools are wonderful (try the salt water pool, warm and has jets everywhere!) and the double sun beds very comfy. The gym was always empty and very clean and the early morning yoga classes on the dock were terrific. The Paraiso is the last of it's kind on a coast line littered with enormous 500 room hotels. It's lay out parallel to the beach is also a plus so that every room has an ocean view. Most new hotels down there are being bulit perpendicular to the ocean so there is no view. You will not be disappointed if you stay here...it is a little slice of heaven.

Just spent 5 days and 4 nights here...what can I say...it exceeded all of my expectations...the room...the view...the service...all great!

Definitely returning!

We spent four glorious nights here.

There were many delicious choices for breakfast; service outstanding. All meals eaten at the resort were absolutely delicious.

The rooms were spacious, extremely clean and contrary to other comments about the beds being hard; we did not find this a problem. Beds and linens were very, very comfortable. We've never had rooms cleaned to such perfection every day.

The staff is extremely helpful and always smiling. My husband enjoyed the cigar bar in the library; and I loved the covered comfy beds on the beach.

We have travelled extensively world wide, and found this resort to be certainly one of the best insofar as a beach destination.
