Nice break from reality

Z9804RSstevenk (Appleton, Wisconsin) on May 16, 2024

The room was very nice, albeit, we didn't spend much time in it. The amenities we amazing, but the food resembled cafeteria food. Entertainment at the adjoining resort was more lively than at the Lindo. The beach was wonderful and truly relaxing. The only negative, aside from the food, was the constant pitches from the "Concierge". Reminded me of the free show ticket in Vegas.

Don’t go here

Would not recommend you don’t get to eat at any restaurants. Went to iberostar Lindo supposed to have access to tons of restaurants. Can’t book and they try to sell you a 26,000 vacation club membership which is discounted today only for 50k. I was a huge fan after Jamaica but didn’t even have a working AC, remote or telephone. They didn’t care after multiple complaints….. what they did offer was free Champaign at an all inclusive free drink resort…. Generous

Rollercoaster from Hell

Michele L (Toronto, Canada) on May 14, 2024

I went through a marriad of annoyances in this resort. The first issue was the safe which was finally replaced. The TV would not change channels and the converter was ridiculous trying to click the channels, so cheap. I asked about the cost of the "Iluzio" show at the Grande and I first got a quote for 55 US, then next it was 59 US, then when I was going to pay they asked for more money due to the coversion of the peso, which must have changed every few minutes. I then had one of the fitness instructors ask me out, which was fine by me, but he stood me up, as I waited at the front gate at 7:30 pm while being bitten by mosquitoes. I told on him to the fitness manager at the gym about this instructor, Sergio checko. Then I rented a bicycle which cost me 27 US dollars and I rode it for 1 hour the first day and never found it on the second day as i locked it up near my room outside. You get the bike for 2 full days. Someone, probably security had taken it and probably put it back in the locked bikes area. Overall I had a rollercoaster of a vacation. Oh and my mom complained about the cleanliness of the floor in our room which had embedded dirt. They did clean if again but not very good, this was her complaint.

Second Visit

anamg89 (Toronto, Canada) on May 13, 2024

My family and I visited Iberostar Lindo 2 years ago and my daughter loved the amenities so much that we had to give it a second try. We never go the same resort twice because we like to try new things but Iberostar is so family-friendly. My daughter, who's 7 years old, utilized the wave pool and lazy river everyday. We brought our own floaties but there were a few random ones laying around for others to use. The pirate ship water park was closed for the duration of our trip due to renovations which was unfortunate; however, there was so much to do that we forgot about it! We love traveling during the month of May because the crowds are low. We never needed to wake up early to play the towel-chair game. We would always take our time in the morning with breakfast and headed to the beach around 10:30am or 11:00am and we were always able to find great seats. Yes, there is seaweed; however, there were many spots where the water was clear. When we visited 2 years ago, the specialty restaurants all required reservations but they are slowly getting rid of that. We tried the Italian, Steakhouse, Brazilian, Greek, and Mexican. We enjoyed all of them except for the Greek. The chicken was still pink and contained so much fat that we couldn't eat it. We also expressed these concerned with the chef who was walking around the restaurant to speak with visitors. I would like to thank Miguel, the concierge for our building 55. Two years ago, we weren't able to get reservations for the Brazilian and this time around, he was the only one willing to help us try it. We asked 3 other concierge members who all said no. Thank you again, Miguel! We also ate at the buffet everyday for breakfast, lunch, and sometimes for a late dinner/dessert after the nightly shows. Breakfast and lunch were repetitive but the dinner was different every night. I have a food allergy and Daniel, the head chef from the main buffet, was amazing! He really took his time going through each item of the buffet and explained the ingredients. He would often check in on me whenever he noticed I was around on other days which I really appreciate. The Entertainment team and the StarCamp staff were great! My daughter loved participating in the nightly shows and the beach games. I loved that they remembered her name. It seems small but with the amount of people they meet, I was impressed with them remembering her. She also loved meeting and taking pictures with the Star Camp mascots. We love the Mall area. Having a big playground in the middle of everything is amazing. My daughter would play while we sat with some yummy ice cream or tacos or burgers (all included). 2 years ago, the carousel only worked once the whole week but this time around, it was on every night with face painting as well. I would like to note that it's unfortunate that there isn't a Family Night anymore. The reason why I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because of minor issues, which were the same as 2 years ago. The bed sheets had weird stains that looked similar to blood. Some items weren't replenished in our room, such as tissues. The app is a great tool; however, it would constantly sign us out and it was so slow. The water refill station on the second floor of building 55 was always broken, even after being informed almost everyday about it. Besides these minor issues, I would highly recommend this resort to other families.

Excellent

We stayed at the Lindo Paraiso for 2 weeks as a family of four, we stayed in a junior suite which was very nice, a good size for four people and perfect location to the pool and beach. The room was cleaned to a very high standard every day. The pool area is beautiful and absolutely immaculate, with entertainment and games throughout the day, table service to your sun lounger. Thank you Veronica for bringing all our drinks for 2 weeks! They do a foam party once a week it was so fun plus obstacle courses etc for the kids, the entertainment team are great they invite you to join in but if you don't want to they don't hassle you ?? If you prefer a quiet pool day, then there are other pools without music/entertainment. The beach is gorgeous. Sadly, there is a lot of seaweed, but that can't be helped. The snack bar down there was great for a light bite. The buffets at this hotel are outstanding, we didn't bother with any of the restaurants as our kids are fussy and the buffet works better for us as they can just have what they like. La Pagoda buffet was absolutely amazing the best all inclusive buffet I've ever had, breakfast lunch and dinner were all excellent. The lunch buffet over by the pool was also lovely we ate so much every day ?? Every single member of staff was so friendly and polite they work so hard all day in that heat with a smile and don't seem to break a sweat! This was our best family holiday ?? thank you to all the lovely staff at Lindo for making it so special.
