Good vibes resort-Shalala!!

This was truly a great experience. Reception was the most accommodating. Wonderful customer service, very children oriented place. The app works great. Our building concierge made my husband's birthday extra special. Kids club is amazing. We spent a lot of time there, during family time. We enjoyed ice cream at the ice cream place above the pool. Coffee shop is a cool place. I enjoyed macha latte every day. Taco shop is very good. Playgrounds are nice. Entertainment was great. We liked circus show. In general, a lot of attention to details at this resort. We didn't not like any ala carts. Mostly meat oriented. We liked room service. Bring your own floaty for lazy river. Wave pool is amazing for kids. Sadly, couldn't use the ocean much because of seaweed (in October). The main pool wasn't clean enough for us to swim. There are other pools that were better. And I liked lazy river. Racoons are nuisance. They can attack you while you are trying to eat your food at the beach, and they steal things and personal items. Lots of fish in the ocean to observe. Beware that the reception will introduce you to time share (club) sellers and call them a concierge. It's confusing and a waste of time. And a message for sellers-we aren't interested because we are going to different resort chains every time and do not want to be stuck with one chain.
Wildlife, staff and food were our highlights!

Iberostar Paraiso Lindo - your staff are what really make the resort shine. We found everyone genuinely friendly from the cleaning staff to concierge to bartenders and servers. The entertainment staff are especially fun and outgoing. “Shallalah goodbye” Next are the animals! Aguti, coati, monkeys, peacock, flamingo, iguana! Coati’s are a nuisance but do listen if you clap at them. The babies are adorable. I feel bad for their situation though crawling into the garbage cans and being fed. Third are the grounds! Very well tended! Beautiful gardens. Bring your walking shoes - each resort is long and you put on the steps. Some negative aspects with a bit of positive: The towel saving game is strong here. They have a sign that it is not allowed - but it is. No one enforces not doing it. A couple days on our trip we had difficulty finding seats both at pool and at ocean. Frustrating and maddening when you pay an increasing amount of money to travel here. The food is very good. Lots of fresh fruit, seafood, juices. There is honestly something for everyone. We went to many of the à la carte restaurants and enjoyed them. It is very difficult to get dinner reservations. I was pretty much in the Iberostar app asking if reservations were available - daily - multiple times a day. It was not a pleasurable part of the trip and pretty frustrating. The first come first serve restaurants I had to arrive at 5:30 pm and often would wait 45 min to an hour for our reservation. The buffets can have lines to get in if you eat at peak times (say 9:30 am, 7:00 pm) The pools are cold even in warmer temps of mid March. Wish they were heated for cooler days. Wave pool, lazy river and water slides are very fun. Very nice beach with big waves. Be careful for coral and rocks. Can be dangerous. Love the snack stations with ice cream and beach snacks. We had a few minor issues with a noisy room and bracelet cards that stopped working mid visit but we were helped fast and efficiently. Overall we had a great relaxing holiday.
