TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

I have never written a review for a hotel, but this place is so unfortunate that I need to correct the bizarre number of 5 star reviews. So I’ll start with the only good thing. The grounds are pretty. Pretty in a sad inauthentic Disney kind of way, but pretty enough. The rest. The moment we checked I. We were sent to the “concierge” whose only job was to hard sell us on breakfast that would include a sales pitch for time shares. When we said we weren’t interested, she said she had no other information for us. We downloaded the app to try to book a reservation for one of the restaurants, which by the way since we were only staying three nights we were only entitled to one reservation, to find out there wasn’t one single reservation available at any of the restaurants for our entire stay. The buffet food was buffet food, which is to be expected at a big resort but if you can’t eat anywhere else it’s really not great. The beach was so crowded there were no chairs unless you wanted to upgrade to the premium club. And the pool wasn’t much better. The room was clean enough, except for the ants, but smelled like chlorine and the ac didn’t work well enough to cool it down even with the fan on.

The entire Entertainment Staff was fantastic! They had so dancing, laughing, playing fun games and making the most of our days. If you want to fill your days with fun and want a trip that has you running to reserve your pool chairs- this is the place and the staff to ensure it happens! And the food- so so good!

This resort is a great starter resort. For the traveler who has never experienced an all inclusive, I would definitely recommend this resor. Iberostar Pariso Beach is very large but easy to navigate, everything is along a few paths and there are golf carts set up like bus stops through out the whole resort. getting from the beach to the lobby is simple whether you ride or walk. Half of the specialty dining does not require reservation which was nice and made the evenings leisurely. The beach is lovely and very large, not once did we feel crowded and its clear to see why many chose to have a wedding on this beach. The food was mostly really good there were a few flops but in a production as big as this resort that's probably normal, the must do is the experimental dining at the snack bar near the pool bars. For fun parties the foam party is a must. What a great time to connect and let loose with others and make lots of friends. This resort had great staff all over and they were very friendly. You can see they all were working very had to keep the place clean and the guest served. Tipping was defiantly appreciated and the service made you want to tip. The resort did try to upsell the membership and did have some shows that cost as well. retail sales are a huge component of this property as well. Those coming to this resort after having stayed at other properties should know that Pariso Beach and Del Mar are essentially the same package and they do not have turndown service or room service, and all drinks are rail with exception of the StarPrestige Areas. Lindo and Maya are a Middle class on this property with a few extra benefits, and Grand is the Highest class. This property did also have some construction that was taking place in the rooms but not affecting the guest.

A great trip, full of experiences, beautiful facilities, very delicious food and especially the attention. Thanks to Jireh who is very friendly, I had a lot of fun playing the games and I really enjoyed my stay

The good news is that Hector and Alejandro bumped us up to a room closer to the beach, which was a nice surprise. Overall, the few days we were there we’re good for the price we paid. Seems like a better place for families and younger people. Beach was absolutely beautiful. Seemed like the staff was not very friendly except for a handful.
