I spent a very relaxing five nights in early April at Paraiso De La Bonita with my family of six. Everything was as-pictured and as-described on the hotel's site. The hotel is beautiful, especially the main pool area. The saltwater pool was a great addition. The small(ish) scale of the property and the small number of other guests made it feel quite private. The rooms are large and well appointed. The restaurants were over staffed, so service was great and the food was delicious. We enjoyed our time at the new fitness center (amazing range of equipment), as well as our visits to the beautiful new Thalasso Spa. Five of us had massages, all from different therapists, and all were excellent. We loved the hydrotherapy suite, which was complementary with another spa treatment. We also enjoyed the Mayan Temezcal ceremony — slightly clichéd, perhaps, but still fun for our group. David (concierge) was a great help, setting everything up in advance. My twenty-something kids found the night life lacking, but that was expected. The only surprise was the essentially unusable beach. The vast quantities of seaweed are such a problem, and the hotel does not remove much of it — perhaps it would be too expensive to dispose of it? The smell made even sitting on the beach unattractive. Swimming was out of the question. The only consolation was that the pool area does offer beautiful views of the water, and the saltwater pool was a substitute (of sorts) for a dip in the ocean. Overall, it was lovely place to vacation if you are willing to forego a useable beach.
