Our Take: Sharing real estate with its sister resorts, the Iberostar Paraíso Lindo and the Iberostar Paraíso Maya, the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraíso earns rave reviews from guests for its expansive stretch of sand, its friendly customer service and its ample amenities. While staying at this all-inclusive hotel along the Maya Riviera coast (about 13 miles northeast of Playa del Carmen), you'll have access to three pools and on-site PB Dye-designed golf course — you can test the fairways for free if you're staying three days or longer. You can also partake in a bevy of activities (including fitness classes, snorkeling and kayaking). In terms of lodging, Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraíso houses 310 suites, each adorned in bright orange hues and equipped with whirlpool baths, high-speed Internet access and private balconies. What's more, the resort's nightly room rates cover breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks at its four à-la-carte restaurants, its buffet, its snack joint and its six on-site bars. But for many guests, the best part about the Iberostar's all-inclusive package is the complimentary butler service.
