Iberostar Selection Paraíso Maya

For beach access, an abundance of amenities and proximity to bustling Playa del Carmen, stay at Iberostar Selection Paraíso Maya in Punta Maroma, Mexico. This GRUPO IBEROSTAR outpost sits less than 14 miles northeast of the famous nightlife destination. At this all-inclusive property, you'll find Mexico-inspired touches like a lobby bar with a replica Chichén Itzá pyramid and a lazy river surrounded by lush vegetation. You can also take a dip in one of eight pools, including a wave pool and a pool with waterslides. If you're traveling with little ones, drop them off at the supervised Star Camp for age-appropriate activities (which your all-inclusive room rate covers) while you tee off at the golf course or unwind with a treatment at the spa (charges apply). When you work up an appetite, grab a bite to eat in one of six on-site restaurants, two of which are buffets. Then, enjoy an evening of dancing at the Galaxy Nightclub or relax in your suite. Past guests loved the spacious accommodations – which offer minibars, free Wi-Fi access and outdoor spaces – although a few suggested light sleepers ask for a suite on a higher floor and away from the main pool to avoid excessive noise.
