We just got back from a 7 night stay at the Paradisus La Esmeralda. The review in chronological order. The entrance that has received numerous negative reviews has now been fixed. The hotel has a new entrance to the property, without going through the dicey neighborhood. It would be nice if the Taxi and Tour Operators got the news. When... More

I was fortunate enough to receive a 4 night free stay at either the Paradisus La Perla (adults only) or the Paradisus La Esmeralda (families) in Playa del Carmen. Because La Perla only offers king beds, my father and I chose to stay at La Esmeralda. "Laura Martine"z, the agent that helped book our reservation, was amazing. We changed our... More

After a week's stay at the Paradisus Playa Del Carmen La Esmeralda to celebrate our daughter's wedding - the arrangements for which were made superbly, it was a moment of emotion to say goodbye to Enrique n. Pablo at the NAOS on Monday morning, May 20, 2012. I have been to several other places in Europe, the Middle East n... More

Dear guest, Most of our visitors come to Paradisus with very high expectations based on the publicity, previous guest reviews, someone´s recommendation or just because it would be their first time in Mexico. Those expectations are even higher when you are attending to a special event held at the property, in your case, your daughter’s wedding! We are glad to... More

We stayed May 5 through May 12. We were given a room on the family side; it was a master suite with a jacuzzi on the balcony. We noticed that most every room had a jacuzzi on the balcony. The property was at 13 percent capacity; it went up to 30 percent during our stay. I cannot say enough good... More

We just got back from the Paradisus La Esmeralda. We went with the Family Concierge package and it was well worth it. The pirate ship and obstacle course (which are not in the family concierge section) were a lot of fun but we really spent most of our time at the Family Concierge pool. It was fantastic and I can't... More

The first things you notice upon arriving at Paradisus are the zen-like indoor ponds, dramatic lighting, and spaces that melt between indoors and outdoors. Soon there after you're impressed by servers who remember your name and take care of your every need. "Every thing is possible," they say. Jerónimo Saragoz and the other staff provided us with fantastic service with... More
