My girlfriend had scheduled a family trip - school vacation week - and asked me to tag along.... I was hesitant at first (didn't want to be a third wheel) but then she talked me into it. The best decision I've ever made! This place was so lovely - the people most especially but the resort, the food, the activities... More

Stayed at the Del Mar from May 11-18 with 5 friends in the age range of late 20s/early 30s. The grounds: Immaculate and breathtaking. Definitely worth taking as many pictures as possible of the wildlife and scenic views. Very very clean. Do not feed the animals. And bring some OFF to avoid late night bugs....because they def. bite. The rooms:... More

This is one of the most beautiful properties I have ever been to. I loved the white & black swans, flamingos, coatis and the beautiful, beautiful greenery around property. It was a gorgeous stroll walking to the lobby or the theater. The groundskeepers were super friendly. The swim-up pool bars were always busy & a ton of fun. The bartenders... More

We stayed at the Iberostar Paraiso del Mar resort from 5/07-05/14. We loved the resort, the open lobby, bars and restaurants, and the diversified wildlife. The buffet service was very good. There was almost no need to make Restaurant reservations. The entertainment was excellent. We loved the interactive night shows and the latin music. We had yoga and zumba on... More

Went through Apple.... If you do your research - and read before you go - you will NOT be disappointed... This is not the Ritz - that is why you are not paying the "Ritz" price. AND yes - I have stayed at the Ritz Cancun.... There were 13 of us ages 20-54! Transportation, Welcome, registration, room, pool, beach AND... More

Arriving at the airport was complete chaos. We searched in vain for the taxis other reviewers mentioned but could never find them. Most of the taxi drivers wanted around $100 US dollars to take me and my wife to the hotel. We finally found one for around $50 after a half hour of arguing. Arriving at the hotel. we were... More

Overall a good hotel, the negative part was the mosquitos. Of all the resorts I've been too, this one had a HUGE number of them, at the beach, pool, lobby, outside. Every minute you would see one on your body. Bring LOTS of mosquito spray. Trust me you'll need it.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our honeymoon in Mexico at Iberostar del Mar! We enjoyed the open air lobby, bars and restaurants. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and managed. Wildlife (coati,iguana, peacocks, flamingos, swan...) adds to the charm. We enjoyed the walks to and fro, but there are also golf carts to shuttle you around if you desire. The... More

Loved the hotel. It is big and a lot of walking, which I don't mind. Beach is bigger than other places that we stayed. We ate at the Japanese, Steak, Brazilian and Mediterranean restaurants, all were good. The only thing I was disappointed in was that use of the spa facilities was extra. It was a short drive from the... More
