Editorial Review

The Paraíso Lindo is Iberostar’s 5-star, all-inclusive luxury resort located above the dazzling beach of Playa Paraiso.  The resort lies next door to the Paraiso del Mar and is adjacent to Paraiso Maya, both Iberostar creations.
 
The Lindo is a luxurious, imaginatively designed, newly built hotel that cleverly combines structural elegance with the natural beauty of its surroundings.  The buildings are surrounded by lush palm trees and mangroves and has received the Golden Apple rating from Apple Vacations.  From the magnificent chandeliers to the luxurious oceanfront Presidential suites, no effort is spared to pamper and delight.
 
The resort is built in such a way that it comes close to being a perfect haven for vacationers of all ages.  Every room has a terrace or balcony, mini bar, hairdryer, dish TV, coffee maker, marble bathrooms and room service.  Internet service is available at an extra fee.
 
The all-inclusive option includes all meals and a wide variety of entertainment activities, besides a continuous supply of snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, both national and imported.  You can dine from the Gourmet restaurant or have your pick from Italian, Cajun, Oriental or Steak House Fondue.
 
The first thing that strikes you at the Lindo is the pool.  What a POOL!  It is like a long river that winds lazily through the resort, like the one at the Paraiso del Mar.  Separate pool and wave pool for kids, lots of fun and entertainment, heaps of chairs and enough smiling service staff around.  There are also great activities throughout the day to keep you busy.  Shopping centers are just a stone’s throw away.  At the Lindo, the greens are always calling out to golf lovers.  What’s more, if you’re lucky, you’ll be around when they hold tournaments and you can watch it for free.  For those who want to tie the knot, the Lindo offers customized packages that take all the work out of getting married.
 
One of the best things at the Lindo is that guests can enjoy ‘dining around’ which means they can drop in at the del Mar and Paraiso Beach restaurants and bars.
 
Rooms are spacious with thos closer to the beach being quieter and the upper floors have great views.  It’s a good idea to email the front desk with your room requirements and dinner reservations a few days before arriving.  That way there will be no unwelcome surprises and no need to worry about reservations.  Even otherwise, making reservations at the Lindo is fairly easy because each building has its own concierge.  Remember, no reservation may mean no dinner!
 
The restaurants have a wide variety of cuisine which is also presented beautifully.  From fresh fruit and juices, omelette stations and deliciously made donuts to salsa, pizzas and regional foods, there is abundant variety to choose from.  The choice is quite varied with Mexican, Oriental, Cajun and Steak House specialty restaurants, so there’s no chance you’ll go hungry.  However, the menu does get a little repetitive after a few days.
 
The Lindo has enough activities to keep you busy throughout the day.  Tennis, aerobics, basketball, volleyball, windsurfing and motor sports.  Golf costs extra.  Entertainment programs include games, shows, performances and competitions.  Don’t miss the Star Friends.  As well, there is lots of entertainment activities for children. Daily excursions are a treat with trips to places like Chichen Itza and Xel-Ha.
 
The beach at Lindo is another of its star attractions.  It is long, calm and quite simply blissful.  Since chairs and palapas are abundant, there really is no need to rush there in the mornings for a seat.  If you visit with kids, try the pottery on the beach – makes for wonderful mementos to carry back home.  Some areas are rocky but you’ll get plenty of rock-free areas to play and have fun.
 
For people who love to shop, there are a number of shops at the hotel.  Besides, the Playa Paraiso Shopping Center is just across the street. If you want to enjoy a shopping spree in town, just take a taxi, which is easier than walking up to the highway and taking the collectivo.
 
Golf lovers, ahoy! Very green, very pretty with great holes.  A day’s golf entitles you to a cart, soft drinks, cold water, snacks and sandwiches. Early morning and late afternoons are the best time to enjoy your game unless you like really warm weather.  And that’s another thing – bring lots of sunscreen.

The resort is a great place for honeymooners and families alike.  The Lindo, like its Iberostar sisters next door is a sprawling place.  The sheer size makes it a delight for people who like to explore, walk and enjoy the freedom of a tropical forest.  Children will fall in love with the little animals that come out every evening.  The pools are simply magnificent though the food can be repetitive after a while.  All in all, a fantastic vacation experience awaits you at the Lindo.
