A Family Vacation to Riviera Maya
By Sarah Etinas
No matter who you choose to travel with, the Paraiso resorts in Riviera Maya, Mexico are sure to please.
Looking for a sunny vacation for the whole family? The Paraiso resorts in Riviera Maya, Mexico are just a hop, a skip, and a jump away! Stay at any one of the five accommodations—each with its own unique take on its rooms, services, and activities—and have access to an entire complex of water parks, hotels, shops, restaurants, and more. No matter your preferences, everyone in the family will feel right at home.
Adults-Only Relaxation
at JOIA Paraiso
The high-end JOIA Paradiso is an adults-only escape, perfect for adults looking for a getaway. With spacious suites, 24-hour room service, a resort-exclusive spa, and even butler service for select guests, it’s pampering at its finest. Spend your days lavishing in slow, quiet luxuries, with mornings on the beachfront pool deck and evenings at top-tier à la carte restaurants that don’t require reservations.
Family Fun
at Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites
While JOIA Paraiso is great for child-free family members looking for a peaceful escape, Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites is the epitome of family fun. The entire property is inspired by Mayan culture, with the highlight being the lobby bar modeled after the legendary Chichén Itzá pyramid. Of course, let’s not forget the on-site water park. Complete with a lazy river, a wave pool, a splash pool, and several waterslides, kids—and adults!—will have an absolute blast. As if that weren’t enough, Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites also boasts Star Camp, a dedicated kids’ activity program split by age group for kids 0 to 15 years old. And at the end of a long day of sunshine and swimming, it’s easy enough to go back to your junior suite, family room, or suite—each of which accommodates at least four guests—to rest up and repeat the next day.
Water Park Thrills
at Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo
Like Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites, Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo is fantastic for families as well. Everyone in the family will have a great time, thanks to the resort’s very own water park complex and Star Camp. And with the help of the latter, the adults can go off and do their own thing, while the kids can play video games, learn about local marine life, and make new friends for hours on end. When you’re ready for a bit of rest, the tropical-inspired rooms at Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo make for a lovely home away from home.
Activities & Amenities for All
No matter which of these accommodations you choose to stay at, you’ll have access to the greater Paraiso Complex (though there are some limitations depending on which specific resorts you’ve chosen to stay at). Hop between the resorts, play a round at the world-class Iberostar Playa Paraíso Golf Club, and stroll through the Pueblo Paraíso shopping center, just to start. Don’t forget to explore the beach as well with the help of Dressel Divers, a professional diving center that takes guests into Riviera Maya waters to see local marine life and even the resort’s dedicated coral nursery.
