What We Love

  • Posh lounge chairs surround the pools and the beach. We can't think of a better place for a cold, fruity cocktail.
  • The service here is absolutely impeccable. It's the reason this resort attracts so many repeat customers. 
  • Capture much needed "me-time" at the luxurious, onsite Infinity Pool. 

Things to Know

  • The resort is only 30 minutes from the airport. 
  • Maximize your vacay hours by checking pick-up times on scheduled transfers.
  • The resort is open to adult guests only. 
Watching the sunset off these shores is one of our favorite ways to unwind after a full day in the sand 'n surf, and this beach is a posh spot for all sun worshippers. You can gaze upon the swim-friendly shores from the resort's infinity pool - the view is more than perfect. Your cocktail never tasted so refreshing under this Mexican sky. But, what's really going to win your heart - the welcoming staff will go above and beyond to create a vacay worthy of repeating year after year.

    Mexico love <3

    This is second visit to the Joia, and enjoyed every minute of it! Many of the staff and Star Friends team recognized my family, and helped to make the week stay great! Our Butler Antonio was great, always a pleasure to see and thrilled to help in anyway. Due to an ankle injury (long term), he noted to leave ice in the room around 8, so that I could ice and rest after a fun day! Cynthia from the Fun and Fit center, along with Janko are great. They lead so many fun water activities. I have mild physical limitations and was able to participate… even paddle yoga! Cynthia remembered me right away (from May ‘24). Roman, part of the Star Friends team recognized me right away while (he) wore a mask to promote the evening show. Luis spotted me as he was arriving for work, and gave me a big hug welcoming me back! Throughout the week he would always say “hi” and always help me when he was free. He helped me with being able to participate in many activities throughout the day ( in May and October). Chef Yadir is fantastic! Always talking with guests, happy to create an amazing dish! The bell boys were all very attentive/helpful. Several waiters recognized my family as well which was great, such as Leonardo and Endrik. Also Rosaura who waitressed around the pool remembered my family. It’s always nice when staff remember you from past trips. Everything about the Joia is fantastic!

    Great dinner at Legado

    We just had dinner at Legado (Mexican restaurant). Our server was Melchor. Ask for him if you go...great service and very friendly. Recommend that you finish off your meal with a Mexican coffee. It's prepared tableside with a bit of flair. The lobster tacos were delicious. Kudos to Angelo as well.

    Couple trip

    The Iberostar Grand now Joia is fabulous. We have visited multiple times and will continue. Primarily because of the amenities, location and wonderful staff. The entire butler staff in the 7000 and 7100 buildings are beyond exceptional. They go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable and fun. You want for nothing, there is never a worry. A big shout out to Gustavo, Tania, Manuel, Rueben, Benjamin, and of course Angel and Carolina. We love you all and can’t wait to come back!
