    Worst hotel ever

    Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Do NOT STAY HERE. My wife and I completely regret staying here. Worst experience ever on a vacaction. The food is bad, service is bad, staff is rude. Ultimately, would NEVER EVER EVER stay here again. 0/5 stars. This place ruined my vacation.

    Solid Choice for Vacation

    Okay, here’s a review fitting your specifications: This place was pretty good! The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. The food was decent, nothing amazing but definitely edible. The pool area was nice and well-maintained. Overall, a solid choice for a vacation. I’d probably come back again.

    Reflections on Our Journey

    We have just returned home after two weeks in "paradise". As we reflect on our 17 visits to Joia Paraiso Grand, it’s clear that this resort holds a special place in our hearts. Each stay is a reminder of the exceptional service, beautiful surroundings, and unforgettable experiences that have made it our preferred destination time and time again. The consistency in quality and the ever-evolving amenities ensure that we always look forward to our next visit with great anticipation. In conclusion, our latest stay at Joia Paraiso Grand by Iberostar was nothing short of extraordinary. It reaffirmed why we keep returning to this paradise, each time finding new reasons to fall in love with it all over again. Special thanks to incredible hard working people like Mala, Carlos together with their teem.

    Impressive experience

    Our stay in Iberostar Joia Paraiso was amazing and impressive. The level of care and attention to the minimal details is astonishing. The hotel premises ( starcafe , restaurant, and spa etc. ) are sophisticated and cozy. Our very special thanks to our hotel concierge agent Lubasha - she is very kind and was attentive and aware of our needs - she supplied us with all important information and guide us throughout our stay. thanks!!!
