This September, we vacationed at Paraiso de la Bonita, Riviera Maya. We've been staying here since 2009 and have visited over 13 times.
This resort was previously owned by another company. We loved the place, its atmosphere, its natural beauty, and its location. In 2023, the resort had undergone a change in ownership, causing it to close while the property underwent renovations.
After their opening, we eagerly returned in September 2025, and it is safe to say that everything has become MUCH BETTER! The rooms have been beautifully renovated with a modern style. The restaurants and all the spaces have been designed in a cozy way. The food and menu was excellent. Although there was a lot of seaweed in the ocean when we were there and we could not swim, we were more than happy to sit by the magnificent seawater pool in which we spent more time than in a regular pool. All of the rooms are ocean-front, as all the houses are located along the seashore, a rarity. The rooms are large and consist of two rooms and have terraces.
In addition to the place itself being cozy and familiar, we were delighted to receive highly professional service and a friendly attitude. The resort fully deserves a five-star rating. We attribute much of this to General Manager Cesar Eslava. We met him during check-in, and he did everything to make our vacation unforgettable. Big thank you to guest manager Diego, his assistant Romeo, butlers Rene and Daniel, waiters Enrigue and Jonathan, chef Javier, pool attendant Eugenio, and bartender Candido for taking care of us and providing impeccable service.
If you're looking for a relaxing and beautiful place with high-quality service, excellent food, and high-quality rooms, this is the place for you. A huge thank you to all the staff, and we look forward to visiting again!
