Great place
We came to this resort for second time within two years. Both times in January, even weather is changeable, but still great. The resort itself is spectacular, very quiet, unbelievable clean. The beach is very well maintained , we had a few days seaweed but resort is doing great job to clean it. The huge pool is also in perfect condition Apart for having great food, nice restaurants, astonishing buffet, I cannot be thankful enough for personnel. Our butlers Benjamin, Fatima and Anna provided great feeling of being taken care on very high standard. Great people, friendly, professional and amazingly always available. Any requests or concerns are taking care of immediately, either way - information, fixing broken safe, inter resort transportation, spa reservation, anything.. Thanks again to them for making great vacation. In our previous visit, i needed a doctor help. The butlers handled it minutes.(resort has medical staff and ambulance 24/7, who would know without them). There is something minor what resort could pay attention, such as week or dead WIFI on the beach or generally outside of the room. I think some bars, snack stations, coffee shops located closer to the beach would be great. Not all restaurants open every day, its not big deal just FYI. But great buffet available everyday. My overall experience is great, even on comparison with neighbor resorts where we stayed before, such as Valentine and Secret. The worse part is price - the panoramic ocean front suite is quite expensive, but from another hand, there is no such thing offered in proximity.

Luxury accommodations, dining and wonderful staff
This is our second year at Joia Paraiso in the Iberostar resort complex and we will definitely return. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and the food is delicious at the sumptuous buffet and 5 themed restaurants. Guests at Joia, the nicest of the 5 resorts, can eat at any of the other resorts. While we enjoyed our daily walks through all the resorts, it was hard to leave the excellent cuisine at Joia. The rooms Joia are large with a seating area and oversized bath. We enjoyed a beach front balcony with couch and basket pod swing for two. Other rooms open onto interior or pool areas. The beach and pool areas are well- appointed with lots of seating and cabanas. The beverage and butler service are very good, not intrusive but ever ready to meet your needs. There are activities of every type each day and evening. While we did not engage in the water sports and competitions we had a lot fun cheering on contestants as they competed at the giant Joia pool and the pools at the 4 other contiguous Iberostar resorts. There is also a large quiet pool that is serene as well as an indoor pool and gym facilities. (Spa service are separate.) The landscaping and architecture of the entire Iberostar complex is stunning. Definitely a luxurious experience. I saw the review that complained about the reviewer’s experience with the Iberostar Prestige membership presentations. Obviously, if you know you don’t want the membership, don’t go to the presentations. We never attended any presentations and did not feel pressured to do so. All in all, this is a luxury resort that is well worth the price.

Excellent stay at Joia Paraiso
This is our second time to this resort and it was perfect, as previously experienced. The staff is excellent and attentive. The food and drinks are fantastic and the grounds are incredibly clean. The rooms are spacious and attended well. This is our favourite place to travel for beach vacations and will definitely be back!

Great entertainment team and welcoming staff.
Great entertainment team got me comfortable at trying super fun activities like paddle board yoga, dance lessons, water sports and fun games. Special kudos to Raymundo, Fernanda, and Cassandra, but all are fabulous. Great poolside drinks service from Lenin and others. My second time here and was so happy to see especially Aristedes. Also Raymundo, Fernanda and Lenin, some other beautifully fun and welcoming people. Thank you. Great food too with so many fresh choices and great shows.
