Iberostar Waves Paraíso del Mar

The short version

Think of Iberostar Waves Paraíso del Mar, formerly Iberostar Paraíso del Mar, as one piece of a bigger picture: it sits in the Paraíso complex alongside four other beachfront hotels. The resort is about 22 miles from Cancún airport and under an hour from Tulum. You'll find four pools, seven dining options that include Japanese, Brazilian and Italian, the Star Camp kids' program and a disco. Golf and the spa are extra.
