We’ve read a good chunk of reviews about this resort before deciding to buy our vacation package for 2008. After spending about a week at Iberostar Del Mar/Pariso Beach (yes the two are pretty much the same hotel), we found that in our opinion, the reviews did not jive with the reality. This review is to give you the facts,... more

We have stayed at this resort maybe 7 times. This year when we arrived for a 10 day stay, the very pleasant little check-in girl made mad enough to ruin my first 2 days at the resort. I was so mad when we finished check-in, I could hardly contain myself. She was very rude, unaccommodating and short tempered. I may... more

This was the best vacation ever! We stayed for 6 days, 5 nights (June 19-24th 2008) and loved every minute of it. We stayed in Building 11- pretty close to the beach. To start, the staff was very helpful and fun to be around. Kudos to them! The drinks were good- David (curly hair) :D in the lobby bar introduced... more

Since the drinking age is 18 in Mexico, we ended up with a bunch of drunk, loud, foul mouth kids. Who had to openly and cruedly discuss there sexual activity. The hotel policy states, no spring breakers but allow... more

We are 4 people. Two adults, two teenage girls (16 and 14). We only lasted one day in the resort and changed... more

This was our 4th trip to an Iberostar. Stayed at two in the Domincan Republic and last November down in Playacar. This time the Del Mar, overall the resort was good, but the quality was lower than the other Iberostars. Service was good, but not great, food was OK but not great. Many times the food at the buffet ran... more

not happy with check in service...took a lot longer than I felt was necessary Once checked in, enjoyed the rooms, the pool, and the food shuttle service was almost non existant disappointed that Playa Del Carmen shuttle service discontinued, since it is still advertised as "available' Good Hotel for children. Good entertainment in evening, and even an extra afternoon show... more

Stayed at Del Mar for 7days with my husband and two teenagers (14 & 18). The food was fantastic. Always presented nicely and great variety. Something for everyone. Food available somewhere 24/7. (try the taco & crepes place in the shopping mall) The speciality restaraunts were awesome. We tried the Japaneese, Steakhouse, Mexican, and Brazilian. All were fancy and delicious.... more
