Everything was excellent. Ricardo who is the Bell captain. Is incredible, along with the others that work with him. The only thing I’ve noticed in the last few years of going there is the house wine is not nearly as good and others have noticed as well.

This is the nicest resort (in the Cancun area) that we've ever stayed in! We've been to 7 others (in Cancun) and this was beyond our expectations. First off, the hotel is absolutely beautiful. The artwork is Renaissance era, which I happen to love and the floors shine like glass. Our room and restroom were very spacious. The beach is the cleanest beach we've ever seen. They constantly pick up the seaweed throughout the day. The beach has a small rocky area that is unswimmable but to the left of the resort is a nice sized sandy beach. We always had a chair on the beach without having to "reserve" it early in the morning

As much as I hate giving this Resort only 4 stars, but after going there for over 7 years, we noticed that the rooms is a little shabby here is the negatives 1- the shower water is controlled, which makes you take a longer shower, and having a rain shower is useless 2- The Hot Tubs by the quiet pool is ice cold, which was a major disappointment this year, not sure if they trying to save money, but it totally angered yes. The other Hot Tubs are always crowded and that area is very noisy. That was not very nice Iberostar 3- The lines to have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner at the Buffet is absolutely ridiculous, one time we waited 20 minutes. They need to develop a better system Because of the above we are considering other options next year. The staff is wonderful, no complains in this area

5th trip, next one already booked!

We discovered this gem about 2 years ago and we continue to return (every time I have booked another resort, I have ended up cancelling and we go back to JOIA/Grand Paraiso, it’s a “sure thing”!) What makes us such big fans? -spectacular, over the top facilities and decor (beyond impressive lobby, marble everywhere, gorgeous finishings and fixtures, flowers, lush grounds…) -All restaurants are air conditioned, with a very high end atmosphere -exceptional food -top shelf liquor/masterfully prepared cocktails -friendly and welcoming staff that go above and beyond -we have not had problems getting into our desired restaurants -ample pool chairs with shade options, we have never had to get out early to “compete” for a spot (as is so often the case at other resorts) We previously were loyal guests at Excellence Playa Mujeres for over a decade (more than 20 trips) but JOIA has become our new “go to”. This resort is packed with repeat guests who have come to appreciate everything that makes this place so special. Looking forward to our return next month!
