The all-inclusive Iberostar Paraiso Lindo is located right on the beachfront in the Playa del Carmen resort area of Mexico.

Whether looking for relaxation or adventure, the Iberostar is popular with all types of leisure travelers and particularly families.

Low-lying terracotta resort buildings are set amid expansive grounds with quaint cobblestone walkways connecting the shopping plaza, public areas, pools and guest rooms.
