Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often praise the spacious and well-maintained rooms at Paradise Beach Resort & Spa. The hotel boasts multiple swimming pools, ensuring there's always space for a relaxing dip. Dining receives positive attention for its variety, with many appreciating the fresh food and juice options at the buffet, though some found the main buffet menu somewhat repetitive.

Adequate stay, some minor setbacks

breakfast buffet helpful staff big bed seaweed beach reception issue room lizards

The breakfast buffet was good. The chefs were nice, especially when entering the dining room. The reception staff were always helpful and responded quickly. I also enjoyed the big bed.

The beach in front of the hotel does not match the pictures, I observed a lot of seaweed and a significant tide. I noticed 7 lizards in the room. No one came to help us.

helpful staff friendly staff food variety swimming pools musty smell strong smell evening entertainment expensive taxi

The staff members were very helpful and friendly. I appreciated the variety of food offered. (The desserts were great!). The hotel has three swimming pools, so finding a spot was easy.

The curtains had a musty smell, and I found that unpleasant. There was no entertainment in the hotel past 10 p.m. There is nothing nearby the hotel. You need a taxi, and it costs around $50 per trip.
