Opening the first week of December 2004 on Playa Paraiso between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Mexico, the all-inclusive Iberostar Paraiso Mayawill be the highest tier addition to the Iberostar resorts located in the area. With 432 suites and two presidential suites, this five-star resort forms a twin hotel with Iberostar Paraiso Lindo.

Design elements throughout the lobby and in the guest rooms are reminiscent of the Mayan culture including a huge chandelier in the form of a snake in the lobby area. The suites, centered around a flower-filled courtyard, are built in thatch-roofed buildings to replicate a Mexican village.
