Delicious Buffet Experience

“The buffet at the Grand Paradise truly impressed me with its variety and quality. I enjoyed ample choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with highlights being the grill and pasta stations. The food was flavorful, and while not gourmet, it certainly met my expectations for a resort.” view full review

Spacious and Comfortable Room

“I was pleasantly surprised by the super saver room we stayed in. It was exceptionally spacious, featuring two rooms and a large bathroom. The high ceilings made it feel even more open, and the numerous windows offered a beautiful view without needing to jump on the bed. It felt more like a suite than just a room.” view full review

Impressive Bathroom Space

“The bathroom in my room was quite large and well-maintained. Although there was a hiccup with hot water on the first day, once that was resolved, I enjoyed hot showers throughout my stay. The cleanliness was consistent, which contributed to my overall satisfaction.” view full review

Fun Activities for Kids

“There were plenty of activities around the pool area that my kids absolutely loved. They enjoyed the mini pool designed specifically for smaller children and the gaming area with ping pong, pool tables, and foosball. It was reassuring to see them engaged and having a great time.” view full review

This resort offers a beautiful setting with well-maintained rooms and excellent dining options. The beach is stunning and not overcrowded, making it a perfect spot to relax. However, the nightly entertainment could use a bit more organization, and smoking seems to be prevalent even in non-smoking areas, which can be an issue. Overall, it's a great value for money, especially with the fantastic food and attentive service.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this resort. The food was delicious and there were plenty of options, and the beach area was great with ample loungers available. However, I was disappointed with the check-in process, as it was confusing and not done at the main reception. The entertainment options were lacking at night, and the constant beach vendors became overwhelming at times.

The pool area was nice, although a bit chilly at first, but very clean and well-kept. There were plenty of activities to join during the day, but evening social spaces felt limited.
