This video is for informational purposes only. We try to bring you an authentic review based on our experiences. We pay for our own trips and the resorts do NOT know that we make videos about our stay. Our opinions are our own.
We believe that the food and beverages play an integral role in choosing an all-inclusive resort. The Iberostar Grand Paraiso Resort and Spa in the Riviera Maya / Cancun area of Mexico levels up their food and beverage game when compared to the many other resorts in the area.
The bars craft some excellent cocktails made with top shelf liquors. Rhapsody Bar was our favorite bar followed closely by the El Mirador lobby bar. There is care behind the beverages at the Grand. Even the house wines which at many resorts are cheap but drinkable, they are a step above here.
The restaurants are considered to be Gourmet and you can see the effort behind the dishes at all of the restaurants.
The Grand buffet, Bella Vista, is one of the best buffets we have been to at an all-inclusive resort. It is not Vegas level of good but it is a step above most other resort buffets. There is plenty of seafood, steaks, lobster, crab etc and the culinary inspirations change daily.
There are 6 a la carte restaurants:
Toni’s Surf and Turf – steaks and seafood
Venecia – Italian
L’ Atelier – French
Haiku – Japanese (Sushi, a la carte, and Teppanyaki)
La Brisa – Mexican (a la carte & raw bar dinner/outdoor Cevecheria for lunch)
Overall, we really enjoyed the food and the beverages at the Iberostar Grand. There were some misses and disappointments but there were more excellent dishes and superb service so it did not detract from our vacation.
The menus in the video are current at the Grand at the time of this video. They are always subject to change. Many of the menus can be found at Iberostar.com.
