Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Joia Paraíso falsely presents itself as a 5-star resort. In reality, it is barely a 3-star property, and that is being generous. The rooms were dirty, unsanitary, and filled with strong musty odors. The smell was so severe that we were forced to demand a room change. Even after relocation, the replacement room was still not properly cleaned, clearly indicating systemic housekeeping failures. Room service was unacceptably slow, and nearly every request was met with attempts to charge additional fees. When these issues were escalated, management displayed complete indifference, responding with rigid policies instead of solutions. There was zero hospitality mindset. On Christmas Eve, we requested a specific dining time and were deliberately pushed to a late seating. A server explicitly stated this was because we booked through Expedia, confirming discriminatory treatment based on booking source. This is not only unprofessional—it is unacceptable. Despite the resort having fewer than 300 guests, staff aggressively controlled seating areas and restricted where guests were allowed to sit, creating an unwelcoming and hostile environment. The resort was slow, yet operated with arrogance instead of service. The food quality was low-grade and unsafe. Multiple members of our group suffered gastrointestinal illness, requiring a visit to the on-site clinic. Being charged for medical care resulting from food served by the resort is unacceptable. This property is grossly misrepresente

My wife and I loved our stay at Joia by Paraiso. We took a 10 day vacation away from our busy lives and the kids. The staff was always friendly and gave generally great service. The food at the buffet varied every night and was amazing. We tried the restaurants and the food was a little too fancy for us so we don’t have much of an opinion here other than sometimes the service there was good and sometimes it was just ok. The entertainment team was great. There are many activities everyday and they keep things fun. Jules, Raymundo, Pedro, Cassadra and Mala stood out to me. The daily crazy games are a must. The pool bar is the place to be in the afternoon and the barmen there give a great service (Luis, Saulo and Gabriel). You get access to all the other lobbies as well which is great. Golf course right on site, I didn’t get to play on this trip but some other guests had good comments on the course conditions. We went scuba diving with Dressel Divers that have a dive center right on site (it’s at another lobby so a 5-10min golf cart trip), we purchased a package that included different dives and it was great (we’re certified divers). The rooms were the best i’ve had in any all inclusive resort even if we got the basic room. We didn’t always go to the shows but when we did they were pretty good. The rock show was absolutely amazing with the lead guitarist being the best i’ve seen live performing all the solos. We loved our trip and chances are that we will be back at this resort.
