But that s what the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso has done over the last 36 hours. During that short span, I ve played a fun P.B. Dye golf course (Playa Paraiso) , ate lobster at every meal and enjoyed the services of a personal butler. Now that s a five-star vacation.
These Iberostar resorts are sprawling cruise-ship-on-land palaces that cater to every budget, whim and taste. westin bonaventure hotel I didn t get up in time for the breakfast buffet westin bonaventure hotel yesterday, westin bonaventure hotel but I was told it was unreal. I can vouch that the lunch buffet was a treat (grilled lobster, a Caesar salad with my own choice of vegetables made right before my eyes, flat-bread pizzas, shrimp, etc.). The past two dinners at the Grand s Japanese and American westin bonaventure hotel steak houses have been all-world.
Even though it hosts a PGA Tour event, Cancun has never been high on my radar for golf. The service and all-inclusive experience at Playa Paraiso has changed my outlook. Want five beers on the course? Go ahead and order six, free of charge. Want tequila or snacks or rental clubs? All included as well.
P.B. Dye known for his wild shapes and eclectic designs is the perfect architect for golf in Mexico and the Caribbean. His mounding and bunkering and creative greens give life to the mostly flat terrain at Playa Paraiso. The green at the par-5 seventh is a perfect example. I ll defer any description to the yardage guide. I quote Three, four and five putts are not uncommon. This may be the toughest green you ll play all year. Yep, that s P.B. for you. A massive three-tiered green might be gimmicky elsewhere, but it works here.
Another round of golf comes today at another Iberostar-owned course, the Iberostar Cancun Golf Club . It s supposed to be flatter and a little more traditional and the perfect complement to Playa Paraiso. Even if I play like a dog a possibility westin bonaventure hotel consider the tequila flowing around here I can always look forward to the pampering I ll receive at The Grand.
