Is there anything better than a Caribbean vacation? Iberostar Selection Paraíso Maya Suites gives you the Caribbean experience while also placing you at the heart of the Mayan civilization, one of the most fascinating cultures of pre-Colombian America. Take in this millennia-old atmosphere at the lobby bar, a recreation of the legendary pyramid of Chichén Itzá. Soak in one of their 8 pools, including a lazy river that will make you feel like you’re floating through the Mexican jungle. Or jump in the wave pool if you want a safe environment to play in the waves.
