Iberostar expands Mexican portfolio

Iberostar has opened a new adults only all-suite hotel, the Iberostar Grand Hotel Para’so, on Mexico’s Mayan Riviera.This new opening brings the total number of Iberostar properties in Mexico to eight; all are five star.

Situated on the white sand Playa Para’so Beach, the Iberostar Grand Hotel Para’so is the first property outside Europe to feature Iberostar’s new personalised butler and concierge service.  The service was launched in April at Iberostar’s flagship property in Spain, the Iberostar Grand Hotel Anthelia.  There are two levels of service available: The Butler and Concierge Service andGrand Star Service.  Butler and Concierge Service is offered to guests inStandard & Ocean View Suites, and includes champagne on arrival, a personalised pillow menu, an evening cocktail service, restaurant, spa and activity reservations, and daily newspaper delivery.  Grand Star Service is offered to guests in the Ocean Front Suites, and in addition to the above includes luggage unpacking, pressing and re-packing, and private transport within the resort complex.  This resort includes four other Iberostar properties: Paraiso del Mar, Paraiso Beach, Paraiso Lindo, and Paraiso Maya.

Heike Genshow, Marketing Director for Iberostar Hotels & Resorts comments ‘Mexico is an extremely popular destination for the UK market, and we have noticed a significant increase in demand for luxury properties there.  As such, we felt it was the ideal location to launch our new Butler and Concierge Service.  The Iberostar product in the destination is already well known for its outstanding service, but we hope that this new service will help to further differentiate Iberostar from its competition on the Mayan Riviera.  Thanks to the great success we’ve had in Mexico so far, we also plan to continue to expand our luxury portfolio in the destination over the next few years or so.’


The Iberostar Grand Hotel Para’so features 120 Ocean-Front Suites, 10 Secluded Villa Suites, 45 Ocean-View Suites and 135 Standard Suites.  Room features include Jacuzzis designed for two, luxurious marble bathrooms complete with Gilchrist & Soames amenities, satellite interactive TV complete with DVD player, CD Clock Radio, iPod / MP3 compatible Docking Station, and Nightly Turn Down Service.  24 hour deluxe room service is also offered as standard.
