It's so wobderful to know clients loved my recomendations! This is Joia Paraido by Iberostar.
:We had a great time at the resort. Our room was PERFECT, super well-appointed and spotless. And you were right about the location.
Golf was fabulous! It worked out so much better this week verses the week we were supposed to go. The course was fun and challenging. Met a lot of great people along with some monkeys and other wild creatures. The staff was amazing.
Speaking of staff, the hotel staff great everywhere we went. I could not say a bad word about anyone.
The food was good too. Mexican was amazing, Italian was also, Steakhouse was good, French was good, Asian not so good and we didn't do the hibachi dinner. Matter fact, I had lobster every day!
The only thing we weren't crazy about was the only place to sit down at lunch was the buffet. I enjoy a sit-down restaurant or two where it's quiet and we can enjoy a glass of wine in a pretty atmosphere. But, in no means was it a deal breaker, because sometimes the buffet worked out perfectly. For example, after a hard day on the golf course, we were starving and got to eat immediately! Same for breakfast, we enjoy a sit-down breakfast option.
Now, I assure you, the buffet was outstanding.
Another really nice point about this property was all the golf cart rides anywhere you wanted to go. One day we were way down at the furthest Iberostar property after walking through all of them, we went up to the valet and they got us a cart back to JOIA within minutes.
The spa on the property was lovely, we used it twice. But the spa at the Mall area was even better! We both got massages and facials and used all the amenities.
So happy I watched the Youtube video and got a chance to meet you!
