This sprawling beachront hotel, one of the finest all-inclusive properties in the Riviera Maya, greets guests with a replica of the pyramid-shaped temple at Chichen Itza in its lobby bar. Nearly as architecturally distinctive is Playa Paraiso, the resort’s P.B. Dye-designed golf course, which features conspicuous mounds and bold contours coupled with slender fairways, cavernous bunkers, and numerous water features. The layout, opened in 2005, is surfaced from tee-to-green in paspalum, the salt-tolerant turfgrass that is driving the growth of golf throughout coastal Mexico. Iberostar Paraiso Maya
