Travelers Didn't Love:

• There was a shortage of beach and pool chairs and/or people "reserved" more than they needed


• The two hour bus ride from the airport to get to the resort


• Many people complained that there were long wait times for everything - this is especially true at the busiest times of year January through April


• There was a lack of shade on the beach with very few palapas


• It didn't feel like there was enough staff for the number of guests

Tips for Staying at Memories Paraiso Beach All Inclusive

• Reserve the a la carte restaurants early as they book up quickly


• "Diamond Club" value depends on what you like - it includes premium alcohol, upfront reservations at the a la carte restaurants, bath robes, butler service at the beach and better rooms


• For a very quiet room try requesting bungalow 54 on the 2nd floor


• Travelers recommend the catamaran/dolphin trip


• Some travelers were able to get around the reservation process for the a la carte restaurants by tipping the maitre-de


• Exchange your money at the bank just inside the town square for a better exchange rate (and quicker service) than at the reception desk
