IBEROSTAR Paraiso Beach offers "all inclusive" services (i. e. fully inclusive). The rates include the use of a large variety of facilities and unlimited meals and beverages. Specialty restaurants are also available (reservation required) at no extra costs. Our experience is that all participants can meet in a variety of nice enviroments and enjoy high quality foods, a wide variety of beverages and services without any additional spending, which is very convenient.

Prices are in Mexican Pesos (MXN). The exchange rate is not fixed, just as a guide consider that $1 USD = $17 MXN. Please note that due to the "all inclusive" concept of this hotel the price is per person per night. For example: the price for two adults sharing a room will be 2x$1,522 = $3,044 MXN (around $179 USD). Children 13 and older will pay as adults. The first children (3 - 12) is free. Then, a room with two adults and two children below 13 will be $3,805 MXN (around 224 USD), including unlimited meals and wide variety of beverages and hotel activites (beach, swimming pool, theater, etc.).

The hotel Convention Center offers all the required facilities for high quality scientific meetings.

Six inviting bars and snack bars are located throughout the hotel for cocktails and light dining, while 24-hour room service is ready to serve you whenever you like, everything with no extra cost.
