First time visiting this past first week of January! We loved it! Thanks for the videos! Watched a few before we went and I actually saw you both there, but was too shy to say hi. Oh man, I remember the airport scene! A little overwhelming! The resort was beautiful and the staff were all amazing! Trip of a lifetime and we think about it every day!
We were so excited to see you guys were back on RUclips! We loved your video and we are so excited for the shout out! You guys are great! For anyone who wants an honest review of this resort, this is definitely where you want to be. Thank you for sharing your vacation with us and your honesty!
Last year we went to another resort (in Jamaica) and 3 people recognized me from that resort's Facebook page and came up to me to say hi. Felt like a celebrity! Thanks for your view of the villa, we know it is NOT for us now. But the resort looks really nice. It's on our list as a possibility in the near future.
Thank you for the video, me and my wife are struggling to decide. Ive been to the Maya resort there in 2004.. The Grand is very nice. It’s at this point £2000 more than the Maya. For two weeks. Looks like mostly older people there, like us.. but to be honest the hotel reminds me of the first class in the Titanic movie.. if you know what I mean. Im not sure if thats me. But the food and the service look amazing.. plus I can go to all the other resorts there. Im very much an introvert, but love people watching…. Thanks again, keep up the fun ! 🍻
Hi and thanks for watching. I'm a fellow introvert, as is my wife, which is one of the reasons we loved the IGP. The key selling point for us for the IGP is that it's adults only (we don't hate children - we have four, but when kids are around, they're very THERE and noticeable) and it's not a party resort. It's really perfect for people over 45 looking for a break.
@@AlainGrandemange thank you for you response. I totally understand. Look forward to more of your videos. Oh and by the way i love the look on your face when the your puppy is wanting your attention.. Cheers 🍻
Couldn’t quite catch the audio. Did you say the pool was cold? Paying extra for private pools or swimouts that are too cold to use is on my dealbreaker list.
Hi! Yes, the pool at the villa (at least when we go) is sooo cold, it's nearly unusable. My wife won't get in it, and i only go in it to say I took advantage of the pool, but otherwise, no, it's crazy cold (like, probably in the 40s or 50s cold). The private pool is definitely not a reason to stay in a villa. The private space around the pool, absolutely.
hi! Given those two choices, 100% ocean front. My philosophy, in life we have a finite amount of experiences... need to make the most of each one. you never know which one will be your last.
Thanks for watching. This video has a walkthrough of the villas but is essentially a discussion about the worthiness of the villas. We have several other videos that have plenty of content from the IGP. Hope you watch those.

It's an odd feeling to be recognized, but I don't hate it :) Thank you for watching!

Would you recommend an ocean front room over a pool view room? Is it worth the price? We love seeing and hearing the ocean from our balcony.

Could not see Iberostar Grand Paraíso. I’ve been there several times.
