A Families and Couples Photoshoot at Iberostar Paraíso: Spots, Times and Prices

Here is how we plan a photoshoot at Iberostar Paraíso, from the first frame to the last light on the sand.

The Session at a Glance

• ResortThe Iberostar Paraíso complex groups several Iberostar resorts, including Grand Paraíso, Paraíso Lindo, Paraíso Maya and Paraíso del Mar, on Playa Paraíso between Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen
• Beach facesEast, onto the open Caribbean

Where We Shoot

The water's edge. Away from the pools and loungers, with only sea and sky behind you.

Gardens and terraces. Shade and green frames when the sun is high.

Sunrise or Sunset

Times for this beach on the 15th of each month in 2027.

The beach faces east: sunrise lifts out of the sea, and the hour before sunset is soft and even.

How the Photographer Gets In

For staying guests, there is no complicated paperwork: you register the photographer as your guest with the front desk a day or two before, and we check in on arrival. The vendor fee you may read about applies to weddings; for a private session, Iberostar Paraíso guests are very seldom asked for it, and we confirm the policy in writing before your date. If you are staying at another hotel, a day pass usually applies. More in our guide to outside photographers at resorts.

Sessions in the Riviera Maya, Through Our Lens
