Plus: I book this hotel because of it's good review and it turns out to be true. It's nicely located next to their city hall which is pretty the center of the town. You're couple blocks away from the beach and the famous 5th ave so we're talking walking distances. Our concierge Pedro is very nice and friendly from day 1 communicating on emails. The other staff makes you feels welcome too, Conrad and Gabrielle comes to mind. Complimentary breakfast is nice and I get to stuff my face. All and all they get it, you'll leave feeling money well spend and wanting to come back.

Plus: Excellent value for the money. Great location walk to everything. Full apartments with kitchen, living room, and bedroom. The owner was very helpful. My rental car had a dead battery when I was leaving. He jump started our car and and got us on our way.

Plus: Loved it! My boyfriend and I had a great time. Really quaint, beautiful, affordable, and close to the beach. Patrizio, the manager, was wonderful. Will definitely return.

Plus: The location.

Plus: The location was good, a pleasant walk from the beach and the center of the tourist part of town. The room was very comfortable.

Plus: The accommodations were wonderful; rooms were beautiful. The evening restaurants were good. The grounds are beautifully kept. We enjoyed the evening showing and the pool/beach activities. Easy 10 minute walk to PlayaCar for souvenirs.

Plus: The grounds are beautiful, impeccably cleaned, the jungle animals are fun to watch.

Plus: The beach and pool are amazing and HUGE! The food in the restaurants was excellent. The food at the buffet was good. They did a great job of trying to include foods at the buffet that would appeal to guests from all countries, and it gave us a chance to try different foods that we would never typically order in a restaurant. There were always snacks and ice cream available by the pool, which was great. The entertainment staff, Star Friends, was amazing! They work around the clock to entertain the guests and always seem to have activities, games, or shows going on that are actually entertaining, whether you're participating or just watching. The nightly shows were a bit hit or miss, but they get an A+ for effort and enthusiasm. For some of the shows, they brought in professional dancers or entertainers and those were excellent. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The refrigerator was restocked daily with water, soda, and beer. The drinks were weak, but we liked that since we could drink all day at the beach and all night at the bars without being too affected by the alcohol! The disco was a great place to listen to music and relax at night after the shows. It wasn't very busy when we were there, but the bartenders were amazing and so friendly! We never felt pressured to tip anyone, and they almost seemed surprised when we did tip them. Overall, our trip was amazing!

Plus: The Iberostar Tucan / Quetzal is one of my favorite resorts in the Mexican Rivera Maya. The dining buffets are fine, and there's always some food offered that you've never tried. It's fun to experiment with new tastes. This was my fourth visit. The staff are very courteous and speak several languages. The fun begins with the jungle in the center of the resort. A large canopy of trees with well lit winding paths takes you from your room to the waterfront pools. New additions this year included a balcony overlooking the flamingo pond, a boardwalk in the center of the jungle, and a new waterfall with Mayan statues hidden in the rocks. The wild animals living in the jungle run free and appear tame, but you are warned not to feed them. Peacocks are everywhere, and you can get some great photos of the males spreading out their huge feathers. If you stay near buildings 14 and 13 expect to have howler monkeys swinging through the treetops to get to their feeding areas. They wake up at dawn with ferocious howls that remind you that, yes, you are far from home and now in a tropical paradise.

Plus: John-Paul, was very nice and very helpful.
