I had a fantastic experience at this resort, with beautiful grounds teeming with wildlife, including monkeys and peacocks. The beach and pool areas were lovely and spacious, perfect for relaxing. While the food at the buffet had its days of lack of variety, the a la carte restaurants, especially the Japanese, stood out with excellent offerings. One downside was the resort's popularity on weekends, leading to overcrowding, which made some areas less enjoyable.

The facilities were solid, with beautiful pools and ample lounging space. Just a note, the pool has a single depth which may not suit younger children well.

I had a fantastic time at the Iberostar Tucan in Playa del Carmen! The resort is beautifully maintained with friendly staff that truly go above and beyond. My room was perfect, and the beach was simply stunning. However, the dining options didn't fully meet my expectations, particularly for someone looking for a wider variety of healthy choices. Also, the issue with loungers on the beach was a bit frustrating, requiring early mornings to secure a spot. Overall, it's a wonderful place to unwind, but a couple of improvements would make it even better.

I had an absolutely wonderful time at the resort! The surroundings were lush with beautiful flowers, trees, and even some wildlife like howler monkeys. The beach was great, though we faced rough sea conditions on a few days. Dining options were diverse and the food was delicious overall. However, finding a pool chair was quite a challenge some days. Still, I would definitely consider returning for another exciting getaway!

I had a wonderful stay at Iberostar Tucan, where the service was outstanding and the resort grounds were beautiful and clean. The amenities, especially the pools and beach, were fantastic, making for a relaxing experience. However, the dining options, while generally good, had some inconsistencies, particularly in the buffet department. The rooms were comfortable, but I found the lounge chair situation by the pool to be a bit frustrating as it was challenging to find available spots at peak times.
