I had the most amazing stay at this resort! The property is beautifully lush and full of vibrant wildlife, creating such a tropical vibe. The rooms were lovely, but a bit dated. The staff is friendly and goes above and beyond to make your experience memorable. The dining options were fantastic with so much variety, but I found a few areas could use improvement. Overall, it felt like great value for a relaxing vacation!

I recently had a wonderful stay at Iberostar Tucan, where the beach and wildlife were simply amazing. The ambiance was enhanced by the friendly atmosphere created by the staff and other guests, but I do feel the resort could put more emphasis on the local culture in its entertainment offerings. While the rooms were comfortable, they are a bit dated, and the dining experience was generally good, though not without its flaws, particularly regarding the drink quality. Overall, I appreciate the eco-friendly initiatives, but some aspects could be better addressed.

The resort is nestled in a beautiful jungle that’s home to various wildlife. It was a joy to watch howler monkeys and other animals right in front of us. However, the presence of animals can make walking barefoot a bit unsanitary.

My family and I had an unforgettable stay! The kids' club was a highlight for my daughter, especially thanks to amazing staff like Julio. The food was absolutely delicious, and the animation team really made our vacation special. However, I did feel that there could be improvements in accommodating VIP members and more nightlife options for adults.

My stay at Iberostar Playacar was a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I loved how friendly the staff was, especially the kids club team. However, I did have a bit of a hiccup during checkout concerning an unclear charge, and there were issues with the air conditioning in the room. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but improvements could be made on the service front.

We had a decent stay at the Iberostar Tucan. The property is beautiful with well-maintained grounds and a lovely beach. However, the rooms were a bit outdated and could use some improvements. The concierge service was disappointing due to their pushy tactics, which took away from the overall experience. Fortunately, the dining experience was enjoyable and offered a variety of options.

I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel, thanks to its beautiful jungle surroundings and the stunning wildlife roaming freely. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I appreciated the adult-only pool atmosphere. However, I did face some challenges securing lounge chairs and found the service regarding resort credits a bit misleading. Overall, it was a good value for the price, but improvements could enhance the experience.
