Iberostar Tucan

Iberostar Tucan

All-Inclusive

Resort Rating: 5 Golden

Location: Riviera Maya

The magnificent Iberostar Tucan is a very popular All-Inclusive resort, nestled across 28 acres of lush jungle with a spectacular beachfront and artistic flair. Literally immersed in vegetation, stone laid walkways wind through a light forest of trees, with restaurants on raised platforms peering over lagoons filled with tropical goldfish. A gigantic thatched palapa rises over the lobby, with statues of Mayan figures and a pyramid shaped kiosk bar. Covered marble walkways lined with blue pillars pass beneath Mayan arches, leading to specialty restaurants and the main self serve Tulum dining room. An immense tri-sectioned pool appears like an oasis on the edge of the jungle. Watersports and world-class diving instruction are offered in the crystal-clear aqua Caribbean.

The Iberostar Tucan is located within walking distance from town of Playa del Carmen and minutes from the archeological park Xcaret, and right next to an 18-hole golf course.

This unique hotel offers 350 rooms in individual Bungalow style buildings. Keeping in perfect harmony with the ecology and environment, each Bungalow is surrounded by 28 acres of lush and exuberant tropical gardens. The pools encompass 2 acres of water, featuring one standard free flowing pool with a center island covered with palm trees and jacuzzi, one activities pool, quiet pool for adults only, and kiddie pool.
