"Excellent Holiday at Iberostar Tucan"

Situated just a 5 minute from Playacars small shopping centre, with plenty gift shop and craft stalls. There are about 8 public phones to use, so just buy a 100 peso card and it will last about 45 minutes to the UK, don't phone from the Hotel. Take a taxi for 50 peso's (£2) into Playa Del Carmen which will take 5 minutes and there is plenty night life on 5th Avenue. It is full of shops, bars and eating establishments and has some very nice designer shops as well. Just remember to agree the price before you go into the taxi.

OverallExcellent Hotel

Just returned from two weeks at the Iberostar Tucan and it was probably the best holiday we have had. The hotel is just fantastic and the staff superb. It is set in part jungle with monkey's swinging from the trees, Iguana's walking about the various paths ...

OverallPoor Hotel

This hotel is old and tired and needs a complete overhall compared to the other hotels around this area. We have stayed in other hotels in this area on 3 occasions and they are modern and bright and pleasant. This hotel is dismal and the paint work in the r...

"Iberostar Tucan"

Submitted in August 2008 by: David & Yvonne

Operator: First Choice

Playacar has a nice little shopping centre about 10 mins casual walk from the hotel which is a reasonable selection of shops. Taxis cost $5 to go into Playa del Carmen 5th avenue is well worth a look at with a great selection of shops & bars.

stayed at the riu hotels all inclusive. there is so much to see and do you will need to be selective and the costs are very reasonable. these are a few of our favourates xcaret.. a must a all day experince but you simply must stay for the evening shows that will blow you mind. expect to arrive 10 am & depart 9.45pm ( arrange this youself don't use the reps)you can do the dolphin swim if you book early on arrival or watch for free tullum / xel.ha simalar to xcarret not as large but book with a small tour again avoid the large reps tour buses. chichen itza one of the seven wonders . coba again simalar to chichen itza but combine zip ride and cool swims in cool caverns. swim with whale sharks not to be missed. swim on reef again a must see do. fishing, site seeing. cancun shops / night life as for duty free visit walmart ASDA in playa car its cheaper thn the airport and you can arrange many of the trips at reduced rates here also

"Playacar - safe and quiet. "

Submitted in July 2008 by: Ali Hopkin

Operator: Thomson

Playacar quiet and safe, the taxi drivers are very nice. Price your trip before you get in. But they all seemed genuine and happy to be of help.

Just returned from Riu Yucatan June 2008. Took 2 week break. Quite worried about weather looking at the forecast for June but needn't have worried - it was scorching apart from 1 day cloudy and 1 morning rain and thunder. Hotel very good but not 5* in my es...
