Not quite sure why the Tucan and Quetzal are on this site as separate hotels as they are one really, sharing everything. We actually booked for Quetzal but were put in Tucan on arrival but theres little difference. Stayed May 4-18th and this was our first trip to Mexico and I picked the Quetzal because of the beach location, large... More

We stayed here for 10 nights in March. The accommodation was very nice, clean and spacious room and stylish decor. We stayed near the reception in the Quetzal part, probably a room nicer to the beach would have been better, but this was ok too. The only negative about the room was that we had two smaller double bed, instead... More

I have to say I agree with a lot of the review from lindyloop. We have just returned from a two week stay. We were a group of 8 who booked well over nine months ago at a cost of £13,000! Not cheap, the only two requests we made when booking were that our party, divided into four couples were... More

This is a very, very long review so, if like us, you appreciate a detailed and accurate review, then pour yourself another big drink, turn off your phone, settle down and read on to find out why this hotel is in no shape or form a 5-star hotel.
