Has anybody stay at the IBEROSTAR at Playa del Carmen? I would like to know how is the hotel, rooms, service, activities, food, all your advises will be greatly appreciated.

I am also curious about the differences between the Iberostar resorts in Playa del Carmen. (Paraiso Beach/Paraiso del Mar and the Tucan/Quetzal) Would like any comments and/or comparisons from those who have stayed there. Thx.

I was there January 2000. Overall, I'd say it's a very nice place. The lobby is gorgeous, the grounds are beautiful, the rooms are spacious and clean with small balconies, though nothing fancy. <BR> <BR>The food ranged from fair to very good-always a lot to choose from. The pre-mixed frozen drinks were disappointing. <BR> <BR>The beach is nice, but small. It was too windy to swim most of the time we were there, so we used the pool more - which is also beautiful. The pool area gets crowded, so it is often hard to find places to sit. <BR> <BR>There are plenty of activities during the day- water aerobics, dance lessons, scuba lessons, volleyball, ping pong, etc. There are also plenty of tour operators on-hand to arrange any trips you may want to take. <BR> <BR>There is some sort of show every night - singing/dancing - game shows with guests - magic shows etc, though I'd have to say you wouldn't be missing anything if you never went. There was a disco that opened at 11:00pm each night that we never made it to. <BR> <BR>If you decide to go-have a great time! <BR> <BR>

We've stayed at Iberostar properties other than Mexico and found them wonderful but wanted specifics. Which Iberostar hotel are you commenting on? There are 2 properties/ 4 hotels in the area.

I was commenting on the Tucan/Quetzal property. They are really the same place- just two different sides of the same hotel with slightly different decor. <BR> <BR>I am not familiar with the Paraiso properties.
