going in march with 3 kids..which is the most lux..lindo or tucan other possibility is RUI Palace riviera maya?

I think the Iberostar Maya is the most deluxe, just a bit nicer than the Lindo. The Tucan is on a nice beach in Playacar. It looks nice, great location, nothing fancy.
The Riu Palace Riviera Maya is the newest resort.

We just stayed at the Iberostar Paraiso Beach/Del Mar and it was the worst vacation of our lives. The food and drinks were terrible, the resort staff was non-responsive, and 27 of the 30 guests in our party fell ill at some point during the week for 2-3 days each. That is 90% of the guests in our party and includes 3 of the 4 members of my immediate family.

Hope this helps.

wow, Jeff, you answered every one of these with the same answer. It seems to me if you answered on a more individual basis that your answer would seem more valid. After awhile, seeing every post of yours exactly the same, it just looks like you have some kind of chip on your shoulder...

frankie,
I was thinking the same thing.
We LOVED the Iberostar Paraiso. The Lindo is more lux than the Tucan. The Maya and Lindo share just about all facilities. The Maya has two restaurants that are reserved for Maya guests only and also has elevators.
