Beautiful property with kind, attentive staff. Our rooms were spotless each day and the grounds are gorgeous. We enjoyed every meal and had top notch service at each restaurant. Beach had some sargassum but the resort seemed to be constantly working to remove it. Only suggestion- our rooms were far from breakfast locations and it would’ve been nice to at least have coffee available closer to beach area.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Iberostar Tucan, but there are a few things to be aware of. The rooms are quite outdated — some of the light fixtures didn’t work, and there were very few power outlets, which was a bit inconvenient. Other than that, everything was great: the territory is well-maintained, and the overall experience was positive.

The animals on property were a big hit for our adult children and ourselves! The dining options were awesome (esp Japonese!) We loved every staff and wish we could have stayed! We were there during a time of high sargassum and this was not even an issue as we had so much to do on property. The beach/sand was still beautiful, the pool was awesome and so many activities. I highly recommend!

Overall, it was a great stay. Many amenities, beautiful place and staff is amazing. In our bedroom, mini bar was not working properly and no working ice machine - but those were things we managed. Definitely would recommend and go back
