The grounds were beautiful but the service and food quality were very poor. We were a party of 14 and everyone had issues with their rooms in regards to humidity and smell. The front desk staff were very nice and professional but we still had to pay an extra $360 for a better room with no smell… ridiculous. My family and I will never stay there again .

We were at the iberostar quetzal for a week in September. Here is what I have to say about the resort. We were very impressed with the resort and had such a great time, with a few things to note. The food was great for all inclusive, the beach was gorgeous, DO NOT miss the fire show it was incredible. Our room was nice and felt authentic although there was a sewage smell outside unfortunately. Beds were very comfortable. Absolutely NO noise was heard from outside our room which was amazing. Our room was right at the entrance of the resort, it took no more than 5 minutes to walk from our room to the beach. Beaches have umbrellas built in, be prepared to wake up early if you want a chair on the beach many people would put a towel on chairs and just leave them there all day to save their spot without coming back until the afternoon, which was kind of annoying. But the beach was beautiful, water was INCREDIBLE. They do their best to keep everyone entertained, always something going on if you felt like you wanted to participate. We thought the drinks were great and not watered down at all. We payed $35 for sunscreen at the gift shop. Pack it before you get there. Staff was always pleasant and friendly. All in all it was an amazing spot to stay and we found ourselves talking about future trips there, we are excited to stay again.

Although the property is getting older, it remains nice, and the staff tries their best to ensure guests enjoy themselves. They offer a variety of food options, they provide exercise activities, have a massage/spa package, and they have a very eco friendly setting with wildlife on the property.

Let me preface this review by saying that we’ve been at Iberostar Tucan/Quetzal 2 times in the past 2 years. The resort we have in our memory is nothing compared to what it got turned into right now. Here are some points of what made this Iberostar Quetzal vacation a total nightmare: 1. Fire Alarm testing: It routinely had to happen every other day, if not every day, in the middle of the day, while we were taking a nap. Usually it would last about 2-3 minutes or so, which I guess was ok. BUT on the last day, it lasted for 30 uninterrupted minutes (even though when called the front desk they said it should be no longer than 5 minutes). We thought it was all and we can finally rest BUT NO — it still kept going on and off every 1-3 minutes and lasting for 2-3 minutes each time. The total time of this insanity lasted MORE THAN 2 HOURS. So you can imagine, taking a daytime nap was impossible at this place. Maybe they expected us to be at the beach from morning to the evening? I don’t know… Also, turns out that they made housekeeping go and silence the alarm every time it went off, at least that’s what we observed a few times. The management/security didn’t even bother to put the alarm in silent mode or something until we went and spoke to the manager. 2. The first room we were placed in had a strong smell of paint and someone was hammering non-stop in the room next door. Thankfully, we were able to switch the room but the only other available room required us to pay extra $150

Located right on the beach. However since the property is so vast, depending on where your room is, getting to the beach might be a walk. We didn't mind, in fact we loved that walk and the wildlife that we saw. The staff are very friendly and the food choices are wonderful. The food is high quality. We were not disappointed. The rooms could use an upgrade. The power outlets were very inconveniently located. We would definitely visit again
