The magnificent Iberostar Quetzal is a very popular All-Inclusive
resort, nestled across 28 acres of lush jungle with a spectacular
beachfront and artistic flair. Literally immersed in vegetation, stone
laid walkways wind through a light forest of trees, with restaurants
on raised platforms peering over lagoons filled with tropical
goldfish.
This hotel operates in conjunction with a second hotel, the Iberostar
Tucan, and the conjoined properties share a host of facilities on a
10-acre spread. A complimentary children's club and plenty of
child-friendly food further sweeten the deal, making this a popular
resort for families. Spring-breakers are discouraged by age-bracket
policies (at least one person age 25 or older is required in each
room).
Quetzal's lobby adheres to a Mexican colonial motif. The hotel shares
six restaurants with the Tucan. The main buffet restaurant, Tulum, has
an exhibition kitchen. The other dining areas include Marimba, which
offers a Continental breakfast alternative and functions as a steak
house and bar in the evening. Hacienda and Cozumel lay forth the
Mexican food, and Gondola does Italian. Guests can choose dinner at
one specialty restaurant for every two nights of eating buffet. Room
service is another option, and four bars (one on the beach, one in the
lobby, one a night club and one in the disco) keep guests happy.
A gigantic thatched palapa rises over the lobby, with statues of Mayan
figures and a pyramid shaped kiosk bar. Covered marble walkways lined
with blue pillars pass beneath Mayan arches, leading to specialty
restaurants.
The Iberostar Quetzal resort is located directly on the fine sandy
beach of Playacar, approximately 30 miles south of the Cancun
International Airport and only minutes away from the town of Playa del
Carmen. This unique hotel offers 350 rooms in individual Bungalow
style buildings.
Surrounded by spacious, tropical gardens, this complex blends
harmoniously into the landscape and features 350 elegant
bungalow-styled guestrooms divided into three-story buildings. The
guest rooms are well-standardized in 10 three-story structures fringed
with thatched eaves. The cool marble floors, brisk air-conditioning,
and cushioned sofas and armchairs make them refreshing respites from
the balmy air, and the bright walls and Mexican artwork give them
character Standard guestroom amenities include air conditioning with
ceiling fan, private bathrooms with shower and hairdryers, private
terrace or balcony, satellite color TV with remote control, mini bar,
direct-dial telephones and in-room safe deposit boxes.
Activities center on the four pools that take up the central part of
the hotel, and the complex holds plenty of palapa shade huts both here
and on the beach to keep guests from frying to a crisp. Besides the
main pool, which has an island whirlpool, guests enjoy an activities
pool, a quiet pool and a children's pool. Three lighted tennis courts
are on the premises, along with sailboards, kayaks and snorkeling gear
at the beach. Indoor and outdoor spa services are available, but at a
cost. A dive shop also operates on-site.
The hotel personnel is already waiting to make you enjoy our
extraordinary world of "All Inclusive" Iberostar. Find specialty
restaurants from many parts of the globe, refined or simple drinks,
domestic or imported. Feel hungry at a very late (or very early) hour?
No problem, there is always something to eat. Experience a great
culinary offer and enjoy endless details. Our daily activities program
offers a variety of social and recreational activities plus nightly
entertainment featuring live music and professional dances.
So whether you are a family, couple, group, or traveling solo, make
the Iberostar Quetzal your next Caribbean vacation destination. This
hotel offers a fine compromise for those who want some of the
back-to-nature allure of the smaller resorts with the closeness to
Playa del Carmen's shopping and social scene.
