Iberostar Tucan and Quetzal???

For all of you who have wondered...Iberostar Tucan and Quetzal are the same hotel. They are considered twin resorts and they share the same amenities. From what I have researched the rooms are very similiar with small differences in color and decorations. Claims to which side is the best varies from traveler to traveler. SO... I have decided that either side will do and requested that our rooms are as close to one another as possible. :)

Here are some photos of the property for you to enjoy!!! I love to look at them!

Safety in Mexico

By now, everyone has heard about the drug wars effecting Mexico. If you are like me, I am sure there is some stress and apprehension about the trip. Joe thinks worrying is a waste of time, so I was put in charge of doing it for the both of us! ;) After talking with Keli, our travel agent, and doing my own share of research I am feeling much better about the safety in Mexico. People are continuing to travel and the violence is generally in the border cities. I am posting a site that I visit often... www. tripadvisor.com. After you are on the webpage search by Iberostar Tucan. Scroll down and click on the first title Iberostar Tucan, Playa del Carmen. This will bring you to the page with the reviews of travelers who have just returned from the resort. Happy researching... I hope it brings peace and excitement about the trip!!!

con amor,
