all the trees, water and animals! turtles, monkeys, flamingos and peacocks!! Beach was great!! Staff was the best! so friendly and great activities! Food was very good!

Bricklike walkways

Wonderful beach, very good buffet and many drink options. Beautiful jungle with animals inside the property.

Some staff members were inconvenient and pushing with offering vip memberships which we were not interested at.

beautiful jungle vibes and friendly environment

beds were hard needed more late night drinking activities

We came for a family vacation and did just dad. We enjoyed the ammenuities, the kids club was great for our 4 year old son to join, they even helped him with being more comfortable in the deep pool (with floaties and under supervision). The "jungle" gardens and animals in these made for great entertainment ofr our son and a nice way of wandering from the pool to the main restaurant. The food was good and we stuck to the main buffet for dinner instead of booking A la carte dinners as the offering was quite similar and more flexible when trying to feed young kids. Offerings ranged from typical mexican dishes to suchi, pasta, seafood and freshly grilled meats and fish. The drinks were tasty, normal bottom shelf cocktails, freshly made on the spot. A premium package is available as an upgrade, but we weren't drinking that much to make it worth while.

There's a bit of pool-side lounger hogging by people claiming them in the morning and then disappearing with said loungers remaining empty for long periods. Normal thing to expect, more an issue of other guests rather than the hotel. Not sure why I took notice to it, but their pizza dough was a bit on the heavy side, either needed more yeast, longer proving or something else. It's not bad, just somehow I feel it could be made thinner or lighter.

I liked the entry foyer, our room was decent it was a “remodeled” room. I liked the wildlife around the resort. The massage was really nice. Frank was really friendly, Maria gave the presentation, she was friendly as well.

Restaurants were not open on certain nights only four restaurants to choose from, which required reservations which was almost impossible to do. The seaweed in the beach was so gross. Upon check in the staff bombarded us to listen to a timeshare presentation. All this before we even got to the room. Air conditioning was not working properly. Ticket placed but still not better. The food choices in the buffet could have been way better. We went off the resort to get better food. Entertainment was not good. We would find ourselves turning in early. No disco.

Food was outstanding in the buffets, animation and staff at the hotel were friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our stay at Iberostar Quetzal and hope to come back in the future.

We stayed initially in a upgraded room with seaview which we loved, then we got back to our original booked room because we were not able to extend. This room was obviously not as good but we also liked it, the only bad thing of this room was the lack of sockets next to the bed and in general in the bedroom - which if you think it about positively, helps you to disconnect before sleeping - so not a big deal for us.

great beach and pool area, snacks and drinks provided during the day and amazing quality and variety of food at the buffet for breakfast lunch and dinner. Activities are organised all through day and evening with no pressure to take part, my children loved Star camp and the foam party was great fun. Yoga on the beach at sunrise is top

Beds were on the small side and not too comfortable - but the room was spacious and clean - also really appreciated the balcony and air conditioning not shooting directly on the beds

- dining options (buffet, restaurants, variety) are absolutely amazing - the complete jungle style of the hotel with animals (monkeys, peacocks, flamingos, iguanas) - activities around the pool (games, music, dance, aquafit, foam party) - drinking water is provided through wall fountain - high qaulity furnitures in the common rooms (restaurants, bars, lobby)

- staff at reception could be more friendly and polite - rooms can be dark because of thick trees

We loved the pool, beach with lots of seating and umbrellas, the staff was always friendly . The pool bar was one of our favorite spots. we loved the jungle paths with all of the wildlife, very well maintained . The fire show on the beach was amazing! The buffet was always very good, we tried 4 of the restaurants, the Japanese was our favorite.

We would have liked the entertainment to start a little earlier

Great time at this beautiful resort. Reserve the restaurants early. Buffet was also great. Amazing staff. Pool bar was fun. Wife loved the shows at night. Lots of amazing animals wondering around. Made eight dives. Dive staff was top notch.

Purely a diving issue. There is no pier so getting in and out of the dive boat can be treacherous depending on the sea state. Might be a law or a result of shifting sand. Very nice diving though. Make sure you sign up for the cenote (cavern) dive
