Hello! I just got back from a wonderful and relaxing week at Iberostar Quetzal in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico! I wish I could book another trip to return next week. This was my first AI trip and my first time to the PDC area. There were so many positive things about the hotel from the friendly bartender in the hotel... More

Just returned from a 14 night stay and the only thing i can put a black mark against was the weather, we had quite a bit of rain during our stay.. This hotel may not be to every-ones taste - if you are looking for or expecting a marble palace, then look somewhere else.The hotel is in wonderful natural surroundings... More

My best friend and I have been to the Quetzal several times for our annual Women Over 40 getaway. This last year, my dear friend and I had just arrived when she received horrible news from home. Front Desk Manager Alejandro Carrillo showed her the utmost kindness and attended to our every need for the duration of our stay. Any... More

I would first off like to say that this resort is amazing. Our room was very nice, house keeping came everyday to clean, the food was excellent, and the resort itself was beautiful. The staff there were always friendly and hard working. The only problem that I had is that my now husband and I got married at the resort... More

Amazing hotel in Playacar! It combines perfectly a great beach and a natural environment. Our room was faced towards the jungle, so we had flamingos and peacocks by our window every day. We became friends with a peacock that decided to make our balcony as its bedroom...and in Rome be a Roman... so we decided that the peacock was entitled... More

My husband and I came back to this property, as our prior visit was so wonderful. We booked the ocean front...and was originally booked into Tucan...but again got the Quetzal side. They basically mirror each other, draperies and bedspreads being the only difference. Our stay was from April 7-16th. This is one of the busiest times, as it was Easter... More

My husband and I had a wonderful holiday here in April. The hotel is definately not just for families, it is suitable for all. I emailed Luz, the customer services manager, about a week before we travelled and made our reservations for the restaurants in advance, no problem at all. Also, it was my Husbands' 50th birthday during our stay... More

Just back from a great trip and staying at this hotel was perfect. Couldn't fault a thing. Was nice to have other themed restaurants to go too. Beach was amazing and pool area was very nice too. I went to the spa where the steam room left a lot to be desired, had to ask for steam and still didn't... More
