El Tukan Hotel and Resort, Playa del Carmen

Hi Everyone,

My husband and I are in Playa del Carmen. We flew down with Continental Airlines. We had a great flight and they even served breakfast with no fee attached to it.

We are staying at the El Tukan Hotel and Resort, Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. It is rated as a 2 1/2 star but I would give it a 1 1/2 star. It is a basic hotel that offer friendly service, clean older rooms, the bed is okay to sleep in, not a solid rock. There is two small pools one located on site the other at the beach club which is five blocks away walking. The hotel does provid a shuttle.  You are located right on fifth avenue, so you have a choice or restaurants, shopping, entertainment and other services.  The hotel does not offer any entertainment and limited other facilities.  The buffet restaurant does not have A/C and I found that the drinks, yogurt and fruit where quite warm.  If you have a room facing inside towards the pool you avoid the street noise.  The hotel itself is very quite.The location is the best thing. It is a block and half from the beach. Get your towels early before 11 or you will not get any. Rooms are not large, nor is the washroom. You have a fan and A/C and a balcony to sit on.

This hotel would be best for young people on a budget or any other person on a budget.
