Yeah the hotel is nice. And right beside the mall.. Well just down the drive way from the hotel. Right near everything.
The Staff were great and the rooms were nice and clean and big. The food was ok. BUt as with any place in Cancun..

Anyone who goes here will definately have fun!

ldolson · 02-22-2005, 07:16 PM

I was there in the summer of 03 and it was pretty nice. The staff was extra friendly and our room was also clean. My friends and I are going to be there from march 12-19th for spring break anyone going to be there then too?

qotsa37 · 02-28-2005, 06:53 PM

Are they supplied in the rooms and does the staff care about bringing back food and drinks to the hotel.

Is what supplied in the rooms?

We had no problems bringing drinks from the bar back to the rooms. Never tried bringing food, but I don't see why not.

ldolson · 03-03-2005, 06:17 PM

does anyone know if they have irons there??

qotsa37 · 03-03-2005, 07:00 PM

are mini fridges supplied

suzqt · 03-03-2005, 08:17 PM

they did'nt have irons in our rooms and not sure if they have them at the hotel.
they dont have mini refridg in the room and you have to buy your own water also no gift store.

Lynne · 03-03-2005, 08:31 PM

They had a gift shop that sold water, soda, and juices when we were there last July.

No irons though. You can purchase small travel irons pretty inexpensively, however anything than needs ironed probably isn't a good idea for a trip to Cancun.

Spent time partying, not ironing. :lol:

Denise · 03-03-2005, 11:28 PM

They have a gift shop on the entrance level. My friend bought bottled water there. You can bring food back. They don't mind. The manager's name is Hugo Rodriguez. Seems like a cool guy. I met him once. He sent me the Mexican coffee recipe, via e-mail.

suzqt · 03-04-2005, 09:09 AM

I was just there the end of Jan 2005 and there was NO gift store at the hotel.
There is a mall across the street to buy water and soda and any other things you might need.
I would only stay here if it was free. The food and drinks were BAD.
Hotel staff were totally RUDE.

Denise · 03-04-2005, 09:24 AM

The gift shop was on across the hallway, from the El Caffee buffet; main level, near the hotel entrance.

whdream · 03-04-2005, 09:30 AM

Well when I was there several years ago the staff was great.

They had a snack bar out by the pool, which was handy you could actually go and sit down..
A\The regular buffet got tiresome. And the staff were great.

suzqt · 03-04-2005, 11:04 AM

the gift store was closed that was by the buffet when we were there

cedarsurf · 03-21-2005, 09:43 PM

Best hotel ever...... The staff was great, the location was great, the best spring breakers. We went to the Oasis and a few other hotels for a day and those places did not have near the good vibe that the Tucan had. The food was a bit shady but what do you expect for a discount AI.

Shongo · 06-21-2005, 01:53 PM

without trying to sound pedantic does anyone know what cable channels they have here??

Only Curious as it gives me something to do when getting ready or night or if I am too hungover to go outdoors during the day

Sol_Gemma · 07-27-2005, 10:37 AM

ok i seem to remember CNN, some kind of spanish music channel, an MTV that showed some ashley simpson TV show ALL THE TIME arrgh spanish cartoons.. um best TV show was Dr Phil about fat toddlers 'I feed my child if he hungry, i feed him a ho ho, a ding dong, my child eats ribs...' hehe

spradioman · 02-08-2006, 10:30 PM

Half of our group of twelve have booked their trip with Tuncancun for April 26th - May3rd. We were told that the resort is closed until April 1st. Today we discovered that the open date has been pushed back to April 22nd....awful close to our arrival date. Does anyone have any information about the resort?? Also, does anyone have an actual contact number or email within the resort. Any help appreciated!! :?

spradioman · 02-19-2006, 06:45 AM

In hopes of stirring up conversation about the Barcelo I will ask if there are a section of rooms at this resort that you DON"T want to stay in?

Anything you did at the resort that was memorable that you would recommend?

Signed,

Group of nine turning Cancun on it's head April 26th - May 3rd.

tanbunz · 03-14-2006, 08:06 PM

We are thinking about booking this vacation - April 25 to May 2 or April 22 to April 29; either way, does anyone know what the conditions are like? Are the beaches still there? Any info would be appreciated :-)

We have stayed in this area a few years ago (Carribean Village) so I think I know right where this is - - just extremely worried about the conditions......too cheap to believe it is good.

Thanks
Cancun or Bust!

spradioman · 03-15-2006, 10:44 AM

I was extremely worried myself when we booked and have done a ton a reading on the conditions and now feel very comfortable. I have emailed Barcelo several times and they have assured me that things will be A'ok.

From what I understand the resort will be doing some major renovating...mainly updating some so-so things from before. So when finished the resort should be better than pre Wilma.

Also, they should be fixing the beach in front of the Barcelo this week. I have been waiting for updates and I will post when finished. Plenty early before the end of April.

tanbunz · 03-15-2006, 11:01 AM

Thanks for the info - do you have the e-mail address for the Barcelo? I would like to contact them myself. Have you been there before? We were just making sure the swim up bar wasn't destroyed (ha ha)

I think the price is unbelievable - $1685 for 2 people from Chicago.

Thanks again....

3stooges · 03-16-2006, 03:50 PM

We booked with the 75% off anniversary sale. Incredible deal.

JustLivinLife · 03-17-2006, 07:42 AM

We have booked here for 1 week in June. This will be my husband & I's 2nd trip, the first for our 3 kids. We also booked thru the 75th anniversary special pricing, and got an unbelievably awesome deal. The previous trip reports seem like any other hotel. Plenty of great reports, and plenty of bad, crabby reports. With what we paid, the food can't be bad enough for me to feel like we got a bad deal.

Those of you going in April, May, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE post updates on the hotel w/pics if you can. Also, if anyone has a way to contact the hotel direct, I would be forever greatful. We had to book 2 rooms, and I want to be sure to request double beds in both rooms, as well as adjacent rooms!

tanbunz · 03-17-2006, 08:09 AM

WE BOOKED!!
Well, after a lot of wondering and worrying, we decided what the H. We will see you all at the swim up bar - April 25 to May 3rd.

I have my floaty ready!

Bring on the good times....

mexicanwave · 03-17-2006, 10:20 AM

All the contact info is on their website.

spradioman · 03-17-2006, 01:31 PM

Good for you tanbunz!!

We'll be there during the same time. Should be a great time. Dos Equis here I come!!

tanbunz · 03-17-2006, 01:36 PM

Looking forward to it - ended up through Apple Vacations - unbelievable deal, so couldn't go wrong.....had to wait for after April 15 (work for accounting firm) so we will be ready to Rock.

Did you ever get a reply on good and/or bad room numbers? That is always good info to have.

Thanks again -
