“Iberostar Waves Tucan strikes me as a place where the jungle meets the shore, a distinctive pairing that families, in particular, seem to find appealing. With activities geared towards children and teens, plus diving certification right on the premises, the hotel emphasizes immersive experiences, though some services appear inconsistent. Sustainability also seems to be a key concern, which I respect.”
