I am 50 years old, so is my wife. Our kids are 23, 20 and 16. This resort was perfect for all of us. It was not modern, it was serene, friendly, the ambiance was just right. We went snorkeling, jet skiing, some of us went shopping. It was all very nice and side.

Been to numerous resorts, this resort was 45 minutes to an hour from airport but the food alone was well worth the drive. The rooms are a bit dated but whatever for us. Loved all the wild life around the resort. Staff was extremely pleasant. Would recommend

The grounds were beautiful but the service and food quality were very poor. We were a party of 14 and everyone had issues with their rooms in regards to humidity and smell. The front desk staff were very nice and professional but we still had to pay an extra $360 for a better room with no smell… ridiculous. My family and I will never stay there again .

We were at the iberostar quetzal for a week in September. Here is what I have to say about the resort. We were very impressed with the resort and had such a great time, with a few things to note. The food was great for all inclusive, the beach was gorgeous, DO NOT miss the fire show it was incredible. Our room was nice and felt authentic although there was a sewage smell outside unfortunately. Beds were very comfortable. Absolutely NO noise was heard from outside our room which was amazing. Our room was right at the entrance of the resort, it took no more than 5 minutes to walk from our room to the beach. Beaches have umbrellas built in, be prepared to wake up early if you want a chair on the beach many people would put a towel on chairs and just leave them there all day to save their spot without coming back until the afternoon, which was kind of annoying. But the beach was beautiful, water was INCREDIBLE. They do their best to keep everyone entertained, always something going on if you felt like you wanted to participate. We thought the drinks were great and not watered down at all. We payed $35 for sunscreen at the gift shop. Pack it before you get there. Staff was always pleasant and friendly. All in all it was an amazing spot to stay and we found ourselves talking about future trips there, we are excited to stay again.

Although the property is getting older, it remains nice, and the staff tries their best to ensure guests enjoy themselves. They offer a variety of food options, they provide exercise activities, have a massage/spa package, and they have a very eco friendly setting with wildlife on the property.
