Отель Barcelo Tucancun Beach 4* Hotel Barcelo Tucancun Beach 4*

Everything that I read about the hotel (albeit after buying a ticket) is true. Let's start with the fact that the hotel is no longer the same color and is not surrounded by water on all sides as in the photo of travel agencies. The hotel is located in the middle of the peninsula. On the one hand, there is really the Caribbean Sea (not the ocean), and on the other hand, the road, the shopping center "Kakulkan Plaza", the road and only then the lagoon, in which they do not swim. In the lagoon, a kind of port with yachts, jet skis, parachuting behind a boat, and other such entertainment. They also told us about crocodiles. But I think this is somewhat exaggerated, especially considering its huge size. The hotel rooms are good. Large and spacious. The air conditioner was quiet. By and large, there is no territory and no greenery either. Everything planted in the hotel area is artificial. Further depends on the width and shape of the peninsula and the size of the hotel.
The STANDARD room is a room without a balcony, with a view of the rear of the shopping center and a power plant noisy under the window. There is also an ice-maker in the hallway, which operates 24 hours a day and is as quiet as a power plant. And if you get a room next to the elevator, you'll listen to that too. If there were soundproof windows, then, I think, it would be fine. The windows there are what we call cold glazing on the balcony. We lived on the 6th floor, and if you do not look down from the window, the view is quite decent. Moving to the floors above will not save you from noise, but it will improve the view from the window. The room has a refrigerator, coffee machine, cups, glasses, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, TV. There are no Russian channels, it seems. Toothpaste, brush, cotton swabs and cotton wool will be brought on request. Linen is changed every three days.
Connection. MTS and Megafon are not caught in Mexico. Catches only B-Line. Mobile communications are expensive. A call from Russia to a local SIM card will cost 2.5 dollars. It is better to call by card through a pay phone. Only buy a card with a chip, otherwise you can go crazy with a pin code. Internet in the hotel is paid. Those who have WI-FI with them can go to Kakulkan Plaza, where they say it is free.

Beach. Three small pools. There are few umbrellas. On the territory near the sea they do not exist at all. The beds are close to each other.
In restaurants, the food is normal, but especially varied. We went to a Mexican restaurant once, and the rest of the time to Don Quixote. Rations are not made on excursions. You can secretly agree with the waiter, and he will wrap sandwiches for you. Put fruits in your bag. If you leave early (before the opening of restaurants), then you can get food in the night bar, so to speak (just drinks, rolls, fruits, etc. are displayed in one corner)
We didn't need animation. Music shows in the auditorium every evening.
The contingent is varied. Lots of Americans and Mexicans apparently now living in America. There were also people from Costa Rica, England, Brazil. Americans come in groups of 15 people.
If you need a budget option for a hotel and you don’t care about loud noise from the window, then it’s quite possible to relax there. Noise is probably the only serious drawback.
