I need something to compare to!
Thanks for any help you can give me! I got married at Iberostar Tucan in January. We had guests from Vancouver and Ontario(Niagara). But the Guests from Ontario actually flew out of Buffalo, NY and saved a bundle using an American tour company. The reason is that Signature is the only Canadian company to offer the Tucan, so basically they charge what they want. they would have paid around $2000 per person to fly out of Toronto. but instead i think it was something like $1500 for Buffalo, NY. keep in mind that US airports don't have the outrageous Airport fees like Canada does, so you save $263 right off the bat.
I was shocked at the prices and called many TAs for a better price.. but it just didn't get much lower.
However, for anyone thinking about Iberostar Tucan, I'll take this opportunity to chime in a little... My wife and I Loved the resort, and location and everything. But most of all, the Wedding coordinator, Gabriella, and her team were Outstanding!! Everything was taken care of and went as smooth as possible. Now, of course i don't know what else to compare this to, but I really felt that the wedding day was the most relaxing day of the trip. start to finish, everything was spectacular.
Yes the resort does cost a bit more, but it's worth it for a wedding.
Good for kids, with the jungle animals and huge pool.
These is only 1 resort to the south of the Tucan, and then Open beach.. which makes for less traffic on the Tucan Beach.
Food was great, Great location in Playacar community.
A+ staff!
