Overview

5-star beachfront resort with on-site biologists and jungle wildlife

Eco & Wildlife

Iberostar Waves Quetzal operates a dedicated team of biologists who manage the on-site jungle landscape and its animals, including peacocks, coatis, and howler monkeys. The resort enforces a single-use plastic-free policy and provides water dispensers on each floor to reduce waste. Guests walk through a shaded jungle path between the lobby and beach, passing flamingos, iguanas, and a tortoise enclosure.

Pools & Beach

The hotel offers four outdoor swimming pools, including an adults-only swim-up bar pool and a shaded quiet pool with a shallow end. Aquatic sports such as diving, snorkeling, and windsurfing are available directly on the beach, which is cleaned of seaweed every morning. The beachfront property sits on one of Riviera Maya's best beaches, with soft sand and clear water for swimming.

Dining

Iberostar Quetzal houses five specialty restaurants serving global and local cuisines, plus buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Cozumel and Tulum restaurants. The Japanese teppanyaki restaurant requires reservations and offers a cooking show, while the smokehouse serves family-style Texas barbecue. Guests can also dine at the Italian and Mediterranean restaurants without advance booking.

Wellness

The on-site Spa features a hydrotherapy circuit with a steam room, sauna, and hot tub, plus a spa lounge and relaxation area. The Aliveness program offers holistic wellness activities such as sunrise yoga, fitness classes, and guided meditation. A fitness room with classes and group activities is available, and spa/wellness packages include treatments inspired by the jungle setting.

Family & Entertainment

Star Camp provides a structured activity program for children aged 4-17, combining environmental education, cooking lessons, and animal walks with fun pool games. Evening entertainment includes themed shows, karaoke, and a mini theatre where kids perform in productions like the Mini Grease show. The resort also offers a kids' club, indoor play area, and babysitting services through the 24-hour front desk.
