HOTEL IBEROSTAR TUCAN
As I mentioned in my introduction our hotel was very good and I was particularly impressed with the quality of the planting. Whilst a good deal of the original jungle had been maintained the formal landsacping was also exceptional. Here's a few more shots of the hotel and beach.
Panorama from our balcony - a bit like looking down from the walkway in the Kew Gardens Tropical House
.........and the beach was typically Caribbean. You can just see Cozumel Island in the distance
More very fine planting.
Believe it or not this is part of the hotel gardens. It is the original jungle with only some management.
Thrinax Radiata
Base of Sabal Yappa and Acrostichum Danaefolium the 'Giant Leather Fern'. This fern was growing wild in marginal areas, especially around the Coba Mayan Ruins
A magnificent Pritchardia Pacifica
Cocos Nucifera and huge stands of Dypsis Lutescens
Elegant walkways
Another view from balcony
Roystonea Regia in hotel grounds
A short walk from the hotel the beach was totally deserted
There are loads of Iguanas and lizards. These two were posing on a rock on the beach.
