Description
Playacar- The first IBEROSTAR introduced to Mexico has made its trademark as one of the best! The very popular All-Inclusive resort is spectacular, with an artistic flair and literally immersed in 28-acres of jungle.

Enjoy a refreshing pool with swim-up bar, plus an immense 3-section pool in an oasis on the edge of the jungle.
