El Tukan, El tu-can't

El Tukan was a simple hotel with nice gardens and a no-can-do attitude. In fact, we started calling it El tu-can’t.

• Getting more than a dribble out of the shower? El tu-can’t.
• Hot water? El tu-can’t.
• Fresh orange juice at breakfast (Mexico is full of juicy oranges)? El tu-can’t.
• Hairdryer? El tu-can’t
• A cup of coffee in the bar? El tu-can’t.
• A beach towel before 8am? El tu-can’t.
• Permission to take off the plastic bracelet? El tu-can’t.
• A quick breakfast? El tu-can’t. Painful. Very painful.
• A free safety deposit box for valuables? El tu-can’t.
• Can I put this on my tab? El tu-can’t.

OK, we are whining (it’s fun). I suppose it wasn’t that bad for what we paid (hardly anything). Here are some things that El tu-can:

• Loungers at the beautiful beach? El tu-can!
• Cocktails on trendy white sofas over looking 5^th Avenue? El tu-can!
• Towels artistically twisted into bunnies and other animals? El tu-can! (providing you tip the chambermaid)
• Tasty nachos with jalapenos? El tu-can!
• Free wireless in the lobby? El tu-can!
• Nice balcony? El tu-can!

We are definitely kinder than some of the people posting reviews on Trip Advisor.
