coffee availability - Iberostar Tucan

I've just heard that Tucan does not serve coffee before 9am? If this is so does Quetzel serve any earlier?

I edited the title of your post to make it more specific about what information you're looking for.

My answer..........

The buffets on both sides of the resort starts serving breakfast prior to 9am so of course you can get coffee before that time.

If I recall correctly, they start at 7am.
And yes: coffee as much as you'd like. Even in to go cups.

Last year, during my bout with the flu that I brought from home, I was able to walk up and get a few glasses of juice about 5am. No one was around, but the machine was on and the glasses were handy. I do know that they crank up one of the breakfast buffets about 7am or 8am, because many people leave for tours at 8 or 9am. I am sure they fire up the coffee very early.

Buffet opens at 7:00 am with plenty of coffee. Each room has a 4 cup coffee pot with both caf and decaf.

If you are a big coffee drinker like me, leave a note in the room for extra Cafe and it shall be done.

Last week we were not only able to get coffee, but had breakfast at one of the main buffets, then left on a tour at 7:15am.

I think the coffee makers in the rooms are a relatively new (and most welcome) thing, as we never had one during our first or second stay...but 3rd time a charm!

The ability to download films to watch in your room is a fairly new concept there too, as is the internet. Although I never used this service (not even sure how much it was to download a film) I'm sure this would be useful to anybody incapacitated for whatever reason, or those with children.

The coffee pots have been in the rooms for less than 2 years.

Glad to hear about the coffee makers in the rooms. I was going to inquire about that. I like good coffee a lot but have to drink decaf. After 7 trips seems like the places we have stayed (only 2, Gala Playacar and Playa Maya) just give you instant decaf which leaves a lot to be desired. I was considering bringing a coffee maker and high quality imported decaf. Now I can leave the maker at home. Thanks.
