La déco est parfaite, les patrons et les employés/volontaires sont adorables, il y a tous ce dont on peut avoir besoin (ustensiles de cuisine, serviettes, vélos, etc.) Seul petit bémol, la route est un peu bruyante mais ca ne m’a pas dérangé plus que ça. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 4, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tican Incredible staff running the hotel! Only down side is many dogs at the hotel that also poo wherever they like so if you don’t like dogs it wouldn’t be nice. Overall incredible place though and we really enjoyed it! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had such a warm welcome at this hostel. It's a laid back place, where you can have some space and chill-out time, but also you can get some great tips from others also staying. We ate in one night and had a really great meal. The owners had just come back after a couple of years away and were beginning to make changes/update rooms. There is a great bakery opposite (try the cinnamon rolls) and the supermarket is a couple of minutes away. The kitchen facilities are ample and lots of fridge space. There are also lots of great restaurants nearby. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 21, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Amazing service, location and food ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cute and quaint.

The Tucan hotel is the kind of place you feel well, that you don't want to leave. We can't tell all what we like about this place, well organised, shadowed parking... near to facilities and still a quiet place to sleep. ##### Eric ### 10/10 Excellent #### SB, San carlos. ÇA Apr 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place. Thank to Alex, Maria and Miguel. As a team and individuel you made our stay a Fun Mémorial Vacation. My sons AJ and Karl love this place. Very convenient and affordable. Like very much the fact we can cook our meal in the commun kitchen. Plenty Space to relax and meet other travelers. ##### SB Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 5, 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Stayed in a double room with private bathroom but was disappointed to be in a stuffy room with no air flowing and very little space. All the rooms are very dark with no natural light. Breakfast not tasty but there is a baker not far from the hotel as an alternative. Recommendations for things to do in the area were not helpful and we had to insist to be booked on a certain tour. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Magali Dec 18, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ma pire nuit au Costa Rica, sauve qui peut! J'ai payé pour 3 nuits mais je suis partie le lendemain de mon arrivée, impossible de dormir, lit inconfortable, bungalow dans le jardin avec des trous dans les panneaux laissant entrer toutes sortes de bestioles, les chiens qui hurlent toute la nuit, masque obligatoire pour dormir car clarté dès le lever de soleil dans la chambre, trop bruyant malgré les boules quiès, et cerise sur le gâteau: ils éteignent la wifi de 9:30PM à 7:00AM !! Alors quand vous n'arrivez pas a dormir la nuit est très longue...le seul point positif est l espace commun avec le bar et les hamacs, sauf que c 'est désert donc difficile de rencontrer d'autres voyageurs. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1274-p3d5a7000-e416-11e7-bd65-326511383643-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s234-p35280c80-e416-11e7-ab29-562dc63a5703-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s366-p3cb0e990-e416-11e7-ab29-562dc63a5703-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s41-p40ab48b0-e416-11e7-bd65-326511383643-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Magali Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allen Nov 5, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### So great!

The location is a bit far from the beach but very convenient for the bus. We stayed in one of the outdoor rooms and I doubt we would be will to do it again. The bed was not very comfortable and I worried about bugs. Plus it rained through the entire night. It was a unique experience. We were also the only customers so the atmosphere was missing. Looks like it would be a fun place with more people. ##### Mary Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels.d180002.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-San-Bada.h4247464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Hotel-Nantipa-A-Tico-Beach-Experience.h28413626.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Marriott-Ocean-Golf-Resort.h522999.Hotel-Information) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Drumheller](https://www.expedia.ca/Drumheller-Hotels.d55296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d179995-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Tango-Mar-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h903960.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Ylang Ylang Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Ylang-Ylang-Beach-Resort.h32536597.Hotel-Information) > > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Verde.h5580910.Hotel-Information) > > [Incredible Tropical Retreat Full of Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans and much more](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Incredible-Tropical-Retreat-Full-Of-Monkeys.h19220284.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Vacation Club at Los Suenos](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Marriott-Vacation-Club-At-Los-Suenos.h60169844.Hotel-Information) > > [Igloo Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-IGLOO-BEACH-LODGE.h46091182.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [El Faro Containers Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-El-Faro-Containers-Beach-Hotel.h8249200.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Naoz](https://www.expedia.ca/Manuel-Antonio-Hotels-Hotel-Naoz.h74524806.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vela Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Vela-Boutique-Hotel.h11881555.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to TYO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tyo/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yyz/winnipeg-to-toronto) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Ottawa.d178296.Car-Rental-Guide)
