    We loved everything about this hotel! It was beautiful and cozy, and had lovely facilities including a nice big common area with lots of beautiful plants, hammocks and sofas to relax in, and a pool area as well. The rooms were nice and clean, everything was in good condition and the staff and owner were the nicest, most helpful people you could imagine. A wonderful place to stay! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Uvita.

    We booked with the breakfast included but one of our day trips started earlier than the breakfast. Usually, I've seen hotels and hostels prepare a breakfast package in this case (especially since we booked through the hotel) but this was not possible here which we thought was unfortunate.

    Very easy to book trips there, the staff was really friendly and gave us many information. Very nicely decorated and cute place, hammocks in the common area which create a very nice atmosphere and a good place to hang out, no matter if you have a shared or private room. The kitchen is also good. The breakfast was very tasty - a traditional gallo pinto that we liked a lot.

    I loved everything about the hotel! The town is a bit boring (it "rolls up the sidewalks" around 8 pm), but the beaches are first-class.

    Pierre, the owner, is one-of-a-kind. No matter how busy he is, he takes the time to help guests with whatever they need - from restaurant recommendations to just listening when you need someone to talk to. The entire staff is friendly and efficient. If there was a 5-star rating for the best place to stay, Tucan would get 6! - CTS

    We absolutely loved our stay at Tucan hotel. Pierre the owner is great and his staff also very friendly and they provide good tips and support to make the best of your stay. It’s a cool mix between hotel service and hostel flair, everything was clean and a very good bakery is next door. We can totally recommend staying here when in Uvita.
