Tucan Hotel

A unique boutique style place to stay in Uvita Town A very warm and genuine welcome from the owner who spent time acquainting us with the hotel and opportunities during our stay in Uvita. The décor and ambience of the Tucan was individual and interesting with the lounge areas providing a very relaxing environment. Our room 5, while modestly furnished but with air con was very comfortable and the bathroom with walk in shower was a very good size. The rooms were kept clean. Only breakfast is served as there are a number of restaurants and cafes near by for all tastes and meals. The wifi flies. The town and public transport connections are a short flat walk away. If a visit to the falls is made then best enter through the first entrance as the price also includes entrance to the butterfly house. Playa Hermosa is a 10 minute taxi drive away but beware there’s little or no wifi/mobile signal there to book a return ride (speaking from experience!!). What also sets the Tucan apart from many hotels is the attitude of the owner Pierre (Mr Fixit). Nothing is too much trouble, he is so amenable and genuinely keen to go provide magnificent customer service. He willingly gave advice and helped us with our onward transport arrangements. While we’ll not likely be returning to Costa Rica my wife and I have no hesitation in recommending the Tucan and making our stay in Uvita so memorable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I stay at the Tucan Hotel occasionally when visiting Uvita, and on my most recent trip I became unexpectedly very ill after checking out. I returned to the hotel feeling overheated and unwell, and the staff immediately set me up with a room that I ended up needing for four days. Throughout my stay, they checked in regularly by message to see if I needed anything or to extend another night, which was incredibly considerate and comforting. Pierre was my main point of contact, and his kindness made a very stressful situation much easier — especially as I was traveling alone. I believe the other employee’s name was Steven, who was also very kind and helpful. I truly don’t know what I would have done without their flexibility and care. The property itself is beautiful, the rooms are affordable, and the hospitality is genuine. Having worked in the hospitality industry myself, I can say with confidence that the team here provides excellent service. Highly recommend!

We’re a family with two boys and spent five nights at Tucan Hotel – and honestly, we wish we could have stayed much longer! The entire place is beautifully designed and decorated with so much love and attention to detail. This charm continues into the rooms – we had one cozy cabin with a small veranda and one double room. Both were spotless, beautifully painted, and even the bed linen matched the décor perfectly. Our boys absolutely loved the pool, but the hammocks and pool table were also big hits! Pierre, the warm and welcoming owner, went above and beyond to make our stay special. He gave us fantastic tips for exploring the area, and you can really feel how much passion he has for what he’s created and for connecting with his guests. In short – a little paradise for guests of all ages where everyone feels welcome! We truly hope to return to Costa Rica one day… and when we do, we’ll be coming straight back to the Tucan Hotel! ♥️ Nadine&family
