My wife and I stayed at the El Tucano. First, we wanted to have a jungle vacation not a beach vacation and this place was perfect. It sits about 30' from the jungle. As you eat your meals you can look into the jungle and hear all the sounds of wildlife. The grounds of the hotel are clean and well... more

We took the advise of the reviews and booked a day trip with Frank. He was wonderful. We did horseback riding up to the zip-lining tour, which was incredible, a little scary, but worth the hike up to the first platform. Frank then took us to a wonderful steakhouse, stopped off for some monkey-spotting and even took us to the... more

Just like some of the other reviewers, I am writing this because we loved Frank, the tour guide. He was awesome. He was the most willing, kind, helpful person we've met. We chose three tours, the all day tour which included the volcano, iguanas, monkeys and the arenal volcano at night. We also did the Cano Negro tour which was... more

We stayed at the El Tucano in December which we thought was the end of rainy season - wrong! Even though we had mucho rain, we had a fabulous time exploring the local area with Frank Tours, the local guide. We saw lots of wildlife, and amazing vegetation and birds. Costa Rica surprised us. In this area it is largely... more

We just got back from staying at El Tucano and had a really great time. The hotel is very comfortable and situated in a beautiful setting - it seemed as if we were in the middle of the jungle. The staff on the whole were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are generous and clean. The only minor criticism I... more

My wife and I spent the initial 3 days of our honeymoon at the El Tucano resort. Like people said earlier - this resort is a bit out in the boonies so don't stay here expecting a big party and tons to do in walking distance. You're going to need a driver. This is not a bad thing though as... more

My husband and I and our son just came back from Costa Rica.We stayed with friends, and one night we decided to take a tour and stay overnight .We drove from La Paz Waterfalls, thinking we would just stay somewhere on the way to Arenal.We got lost, and of course at night it is hard to find anything, but we... more

We loved El Tucano! It is out of the way of the La Fortuna hubub, but close enough to day trip it. We rented a car in Quepos and drove to Quesada which took most of a day. It is a scenic trip to say the least! The spa is mostly a Tico resort, which was appealing to us as... more
