My wife and I stayed here for three nights with a OAT tour group. If you ever want to take a tour with a small group,go with OAT ! ack to the thermal bathes...terrific. The birds and grounds are beautiful.The buffet was okay, but very hard to get HOT food at a buffet.Friday night and Saturday we had to eat... More

This is the nicest hotel in the area .... Air conditioned rooms and all the hot water you want. The food was hit and miss .... some days good but other days disappointing. (Breakfast comes with the room but we only had breakfast the first morning .... there was something wrong with the orange juice and both of us got... More

Got into San Jose the last day of November and drove to this hotel..we should have gotten the GPS option with the rental car as there are no road signs. But pleasant people along the way guided us there. After a 3 hour drive through the rain, fog and dark on twisty roads with no shoulders we finally arrived at... More

Perhaps I should call this review "you can never go back" ! We were there 20 years ago and it was a beautiful boutique hotel.

Hot Springs, Monkeys, Crocodiles, Toucans, Volcanoes, an... More

I stayed on night, the check in time was at 2 pm, but I got there early, they were very nice and gave us the room early. the standard room we stayed was near the reception, it was very clean, there is a back door to the room which lead to a small terrace, with a table and chaires and... More

Rooms were clean and average. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous with a waterfall and river behind it. Several large thermal pools are on the grounds to sample. The staff is very attentive and the bar drinks were great. The location is rather isolated.

My girlfriend and I stayed at El Tucano for four nights through a Living Social deal during the first week of May in 2012. There weren't very many other guests at the hotel but I think that's because this was at the very beginning of Costa Rica's "rainy season." We were a bit worried about this at first, but the... More
