Great staff, excellent customer service, comfortable basic rooms, good food, but little to no escape from guests with children having (generally loud poolside) fun. It's very laid back and the surf lessons are really good. Proximity to the beach is great, and the evening outings that come with package are also fun. The rooms all face a central courtyard with...

Solo trip to Nosara. Made the right choice. The rooms were very clean, and spacious, with AC. Surfed every day with all of the passionate instructors with take pride in their teaching. Meals were fresh. The ceviche here is so good! 5 minute walk to the beach and town. The owners are very accommodating to reserving hikes, zip-lining, fishing, etc... More

The rooms are very nice -- clean and spacious with AC for the hot midday hours. The colors, the flowers and tropical vegetation, and outdoorsy lay out of the hotel are magical. The staff are happy, laid back, very helpful and accommodating. Most importantly, they have the best location in Guiones: 3 minute walk to the beach.

Just like the town itself, this place is very laid back and close to beach. Clean, fairly quiet. Probably most enjoyed by younger people. Only had breakfast there but it was very good and reasonably priced for the area. Web site should be updated as (1) none of the room safes work (although this may well not be a problem)... More

I loved this hotel! It was at the perfect location, a 3 minute walk to the beach and a 3 minute walk into the main town area. The room was nice and the staff was amazing!!! By the end of the week, I knew everyone on a first name basis and felt so comfortable! I also did the safari surf... More

My wife and I stayed two nights at Casa Tucan. I never write reviews but this experience I had to share. Casa Tucan is simply charming... a real getaway! It's a tropical retreat with great rooms, wonderful staff, great food and great service. Now here comes that big BUT. Day One: an uncontrolled little kid ran around with non stop... More

This was a truly unfortunate experience since the guest clearly loved the hotel, but was concerned by the management. The Casa Tucan has since changed management and will be reopening Nov.1, 2011 with a veteran hotel and restaurant manger, Jack Davis, and a variety of upgrades throughout the facility. It is our intent with these upgrades and added staff that... More

My brother and I did a week at this place and it was JUST what the doctor ordered! Super friendly staff (they all knew my name by the second day), great accommodations and all very reasonably priced. The food was nothing short of fantastic...EVERY meal! (definitely try the breakfast burrito, and also the Aroz De Camarone) The owners, Tyler and... More

Casa Tucan is one of those great places where the staff is eager to know your name and your favorite drink! Lucy makes one hell of a mojito! The entire staff is amazing and they helped us with all of our excursion bookings for no extra charge! We had a great surf lesson and both my fiance and I got... More

We discoved Casa Tucan on tripadvisor and are so happy we stayed there. The staff is so accommodating, friendly and helpful. Tyler went out of his way to make sure we had rooms. Since it was a very busy weekend the four of us had to move from two rooms, one night, to one room the following night. They were... More
