All good, enjoyed the stay and the breakfast was good
Very nice and neat place !
Rooms are little but super nice !
The property need water tanks for extra storage!
If there is no water it is very uncomfortable.
This is a lovely hotel, it has a huge communal area with chairs and sofas, it is all very clean and well looked after. The swimming pool was great. We had a lovely room which overlooked the swimming pool, the only problem we had was that shower in our room didn't have enough pressure during our stay.
This was a very unique property for us. It's part hostel part hotel. Our room was small but was fine. The staff was super nice and gave a tour of the property. We enjoyed the bar and the pool and we were within walking distance of a fabulous dining spot.
The staff was attentive and very willing to help you…Steven was very nice and gave us a welcome tour of the property and amenities…the only draw back and it was very small..no outlet in the bathroom…other than that the price was more than reasonable for the stay..🙂

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Cute, quirky hotel in a great location for waterfall and whale watching trip. Room was basic but clean and comfortable, ideal for our 2 night stay.
This was my first time being in a hostel and i am happy it was at this location. Pierre and his staff were amazing. They made sure everyone was taken care of. The dormatories from what inwas told are a lot better here then your average hostel. Pierre is more than willing to help you with your itinerary and where to eat. My stay in Uvita was a lot better because Tucan.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
hostel type atmosphere but definitely had a focus on selling you drinks and food at high prices. In commercial area just off main road, not near beachside. Breakfast was disappointing and not comparable to other hostels; no juice. Good smoothies but other drinks were $10usd or more. Good staff but limited knowledge of area behind tours they sold.
Superbe hôtel moderne et bien décoré près de la plage d uvita ; petit déjeuner délicieux et complet ! Pas de resto sur place mais de bonnes adresses à 5 minutes à pied . Pierre est aux petits soins pour nous rendre le séjour agréable. Gwen
