Lagunillas Jardín Pura Vida Hotels

"If “too good to be true” were a place, it would be Casa Tucan. This home is everything the pictures show and so much more. Honestly, photos—or even my words—will never do it justice. You simply have to experience it for yourself.From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed and cared for. We felt absolutely safe the entire time on our girls’ trip. Edgar was incredibly attentive, communicative, and made sure every detail was coordinated seamlessly. Jose, the chef, prepared the most amazing meals and even handled provisioning ahead of time, so all we had to do was arrive and be in awe of that breathtaking view.The home itself is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We slept wonderfully. Yes, you’ll have some friendly little bugs and even the occasional frog at night—it’s Costa Rica after all—but they were never a nuisance, just part of the charm.The experience left us changed in the best way. We can’t thank the hosts enough for sharing such a beautiful place, truly a retreat on top of the world. Casa Tucan is a blessing, and we will absolutely be back."

"The birding on the property was great, especially walking the road away from the highway (Scarlet Macaws and Howler Monkeys when we arrived!). The tower provided wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Abram was a great host who prepared delicious meals for breakfast and dinner. I found the mattresses to be a bit too firm, but our kids slept like rocks. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues, like a bathroom door that didn't fully close. But all in all I would stay there again happily!"

"We were 5 couples in 5 rooms. Rooms were clean, and the building was nicely done. The building was cleverly isolated from the lively street and neighborhood. "
