El Tucano Resort & Thermal Spa Reviews

The facilities lack maintenance, few staff to attend the pool bar, they take a long time to attend to it, the breakfast is good, to enter the river the stones are very slippery

Our first room had no hot water, they said it would be fixed and said it was. Still didn't work. No hot water flow from sink, shower had none. Safe couldn't be locked( they had no key). Moved us to another room. Hot water was very very little flow. My sister had another room. Very little hot water flow. Restaurant is very nice, mini golf is fun. 4 pools, several bars. 2 hot tubs. Pools are various temperatures, which was nice. Air conditioner worked fine. The management is proactively upgrading & repairing the property. Can't recommend this proof, mosly because not much to do around the area, and the hot water.

This was probably a great hotel 10 years ago but there is a very apparent lack of care everywhere you go. Rooms are ok but a lot of things fell in disrepear (light fixtures, switches, showers, hairdryer not working, partially broken windows). The staff is ok overall but the main desk doesn’t seem to care. When asked about tourist information « they don’t know ». The restaurant isn’t terrible but too expensive for what it is. Food is pretty bland and the dining room is sad and dreadful. I’d recommend dining in town for a far better experience. We saw a couple of cockroaches in the dining area. Location is a little too remote from where the action is in the region. La Fortuna is probably much better in that regard.

You need a stronger internet signal, and we had trouble accessing the TV.

Nice hotspring pools, good restaurant. Great service. Place was clean. The overall hotel and grounds need some maintenance and paint. We had a junior suite and was nice, king size bed was good and ac worked good. We will retunrn.

Very large spacious rooms...Excellent customer service

The local food was excellent

Quite a nice set-up surrounded by forest with hot springs. Yet the hotel is already a bit aged. What I did not like was that next to the reception they advertised 2 nights stay incl. massage at about USD 60 less for 2 nights than what I paid through *******. When I pointed out to this at the reception, the answer was that this offer is only valid for the off-season around July. I stated that the would have to mention this with the advertisement as otherwise they would be legally bound to honor the offer during the whole year. The lady at reception answered that in principle I was right but that she could not do anything about it as she is only an employee. A lawyer would be in a position to enforce the adherance to the ad! What is *******'s comment/reaction?

This is not a star hotel as advertised. The hotel is not maintained at all. Hot water did not work for our shower. The staff listened to our concerns however it was not fixed or no other options were given. We had to shower in cold water. The tiles were old and broken in the bathroom. The toilet seat is broken. The bathroom bulbs were out. The door locks were broken. No tissues or napkins provided. Only hot water pitcher with two glasses. No water in it. No blankets on beds. No stopper in sink. Towel racks broken. You need to walk up and down a hill to get or ask for all the amenities (towels, pillows, water) because the phones were not working. There were no qualities of a star hotel. One towel and pillow per person. We booked for 4 and got only two. We had to go several times to the front desk for extra towels, pillows etc.The staff were courteous and polite but the hotel was sorely lacking in quality. The whole place was not worth the amount of money we had to spend on one night! I wish I never booked this hotel, and get a refund for this one!

Definitely a great experience, enjoyable place.

Great pools and sauna

Great for elders

This property needs a lot of improvement. There was mold on the ceiling if the room. They gave us another room that still has some mold but less than the previous one and didn't smell so much.. Breakfast was good..service mostly friendly and helpful

Excellent overall! Quiet in the off season, which we enjoyed. Loved swimming in the river. Breakfast on the patio was lovely with blue morpho's flying by and a lizard sighting.
