Kitchen was very well equipped. Rooms were very nice and spacious. WiFi was very fast. Gabby, the host was incredibly helpful with booking tours, taxi's, activities, buses and happy to answer any other questions we had! There were regular Macaws in the tree by the pool. 10 min walk to big supermarket or 10 minutes to the park and beach

There's an uplifted elegant energy throughout the grounds, from the security guard to the cleaning staff. Our two story unit smelled like rich wood. The layout was excellent design for safety, privacy, and super comfortable beds, chairs. AC was great in each bedroom, fans, curtains all clean and in great condition. The bathrooms lighting, hot water and linen quality were exceptional. It is worth mentioning that there we few mosquitos for Ojochal. The space is ample and well equipped for cooking or working remotely, even if there were several occupants. I could stay here long term. My 14 year relaxed. He enjoyed the pool, and commented on how intelligent the whole plaza was with a pharmacy, spa services, bar, store and restaurant all weaved together with hotel. We cannot say enough about the restaurant and we booked another night at end of trip because my son has to come back for more. Citrus is a gem. Families can relax and enjoy pool day, see many bird and plant species.

Fabulous spot!! Clean, comfortable, great staff, super nice vibe/atmosphere, and exceptional value for $$. Tucan Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way.
