    A Rejuvenating Family Getaway in Nature's Embrace

    Our family had a memorable stay marked by stunning pools and relaxing hot springs. The upgrade to a suite truly enhanced our experience. The restaurant served delicious buffet meals, although a bit more variety would be ideal. Aim to arrive early for the best dining selections!

    thermal pools
    spacious room
    cleanliness issues

    The thermal pools at El Tucano are a highlight. Kids loved the mini golf, and we enjoyed the natural sauna between activities. The food provided during our stay was decent but lacked variety. The room was spacious, although we struggled with cleanliness upon check-in. the bathroom needed attention. Air conditioning worked fine but some of the furniture felt worn. The property itself is surrounded by stunning nature, and I appreciated spotting wildlife on the grounds. Service in the restaurant was attentive, but we faced a few maintenance issues that detracted from our overall experience, like old door knobs and some broken fixtures. The surrounding area felt quiet and limited in activities beyond the hotel.

    thermal river
    fresh breakfast
    stunning grounds
    room cleanliness

    We enjoyed the beautiful thermal river, which was a hit with our little ones. Breakfast was a delight, with fresh juice and various options that kept us fueled for our adventures. The hotel grounds are stunning, filled with tropical flora and wonderful wildlife.

    In my wife’s opinion, the room cleanliness could be improved, especially for families with small kids.

    maintenance issues

    The stay was fantastic, especially enjoying the warm river and the delicious breakfast spread every morning. The outdoor pool was such a treat, and I loved relaxing in the beautiful spa lounge after a busy day. Just a heads up, some areas could use a little maintenance, but it didn’t take away from the overall vibe. 😊

    beautiful architecture
    calming thermal pools
    maintenance issues
    disappointing coffee service
    fluctuating water pressure

    The stunning architecture and surrounding natural beauty immediately impress, and the thermal pools offer a truly calming experience. The breakfast was delightful, featuring fresh natural orange juice and a solid selection of options. However, there were noticeable maintenance issues, such as a broken shower head and fluctuating water pressure, which detracted from the comfort of the experience. Additionally, the lack of early coffee service was disappointing and should be addressed for better guest satisfaction.
