Wonderful week at Toucan Valley with our family of four adults in June 2026. Woke up to howler monkeys every morning, saw amazing birds, and loved the waterfall trails. Great community vibe too, pickleball, food garden, pool, ping pong (about 35 units, so busier in high season). A few notes: 4WD recommended, 25 min off the highway with some steep sections (we visited start of rainy season; Dec-April is easier/more popular). Fully self-contained, no restaurant, so plan 30-35 min to Palmar Norte for groceries. Wifi went out most of our stay (Thu-Mon); Jonathan helped where he could and we used the office wifi nearby. No cell service on property either. House has original 2012 furniture, a bit dated; upstairs king bed was great, downstairs twins could be updated; AC upstairs only. Jonathan and son Clayton were wonderful hosts, very helpful throughout. Recommend for travelers wanting a quiet, natural escape.

Jonathan was very helpful and  flexible. The community is very nice. The kids love to be in the pool. I definitely recommend this place.

Everything was great. Clayton's service was wonderful. e The place is very secluded, surrounded by selvay mountains. erlo we were looking for.

Todo estuvo muy bien. La atención de Clayton fue maravillosa. e El lugar está muy apartado, rodeado de selvay montañas. erlo que estábamos buscando.

super good everything, the house is very nice, spacious, with good ventilation. The kitchen is very well equipped. and the perfect location and view

super bien todo, la casa muy bonita, amplia, con buena ventilación. la cocina muy bien equipada. y la ubicación y la vista perfectas

This is our second stay at Toucan Village. We had 2 bedroom villa this year and enjoyed the extra space. It was well equiped with a great kitchen. It is right down in the rain forest which keeps it nice and cool but a little dark. The village is 2000ft above sea level which keeps it much cooler then being closer to the beach. A 4x4 vehicle is required to handle the hill. There is a great pool and common area to lounge at. There are several great hikes to waterfalls as well as a pool rable ping pong and pickle ball court. The only drawback is it is 30 to 40 minutes to the beaches and towns. That is not a problem if you enjoy swimming, walking and relaxing up on the mountain. It is a great place to be.

We had a pleasant stay in this lost house in the jungle. The photos and description are true to what we found when we arrived. We enjoyed walking to the waterfalls and taking advantage of the pool. Tips: Remember to do the shopping well, otherwise you'll have to go back to Ciutad Cortes 20’drive away. We were coming from Cahuita. We followed Waze's directions. You might as well tell you we got lost on the slopes. It was beautiful but with the night that was a little stressful especially since the network was not capturing. G …. map saved us. Jonathan was always there to answer our every request. Enjoy nature, listen to the monkeys and raise your head because you will really see Pelicans.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette maison perdue dans la jungle. Les photos et la description sont fidèles à ce que nous avons trouvé en arrivant. Nous avons bien aimé nous promener jusqu’aux cascades et profiter de la piscine. Petits conseils: Pensez à bien faire les courses, sinon il faudra revenir à Ciutad Cortes à 20’ de route. Nous arrivions de Cahuita. Nous avons suivi les indications de Waze. Autant vous dire qu’on s’est perdu sur les pistes. C’était magnifique mais avec la nuit qui tombait un peu stressant surtout que le réseau ne captait pas. G …. map nous a sauvé. Jonathan a était toujours présent pour répondre à nos moindres demandes. Profitez de la nature, écoutez les singes et levez la tête car vous verrez vraiment des Pélicans.

Very peaceful place with great people occupying the Village. Also great host, John,  who is also making the impossible to accommodate you and making your stay as good as possible 👍

Toucan Valley was a very good experience, our family liked it very much. It is in the middle of the mountain, a lot of nature, forest, fauna, there is a trail for very nice waterfalls, etc. but at the same time it is about 30 minutes from the beach if you want to combine. The place is very well maintained, the photos are accurate, comfortable villas, well equipped, there is an orchard, pool, pool table. It is a place to literally “retreat” from the noise of the city. The only consideration that seems important to me is that the path is not very good and because it is mountainy, if you need a 4x4. I thought it wouldn't be necessary so I went in a 4x2 SUV and I almost didn't get it. Our host is always attentive and willing.

Toucan Valley fue una muy buena experiencia, a nuestra familia nos gustó mucho. Está en medio de la montaña, mucha naturaleza, bosque, fauna, hay un sendero para unas cataratas muy bonitas, etc. pero al mismo tiempo esta a unos 30 min de la playa si se quiere combinar. El lugar está muy bien mantenido, las fotos son exactas, villas cómodas, bien equipadas, hay un huerto, piscina, mesa de pool. Es un lugar para "retirarse" literalmente del ruido de la ciudad. La única consideración que me parece importante es que el camino no es muy bueno y por ser montaña, si se necesita un 4x4. Yo pensé que no sería necesario por lo que fui en un SUV 4x2 y casi no lo logro. Nuestro anfitrión siempre atento y dispuesto.

This accommodation is really great, very spacious over 2 floors, the kitchen better equipped than my own.  The Toucan Valley can be reached via a 7 km gravel road uphill, four-wheel drive necessary. The complex is also great for children, pool, ping pong, billiards, washing machines and dryers, all free of charge. Lots of birds and butterflies. The hit is the garden where fruits and vegetables are grown, guests are allowed to help themselves. Right behind the house a 1.5 km path to a wonderful waterfall and a spectacular tree. And John, the manager is super personable. He had a lot of time for us, showed us everything, gave tips for various excursions and then organized them for us.

Diese Unterkunft ist wirklich klasse, sehr geräumig über 2 Etagen, die Küche besser ausgestattet als meine eigene.  Das Toucan Valley ist über eine 7 km Schotterstraße bergauf erreichbar, Allradantrieb notwendig. Die Anlage ist auch für Kinder großartig, Pool, Tischtennis, Billard, Waschmaschinen und Trockner, alles kostenlos. Viele Vögel und Schmetterlinge. Der Hit ist der Garten, in dem Obst und Gemüse angebaut wird, die Gäste dürfen sich bedienen. Direkt hinter dem Haus ein 1,5 km Pfad zu einem wunderbaren Wasserfall und einem spektakulären Baum. Und John, der Manager ist supersympathisch. Er hatte viel Zeit für uns, hat uns alles gezeigt, Tipps für verschiedene Ausflüge gegeben und diese dann auch für uns organisiert.

Mountain, pool, waterfall, beach and canopy... the best combination, very good place, if a 4x4 vehicle is necessary

Montaña, piscina, catarata, playa y canopy.. la mejor combinación, muy buen lugar, si es necesario un vehículo 4x4
