Casa Toucan is a Luxury Treehouse!
Review Submitted: April 2, 2009
Date of Stay: March 2009
I organized a group of five friends (including myself) to spend the week at Casa Toucan during the second week of March. We had the most amazing week! We spent each day exploring the Uvita area--Scuba lessons & diving at Cano Island (amazing! including more white tip reef sharks than I saw in the Red Sea), swimming in the natural pools below waterfalls, fishing & eating Tilapia, body surfing and regular surfing in the Ballena National park, and nature hikes in that great reserve just south of Dominical. The BEST part though was returning each day to Casa Toucan just before sunset to have a sundowner cocktail, lounge in the pool and make dinner in the great (fully equiped) kitchen and grill out on the patio. The reason I call this place 'the luxury treehouse' is: 1) luxury=this house has everything you could want in a nice house back home: washer & dryer, dishwashing machine, garbage disposal, TV with DVD player, sound system for CDs, hot water showers. ...2) treehouse=have you seen the photos? it's in the middle of primary rainforest jungle! the house is open air (fully screened in) so you can hear the cicadas, howler monkeys, birds all day & night. All in all the perfect place for the nature lover who wants mountains & rainforest, ocean & beach, but does not want to give a single modern luxury! I am sure you will love the place as much as we did. P.S. The Road is an adventure! Get a good strong 4x4 and you will love it.
