Cabinas Los Tucanes was a great place to stay in the charming village of El Castillo, close to Arenal Volcano. We had a spacious upstairs room with a spectacular view of the lake and volcano. The high-ceiling room was bright and spotlessly clean, spacious and had a nice deck. It came equipped with a coffee maker and small refrigerator, and the beds were very comfortable. The owner Fanny served us a delicious breakfast and went out of her way to be helpful in many ways.

We had a pleasant stay in July 2023! The service was great and we had a great view from the balcony/veranda (top room). Rooms were clean (w. Refrigerator!), and nice breakfast. Only 20 min to La Fortuna and 15 min to volcan trail parts.

The best breakfast in Costa Rica, everything of your choice, perfectly prepared.
The helpfulness and friendliness of the staff = Ivania.
Beautiful view of the volcano and the lake.
Spacious, beautiful room with quiet refrigerator. Unfortunately the lighting is very poor and unpleasant.
2 excellent restaurants nearby.
N.B. The roads here are very steep.

Beware of the room next to the owner’s office (and front dining room)! Its the image shown in the booking.com profile. Noisy (next to office, so you hear all conversations between guests and the owner, plus her dog barking outside the room window, and phone ringing). Lighting in the room did not allow reading of books - you’d have to use a torch. The only positive is that the room was clean.

I acknowledge that other rooms may be much better (I have read sone of the other reviews), even very pleasant and spacious, but my room was unacceptable. I don’t think it should be rented out given its location. You have been warned.

I’m sorry I can’t be more positive - perhaps my standards are too high.

Loved our room here – the first time we’ve had a fridge on our travels in Nicaragua & Costa Rica! – and the coffee machine and cups, plates, etc were a really nice touch.

The room was spotlessly clean and the location is great for visiting Volcán Arenal, the Laguna, local hot springs and the Arenal Observatory Lodge trails.

We did not actually stay at the cabins, but we used their services. Mauricio (owner) was our driver while we were in Arenal and he was great. Very knowledgeable, always on time, and reasonably priced.

This is a bare-bones budget hotel. It's clean, affordable, and the proprietors are friendly. With that said, I don't think we'd stay there again. The bathroom was very small, no television, the internet didn't work, and our kitchenette had ants. If you need just a place to crash this place is okay. If your expectations are higher, then I'd try somewhere else.

This was my absolute favorite place that I stayed while visiting Costa Rica. The location was amazing and I loved that it was a good distance away from La Fortuna (which is all tourists). This location was great if you're interested in getting to know locals and learning about the culture. The bed and breakfast was so clean and the hospitality was incredible. Great breakfast every morning and the views of Arenal Volcano were out of this world. When I come back to Costa Rica I will definitely be back to this spot!

A great stay in Castillo with a beautiful view on Arenal volcano. The family that runs the 3 rooms is so kind and nice and they are very helpful if you need any suggestions for trips around. The rooms are very big and clean with separate bathrooms and shower and some kitchen facilities too; what I really loved during our stay was the hand made breakfast too, with fresh fruits and Costaricans traditional dishes. A very good stay in a fantastic corner of Costa Rica.
