Overall Ratings & Reviews The Toucan Inn

The rooms were updated and clean. There was a desk and chair which was convenient. The bathroom door opened inward which made space to walk around the toilet, awkward. The vanity mirror in the sink area, didn't have a light. We arrived around supper time & was informed the restaurant was having a private event so would not be available to us. It was a holiday weekend & many other places were closed in the village. The next morning, we were going to have breakfast but they were very understaffed & still hadn't gotten our food after almost 2 hours of waiting. The restaurant was quite busy with only 1 server and 1 cook. I had a meeting so had to leave without getting my order. Outside the lack of food options and staff shortage, the rooms and beds were fine, the grounds were well taken care of, the parking felt secure. Hope they can find more people to staff the restaurant. I did hear the food was good once you got it.

We have stayed at Toucan several times and enjoy all their services. The food from the restaurant is excellent.

Upscale from the other properties in the area and provided a lovely short stay.

This place is super new or super newly renovated. It seems to be one of the first of its kind in this particular town. There is a fence around the property, but we didn’t see any particular need for it, aside from making guests feel secure and a little more away from the local sounds and sights. The neighborhood seemed laid back and not touristy. The bar-restaurant is SO cute. The food was excellent. I had the steak. My friend had the conch ceviche. Both were excellent. I also had the enormous dessert in a tall glass. There was fruit and jello and whipped goodness and it was huge. Caroline, the lady who was working the bar and dining room, was easily the highlight of this restaurant experience. She was so much fun and easy to talk to. She said the place hasn’t been open long. It would be in the owner’s best interest to keep her happy; she was an absolute delight. This place was a fantastic last minute find. The rooms are SO clean and sparkling new feeling. We actually wondered if we were the first guests in that particular room (we didn’t ask). Go here! Stay here! Eat here too!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Toucan. The property was recently renovated and all furniture and linen are brand new & of high quality. The staff are really attentive and there is good security at night. We felt very safe! It's less than an hour to the Jaguar reserve, spice farm and to Punta Gorda. It’s only a few minutes by boat to Placencia. There are water taxis that leave every half hour. A good midway point to rest up if going to Punta Gorda. We will definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends & family! You won’t be disappointed!
