LIFE IN THE VALLEY
Settle in.
Feel at home.
Toucan Valley is a quiet residential community. Contact management before arrival for check-in, parking and villa Wi-Fi details.
Select an icon, heading or description for more details.
Movie dinners, potlucks, yoga, games and creative activities vary by season. Ask management to join the Food & Events @ Osa WhatsApp group for current arrangements.
Children under 16 must have adult supervision at the pool; no lifeguard is on duty. Community laundry is available to guests; ask about booking a slot during busy periods.
Wi-Fi is available in villas and common areas, with occasional outages. Mobile reception is limited. Keep noise conversational and observe quiet hours from 9 pm to 8 am.
Guests may pick ripe produce. Green flags mean ready to harvest; red flags mean wait. Ask the crew about unfamiliar plants and seasonal produce collections.
Use the villa’s compost bucket and follow its instructions. Take waste to the central collection area and separate compost, recyclables and general rubbish. Rinse containers.
Make yourself at home at the pool and community centre, with billiards, table tennis and a pickleball court. Players of all levels are welcome; ask the office for paddles and balls and about the Osa Pickle Ball WhatsApp group. Lessons and friendly tournaments have been part of high-season life, but dates vary. Confirm current fitness-centre and library access with management.
Movie dinners, potlucks, creative sessions, games and seasonal yoga give neighbours and guests ways to connect. Past programmes included cooking workshops, dancing and crew-appreciation events; these are examples, not a current schedule. Yoga may be volunteer-led or taught by a visiting instructor, with donations requested when applicable. Ask management about the Food & Events @ Osa WhatsApp group, available equipment, reservations and this season’s programme.
No lifeguard is on duty. Children under 16 must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian in the pool area; glass is not allowed in the pool or on the deck. Follow the posted rules and management’s advice. Community laundry is available to guests: ask how to reserve a slot during busy periods and leave the space ready for the next person.
Villa and common-area Wi-Fi helps you stay connected, although rainforest outages can occur and mobile reception is limited. Confirm the connection in your chosen villa if working online is essential. Keep everyday sound at conversational volume and observe quiet hours from 9 pm to 8 am. Ask management how to get help and receive community announcements during your stay.
Ask the crew what is in season and how to harvest unfamiliar plants. Green flags mean produce is ready; red flags mean leave it to ripen. Take only what you need and leave some for neighbours. Seasonal collections may be available through the crew. Enjoy watching visiting birds and butterflies without disturbing them, and keep pets out of the vegetable gardens in accordance with the guest rules.
Use the compost bucket provided in your villa and follow its instructions for accepted organic material. Guests take their rubbish to the central collection area and separate compost, recyclables and general waste according to the signs. Rinse recyclable containers, close bins securely and ask the crew if unsure where something belongs. This helps keep the village clean and avoids attracting wildlife.
