I was in the second to last villa back in August. Loved it!! So jealous ...
Saw a pair fly over in the late afternoon a couple days in a row back in early May, but they always stayed hidden up in the treetop leaves; could hear them but not see them. Did see another pair close up in a tree near Manuel Antonio. So happy that Eric B got to see them at LS!

Still looking for the toucans, but there have been a dozen or so macaws in the trees every morning and several pairs every evening so far.

Edited to add that we found the toucans by the golf course!
