We stayed in Casa Los Nubes and Casa Los Monos. The service provided by our concierge’s Mefi and Juan Carlos was fantastic. Beautiful setting with lots of wildlife. Also, the private beach is magical. I loved the peaceful,, quiet setting, with the ability to order food, and have it delivered down from the café. Pura Vida! read less

The only complaint I have is people walking their dogs through the beach on their way to hike. Some of the dogs were unleashed. There are signs prohibiting dogs on the beach and in the surroundings, but it is not enforced. read less

Miguel our concierge for our Bungalow took amazing care of all our needs and was always attentive. The accommodation was just breath taking with the layout and design providing each bungalow with a completely separate and very private feel, integrated into the natural jungle. This provided all the natural wildfire to interact with your immediate surroundings. The private beach was breathtaking also being surrounded with waterfalls and visited by a multitude of different wildlife including Sloth's , Monkeys and Iguana's. The available outside activities are plentifully with a great selection of various adventures to choose from. I would recommend a minimum of 7 days here and is both great for a romantic getaway or family vacation. We will definitely be coming back! 10/10 read less

We stayed in a Bungalow which had a fab balcony the accommodation has loads of room we were a family of 3 but you could fit another person easy. Fully fitted kitchen two large double beds and a sofa bed in the lounge . The resort beautifully done there are 4 pools that everyone can use they supply pool towels in your room and beach towels on the beach . We used the shuttle to and from the beach you’ll understand why if you go 🤩. The beach is guests only you can order drinks and food 10/10 allow time for it to arrive . I had the pleasure of dealing with Miguel he was my contact onsite we emailed before I had even arrived. I booked all my trips via him you pay when you check out . If I needed anything while I was there I just had to Whatapp him a true professional who made our stay seamless. Tulemar has a restaurant onsite amazing breakfasts portion sizes huge good value for money and cocktails with a view we also are at their Italian Victorias just across the road the shuttle came and picked us up as it was raining really hard. The Curry house across the road is worth a visit all of these restaurants will deliver to your room if you wish for a take out . Plenty of restaurants walking distance all great value I walked to a local bakery about 10 mins away if you just want something light for breakfast. We were lucky enough to see Sloths outside our room monkeys on the balcony and whales I can’t recommend Tulemar enough read less

I won’t repeat all the amazing accolades everyone else has, but suffice it to say Tulemar Resort is 5 stars across the board. Anything you could need or want is taken care of in an instant, on time, and with a smile. My in-laws, husband, and I stayed at Tule Villa for almost a week, and here’s what you need to know about that specific property if you’re considering it. - It’s one of the best houses if you want to see animals. We had sloths right next to the kitchen, squirrel monkeys every day (if not twice a day), white-faced monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, iguanas, agoutis and more within arms distance. - It may also be one of the hottest houses. Because you’re so low and in the midst of all the trees, a breeze is hard to come by. In the afternoon, the very intense sun shines directly into the house, making sitting on the balcony almost impossible. There are shades you can pull down on the balcony, but they don’t do much. We opened all the doors on the living room/kitchen/dining level, set up 5 floor fans, turned on all the ceiling fans, and still could barely handle it in the afternoons. The bedrooms have air conditioning, so we would retreat into those for breaks when needed. - All the rooms/bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, bar soap, hair dryers, and robes (no slippers). - There are 4 bedrooms (one is significantly smaller than the others). Each bedroom has a full bathroom, there is a half-bath on the main level, and there is a large, full-size bathroom on the bottom floor where the gym is. - There is a washer/dryer but you’ll need to bring your own detergent. - It’s far enough away from the restaurant that you’ll need to call for the shuttle anytime you want to go there, the beach, or the convenience store at the main office (which had enough provisions for our snacks and drinks – including alcohol) to keep on hand. We travel a lot and don’t normally return to the same place, but this was our second time at Tulemar, and it probably won’t be our last. read less

The bungalow I stayed in was beautiful and had a gorgeous view of the rainforest and ocean like advertised. If you love wildlife, this place is perfect because it also operates as a sloth sanctuary and there is no shortage of other animals, including monkeys!! The staff were all amazing and the food was delicious. I definitely plan on returning. read less

Before we ever arrived on the property we had an extremely friendly and helpful concierge named Orlando. Orlando had EXCELLENT communication from the beginning with details, tips, and advice with planning our stay and helping our family make the most out of our vacation. The hospitality of Orlando, and the ENTIRE Tulemar Resort staff was incredible. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. He arranged shuttle rides to and from every excursion he booked on our behalf. Our excursions would start with a reminder text the evening before list the activity, time, things to bring, etc. and they would end with Orlando checking in to see how the day went. Any question we had was just a quick text away. We even found out that he was admitted to the hospital at a point towards the end of our stay, but we would have NEVER known that if he hadn’t told us because his service was second to none. We have never had a family trip (My husband, son, daughter, my parents, and myself) so full of fun without any stress whatsoever knowing Orlando was taking care of us. We even had a low tire on our rental van, and he sent someone to our vacation rental to help us air it up. The home we stayed in was an incredible 3 story dream. The views from every deck were lifechanging, and we would see monkeys and Macaws just outside our panoramic windows every day. When a sloth was spotted near our property he would find out if we were available, and walk us to where we could see them! Orlando made our vacation to Costa Rica an absolute dream! He even checked in on us making sure we arrived back home safely at the end of our trip. I could go on and on about Orlando, every staff member we came in contact with, and the gorgeous resort but there are not enough words! read less

The bungalow was clean and spacious with a spectacular view and wildlife (monkeys, sloths, even a toucan!) in the trees right next to our balcony. Three pools available- our kids loved the family pool. We also went down to the beach one day. The shuttle service was fast and easy to use and the beach is very private and great for swimming. We ate at both of the properties restaurants which we enjoyed and ordered breakfast room service one day, which came promptly. Service was great throughout the stay. They’re very welcoming upon arrival and provide you with contact information for a concierge. Ours was Miguel. He reached out upon arrival and assisted with making dinner reservation for us and loading our things in and at checkout. Location is great right near Manuel Antonio Park. Hope to stay here again some day! read less
