Another Most Excellent Family Reunion and Adventure at Tulemar Resort Spent the week at the Tulemar Resort in Manual Antonio. We stayed in a house with its own pool (Tule Villa). This is the 4th year in a row that our family Vacay (reunion) has been held at the Tule Villa so it is obvious that we love this place.The Tule Villa is a value when you consider the entire family (up to 9) can stay in one home. .I believe the service and amenities provided cannot be any better. The Villa and private pool are in excellent condition and the property is well maintained. Very relaxing week, our children (ages 33-50) enjoy this annual get together. Have already reserved the Tule Villa for next year. Concierge, and support staff do an excellent job making you feel welcome.
Amazing Stay at Casa Las Nubes Tulemar Resort We recently stayed at Casa Las Nubes at Tulemar Resort near Quepos, Costa Rica to celebrate our anniversary with our immediate family, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. We had 8 people in our group, and the house was incredibly spacious, comfortable, and perfect for everyone. One thing our family especially loved was the private workout room since we all enjoy staying active and working out together. Brian, our concierge, was outstanding. He made everything easy and stress-free throughout the trip. Every excursion he lined up either met or exceeded expectations — especially the spice tour, which ended up being one of our favorite experiences of the entire trip. The VIP daily service was also amazing. Having daily cleaning, laundry service, and everything consistently taken care of made the trip feel truly relaxing and effortless. We also had a private chef a couple nights, which made life so much easier and added a really special touch to the experience. The resort itself was exceptional. Having room service available both at the house and at the beach made everything incredibly convenient. The shuttle transportation throughout the resort and to nearby areas also made getting around effortless. If you are looking for a low-key, relaxing vacation where everything is handled for you, this is it. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would absolutely recommend Tulemar and Casa Las Nubes to anyone visiting Costa Rica. We would definitely come back.
Natur, Tiere und pure Entspannung Dieser Ort ist unglaublich entspannend und wunderschön. Das Personal im TuleCafe war sehr freundlich und sehr kenntnisreich über die Tiere im Resort — wir haben viel von ihnen gelernt. Ein großes Dankeschön an Jose Chacón, der uns jeden Tag mit einem Lächeln begrüßt hat. Wir haben in der Villa Ylang Ylang Oasis gewohnt und sie sehr geliebt. Alles war an seinem Platz, sehr komfortabel und mit viel Geschmack eingerichtet. Unser Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gefallen. Jeden Sonnenuntergang wurden wir von einer Gruppe süßer Affen besucht, außerdem haben wir Faultiere in den Bäumen und viele wunderschöne Vögel gesehen. Der Strand war atemberaubend und sehr ruhig. Wir waren auch sehr zufrieden mit unserem Concierge Brian, der uns bei all unseren Wünschen und Fragen sehr hilfreich zur Seite stand. Er war immer gut gelaunt, was unseren Aufenthalt noch unvergesslicher gemacht hat. Es fühlte sich wirklich wie ein Paradies an, und wir würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen.
AMAZING STAY !! First time in Costa Rica and they set the bar high ! AMAZING PLACE!! It’s like you are in your own little part of the world! We stayed in the Oceanview villa . Super clean ! Perfect for a couple get away . Can walk to one of the restaurants on site . Food was great . We are ate at both that was on site . There is one we didn’t try across the street . They have beach service as well and also ate on beach . All the staff was super nice . Saw lots of animals onsite . They will pick up up in a super clean van and take you to any where in the resort . While the resort is beautiful and makes you feel like you are in your own part of jungle the walk down to beach or around resort can be tiring if not in great shape so this make it a plus for sure !! Would highly recommend!! Also while not all inclusive you sign a ticket and pay at end of stay . After doing the math, the price wasn’t much different than if we’ve booked an all inclusive. you won’t be disappointed I usually like to go to one place one time but seriously about bringing the family back. We took the charter plane from main airport was a great adventure in its own resort is a short drive from quepos . Also recommend going to Rainmaker !
Grandparents, kids and grandkids Absolutely wonderful! Ages 5 to 80! Accommodations perfect! We had an entire house overlooking the jungle and Pacific Ocean. Our own pool but other pools and private beach were close by. A large variety of adventures such as white water rafting, horseback riding, night time jungle walks, etc were available. We hired a chef who adjusted everything to meet our dietary needs. Housecleaning staff seemed to to sense exactly when we were all out. Monkeys and macaws were a joy to see in our “backyard”!
Perfect relaxing beach holiday Our stay at Tulemar Resort was great! Exceeded my expectations in many ways. Being in the rainforest meant lots of wildlife roaming free, amazing views, privacy but still surrounded by amenities and spots to visit outside of the resort. The concierge Jorge was very helpful starting from before, during, and after our trip – he helped answer our questions, booked our excursions, coordinated any other requests we had and more. The shuttle drivers were all lovely and gave great suggestions when we wanted to explore. Lots of delicious sodas around the town worth visiting. The pools and beach were so beautiful and relaxing, we wanted to swim everyday. It is at the top of a steep hill with a single lane so if you are driving, keep that in mind but it wasn’t difficult to get around MA and Quepos at all. Would love to stay again!
Fabulous Experience at Tulemar We absolutely loved our stay at Tulemar. The entire atmosphere was relaxed and zen. The rooms were perfect and the location was prime. Our concierge CJ made our vacation. He was there for all our needs and wants. The crew at The Cafe were wonderful and tons of fun! The entire stay @ Tulemar was fabulous and we even spent time w sloths. Tulemar is a sloth safe haven and our volunteer guide Ellie was extremely knowledgeable. 100% satisfied w Tulemar.
Experience of a lifetime @ Tulemar We had a wonderful experience at Tulemar Resort. Raul was an incredible concierge and booked all our activities and excursions with ease. We saw sloths all over the property and ran into a sloth researcher. The beach was beautiful and we had fun boogie boarding! Overall, amazing stay for our family.
Amazing Amazing experience. The resort is perfect. It is very expansive so nothing is ever too busy. Our kids love wildlife so they were captivated by the Monkeys, Sloth, Iguanas, Jesus Lizards, Macaws, etc we saw all day everyday.
Beautiful views Beautiful resort and our concierge Fabio was fantastic. We were surrounded by monkeys and saw macaws from our patio. The Sloth Walk was a great learning experience. The beach was ok, a bit rough waters. Lots of hills but there is a shuttle.
Incredible locale and accommodations This place is truly magical. The accommodations and the service by the staff was top notch. Jorge went out of his way to accommodate all our needs
Loved It! Can’t Wait To Go Back! We stayed at Tulemar Resort last week and really enjoyed the warmth of the country, the people, the culture and the ocean! Our house – the Beach House – was stunning. Pretty bedrooms with much-needed, beautiful common areas ideal for a big group (8+), gorgeous pool/pool area, and well-stocked for cooking/swimming/family of 10. The property manager/chef, Tito, was super helpful/attentive, and the housekeepers were thorough and thoughtful. It was one of the best vacations we’ve had as a family and we can’t wait to go back! That said, based on the reviews I was expecting a 5-star resort, and Tulemar simply isn’t the type of “resort” you might be expecting. It’s a beautiful location and worth visiting for sure, but it’s not fancy. Leave the fancy clothes behind and get ready for low-key chill vibes…something we all need more of! A few minor things that I think could be improved: 1) the community pools need to be cleaned more regularly. They’re pretty, but the pool decks were covered in debris each day we visited (especially the one by the cafe). 2) The ocean cove was peaceful, and calm for swimming/boogie boarding, but 5 members of our group (including a young child) were stung by jellyfish. Again, not a huge deal, but apparently it’s common – we were not warned. Bring swim shoes, lots of sun screen, and LOTS of bug spray…and enjoy! It’s the people, and the culture, that make people come back to CR over and over again. See you soon, Tulemar, and thank you!
