Honeymoon of our dreams Tulemar exceeded every expectation we had and made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed, cared for, and genuinely valued. The entire experience was exceptional from beginning to end. We started our stay in the Monkitail Villa and then transitioned to a Bamboo Villa during our trip. The transition was completely seamless, and both villas were absolutely beautiful and felt like our own little piece of paradise. HIGHLY recommend bamboo villas for just couples/honeymooners! Every detail of the resort is thoughtfully done, and the setting is simply breathtaking. A huge part of what made our stay so special was our incredible concierge Raul. He went above and beyond for us throughout our entire stay. Raul arranged all of our excursions, helped us with anything we needed, and always made us feel like we were more than just guests — he truly made us feel like family. We cannot thank him enough for helping make our honeymoon so perfect (and we miss the brownie deliveries so much)! Every single day at Tulemar felt like paradise on earth. The beautiful jungle, incredible wildlife, stunning beach, wonderful accommodations, and exceptional staff made it so difficult to leave. We have been home for a little while now, and honestly, we already feel homesick for Costa Rica and Tulemar! That says everything about how special this place is to us. We are already looking forward to the day we can come back. If you have the opportunity to stay at Tulemar, DO IT. You absolutely will not regret it. It is more than a resort — it is an experience, and one that we will cherish forever. Thank you Tulemar for giving us the honeymoon of our dreams. We cannot wait to return one day. Pura Vida forever 🇨🇷🌴❤️
Great resort, beautiful location, with walkable access to local stores and restaurants My family and I had an excellent time at Tulemar resort. Our room, Tule Casa, was extraordinary. It sits above the office at the main entrance, which seemed weird at first, but holy cow, the view was exquisite. And we had so much wildlife pass only a few yards in front of us off of the deck–lots of monkeys (capuchins, howlers, and squirrels), iguanas, an amazing sloth, and even an ant eater. The semi-private beach was clean and fun, with lots of water toys available to check out. It can be a long, steep trek from the front of the resort to the beach, but they run a regular shuttle service to make it easy. We didn’t eat much on the property because it was so easy to walk from the resort to one of the many local restaurants and grab a bite there. We loved it, highly recommend!
5 star family trip! Where do I start? Tulemar was our first stop in Costa Rica, and we loved it! Our concierge Laura was amazing and very attentive to all of my questions, including on the front end of the trip. She helped make reservations at multiple excursions for my family (8 year old and 5 year old) and made everything seamless. We stayed in the ocean view villa, and it was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the patio and having access to a kitchen. We visited the cafe pool and the family pool and got to see howler monkeys and white-faced monkeys everyday! As for excursions, we opted for an ATV tour visiting a waterfall and the Manual Antonio National Park. Our guide were incredible – my kids still talk about them! We got to experience natural like we’ve never experienced before, and I’m so grateful we found Tulemar as part of our visit. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be back!
Dream Vacation, Unforgettable place! Incredible stay, beautiful setting, and amazing staff!! So much wildlife, in such a lush setting, saw so many monkeys daily on our balcony, macaws, and a few sloths!! 4 pools to choose from, dining was excellent and the exclusive beach was unreal. Everything we could of hoped for all in one place. Will cherish this holiday forever and highly recommend!
Great place Been going there for years as it’s the best place to be! The staff , the food , the scenery is amazing:) Highly recommend everyone to go and experience the best place in the world Costa Rica ! By far the only place we vacation.
Bungalow adventure This adventure was nothing but amazing! It all started with the help of Miguel who was our concierge! He was amazing and helped our family navigate the way through this whole trip. Him and his team along with the shuttle drivers were all great and made our week here at the bungalow house everything we wanted it to be! Please don’t hesitate to book this resort, they go above and beyond to make sure your stay is amazing. Miguel, thank you so much for helping and making our families trip be amazing!
What an experience! There were 6 of us (all 1st time in CR). From pick-up from the airport to drop off, everything was amazing! The host, Jorge and his staff was as amazing as the experience. Whether we needed ice, batteries or even a ride somewhere, his team was there! The wildlife was such an experience…we saw macaws, all kinds of birds and plenty of monkeys. Unfortunately, we didn’t see a sloth. The view is so beautiful! The beach was lovely but had a lot of waves that I enjoyed so much! The food & beverages on the beach were great as well. The Tule Villa was beautiful! Verywell kept and very roomy. Housekeeping was there every day (if you want) and made sure we had everything we needed. For the cost of everything, I was surprised how affordable everything was. It was very quiet (except for the cicadas in the morning) & we couldn’t hear any neighbors except for the wildlife. Each room had a TV, comfortable bedding, plenty of towels, shampoo, lotions etc. Shout out to Jorge and his Team….they were all wonderful!!! I would recommend Tulemar to everyone!
Best stay Amazing time. Staff made us feel very welcome, like being at home with great beach, home and surroundings!
Absolutely perfect I have nothing but love for this resort. We stayed in Villa Mot Mot and it could not have been more perfect – the views, the monkeys, the a/c, the beds, our concierge. We could walk to the beach in about 20 minutes and we loved the little pools tucked away. I was with four agile teenagers. The resort on on a pretty steep slope, so while they are great about picking you up and taking you where you want to go, it is probably not ideal for those with mobility, otherwise 5 Stars!
Beautiful property, fantastic views, great service & food My Family has been staying at Tulemar since 1998. The food, service and property keeps getting better. This was our first trip without kids. The adults had a great time. Casa Palmas Del Mar was a perfect house for a large group of friends. Jorge our concierge was amazing. Booked tours, spa treatments & dinner reservations. Made our vacation a truly relaxing experience. Can’t wait to get back to Tulemar.
