Amazing couples trip to Tulemar We went on a couples trip to Tulemar and had the best time. Laura helped plan all of our activities and took care of every need we had. All of the drivers and staff were top notch. We highly recommend staying at Tulemar. The wildlife and private beach were amazing. There is never a dull moment. The driver that took us to and from the airport was awesome and made us feel like family. He made a few stops and was very informational. The resort was clean and very safe. We will be back!
Amazing Jorge did a phenomenal job planning and hosting us. The entire staff was so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The facilities and bungalows were in great condition. We didn’t want to leave. Had the most amazing experience and will be coming back!
Incredible honeymoon destination This was our honeymoon and exceeded all of our expectations! Tulemar resort took away all the stress And booked all of our excursions and planned our transportation throughout the whole week! The food on the property was delicious and the relaxation vibes were unmatched. Jean Carlo was our concierge and he made sure our stay was relaxing and full of ease. We stayed in three different villas on property and each one had amazing views surrounded by active wildlife. Our experience was unmatched and we couldn’t be more pleased!
Amazing resort, surpassed my expectations First time going to Tulemar Resort and Costa Rica. Family of 5 with 3 kids – 11, 9 and 6 years old. We had an amazing time. This resort surpassed our expectations. We stayed in Casa Panorama which had fantastic views. We got the 2nd and 3rd floor which have wrap around balconies. We saw so many animals just from our balconies. We had squirrel monkeys and capuchin monkeys coming onto our balcony. Be careful with the capuchin monkeys, they did break a cup of coffee and hit me multiple times on my back. It didn’t hurt and it was only one particular monkey that apparently didn’t like me. Howler monkeys also went around our house multiple times. We had a three fingered sloth living in the tree right next to us and we would see it move around late in the afternoon and evening. We had a palm tree right in front of us that birds loved to go to. We saw Toucans, parrots, and hawks. Multiple times we saw several scarlet macaws fly by. There are other houses similar to Casa Panorama but I noticed some of the balconies don’t wrap around the entire floor and there were some by the family pool which to me would be too loud. I really loved that Casa Panorama was very quiet and relaxing. Getting around the resort was easy. We frequently called the shuttle to pick us up to go the the beach, or the front of the resort. They picked us up right from our driveway and usually took about 5 minutes. Weather – We went in May and it was not as humid or hot as back home, which is Houston, TX. We also were surprised we didn’t have any issues with mosquitoes. We stayed 7 nights and it rained 3 nights. Two nights very heavily and there were thunderstorms but they started after the sunset. We were prepared and took our raincoats and ponchos. The power did go out for a couple of hours the days it storms. I noticed the power sometimes went out in restaurants and stores too. Clothes – We did great with taking one pair of water shoes, hiking shoes, and crocs. We did pack a lot of clothes even though the house had a washer and dryer. We would take showers twice a day so we would change every time. I still washed about every 2 days. Restaurants – We cooked at home for breakfast because we liked to relax and take it easy when we start our days. We ate out for lunch and dinner. There are two restaurants on the resort and they are pricey. About $25-$30 a plate. We are used to eating a variety of cuisines because how diverse our home city is. We were pleasantly surprised to have access to a variety of food in the restaurants right outside the resort – Japanese, Thai, Mediterranean, Costa Rican. They were also cheaper, usually between $12-$20 a plate. Highly recommend Sunset Bar, Samui Thai, Cafe Milagro, Cava, and Santa Plancha. Tours – We booked the Sloth Tour, Night Jungle Tour, Waterfalls Tour and Sukia Zipline. All of them were great. The Night Jungle Tour was amazing since we got to see so many animals like tarantulas, red eye tree frogs, walking sticks, scorpions, kinkajous. Make sure you wear long sleeves and long pants and closed covered shoes. The bugs will be all over you and there are bullet ants that are all over the floor. The Waterfall Tour was also very good. It was nice that they life vests for anyone who wanted one. There were jumps and waterfall slides that you could do or chose not to do. My youngest stayed in the shallow area. It is very muddy and slippery to get to the areas where the waterfalls are located so highly recommend you take water shoes. If your shoes have any openings rocks and pebbles get in and so do ants. The Zipline was too scary for my youngest but once you pass a rope you have to keep going. The guides were nice and offered to do tandem with him but in retrospect we should have skipped it as a family or just had our oldest kids do it
The ultimate honeymoon destination! We spent two weeks at the Tulemar for our honeymoon and it completely blew us away. The resort is gorgeous, but the service is what sets it apart. Huge shoutout to our concierge, Jean Carlo! He was so helpful and accommodating throughout our entire stay, making sure we had everything we needed to just relax and enjoy our time together. Everyone there was so nice, from all of the shuttle drivers, to housekeeping, to the gift shop staff; we felt so welcomed at every turn. I can’t say enough positive things about the Tulemar, I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone visiting Costa Rica!
Best combination of animals, views, luxury homes, exciting activities and wave riding Heaven on Earth. The Tulemar Resort has it all – tons of animals including Sloths, monkeys, Macaws and Parakeets, luxury homes with amazing views of the ocean and animal watching, excellent concierges (Jorge) that arranged driving and the most amazing trips that are high quality and high safety, and even restaurants and food stories walking distance. and I did not even mention the best beach right on property with Iguanas, crabs and amazing wave riding! (the week we were there). Note – the Sloth Institute Costa Rica is within the Resort (Tulemar gave the group land and a little funding!). This amazing non-profit has been doing Sloth rescue and rehabilitation for more than 10 years. our family of 5 (adults and adult children) all loved every minute of this vacation. Pure Vida!
Dream vacation with VIP service We have dreamed of taking our family on the trip of a lifetime in Costa Rica for years. Thanks to the VIP service from our concierge Fabio at Tulemar we were able to live that dream. We stayed at Casa Heliconia. The house was beautiful, and it was perfect for my wife and me, along with our four adult children and two of their partners. We had amazing views from our balcony, with visiting wildlife every day. The VIP shuttle took us to the beach and back and Fabio and the staff saw to all our needs. He made our visit so special and we really appreciate everything he did for us. We will definitely be back, and we highly recommend Tulemar and Fabio for your next vacation!
Tulemar Resort for an all around pampering and happy place Laura Is simply wonderful at Tulemar. She explained everything when we got there and then we messaged several times with questions about anything and she was quick to answer no matter what time of day and handle everything!! The villa was wonderful, the private beach the very best, restaurants fantastic and the Plumeria spa just wonderful. Shuttle drivers extraordinary they had wonderful attitudes no matter the distance. I don’t have all their names but each one made me feel special. Shout out to Alec and Jarreth Hope spelling is correct. But they were not alone. If in Manuel Antonio Costa Rica you must book there. Will be back!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
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 !
