This Green Season, Tulemar Resort invites you to experience Costa Rica at its wildest and most vibrant. From now until Nov. 15, 2025, enjoy up to 35% off select room types when you book directly. With fewer crowds, fuller waterfalls, and the rainforest at its greenest, it’s the best time to slow down, reconnect with nature, and see more wildlife than ever before. Below are just a few of the many incredible animals you might spot in and around Tulemar.
Known for their vibrant green bodies and bright red eyes, the red-eyed tree frog uses the lush tree canopy to camouflage itself. Despite their striking colors, these frogs aren’t poisonous—just masters of disguise, blending beautifully into the rainforest at Tulemar Resort.
Keel-billed toucans, with their vibrant colors and oversized beaks, play a vital role in the rainforest that surrounds Tulemar, as they spread seeds and support plant growth—all while adding a splash of color to the treetops.
Often thought of as slow movers, three-toed sloths might surprise you, they can rotate their heads 360° and are surprisingly fast swimmers, once in the water they are much more agile than on land.
Collared Aracaris are easy to spot with their striking beaks that can take up nearly a quarter of their body length, at Tulemar Resort you might hear with their sharp “pseek” call echoing through the trees.
Squirrel monkeys are small, energetic primates often seen leaping through the treetops in lively groups. Their curious nature and expressive faces make them a favorite among wildlife watchers in Costa Rica.
Whether it’s toucans in the trees, monkeys in the canopy, or frogs calling in the night, Tulemar offers a front-row seat to the wonders of the rainforest. Take advantage of our Green Season special—up to 35% off select room types now until Nov. 15, 2025. Book direct at tulemarresort.com, call 1-800-518-0831, or email [email protected].
Andres Picado was born in a small rural town in Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica. He grew up helping his parents with farming and ranching while attending school. From a very young age, he dreamed of learning to play the guitar and at the age of 16, with the support of his mother, he was able to buy his first guitar.
Later, Andres moved to Quepos in search of work. He spent many years in the hotel industry, teaching himself to play guitar in his spare time and dreaming of one day performing at restaurants and events. His passion for music led him to travel to San José to study and further develop his skills.
While working as a driver here at Tulemar, he got the opportunity to play live music at Tule Café. Since then, Andres has dedicated the past 4 years entirely to music, performing regularly at Tule Café, Victorias Italian Restaurant, and various tourist venues in and around the Quepos area.
You can catch him live at Tule Café every Monday (5-7 pm) and Saturday (4:30-6:30 pm). Come for the music, stay for the stunning ocean views and delicious Costa Rican dishes.

When you stay at Tulemar Resort, you’re not just booking a place to sleep, you’re stepping into a private slice of Costa Rica’s natural beauty. One of the resort’s most treasured features is the secluded Tulemar Beach, nestled at the base of the lush rainforest and overlooking the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean.
A complimentary shuttle ride from your villa takes you to this peaceful cove, where soft sand and clear waters invite you to unwind. Once you arrive, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing day by the water — from comfortable sun loungers and umbrellas to complimentary Wi-Fi and beach towels. Our beach staff is on-site to deliver food and beverages from Tule Cafe, so you can settle in for the day.
For those looking to be more active, the beach offers a range of activities to enjoy. Try out a complimentary kayak, and take it for a paddle along the coastline, grab a boogie board and catch a few waves, or explore the shoreline on foot with a scenic jungle or beach walk. The calm, clear water also makes it a great spot for swimming and snorkeling.
If you like to begin your day with a swim or spend the afternoon relaxing beneath the palms, Tulemar Beach offers a quiet, welcoming setting for everyone. With its calm waters and natural surroundings, there’s plenty to enjoy at your own pace.
