Welcome our new Resort Photographer

If you see a new smiling face wandering around Buena Vista’s property, camera in hand – please walk on up and say hi!

We want to warmly welcome Roger Orozco to our staff as our new Resort Photographer.

Roger will not only be able to make suggestions and take care of details of how best to enjoy our resort and the surrounding area, but also fulfill a new role we’ve never had at Buena Vista – a staff photographer.

We’ve always wanted a professional on staff that can take advantage of the changing light and color of our magnificent tropical site, the exotic wildlife that lives here, and the natural wonders that we enjoy every day. We’ve also wanted to respond to our guests’ needs who often ask about the services of a professional photographer to capture special moment during a visit for a birthday, anniversary or honeymoon.

When you arrive at Buena Vista, please stop by and say hello to Roger!

Nature Air – Buena Vista’s preferred Airline in Costa Rica!

Resort destinations and airlines – they go hand in hand. And Now Buena Vista is making it easier for you to coordinate both!

Tulemar Resort is excited to announce that we’ll be working exclusively with Nature Air, our carrier of choice in Costa Rica, making your travel planning easier than ever.

Nature Air is your most convenient and direct connection to the Quepos area and to Buena Vista, helping ensure that you get the most out of your time in Costa Rica!

Explore Manuel Antonio

Manuel Antonio is a small town just south of Quepos. The town itself is one main road that begins just outside of downtown Quepos and continues to end at the Manuel Antonio National Park, which is adjacent to the public beach. This road stretches about 6 miles and along the way, guests and locals alike will find many restaurants, a grocery store, souvenir shopping, banks, ATM, and small cafes.

Manuel Antonio offers the majestic Pacific coastline and rainforest jungle. Just about any Costa Rica excursion you could think of can be done in Manuel Antonio, from water sports, to fishing, to white water rafting, to horseback riding, to zip line tours, to nature excursions and much more. The staff at Tulemar Resort will introduce you to all of your options, you pick your adventure.

Elegant Beach Bungalows & Tulemar Villas

33 luxurious, self-contained villas and rustic bungalows are nestled into the hillside. It’s kind of like staying in your very own jungle tree house, except with modern conveniences that will enhance your stay, such as in-room climate controls, refrigerators (some villas have full kitchens), and refreshing rainfall shower heads.

Ranging from 1, 2, and 3-bedroom luxury villas to comfortable, budget-friendly bungalows, our accommodations will provide you with both the privacy and ample space needed for a romantic getaway for two or for a memory-filled vacation with your family and friends.

You can also take in some of the most spectacular scenery in all of Costa Rica since the Tulemar coast in all of its glory is on full display from many of the villas’ patios or balconies.
