Everything exceeded our expectations. From the friendliness of the staff. To the beautiful villa. To the non-stop wildlife cruising through daily. To the private beach. To the courtesy resort shuttle. To the room service. To our deck view. Even the weather cooperated. In a word..nirvana. For real...

Loved how all villas had some ocean view and sunset view. Like being in a treehouse. Their cafe had the best food in the local area. Best beach around, not busy. The staff was amazing for anything you needed. The tours they offered were fantastic. Only negatives- hard to get hot water for showers.

Loved everything about Tulemar except a few unruly young adult guests that were feeding the monkeys and making the staff work harder than necessary. Take the Sloth Walk. Learned so much about the wildlife on the grounds!

We absolutely loved Tulemar and did not want to leave. Orlando and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. The shuttles around the property were a blessing for all the hills. The beach was clean and beautiful. Our villa was amazing! We loved seeing all the creatures around the property. I will be recommending this location to everyone.

We were in the premium villas (2 bedroom 2.5 bath). Great amenities though for the price and class of resort we were expecting the villas to be a bit more upgraded. Lighting was fairly poor on the patio where the dining table was so we couldn't really dine outside as a family it was very hard to see. Wifi didn't reach down to the bedrooms on the floor below. The curtains in the master bedroom was nearly impossible to use as it would always get stuck and you have to pull really hard, sometimes feeling like you might accidentally rip the curtain rods right out of the wall just to close or open the curtains each day. That said, the resort is still excellent. We spent the day at their private beach which had gentle waves and services like food/drinks and towels. Every evening we sat in the hot tub to watch the gorgeous sunsets (beware it'll take about 60 minutes to warm up). And after we return from dinner we will usually see a volunteer from the sloth sanctuary on property tracking sloths. There was almost always one in the tree right above our car in the parking area right above the villas. It's definitely a pricey stay and for us it was worth it, but just temper your expectations about some of the little details. Pura vida!

We loved our time at Tulemar! Everyone on the staff was so helpful and gracious. We had a personal concierge and his name was Miguel, he was great!! Our tour guide for Manuel Antonio National Park was phenomenal. His name was Carlos and he was so full of knowledge!! We had the best time and I will be recommending him to all my friends who go to Costa Rica!! We will also be recommending Tulemar Resort.

We liked everything, except that some people would talk on the phone on their balconies and we could hear them like they were talking beside us. Also in the bungalow next to us two teenage boys would be make a lot of noise while on their balcony too. Generally noise caused by other guests is my only issue with our stay. Everything else was great.

When we first arrived, I wasn’t totally thrilled. The beach is not an easy walk away, the water isn’t as blue or clear as Hawaii, the room wasn’t that super. BUT, I had to shift my expectations- this isn’t Maui. What makes it better- the SERVICE is amazing. They’ll shuttle you to the beach and back all day. The food at the Tulecafe is pretty amazing. You can have your meals and drinks at the beach. The water is nice and warm. They give you free kayaks, boogie boards, sand toys. There’s plenty of seating and shade at the beach. Hanging out at the beach was probably our best day. We left the resort to go to a vrbo that was 9x bigger than our casa at Tulemar and at first our entire party was excited to have a giant space. But within a half day, we all agreed we’d much rather spend our time at Tulemar. We’re a large family, traveling with 4 adults, 2 teens & a baby, fairly well traveled and are lucky to travel well & Tulemar will be near the top of our favorite places and we’d love to come back (we don’t visit too many places more than once). So sad Tulemar didn’t have the availability to extend our stay :(

The staff at Tulemar are excellent - every one of them! The restaurant food was extremely good. The setting was beautiful. We saw a lot of wildlife here! From the window of our room we saw Scarlet macaws, sloths, Capuchin monkeys, and more. We had a great time here and highly recommend this resort.

This property is absolutely amazing! They really work hard at preserving the nature around the facility and pointing out the wildlife to you. They had multiple pools and they have rooms with a full kitchen and there’s even a little store available if you want to eat in, instead at one of their two restaurants! You have the most amazing views from anywhere on the property as well as a full service private beach equipped with lounge chairs, drink and food service, free kayaks and boogie boards made it even better!!! I’ll be back for sure!

Wow. Spectacular. All the staff was so kind and friendly. Don’t worry just book. We ended up adding one more night, wish we could have stayed longer (and miss our flight lol). Views from the bungalow were amazing. These resort is immersive with wildlife and natural landscaping. Beach was quite and enjoyed a taste of paradise. Concierge team was easy to reach and even helped with park tickets. Thank you guys.

Beyond expectation. We arrived at night and told we were staying one of the best bungalows. Next day, we were wowed by the view! We enjoyed our stay at Tulemar even during rain storm. Jean Carlo was helping us checking in, booking trips, arranging additional trip, restaurant reservations, everything you can think of. He is an excellent concierge! We saw sloth and macaw day one, keep seeing more animals on site. Ride to the beach, cafe food was yummy, this is THE vacation and Tulemar is a big part of why we enjoyed our vacation 120%.
