“Nature and luxury”
+Wonderful experience, so many animals on property in natural habitat (saw several sloths, squirrel monkeys (on our balcony) and capuchin monkeys - and a Toucan visited the pool area for a while. Great beach and helpful shuttle services. Excellent concierge service to coordinate all plans (thank you Miguel!).

“Exceptional Resort and Incredible Service”
+We had a wonderful stay at Tulemar Resort, and our concierge, Miguel, truly went above and beyond to make our experience seamless. He checked in with us every day, even coordinating the cleaning service around our schedule so we were never disturbed. He helped with food orders, restaurant reservations, excursions, and anything else we needed. Miguel was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. His exceptional service made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Tulemar and especially Miguel!

“Pura Vida: Incredible Ocean Views, Balcony Monkeys, and Outstanding Service”
+Tulemar served as the ideal backdrop for our family getaway to Costa Rica. The entire resort was breathtaking, completely exceeding everything we had anticipated. Our bungalow offered stunning views of both the jungle and the ocean,watching monkeys play right from our balcony and taking in the gorgeous evening sunsets were absolute highlights. We owe a special thank you to our concierge, Miguel Leiva, for going above and beyond throughout our stay. Miguel was remarkably warm, professional, and attentive. He assisted us seamlessly both before and during our stay, happily accommodating us even when our plans required last-minute changes. His genuine kindness made us feel truly welcome. If you are on the fence about booking, don't hesitate. You will be in wonderful hands, and we are already looking forward to returning!

“Amazing resort”
+This resort is truly stunning. The grounds are spectacular , we spotted howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, toucans, sloths, hummingbirds, and iguanas throughout our stay. The pools are lovely too, with the jungle pool being our favourite; it genuinely felt like stepping into a Jurassic Park scene. Every staff member we met was warm and helpful, particularly the buggy drivers. Given how sprawling the resort is, the buggy service turns out to be essential rather than a nice extra. Our concierge, Jorge, was on WhatsApp whenever we needed anything. As expected, dining on-site comes at a premium. We ate once at Tulecafe , the food was ok, but it was by far the priciest meal of our entire Costa Rica trip, and honestly not the standout dish of the holiday. Fortunately, plenty of restaurants are within walking distance. We particularly enjoyed Agua Azul and El Patio de Café Milagro, the latter serving what might be the best breakfast around. The private beach is a real highlight, offering complimentary sunbeds, boards, kayaks, and beachside food and drink service. Regarding accommodation: traveling as a family of three, the Tulemar villas were beyond our budget, so we booked a standard room

“Tulemar 2026”
+Our family’s time in Costa Rica truly unforgettable. Tulemar was the prefer setting for our multi-family, multi-generational get-together. It was clean, quiet and just plain beautiful. And of course, a big part of why our time was so unforgettable was because of Miguel our concierge. He answered all our questions - both before we arrived and while at Tulemar - and offered fantastic suggestions to help us make the most of our time in Manuel Antonio. Above all, he was exceptionally friendly and kind. Our week exploring Tulemar and Manuel Antonio is one that we will always remembers

“Not as good as it used to be”
+Sadly, Tulemar seems to be resting on its laurels. We just returned from our third stay and found that the property is becoming overbuilt and lacks the quiet intimacy that it once had. The resort has grown and has more conveniences which will be great for some travelers. There were a lot of families staying on the property and this is likely a good, convenient place to stay if you’re traveling with young children, given the many pools, restaurants and the easily accessible beach. Our concierge during our second visit in July 2024 was excellent; this time I heard from our concierge a couple of times through What’s App, once to ask if we wanted the room cleaned and an other asking if we needed anything. Maybe he was too busy helping the many families around us, but a more personal touch for three-time repeat guests would have been nice. Food from the TuleCafe was good and room service arrived quickly, although everything, including cocktails, arrives in to-go containers which feels a bit shabby. Margaritas tasted like they were made from commercial mixer rather than lime and Cointreau, and as mentioned arrived in plastic cups. After this stay we went on to the Osa Penninsula and stay

“Stunning Jungle Vacation”
+Tulemar exceeded all of our expectations. We were spoiled everyday by our concierge, Chris Madrigal and the maids that cared for our stunning house. The view was incredible overlooking the jungle and ocean. The resort has star fruit, coconut, and mango trees and the monkeys, and sloths were right on our porch. We also saw toucans, macaws, and parrots daily. It was truly a miraculous trip we will never forget. Thank you Tulemar!

“Paradise under siege”
+Just returned from our third visit to Tulemar and, unfortunately, it will be our last. The resort used to be a jungle paradise. But they've steadily been chipping away at the jungle to build more luxury villas and multi-unit buildings. Every one represents fewer trees and other vegetation for the monkeys and other animals. Each new building spoils, a little bit more, the magic of the place. They are Florida-izing Tulemar. It's reached a point where the exotic bird cries compete with construction noise. It doesn't help that general congestion in Manuel Antonio means you hear traffic from the patios of what once was a secluded get-away. Meanwhile, as the jungle is hollowed out, the number of loud young children has multiplied. The resort's service has also markedly declined. In prior years our concierges were beyond helpful in all sorts of ways. This time around, we never met our "concierge" until he managed to show up at check-out, expecting a tip for I-don't-know-what. Room service delivered margaritas without no discernible tequila included. The beach is still spectacular -- a picture-perfect cove without a building in sight. I can't imagine it will stay that way.

“Incredible Experience at Tulemar”
+Tulemar was the absolute perfect ending to an incredible week in Costa Rica! After several adventure-packed days in La Fortuna, we loved being able to slow down, relax, and just enjoy how beautiful this place is. The views from our villa were incredible, and one of the highlights was watching monkeys playing right from our balcony. Our kids loved it, and it was one of those experiences that just felt so uniquely Costa Rica. What really made our stay exceptional as well was our concierge, Miguel. He was so kind, attentive, accommodating, and genuinely thoughtful throughout our entire stay. He was always available to help with anything we needed and made everything feel easy. You could tell he truly cared about making our family's stay special, and he absolutely did. We absolutely loved Costa Rica, and Tulemar was a huge part of what made the trip so memorable. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. And if you're lucky enough to have Miguel as your concierge, you're in wonderful hands!
