We shared this magnificent home with another family in April. Garden House was perfect for the adults, perfect for the children and made our escape from the cold north something remarkable and special. The four children (range 10-14) each commented they would rather return to Tulemar than go to Disney, Atlantis in the Bahamas, or a cruise. The kids have... More

When we booked at Tulemar,only the bungalows without decks were available, except for one unit that far exceeded our finances. So based on the website photos and descriptions, we held our breath and opted for one of those older bungalows. "Older" meant that first built had the choicest locations, so we were at the top of the hill on which... More

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Tulemar. Dave and Mauricio are incredible!! Everything was excellent - every recommendation, all aspects of customer service, and of course, the accommodations. I would not hesitate to refer any of my friends to Tulemar and would definitely do it again.

So relaxing and I needed it. Walking through the front doors and seeing the breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean was just what the doctor ordered.

What a way to end our visit to Costa Rica. Incredible views, warm welcoming staff. Especially Orlando, who provided us with so much local information about where to eat, where to shop and other fun local knowledge. The villa was nice, a little older than I had imagined, but the property was breath-taking. Lots of Monkeys, sloths, beautiful tropical birds.... More
