The private beach at Tulemar is one of the many highlights of this amazing property. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality of the food available at the beach. A group of friends had Sunday brunch during our stay and I was amazed at the variety and quality of the menu. Also, Lou, the Food Service Manager at the... More

Thanks, Pat, for your review and comments on our Beach Bar and Grill, located at Tulemar! Lou and Paul really do a wonderful job with the food, but the fact that you're sitting under the palms with your feet in the sand makes it so special and unique for me! Very casual with great burgers, fish, salads and snacks; they... More

I picked this hotel based on the reviews and we were not disappointed. The views are spectacular. I think the best thing about this place is the private beach. The bungalows were a little outdated, but still very nice. I liked that we could walk from the hotel to a number of great restaurants. More

We spent 4 nights in Casa Panorama North with another couple in Feb-Mar 2012. We looked at a million pictures online and didn't think there was any way that it would meet our expectations, but it did. The house itself was beautiful. The view was breathtaking. We loved having the private beach too. When booking our trip, we couldn't decide... More

The title of this review says it all. Its beautiful, there's a breathtaking private beach, and the Costa Rican fruit is so fresh its almost criminal. At Tulemar, each family or group gets their own quaint little octagonal bungalow built into the hills overlooking the most beautiful view of the ocean in Costa Rica (arguably). Located in Manuel Antonio, an... More
