Property is awesome especially for wildlife viewing. Monkeys and sloths right outside our doors. Property is extremely large so be prepared but the shuttles are convenient. Private Chef in our room was a highlight for us.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The Tulemar Resort is essentially a few rooms and villas within a much bigger resort and the grounds are outstanding - essentially within the rainforest and very private with lovely balconies from which we saw monkeys, iguanas and hummingbirds. The rooms themselves are slightly dated, as is the reception area so that gives a somewhat underwhelming first impression, however we ended up loving it here because of the views, the private beach and the pools. The resort is very large and so the golf buggy/van service is handy. They run a concierge system which is a little uncomfortable (I'm pretty sure it's all on commission) but to be fair there was no hard sell. We would stay again.

Miguel our concierge was great from the time he was assigned to us, from preparing our trip itinerary developed by our interest to transportation to and from airport , getting groceries, cleaning timing of our unit and more. I can’t say enough. We had a party of 8 and were always accommodated with ease. All staff were amazing and eager to help with anything asked of them. Even a 9pm call due to drier not heating. The restaurants on grounds always pleased even to our pickiest of eaters, he loved, loved, loved the breakfast French toast. This place is great to spot wildlife. We experienced monkeys playing on our back porch, the kids laughed for 30minutes one evening at a group of 5 white face monkeys. On the property we saw 3 different kinds of monkeys; whiteface, squirrel and holler. Tulemar also has sloth and I can’t explain the excitement to spot one. Tulemar is a great location to enjoy many adventures on and off property. There is also a private beach that is quite quant until the tide comes in. Getting there is a hike so taking grounds shuttle is a must. We would definitely pick Tulemar again!!

The staff was friendly and accommodating. They were able to line up excursions and transportation with little notice. They helped us find wildlife, picked us up when we got lost exploring the resort. Have several options for pools that all have perks. TuleCasa was a beautiful spacious room, but i wish we would have been nestled into the resort. This room is off the road above the guest service area.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

The place is absolutely amazing. It’s like staying in a zoo. Saw monkeys, sloths and macaws from our window and a monkey on our deck. Beach is amazing, pools are great, and staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Honestly, we weren’t that amazed by the park after staying at Tulemar because there was so much wildlife and such beautiful grounds. Would give it more than 5 stars if possible. Probably the most beat resort we’ve ever stayed at!

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!

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...

Lovely resort but let down by poor service. Gorgeous surroundings but not 5 * service. Check in unimpressive and made to feel second class. They rushed off and then made us wait. To be fair they knocked stuff off bill when we complained at check out. Would be helpful to be shown around when checking in. Great beach. Great nature. Good restaurants nearby.

Amazing!! It is everything you can ask for!!

This was our family dream trip. We splurged and went to Tulemar and it did not disappoint in the least. Awesome facility. Clean rooms. Amazing nature setting. Saw sloths, monkeys, macaws, toucans and many other animals on site. Beach was beautiful. Service was top notch. Shuttle service was quick. Concierge, drivers, restaurant staff, everyone was top notch! If you go, ask your concierge to do the on site Sloth Walk, which takes you through the property to look for sloths and other animals. It was a great tour, that was economical and informative.

The best!!

Amazing property with attention to every detail. Loved having our own concierge to help with questions. Service to the beach was helpful and appreciated. Loved the restaurant by the pool and especially the pool. The sloth tour was incredible that is why we stayed at Tulemar. Loved all the monkeys as well. Stay minimum 3 days to see wildlife and enjoy the beach. We were warned that our room was by the street and was noisy. But it was very noisy with motorcycles. But they stopped around 10:30. Other than that small negative everything was incredible. Nicest place we have ever stayed and can’t wait to go back.

We loved our stay in Luxury Standard Room 209 at Tulemar. We saw squirrel monkeys daily from our balcony, and toucans, sloths, scarlet macaws, leaf-cutter ants, frogs, bats, and iguanas on the grounds also. The private beach was never crowded, and we appreciated the complimentary umbrellas and chairs, as well as the ability to order food and drinks from Tule Cafe while on the beach. The Sloth Walk with Pedro was great - we saw at least 10. The food at Tule Cafe was very good - we had breakfast, the bbq burger, and the pulled pork taquitos - all great. We had a rental car and could easily park at the base of our room's walkway (about 4-5 free parking spaces by each area). We never needed the shuttles, as we either took our own car or walked on the grounds. The staff were alway so nice too. A wonderful stay.

Cannot wait to go back!

Tulenar Resort exceeded my expectations. It was a great resort to conclude our amazing trip to Costa Rica in. Our ocean view bungalow had monkeys outside of it every day. We were right next to the cafe where the mommy sloth, Harriet and her baby happened to be residing while we were there. During one of the thunder storms the howler monkeys howled with the thunder while we were outside under the trees... Just outside of our bungalow. My family and I also did the ATV excursion and Night Jungle Tour, both which we highly recommend. The ATV one was particularly fun because we got to swim in a waterfall during the middle of it. The shuttle to their private beach is easy and convenient. They literally pick up and drop you off where you are staying. They also provide beech towels, lounge chairs, umbrellas, body boards, sand toys etc. Plus you can order food! We absolutely cannot wait to go back!! I miss Tulenar already.
