Stayed at Tulemar bungelows May 2013. Beautiful setting. Gorgeous, private, uncrowded beach. Inside the gated community is peaceful, beautiful and perfectly manicured property. Our bungelow was all glass-enclosed in the middle of the rainforest with views of the ocean. The employees were enthusiastic and made our stay very special. You feel far away from it all-and right outside the gates... More

We have now been home a week, letting our memories set in. We stayed in a one bedroom select villa, #303. It was closest to the water, but still a good hike any where.

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
