Because there were 3 of us, we opted for Casa Panorama, a two story, two-bedroom/two-bath villa at Tulemar Gardens. It was perfect! Our concierge, Kimberly Barron, was totally outgoing and helpful.. one of the kind of people you want to be friends with. The view was spectacular, the beach lovely, and the kayaks and boogyboards and beachchairs are free. You... More

7 of us recently spent 7 nights at Casa De Frutas in Tulemar and I would definitely recommend it to any group of friends or family. We walked into a beautiful 2 story home in a jungle like setting over looking the pacific ocean. The home was beautifully decorated with live tropical flowers, had all the amenities you would have...

We stayed at the bungalows for three nights. First of all, our concierge, Chris, went above and beyond. When we arrived at the airport, he picked us up, took us around town to show us the local sites, went shopping for food with us, took us on a 40 minute tour of the property, and then helped us take the...

Recently spent 3 nights staying at the Tulemar Bungalows and I would definitely recommend to all. The property itself is built into the natural surroundings and maintains the feel of being in the rain forest while providing the amenities of an upscale resort. During our 3 days there we saw multiple monkey species, snakes, 2 and 3 toed sloths as... More

We stayed in the Tulemar Bungalows at the end of March 2012. They were delightful in every way. My husband and I and two children shared one bungalow and there was plenty of room. It was great to have a mini kitchen for fixing quick meals for the kids and snacks. The views were breathtaking and we felt like we... More

We spent spring break at Tulemar, in Casa Panorama South. It was pretty close to a perfect vacation for our group of 8; two families with 4 kids ages 3-13. There was something for everyone to do, from the pool (including a small one for the littlest kids) which was conveniently located just across from our house, to the wonderful... 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!
