Monkitail at Tulemar

Let me start with this. We have been to a lot of nice places, but Tulemar is beyond the best we have visited! We stayed at Mirazul (a villa within Tulemar), and our VIP Concierge was Brian (pictured below). From the second we arrived, in the transport that they arranged for us from the San Jose area to the Villa itself, Brian and the staff were SO amazing- greeting us with cool towels and freshly squeezed cold drinks (while they whisked in our luggage). The villa was perfect in every way, from the indoor to the outdoor space. They said there was a bit of construction going on nearby, but to be honest, we didn't hear it at all. I was expecting to do laundry at some point during vacation, but the staff did it for our family of 6 every single day...perfectly folded and separated into each bedroom. We also did the chef service for two nights, one of which was my son's birthday. They sang happy bday to him in English and Spanish, taught us some key words and phrases, and literally made food to die for! So, if you are tempted to do the chef service, go for it! My only regret is that we didn't do it more! While we were there, we did the bird watching tour, Sloth Walk, Zip lining, waterfall tour and nighttime Paddleboarding with cool lights. All of which were arranged by Brian, including dinner reservations on the non-chef nights. There was a daily itinerary on the table downstairs, which was so helpful to keep track of our very active getaway. But honestly, while we were active, we all felt truly pampered and appreciative for Brian, the rest of the staff, and Tulemar in general. So friendly and safe, and I can't believe how rested I was to return to the daily grind in NJ! Of note, being a nurse, I really liked/appreciated that everyone there was very aware of my sons very serious sesame/soy allergy. Back to the property... the shuttle service to and from the beach was so convenient. The beach was gorgeous and secluded, and the water temp was like bathwater. I am very spoiled now. If the shuttle wasn't around, Brian gave me his cell and was there 24/7 for us. He actually ended up taking our (adult) kids to the beach in the golf cart a couple days! So, I obviously highly recommend Tulemar, Brian, and the VIP Concierge Service. I hope this review was helpful! And if you go there, you will hear this a lot...PURA VIDA!

An amazing place with a beautiful warm beach, gorgeous sunsets and all kinds of jungle wildlife!!! A fantastic concierge and a daily maid service! Comfortable beds , a full kitchen and a wonderful experience!!! Our Villa was breathtaking!! The only negative was because of the water running through, there was a little bit of a musty smell from the dampness!!

We recently stayed at Casa de Frutas with friends. The house is more beautiful than photos can show. The grounds of the entire place are amazing, the wildlife incredible to watch, and the staff of the house were phenomenal. Chris was our concierge and could not have been more helpful. He arranged every single thing for us each day. He brought us little surprises each day and catered to our every need. Yadi, Oscar and Tony were also amazing and took care of the house and property with extreme detail. The pool at this house is gorgeous and so relaxing! The Tule Cafe has great food! I can’t recommend this property enough! Take the trip!
