This is my third visit to the Tulemar resort in beautiful Manuel Antonio. This time we stayed in the lovely Casa Del Mar. It is a beautiful and spacious two bedroom villa. We had monkey visitors daily and had a birds-eye view. We were a bit surprised and disappointed by the loud construction noises nearby interrupting our relaxation on our balcony (and scaring away the wildlife). However, after mentioning it on that Tuesday, our concierge Javier, stopped by and offered to move us to Casa de las Frutas- another gorgeous villa with its own infinity pool. We spent the rest of our week relaxing there in and by the pool. We greatly enjoyed the wildlife and quiet. Javier was great and handled our every request with a smile! As always, the staff onsite was all pleasant and helpful. The meals we are at the restaurant onsite were delicious! We had a great time and are sure to visit again!…

1st class from start to finish. We had a car but only left the resort once. Once you get here you never need to leave. The wildlife was amazing and plentiful. We saw squirrel monkeys, white face monkeys, howler monkeys, iguana, scarlet macaw, toucan 3 toed sloth and other wildlife. Really beautiful place to stay. Our chef Jose and concierge Javier and his staff were great.

There’s a certain effectgranted to those living within, and surrounded by, pure mountain air. My stay at PazAmore in Tulemar was breathtaking…with ample oxygen replenishment. Gorgeous! Peaceful! Tranquil! Sedating…Welcoming! All of that and more accompanied me throughout my vacation. All of that IS Costa Rica au natural. PazAmore is snuggly nestled within this beautiful Tropical Forest scenery joined by monkeys, toucans, macaws, sloths and more with every variety of wild horticulture accenting my daily views. I want to especially thank our concierge,Raul, for his attention to detail while helped us fit right in. Thanks Raul for suggesting the Turtle Release. This was much more than a vacation. This was a living experience. That of which I have sponged internally. And there it will remain… until the next time.…

Clean and nice property. Spectacular views, lots of animal sitings, great pools, walking distance to eating places and beach. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. A wonderful, relaxing stay. None of us stayed in a 3 bedroom, 3 story bungalow.

My family visited Tulemar Resort in August of 2021, stayed at Sol Angelo and had the most fabulous experience! Ashley, our concierge, was the best! She was so attentive to every detail of our trip, set up an amazing, detailed itinerary for each day and checked in frequently. The staff at our home were conspicuous and hardworking. We would arrive home from our excursions each day to immaculately cleaned rooms, laundry cleaned and folded, beautiful arrangements of exotics flowers and various local treats. And the property and home were absolutely breathtaking! The views from our balcony at sunset, monkeys swinging from the trees right outside our home, macaws soaring every evening- It was an unbelievable experience. Make sure to hire the private chef to your villa- best meals we had our entire stay, for sure! Our family has traveled extensively and this was the best vacation we have had together by a long shot. We will be back very soon!…
