We booked our stay at Tulemar online and you never really know what to expect. We were not disappointed. Chris sent us an email right away with details about our arrival and the services that are offered there. The bungalow was clean, private, spacious and unique. The grounds were impeccable, filled with sloths, monkeys and star fruit trees. Chris was... 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. It was all we hoped and better as far as the villa. But next door is a BIG white Obtrusive house, and the outside lights were... More

After looking online for a place to stay for a week long vacation in April, we stumbled upon Tulemar's website. We needed more information, so we called Dave directly and he helped us choose the perfect villa with an amazing view.

We shared this magnificent home with another family in April. Garden House was perfect for the adults, perfect for the children and made our escape from the cold north something remarkable and special. The four children (range 10-14) each commented they would rather return to Tulemar than go to Disney, Atlantis in the Bahamas, or a cruise. The kids have... More

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

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Tulemar. Dave and Mauricio are incredible!! Everything was excellent - every recommendation, all aspects of customer service, and of course, the accommodations. I would not hesitate to refer any of my friends to Tulemar and would definitely do it again.
