Really good Culinary Delights

The food at Tulemar Cafe was absolutely amazing! I indulged in the best grilled mahi fish sandwich I've ever had, and every meal was not only flavorful but beautifully presented. The variety in the menu ensures there is something for everyone, making it a good dining experience. Even a casual lunch by the beach was made special by the attentiveness of the staff. I can still taste those delicious nachos that were a hit with my whole family!

Stunning Bungalow Experience

Staying in our bungalow at Tulemar was like living in a luxurious treehouse! The views from our octagon-shaped room were amazing and the accommodations felt both rustic and upscale. Every morning, we were greeted by the sounds of howler monkeys and birds while enjoying coffee on our spacious balcony. The room was equipped with a full kitchen, allowing us to prepare meals whenever we wanted. It was spacious enough for our entire family to relax comfortably.

Active Adventure Awaits

Tulemar offers a fantastic range of activities right on the hotel. We enjoyed boogie boarding on the beach and even got to participate in a hiking adventure in the nearby lush rainforest. The pools were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration. There was so much wildlife to see while enjoying our adventures - monkeys and sloths were a common sight. It made our experience feel invigorating and refreshing!

Relaxing after a day of adventure was a breeze with such a well-appointed space!
