Tulemar was absolutely amazing. 10/10 would and will return.
The Great:
- Rooms and Views of Ocean are all amazing. Felt like paradise.
- The staff and especially concierge are all friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful
- Mini-National park vibes. We saw more animals at Tulemar (Many sloth, tons of Monkeys, Macaw, Toucan, etc) than on our park tours.
- Golf cart service anyone on property or immediate surrounding area
- Beautiful Private Beach with restaurant and drink service, towels, etc.
The Good:
- Tule cafe some of the best food in the area. Definitely not cheap, but compared to other resort restaurants it was towards the top. I recommend Namaste, Monarca, and Naganta for offsite options.
- If you want to go somewhere offsite further than the carts allow, they’ll default book you a cab. Make sure you say you don’t need one and just Uber, it’s 5x cheaper.
The Bad
- Nothing in this category, truly. But there are some warnings:
1) Even with golf cart service, some properties (like ours) are still a decent 5-10 min walk to the cart path. The property is VERY hilly and built on side of a mountain - so expect a mini workout every day.
2) Don’t feel limited to the tour/activity options they offer. Explore options through Expedia and Viator- compare prices and reviews, there’s more elevated experiences out there.
Overall, for a relaxing and carefree trip to a tropical paradise, don’t look much further than Tulemar. We had an amazing honeymoon and will return.
