Wow. Huge well appointed villa. You feel like you are living in your own tree house in the jungle. Our concierge helped set up reservations for dinner and some excursions before we even left home. The jacuzzi on the balcony is amazing. We would finish our day with a beverage and a smile sitting in the tub while listening to all of the bird and frog sounds. The Tulemar grounds were well maintained and cared for but kept the feel of a natural setting instead of a traditional planned and planted resort. We saw howler and spider monkeys daily as well as sloths and many of the other animals that were on our list for the trip. The location of Salty Breeze is ideal. It is at the end of a path so people aren't walking by at all. The family pool is close to the villa which is get for convenience but far away enough that it was not intrusive. The beach is better than we expected. It had soft darkish sand with minimal rocks and a very natural feel. The jungle comes right up to the water. There was great food and drink service right at the beach. We would go out of our way to stay here again. Our only real criticism is that the couch in the living room is actually made from a mattress. This does add significant sleeping space for large groups but it is not particularly comfortable for sitting.

Place was beautiful and fit/slept our family of five very comfortably! We saw monkeys daily from the porch; they come ON the porch so had happy hour monkey shows-us viewing safely from the inside! Villa is well appointed with everything you need. Tulemar resort is gorgeous, and we loved the private beach! We were in MA to see animals, and by staying at Salty Breeze we got just that! It was perfect!

The whole property at Tulemar is an amazing resort with amazing nature, beaches and wildlife all around and the staff could not be more welcoming and helpful. Salty Breeze is a gorgeous unit, the huge double shower and swing couch on the deck being the highlights. Dani our concierge was excellent, so helpful and friendly she made our stay perfect. A special thanks to Evelyn who cleaned the house everyday and made every room beautiful ( every towel and napkin was folded into a wonderful creation every day). Without doubt the best most relaxing vacation ever. Cindy and Jeremy

We enjoyed all Tulemar had to offer and the proximity to Manuel Antonio park though we saw just as much wildlife at Tulemar! We especially loved watching monkeys jump from tree to tree. Villa is updated and everything supplied for you - one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. Daily housekeeping was great and having a concierge to help with anything was an added bonus. We enjoyed several restaurants in the area as well as a couple of excursions. This villa is a gem within Tulemar!

The villa was gorgeous - even better than the pictures. We had 3 different species of monkeys visit us on our balcony during our stay - the white faced monkeys made themselves at home on the balcony and even took a dip in the hot tub. We also saw 2 sloth in the trees right outside our balcony. Communication with the owner was prompt! Our concierge Dani helped us book all of our tours and made us dinner reservations, including order us a cab to the restaurant when needed. She also got us groceries during f out stay. Make sure to bring enough cash to cover groceries - otherwise paying for them is a bit complicated. The resort is gorgeous - the villa is right by the family pool so easy access. It is very private despite the close proximity. We are at both restaurants and they were great. Loved our stay!!!

Salty Breeze is a great villa in a great location. The views from the deck are gorgeous and we loved the multiple daily visits from the monkeys. The space was great for our group and the game console and washer/dryer were huge bonuses. Located right next to the family pool and close to the cafe pool as well, the location within Tulemar is great.

This week was all I’d hoped for and more! The property, Salty Breeze is exactly as described but better! It’s clean, spacious and the views are gorgeous. Monkeys visiting our deck daily was only the beginning of the wildlife on property. We saw sloths, huge iguanas, 3 kinds of monkeys and macaws. It was dreamy! Thanks so much to Dania for all of her help in booking excursions, taxis, dinner reservations and grabbing us some groceries. She was the best! Everyone on property was so fun and kind-Costa Rica you have my heart.

This is one of the most beautiful properties we have ever stayed. The views from the balcony were amazing. The children loved seeing the monkeys visit us each day. The property was very clean and housekeeping did a terrific job each day. Having a concierge was also so helpful and took a lot of the stress away when it comes to booking dinners and activities. We would come back for sure!

Loved Salty Breeze. Great location and the folks at Tulemar are fantastic. Monkeys stopped by twice a day, the White Face monkeys love getting in the hot tube. Shout out to Dani for all of her help.

We spent 5 days at the Salty Breeze property - first-class experience from booking through preparing for the trip / booking excursions at preferred times (thank you Andres for everything!) through arrival and stay. Property itself is spacious with multiple bedrooms and room for large family. All of the reviews are true - we saw monkey troops coming through multiple times per day, saw beautiful birds and sloths, etc. (all from our deck or walking to the pool(s)). Great stay and hope to come back sometime!

My family of four very much enjoyed our stay at Salty Breeze. The views were amazing, the property was beautiful and the location was excellent for walking to some great restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at Tulemar. The house/view and surrounding nature were beautiful. My husband and I brought our two teen daughters and a friend. More then enough room and the house was well appointed. We had chef Christopher one night, who made a gourmet meal with plenty of leftovers plus groceries. Dani and Andres made great recommendations for activities and local restaurants. Our favorite was the beach trip and waterfall jumping with Danny at TicoTrekking. It was much more intimate than typical group adventure Tours. I can’t wait to return!

The Salty Reese property in Tulemar resort was the perfect property for our first trip to Costa Rica! Beautiful views, clean and plenty of space!

We love Tulemar, and Salty Breeze was great for my families needs. Our favorite part was the daily visits from the monkeys. We would definitely stay here again!

Our party had a wonderful time at Tulemar in Salty Breeze. The property was as shown in photos, super clean, comfortable and the views were amazing. We made use of the shuttle to and from the beach as well as the beachside food and drink service. We had a wonderful time and hope to return.

Amazing view and we especially enjoyed the monkey visitors on the balcony each AM. The “outdoor showers” were very spa like. Highly recommend.

We had a great time here! Location is perfect for being with nature. Spacious home with all the amenities. Loved having daily maid service. Kids loved gaming console. Thanks for hosting us!

Great experience. House and resort were fantastic. Monkeys on the balcony every afternoon. Would love to come back again.

This was our 3rd trip to Tulemar and our first stay at Salty Breeze. Our party of 8 loved our stay- we swam in the ocean and enjoyed the private beach, swam in the pools, watched the sunset in the pool with amazing drinks from Juan, sat in the jacuzzi on the deck, watched monkeys on the deck each morning and found a sloth with her baby nearby. Salty Breeze had everything our party of 8 needed for a fun weekend- a fully stocked kitchen, bathroom and pool towels, extra bedding, a cool gaming system for the kids, and a washer & dryer! We were woken by monkeys on the deck each morning. We were warned to lock the doors, and it’s good we listened or they would have been inside- we watched them try the door handles. Jose was amazing!! He was very responsive leading up to and during our stay. He organized reservations, taxis, found our lost keys and organized a birthday surprise for our party. Jose, you’re the best! We highly recommend this rental and hope to return soon!

The property is beautiful - gorgeous beach, close to activities, incredible wildlife sitings. The house manager Jose Serrano was superb - super knowledgeable and helpful.

Tulemar was an amazing place to stay, especially for our very first trip to Costa Rica. You can't beat the location and easy access to the beach, on-site and off-site restaurants, and so much wildlife! Salty Breeze was a delightful home to rent - monkeys (capuchin & squirrel) came through at least daily (sometimes more) and were so entertaining to watch - even right on our balcony! Jose did an outstanding job arranging all of our transportation and tours, and housekeeping made everything nice inside each day. We felt so well-cared for in a truly amazing place. Our only tip is that if you're going to have someone sleep on the extra beds in the living room space, have them bring a sleep mask - it's pretty light in there and we couldn't get all of the blinds to come down. But otherwise, our stay was spectacular in every way. Thank you so much!

We absolutely loved this bungalow in Tulemar, and we would definitely go back. The best part hands down is the balcony with jetted tub, swing and view!! We were visited by two different kinds of monkeys. Housekeeping came every day upon request and did an amazing job. Our concierge was a gem! Minor downsides: The furniture in the living room is essentially a bed, though comfortable and great for having extra guests, it was an odd setup for four people. Loved the outdoor (screened in) rain showers but wish the toilet were inside with the rest of the bathroom. I found myself using the half bath upstairs most of the time. Would highly recommend new bedroom doors that stay open and do not sound like prison doors when they slam shut! I would definitely come back to this bungalow when traveling with more people as it would sleep another 3 people upstairs comfortably!

My family and I fell in love with the Salty Breeze. We were 6 in total - my wife and I, my two daughters and their boyfriends. The villa was simply beautiful! The villa was spacious, beautifully decorated, and kept very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The wildlife! We saw so many animals from our balcony. The white faced capuchins came twice a day, little squirrel monkeys came a few times, and we saw a troop of howlers (at least 20) come by swinging in the trees single file - some with babies. We saw a coati. Also, gorgeous birds including toucans, parrots, mot mots, and hummingbirds. We saw a lot of sloths walking around the resort. Jose, our concierge, was great! So helpful and went over and beyond a typical concierge duties. He recommended and arranged some amazing tours. He also arranged for a personal chef for dinner one night which I highly recommend. We would go back in a heartbeat! Highly recommend the Salty Breeze!

This place is incredible!! The house feels isolated from the rest of the property with lists of privacy. The house is beautiful with daily visits of white faced monkeys. Andrés was super friendly and helpful with anything we needed. I can’t say enough about this place, can’t wait to go back

My wife and I took our 5 kids (ages 12 to 21) to Costa Rica for a week long vacation. We had an amazing stay at Salty Breeze! The house was clean, well stocked, and had amazing views of the surrounding rain forest and ocean. We loved the unique design of the house. It is an octagon shape with high end stone, granite and wood finishes throughout. We especially liked the open air stone showers and the wood beam ceiling. The upper balcony has views of the ocean over the forest canopy and the lower balcony has views into the lush forest. We saw monkeys every day. My kids have hours of video of up to 4 capuchin monkeys at a time wrestling on the hanging bench, playing in the hot tub, running along the glass railing, knocking over chairs at the table, and jumping from tree to tree. The kids enjoyed the game console whenever they had down time waiting for a shower. The beds were comfortable enough that I did not long for my bed at home. This property is also part of the Tulemar resort with all of its amenities. There are no words to express how beautiful the resort grounds are! There is a short path to the family infinity pool and it is a short walk or shuttle ride to the beach. The beach is Tulemar resort's private beach where you can sit at tables just under the forest canopy or staff will setup up chairs and umbrellas on the beach for you. You can order drinks (we loved the fruit smoothies) or food from the restaurant. There are boogie boards and kayaks to use as you wish. The house has a large capacity Samsung washer and dryer which was nice to wash and dry swimsuits or cloths after getting rained on (they don't dry by simply hanging them in Costa Rica). One of the best features of this rental was Jose, our personal assistant. From the day we booked the property months before our stay until the day we checked out, Jose was in constant communication with us answering questions about the area, the weather, providing recommendations for excursions, making excursion and dinner reservations, arranging on site COVID tests and so much more. He was quickly on site anytime we needed assistance during our stay as well. John, the owner was great to work with and was very accommodating when we decided to add a day to our stay. I cannot say enough about our stay at Salty Breeze, the friendly staff who were always excited to see us, John, and especially Jose. This was an experience we will never forget. Book Salty Breeze, you will not regret it!!!!

Salty Breeze was a phenomenal rental! It was even more spacious and beautiful than in the pictures. Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The inside was immaculate and housekeeping came every day to make our beds and tidy up. Tulemar was an excellent location. There was so much wildlife on the property. We saw three different kinds of monkeys: howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and white faced monkeys. The white face monkeys were highly entertaining and they visited us at least once a day to swing on the swing, throw the pillows around the deck, and sample the hot tub. If you stay in salty breeze make sure you do the sloth walk with the sloth institute. We saw at least nine sloths on our walk and so much else. Amanda, our guide, was extremely informative about all the animals in the area. Seeing scarlet macaws in the wild was breathtaking. A big thank you to John and Jose for making our stay so wonderful! We will be back!

Villa perfecta. Ubicación perfecta. José nuestro contacto perfecto. Volveríamos encantados.

Great stay at Tulemar Garden’s Salty Breeze! Perfect accommodations. Jose was wonderful, booking excursions, taking us to the Farmer’s market, picking up my daughter who came later and to COVID testing. He helped with any issues quickly. Would definitely recommend and hope to return!

Perfect location, perfect for families, just fantastic! John and Jose made our vacation simple and easy. Jose took care of everything for us while there. The property is spot on, perfect location, safe, all the amenities, etc. Will definitely be back!

Salty breeze at Tulemar is by far one of the best places we have stayed. The property and service was truly 5 star, the house was beautiful, showers awesome, the property and grounds gorgeous, private and lush. Jose our host/concierge, was the best we have had, communication great! Responsiveness and knowledge perfect. During our stay the rental car got a flat so we reached out to Jose to ask for some help, 15 minutes later he was there to take care of it, NO JOKE! He said give me the keys you guys enjoy yourself, I will take care of it. Like magic it was done! We can’t thank him enough. The grounds of Tulemar are well cared for very tropical with lots of wildlife buzzing around. The beach is private and beautiful, the pools and Tulemar restaurants very clean and great good. perfect location for walking to many other restaurants bars and markets. Jose thank you! We will see you again.

Salty Breeze is a must rent!! You won't find a better 2 bed/2.5 bath rental property in the area. The villa is spacious, immaculately clean, stocked with upgrades, comfortable furniture, good AC, fast Wifi, a modern kitchen, baths with outdoor rain showers and a beautiful deck overlooking the coast and the lush rain forest of the Tulemar resort. If you aren't familiar with Tulemar, its been ranked in the Top 3 resorts worldwide on TripAdvisor for the last 3 years and it's nothing short of a magical. Tulemar is a 33-acre exclusive, guard gated resort where Scarlet Macaws and Toucans soar though lush green jungle, sloths can be found on trees right outside your villa and 3 species of monkeys jump from branch to branch throughout the property. Tulemar has a private beautiful beach with attendants, lounge chairs, umbrellas and body boards for your use and the most helpful, lovely staff throughout. There is a wonderful restaurant on site (Tulecafe) and many other dinning choices in easy walking distance. But what makes this villa stand above the rest is Jose - the complimentary villa concierge who is more like a family member and who will help make your stay the best vacation possible. He is the kindest, most hard working concierge I have ever encountered. Jose will go above and beyond for your family and he's a native to the area so his advice is invaluable. He will book dinning reservations and excursions (we repelled down a 100 foot waterfall which was amazing), he will assist with groceries, transportation or whatever you need with a genuine smile. He even arranged for our family to participate in releasing 100 newly-hatched, endangered sea turtles into the ocean which was an experience my kids will never forget. John, the owner, is also wonderful. I sincerely believe he will do whatever is humanly possible to make sure you enjoy your stay and are fully satisfied. We are so grateful for the hard work he and Jose put in to make sure we were able to relax during Covid-19, and we felt very safe with the precautions taken on the property, as the villa and resort were very clean and all staff wore masks and encouraged social distancing.We are a well traveled family and rarely do we return to the same location, but we've been to Tulemar twice in 2 years and we can't wait to return to Salty Breeze!! Trust me and book it now before its gone. Thanks John and Jose - we will be back soon!!!
