Great property with unbelievable wildlife.

We were a family of 4 staying in salty breeze over spring break and it was magical. We saw SO many monkeys just from the balcony and lots of other wildlife, including sloths, just walking around the beautiful resort. The unit itself was very well appointed and had more space than we needed. Fabion, the concierge, was absolutely wonderful and handled every little thing for us from shuttles, to excursions to dining reservations and even pizza delivery one night! The beach, pools and resort grounds all exceeded our expectations as well. Overall I highly recommend both Tulemar and Salty Breeze!

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.

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.

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 is a wonderful property in a spectacular location inside Tulemar. Communication between John was fast and helpful. We enjoyed our time here, and saw many animals including a sloth on our front porch and monkeys that visited each day. The beach is beautiful and private, and the kids loved the waves for playing and surfing. Everything is ready for you to enjoy a relaxing vacation. Thank you, John for sharing your beautiful home with us. We made many memories.

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!

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!

Great Unit, great location within Tulemar Resort. 5 star The only con to Salty Breeze were the beds. There is a 1' board that sticks out from the bed that is Very uncomfortable to get in & out of the bed & the mattresses sloped to the outside. No place to put luggage, except the floor. Needs dresser &/or 2+ luggage racks. Fabian, concierge, was the best, Always responsive and knowledgeable.

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

The positives: Tulemar resort is gorgeous and worth every penny. Our concierge was very responsive and accommodating. The Salty Breeze has very nice views and is well located. We loved the 4 beds, the washing machine, the a/c, the hot tub (awesome!) , the porch… but for the price, I guess we expected more. There were some negatives: dead bugs on the tile and three separate hair dust bunnies on the stairs and in the bathroom. The kitchen was not as stocked as we’d expected. The video game machine didn’t work. When you spend that much money, you expect more little niceties like lots of plush towels (not one per person), nice toiletries, maybe some handsoap or dish soap in the kitchen, or a pair of binoculars to use. There weren’t any extra touches that we’ve seen in other VRBO’s at this price point. Don’t get me wrong - it was nice and we enjoyed our time there. But my feedback for the property is that for the price we paid, we just expected a little more. Location alone does not warrant exorbitant prices.

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!

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.

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!!!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.
