  What an experience! The view is world class. The casa is absolutely wonderful. The jungle trails to and from the beach are great. The private beach and grill are fantastic. And our hosts were incredible. Mauricio, Dave and Loraina made our stay so easy. Mauricio arranged all of our excursions (canopy tour, white water rafting, jet skiing, Manuel Antonio), dinner reservations, airport transportation, and rental car. All seven of us (ages 52, 50, 22, 22, 21, 20 and 14) had the most wonderful time and will definitely be back!

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

  My family and I just returned from 10 days in Tulemar. I must say, it was one of the best vacations we have ever had. The house we stayed in Casa de Frutas was truly magical, the beaches were beautiful and pristine, and our days were filled with joy and relaxation. Dave and Mauricio took care of everything, from adventure activities to dinner reservations. I only wish Mauricio could come back to LA and take care of us here! My family has made me promise to return to Tulemar, and I can't wait to go back myself.

  I'm not sure I can even describe how amazing the views are...from the moment we walked in the door I was blown away, the pictures don't do justice to how absolutely gorgeous everything is. I would give more than 5 stars if available. My husband and I traveled with 2 other couples to Casa De Frutas. When we arrived we were greeted by Dave and his staff, I've never felt so welcome and appreciated. The service was outstanding, Mauricio was amazing..he helped us prepare for our trip before we even left the states. We booked about a year in advance, he kept in contact with us and sent helpful info on Costa Rica & available activities. After we arrived he and Julien kept track of everything for us! The amenities are fabulous. We took advantage of the adult pool, massages by the pool and in our home, in home chef two of the nights we stayed (delicious!!!) the beach is also close a few min walk or take the complementary shuttle. I took advantage of the photography lesson, it was wonderful and Sarah was so nice and helpful! (thanks Sarah!) The girls on the trip also had a private yoga session (thanks Sylvia). Others did deep sea diving, fishing, zip-lining, tons of stuff to do. We visited a few shops, and tried many of the recommended restaurants. The house is absolutely amazing! Truly 5 star, one of a kind, beautiful...it also has its own pool which we took advantage of the entire week. The beds are wonderful, tons of space, styled perfect, gorgeous flowers throughout, however, truly the most amazing thing of all is the view...I can't say enough...its breathtaking! Loved being able to watch all the wildlife, especially the monkeys..I miss them already :) I can't wait to return, and have nothing but great things to say! Stayed March 2013, traveled with friends

  We had the most amazing stay at Tulemar. We specifically stayed in the Casa De Frutas Villa which was spectacular! The location was perfect; easy access to the various pools, private beach, and walking distance to other restaurants and shops in Manuel Antonio. The complimentary shuttle service served us very well getting back and forth to the beach as well as around the complex. There is wildlife and natural beauty everywhere!! It is truly the most beautiful place. The staff was absolutely amazing. Helpful, knowledgeable, and would go out of their way to make our stay more comfortable, relaxing, and fun. Mauricio, Fabian, Eduardo, Jose, Christian, Mayella, and Sandra made our trip fabulous. This was an incredible place to stay. I highly recommend staying here!!!! Stayed December 2012

  Casa de Frutas was absolutely perfect. The house Is gorgeous and there is nothing you could possibly need that has not already been thought of and provided for. Mauricio is a wonderful host and the rest of the staff could not be nicer. A first-class week in every respect.

  So I just went back to Costa Rica the last week in Oct through the first week of Nov with 4 other fiends. Another awesome experience. The first day we got there we had a Sloth right outside the balcony sitting on the very top of the tree just staring into the sunset.There were a lot more monkeys this time around. This would be my 2nd time staying at Casa De Frutas in Tulemar within a year. That's how wonderful of a place it really is. If its your first time traveling to Costa Rica I would recommend this place by far. If its not, I still recommend it. Its a gated community with 24 hr security, the BEST hosts and housekeepers anyone could ask for while on vacation. How many places do you know of that welcome you at the door in person, offer you just about anything you need, plan all your excursions even do laundry everyday and have it folded on your bed? You can literally show up with no itinerary and with the help of Dave and Mauricio you can have your week planned out within no time. Of course I can't forget to mention the private beach available for those staying in Tulemar. Its a small quiet beach which includes a beach bar AWESOME food, kayaks, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, towels, restrooms and just an all around amazing atmosphere. Right outside the Tulemar community are lots of restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance or a short trip via taxi. You won't find much of locals begging for change in this area at all. Everyone pretty much keeps to themselves and goes along their daily business. My experience with the locals is they have all been very nice and polite. Its not often where you can have almost a full open air home where you can capture some of the most amazing sunsets you will ever experience right from the house. Not only that but lightening storms as well. Thanks again Dave, Mauricio, and the rest of the staff!!! and of course thanks to Daniela and Lou for making our beach time a wonderful experience and great conversation.

  From the friendly staff when you book your trip to the bar tender at the beach, the staff at Tulemar are amazing! I spent 7 days with four other friends at Casa De Frutas and had the most relaxing trip ever! From the minute you are greeted by the staff at the house and walk through the door and see the most amazing view of the ocean you know you are in for a awesome trip. The amenities and detail to the property are that of a 5 star resort. The private beach in Tulemar is breathtaking. The food and drinks at the beach restaurant are sooo good! If your looking for a trip to paradise, look no further!!

  Made our third trip to Costa Rica in the past 18 months in September. As with the first two trips, it was fantastic. All three times we have stayed in Tulemar, but this time was extra special because we stayed at Casa de Frutas. Wow! We stayed in Casa Panorama the first two times and we thoroughly enjoyed it, but Casa de Frutas was a cut above. We stayed with another couple and a solo traveler. The other couple was celebrating a special anniversary and they stayed in the master bedroom. What a great place to celebrate a special occasion. The downstairs bedrooms are truly suites. Private patios, efficiency kitchens, dining area, all with a view of the Pacific. I don't want to forget to mention our concierge, Mauricio. He is fantastic. He arranges all excursions for you, makes reservations for dinner and can arrange all sorts of unique activities, like a lunch out in a palm orchard. He even brought warm homemade brownies by one afternoon. Also, our host, Dave was amazing. He knows everything about the area and whatever he recommends that you do while here, you should definitely do it. He won't steer you wrong! If you are heading down to Manuel Antonio check this place out! Stayed September 2012

  Casa de Frutas, Costa Rica If I had to be brief, spectacular would be my word of choice. However, Manuel Antonio, Tulemar, and especially Casa de Frutas deserve so much more than brevity. If you want to enhance your life simply go to Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica and stay in a Tulemar vacation home . If you want to have an exceptional life experience, stay at Casa de Frutas, in Tulemar. These three words, Casa de Frutas, are all you need to know to guarantee a great vacation experience. If you like that “wow” feeling, merely open the front doors of Casa de Frutas during daylight hours, the views are breathtaking. The attention to design, style and detail by the owner David are just as impressive as the views .The house staff are friendly and very accommodating. The fresh cut flowers tastefully display throughout the house is a touch of class you will enjoy daily. Then there is the intangible aspect. That would be the domain of Mauricio, master concierge. Whether it is telling you the best places for dinning, setting up a great masseuse or sharing a Costa Rican cultural tidbit, having access to Mauricio drops another 5 points on your stress-o-meter. Which at this point should be around 1. And that’s only because you still have to decide what to wear each day…swim suit or cargo pants. Indulge yourself, it’s your vacation
