8 of us were in a 3 story villa and it was plenty big enough. I will forever be comparing other beaches to the beach that this property has. Loved that it has full beach services of food, drinks, snorkel gear, kayaks, chairs, umbrellas, towels, and water toys and no tipping allowed! Great lunch food at the cafe there too.... More

I can't imagine a better view than we had at our villa (#204). I could have sat on the terrace for hours looking at the ocean- there's very little that's more relaxing. We also had the villa pool pretty much to ourselves the entire time, which was amazing! Overall I would highly recommend Buena Vista for what we wanted, which... More

We took grandsons, ages 8 and 9, on an adventure to Costa Rica in April for their spring break. We stayed in one of the most beautiful places...Buena Vista Luxury Villas. We were thrilled with all the wonderful flora and wildlife right outside our door. The monkeys were jumping from tree to tree as we walked to the beach one... More

My wife and I spent 3 night at Buena Vista and wished we could have spent more. The property way beautifully landscaped and the rooms we immaculate. It was the views of the water and monkeys on the railing that put the icing on the cake. I would like to thank everyone on property (and off) for making a great... More

We've just returned from a 3 night stay and really enjoyed our visit. Its a lovely property with beautiful landscaping, comfortable beds, deck with views, a quiet BVVs pool and gorgeous private beach. Lots of wildlife too. We saw Capuchin and Squirrel Monkeys, Green iguanas, crabs and lizards. Yes, the property is steep (we are athletic) so we walked down... More

My wife and I stayed here in November 2011 and really loved this property. The staff was gracious and had quick and efficient service and the grounds were beautiful and well-maintained. We rented a Junior Suite, if I remember the name correctly, and it had a really great view of the ocean. In the evenings and afternoons we could watch... More

Our family of 4 stayed here in November 2011. Was a nice modern, spacious 2 bedroom apartment. We saw lots of monkeys, sloths, and birds. Monkeys were even on our patio! Was a little bit of a hike to get to the private beach so we ended up driving there. Also was a bit of a hike to get to... More

What an incredible experience. My 2 teens (14&17) and I stayed at one of the villas for a week and enjoyed every moment of our trip. I can think of no other place in the world, where you can wake up and look out your window to see cappachino monkeys waiting outside your balcony to greet you with their babies... More

Tulemar is a beautiful property tucked into the hill with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Our family of 5 including 3 boys aged 10, 7, 4 stayed in a Buena Vista Luxury Villa at the top of the hill. This location is actually pretty nice as it gives the most impressive view of the property/ocean and it is so... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the studio villa 209 for 5 days after spending 6 days at Arenal and Monteverde. We really liked the location of the villa which was about 1/2 way down the cliff. It was immediately by the lower pool and within walking distance to the beach. The room was very nice, 2 queen bed's, efficiency... More
