Perfect

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!

Nice but pricey

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 the villa and the location. We did not want to leave we had animals including monkeys and sloths around us. A couple nights we ordered dinner in because we loved staying in the villa and relaxing in the jacuzzi at night. Everything was perfect.

Wonderful location, relaxing and beautiful.

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.

Amazing!

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!

Loved Salty Breeze!

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.

Best/Safest area in Quepos area.

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.

Amazing family vacation

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!

Perfection in Paradise

If you’ve found this magical property, don’t think, book now! From beginning to end of your stay, you are surrounded by the beauty of Manuel Antonio. Upon arrival we were greeted by our wonderful concierge, Fabian, who pointed out a sloth sleeping in a tree right by the front entrance of the villa! My dreams had already come true! The door to the villa was opened and you can see straight through to the azure sea and varying shades of green leaves. Every night we were entertained by capuchin, squirrel and howler monkeys. The mango tree beside the villa is frequented by many visitors! You never want to leave the patio because there is constantly something new flying or swinging by! If you want to experience the trip of a lifetime, book Salty Breeze. You will NOT be disappointed!!

About the host

Hosted by John Schuchert

Host profile image
I have been in Costa Rica since 2007 and owning a house in Tulemar has been the goal from the start! It is the nicest neighborhood in Costa Rica, with a private beach, the most wildlife of anywhere in the country, the highest security, the best rainforest atmosphere, and the most amazing views! House concierge Jose Serrano is always on call 24/7 in person or by text to give the customers the ultimate Costa Rica experience. We LOVE to help our customers fall in LOVE with Costa Rica!

Why they chose this property

We are located right in the middle of the rainforest neighborhood Tulemar. There is a shuttle that can take you to the beach, there are restaurants nearby, HUGE OCEAN VIEWS from the house or just walking around the neighborhood. There is a semi private, neighborhood only beach at the bottom of the hill. Tons of wildlife, usually over 100 monkeys cross the balcony per day. Macaws, sloths and toucans are seen by every guest, usually from inside the house. There is no place on earth like this, it really is paradise.

What makes this property unique

We are also on call 24/7 to help with anything and everything you need to make this the best vacation possible! We love to answer questions, recommend food places, setup activities, give local insight, and help our customers fall in LOVE with Costa Rica. You will be back :)
