Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith. We had never been to Costa Rica and originally we were working a Costa Rican travel agent. By chance, I came across Casa Gema De Bali on Tripadvisor, read the reviews and decided this was the place for us. We spent 6/15/12-6/23/12 at this wonderful villa. I travelled with my wife and two daughters ages 19 and 24. The casa is even more beautiful than the pictures. The location is probably the best in Tulemar. The casa is located near the top of Tulemar which makes for spectacular views from the decks. We also had the advantage of being near the main road so it was easy to walk to restaurants. Amy, our concierge, was wonderful and booked most of our tours prior to our arrival. When we had a tour scheduled, Amy would call us in the morning to make sure we were up and tell us what we needed to bring. My family enjoyed the family pool and the beach. We saw more wildlife at Tulemar than we did at Manuel Antonio Park. We saw squirrel monkeys, white faced monkeys, howler monkeys, iguanas, lizards, bats and many varieties of birds. You can make a call to the main office to have a shuttle take you to anywhere on the property. There are many wonderful restaurants within walking distance. Our favorites were Cafe Milagro and Aqua Azul. We kept busy by taking a tour of Manuel Antonio Park with Johan, zip-lining, ATV tour, fishing and a catamaran cruise. We relaxed at the villa which has a jacuzzi on the top deck and views I will never forget. I enjoyed the outdoor shower with the waterfall shower head. I was able to stay connected to work and family with the wifi and free calls to the US. The weather was hot, sunny with periods of rain.
We have travelled extensively and we all agree that this was one of our most enjoyable vacations. Thank you Tracey, Amy and the entire staff at Tulemar.
