Chef Tito is our primary chef that we use, but we also work with other local chefs when Tito is busy cooking at other private homes. All our chefs are very talented and flexible with their cooking styles. Chef Tito owned his own Caribbean style restaurant in Quepos for many years before deciding that he wanted to dedicate his time to cooking in a more private setting with tourists.

Private Photography

Many guests love to capture their memories of their vacations in Costa Rica. You can hire a private, professional photographer to come and take family photos for you.  The Tulemar beach is the perfect setting for this.  The costs vary depending on the time spent on the shoot and the number of people.
