Casa de Frutas was proud to serve as the private retreat for Ms. Harden during the filming of her project, After Words. During her stay, Mauricio spoiled her with private chef and spa services.
“I love David’s home. If this is how the other half lives, I want to BE the other half. Every night, the storms are gorgeous, the sounds of the twittering and chirping are an exotic symphony. I am falling in love with Costa Rica. Thank you, Dave & Mauricio, for all the details, luxury and pure beauty you are orchestrating.”
Janet Shamlian Janet Shamlain is a correspondent for CBS News reporting for CBS This Morning and the CBS Evening News.
“Rarely is a vacation home even better than its photos, but that's what we found at Casa de Frutas. Having rented properties all over the world, Dave's retreat in Costa Rica is our all-time favorite. The house is perfection and the views are surpassed only by the service of Mauricio - who treated us like royalty. Lazy days on the beach, in the plunge pool or sipping a cool drink on the deck, it was an unforgettable memory maker for our family. Looking forward to our next trip!”
Jeff Corwin Jeff Corwin is an Emmy® award-winning television host. Casa de Frutas was proud to serve as Mr. Corwin’s private residence during his filming of Ocean Treks. Watch Ocean Treks Saturday mornings at 9:30am PST on ABC.
“It’s absolutely gorgeous here. Casa de Frutas has a beautiful living area overlooking the pristine waters of the coastline, a gourmet kitchen, and everything you need for a great vacation. I had a great time working here!”
Felicity Huffman Emmy and Golden Globe Winner, Felicity Huffman, of Desperate Housewives, Transamerica, and nominated for an Emmy® for the new series American Crime
“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.“
Mark Duplass & Katie Aselton Actors, producers, and spouses Mark Duplass and Katie Aselton escaped to Casa de Frutas for a week with their two daughters for equal parts relaxation and adventure. Mark and Katie have many film and TV roles and productions to their credit but Mark is probably best known for The Morning Show (Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series), The League, The Freebie, Creep and Wild Wild Country (Emmy WINNER for Outstanding Documentary – Executive Producer).
"Hands down the best family vacation we’ve ever taken. The entire staff was so warm and welcoming, they made us feel like family the moment we arrived. We could have spent another week just enjoying the home’s private pool, the daily fresh fruit, the wildlife all around, the resort's private beach area, etc… It was the perfect combination of luxury relaxation and outdoor nature adventures. The house itself is also laid out perfectly… upstairs is the open living area, chef’s kitchen (which the monkeys also enjoy visiting), and the master suite with the indoor/outdoor shower. Two private suites below offer privacy if you want to come with another family. The whole experience was truly exceptional. We’ll be back before the year is up. Thanks Dave and team!"
