We had an absolutely amazing stay at Casa Chameleon. The Estrella suite was absolutely stunning! Very private with an amazing view. We loved the plunge pool and outdoor shower. There was nothing quite like waking up to the birds chirping, monkeys saying hello, and a stellar view of the ocean. The "hike" to this suite was more than we anticipated but definitely manageable and well worth the trek! Beyond the room, the staff was top notch. Everyone was so kind. They even took special care to make sure my food allergens and sensitivities were covered. I have to give a special shout out to Brandon who was so sweet and helpful. I loved that he made the table decorations and handpicked the arrangements. You can tell that he and every single staff member loves what they do. We absolutely loved every part of our stay and hope to visit again.

Casa Chameleon Mal Pais Is a tropical paradise. The views are stunning and the villas are incredibly private. We had monkeys hanging out each morning on the tree beside our patio. We had a truly relaxing and restorative stay here. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful atmosphere and attentive service made it easy to unwind. The surroundings were serene, the amenities thoughtfully designed for comfort, and every detail encouraged rest and rejuvenation. I feel refreshed and recharged - a perfect escape. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Esteban gave us some great restaurant recommendations for when we were out exploring as well as some secluded shady beach spots. We had breakfast onsite each day at Brasas del Mar and the food was so incredible. Try the Tico breakfast for some authentic Costa Rican food. If you are renting a car be sure to get 4 wheel drive. The roads are steep and often very rough. It's a fun adventure just to drive around but definitely worth it to explore the local cuisine and shopping.

Fantastic service, Esteban, Brandon, and Keiner all took great care of us. We also had unexpected water trouble in the room and Luis made it all good. We saw many animals, loved the breakfast, and hanging out in the pool.

Our stay here was absolutely amazing. The room, views, and scenery were so romantic. We couldn’t have asked for a better staff, they were all so inviting and welcoming! We will be staying here next time!🥰

My wife and I stay at Casa Chameleon for the last part of our honeymoon and it was extremely pleasant time. It is in a great location and the views are beautiful. The staff is super friendly and respectful. We felt like king and queen. The food is also delicious and drinks are amazing. Will definitely recommend this place to our friends and family and anyone traveling to visit Mal Pais. Only downside is that it is on a steep hill, so taxi or an ATV is best up to the entrance. Busses and shuttles won’t take you up the hill. Overall, great experience. Pura vida!
