The hotel is beyond beautiful and the staff are incredibly kind. The service was exceptional. Our room was spotlessly cleaned twice daily. Our plunge pool was lovely and the view was like none other. The bed was huge and super comfy. I would absolutely stay here again. My ONLY complaint is everything in Las Catalinas is insanely over-priced. Not just typical touristy prices, but actually comical. Plain iced coffee was $10. A cheeseburger was $34. Less than 5 miles away are other beach towns (like Potrero) with much more reasonable pricing. Do not book anything through the hotel. They quoted me $180 round trip for a 15 min drive. When I declined they came back with $70 round trip. We ubered for $10 each way. Excursions were similar with insane price hikes compared to what we paid. Book directly for the best prices. Highly recommend staying here but leaving to eat, drink, and play!

From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like we were the only couple at the resort. The attention to detail, genuine kindness, and personalized service were unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Even the golf cart ride down to the beach was such a fun and unique touch. Every excursion we did was incredible, and we highly recommend both the fishing charter and the catamaran. The crews on both were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable. The food and drinks on the catamaran were especially outstanding! This trip is something we’ll be talking about for a very long time. A massive thank you to every single staff member who made it so special—you were all absolutely amazing and left us feeling so full of joy and gratitude. 10/10—we can’t wait to come back.

From the moment we began planning our trip, Casa Chameleon exceeded every expectation. The concierge team, especially Andy and Fernanda, reached out well before our arrival to answer questions, accommodate dietary preferences, coordinate excursions, and reserve unforgettable dinners. Their communication was warm, organized, and made everything feel effortless. They kept the magic alive from start to finish. Our arrival set the tone: signature cocktails, fresh fruit, cool towels, and the kindest staff. From hotel pickup to bag handling to heartfelt introductions, every moment was welcoming. And our villa? Absolutely breathtaking. The romantic canopy bed, handcrafted wooden décor, and serene design made me want to redesign my home to match it. A surprise birthday cake made me feel incredibly seen and celebrated. We slipped into our private plunge pool, surrounded by jungle with glimpses of the ocean—pure bliss. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt that peaceful, connected, and content. The bathroom deserves a special shoutout. It’s spacious, clean, with beautiful stone tile and a view of the jungle that made every shower feel like a spa ritual. We booked two excursions through the hotel: a half-day fishing charter and a catamaran sail with snorkeling. We saw dolphins and turtles, caught fish, and were treated to a chef-prepared meal with our fresh catch at Sentido Norte during sunset. Truly magical. Kevin was the first mate on the fishing boat and helped everyone catch a fish and was a great tour guide. The five-course wine pairing dinner in the Grotto with Andres was another highlight and a great recommendation by the hotel. Andres was knowledgeable, warm, and engaging. The food and wine? Extraordinary. I grew up in California with family in the wine industry and trust me when I say, this place delivers and does so with grace and elegance. Huge thank you to the restaurant team, including Carlos, Alex, Christian, and Mar for their kindness, energy, and attentiveness. Every interaction with them added to the joy of our stay. They were always a step ahead and made each meal feel like a celebration. One of my favorite memories was ringing the gong at sunset and watching the sky melt into the sea from a private cabana. These are the once-in-a-lifetime moments that Casa Chameleon delivers with ease. I can’t recommend this place enough for couples, friends, or anyone in search of luxury, serenity, and soul-stirring beauty. You will leave better, happier, and full of gratitude. Casa Chameleon is more than a hotel—it’s a feeling you’ll carry with you.

Wow! Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas is Pura Vida! This is a fabulous resort with exceptional service and beautiful views of the ocean. Every staff member was friendly, always smiling, and always ready to go above and beyond to make this an incredible vacation experience. Every room has a private pool and a beautiful walk-in shower that feels as if you’re showering outdoors. Late afternoon turn down service includes tea preparation and pastries. This hotel provides transportation via electric golf cart to Las Catalinas where you can enjoy the beach, shops, restaurants, and water toy rentals. Weeks before our arrival, we received emails from their concierge who offered assistance with transportation, excursions, suggestions, or any other arrangements. The mountain-top open air restaurant is wonderful and offers spectacular service. We completely enjoyed our stay, highly recommended! And we look forward to returning.
