Casa Chameleon Hotel at Las Catalinas

Always love getting a day pass for Casa Chameleon! The pool and vie are amazing! The staff are phenomenal and they can even call in the best massage team in Guanacaste to elevate the experience. Five stars all around!

Absolute 10 out of 10, staff were phenomenal, location is stunning, food was outstanding! Visited for our honeymoon and we will certainly be back one day! Recommend this place to any and everyone looking for the best experience in Costa Rica, PURA VIDA!

I debated whether to give this resort three stars or four stars. My husband and I traveled here through the Labor Day holiday for our anniversary. When we arrived at the resort, it was pouring down raining. The receptionist was working with another couple so we were seated in the lobby, provided a cold towel, coconut water, and a fruit kebab. The lobby was small, but aesthetically pleasing. It had a small gift shop that never was open during our stay. I presume it was because of the season and perhaps you could’ve asked if you needed something for it to be opened. We checked in and was given a quasi overview of the resort. Our bags had already been taken to the room, and we were escorted to our room. Much to my chagrin, there was no golf cart to take us to the stairs, even though it was pouring down raining. We only had umbrellas. The room was located quite a distance on the lower level with multiple stairs (about 50 steps). I was recovering from a knee injury so I knew this would not work. By the time we arrived at the room, I was soaking wet and not happy. I let the bellhop know, and he stated that he would see if another room was available with less stairs. In about 30 minutes, we were told another room was available. So I had to go and look at the room to decide if we wanted to change the room. To me it was not as nice as the one on the lower level, but for my convenience, we decided to move. Do not get me wrong, the rooms have stunning views. However, the decor is somewhat eclectic. There is no TV but I would assume if you stay here you are not coming to watch TV. Wifi was pretty good so you could connect if you chose to. The other thing that was off putting is the bathroom. The bathroom wall does not connect to the ceiling so smells can invade the room. The other thing that was bizarre to me is that the room had no place to sit. You have an outdoor area with seating so we ended up bringing a chair from the outside into our room. There is a mini bar, but I find the prices to be high . For example a 6 ounce soda was five US dollars (I guess). The outdoor area is lovely. I found it to be relatively secluded. The pool is not heated so keep that in mind. Noise was not an issue as a resort seemed to be low occupancy. There is still construction ongoing but the noise was not a problem. Turn down service was also a nice touch. The breakfast that was included was great along with the staff and the views. It was easy enough to get the golf cart to go down to Las Carolinas proper which has restaurants and a small beach (Danta). It is a great place to take photos. I found the restaurants to be overpriced and not very good. We found ourselves not at the resort eating and taking an Uber to Brasilito, Playa Flamingo, etc b/c there was nothing to do at the resort, but you could book excursions. We went for our anniversary and I communicated this to the concierge via email prior to arrival along with the desire for a in room couples massage. Our anniversary was not mentioned or recognized. The massage was not documented. I was told that person I was emailing was out of the office. For this type of resort, I found this to be disappointing. We had an in room massage and the women were fine but we wanted it outside and they were adamant about doing it in the small room. Then they started changing the AC temp which seemed like it was more about them than us. There was nothing romantic about it. On the last night we heard a crash in the water. The tile from the pool wall fell off. We let them know and they offered to change our room. It was our last night so we didn’t bother. I am well traveled. I have stayed at a number of luxury resorts/hotels. This stay did not live up to my ideals. The views are the star here, along with some staff. We got a fair rate b/c of the season but I definitely would have been disappointed paying a higher price point. In some ways I regretted not going with another property. I settled on giving four stars b/c the views and some staff.

Our stay at Casa Chameleon in Las Catalinas was nothing short of spectacular. If your looking for something very intimate, relaxing & secluded this is where you want to be. From the moment we arrived, the staff at reception were incredibly welcoming & helpful throughout our entire 2 week stay! All the staff on site were absolutely exceptional!! We celebrated both our 30th anniversary & my husband’s birthday & the staff went above & beyond to make these both very memorable!❤️ Our room was spotless, clean & very comfortable. The view from our room, Danta 2 was nothing but SPECTACULAR!!! 🥰 The ocean view was incredible! Dining at Sentido Norte - Breakfast included fresh fruit & freshly baked pastries, great start to your day. Staff was very accommodating to alter menu items Eg: Derryk very much enjoyed his steak & eggs! The food was all excellent!! Once again the staff was exceptional! If I had to provide any complaints it would be to provide a stool of some sort in the shower. It would make shaving your legs less challenging! Thank you to all the staff, I know it makes it a lot more personal of a review to name specific staff members but we can honestly say all the staff were remarkable! You guys honestly made Derryk & I have a vacation to remember with amazing memories! We will be back!! Derryk & Penny❤️
