I thought I had posted this months ago, but apparently only saved it as a draft -- hope this is helpful! Where can we begin? My wife and I took our honeymoon in Costa Rica in November 2011 and stayed at Casa Chamelon. My wife had done a simple google search for "costa rica hotel private pool" and Casa Chameleon... More

We just returned from a week at Casa Chameleon and we can't say enough good about it. We were greeted by a darling young woman, Jessica, who made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked it. It was a long day getting there but Vicky, who takes the reservations, set up our flight from San Jose to Tambor and... More

Where do I start?? This place really is a paradise, we stayed in the ultra luxury villa because it was our honeymoon and we just felt so pampered, even though it wasn't an all-inclusive resort. We got massages in our room and swam in our very own infinity pool and lounged on our canopied four-poster bed and took a bubble... More

We have just spent a week at Casa Chameleon, staying in Villa Sol. It was an absolutely wonderful experience in all respects. The room was beautiful, looking over our own tropical garden and infinity pool and on to the setting sun and sea. The privacy was absolute and the atmosphere completely peaceful. With only four units in the hotel, we... More

Just back from 9 days/nights at Casa Chameleon in Villa Vista and everything people say here (perfection, blah-blah-blah) remains true. We loved virtually every second of our stay. “Virtually,” because: 1. They’re building 2 new villas and though management genuinely seems to be trying to ensure the noise and disruption is kept to a minimum, construction is construction. It was... More

We have been fortunate to travel to Costa Rica many times and stay at many places. Santa Teresa/Mal Pais is a long drive from anywhere but boast some beautiful beaches. I suggest if coming here stay at least 3 days to make it worth the drive. This is a surfer’s town and has some of the nicest accommodations in Costa... More

My wife and I loved our relaxing, week-long stay at the Casa Chameleon in February 2011. The property is super-private, with only 4 villas (maximum of 8 adult guests). We stayed in the Villa Palma, which has a terrific balcony (and plunge pool) overlooking the jungle and ocean. The room was spacious, with a comfortabel bed and sitting area. The... More
