This place was breathtaking! My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay here. The staff were amazing and attentive even before I got there. The villa looks exactly like the pictures shown. Would come back here again if visiting.

8/10 Very good

Firstly, the staff are what makes this place shine. Oscar, David and Andy made our stay very enjoyable. They demonstrated excellent service and were accommodating. The food was excellent but the choices were limited and the menu didn’t change during the 8 days we were there. I would have liked to have more options. We did have a mini bar and in-room snacks but there is no price list so be careful in what you consume or you can get hit with an extra bill. Fortunately we had a car and were able to have numerous dining options in Santa Teresa. The grounds are lush and beautiful. We stayed in the casita called Ultra. The casita was large with an attached infinity pool. The view was spectacular. The interior was nice but areas show wear and tear. Particularly the pool where tiles are missing and the pool was not cleaned while we were there. The main pool by the restaurant seemed to be ok but we didn’t use it. Overall, the room was tidy but far from pristine. There is minimal lighting in the bathroom and no natural sunlight so it was dark. Lighting in general in the casita was poor. The biggest problem for us were the 131 stairs we had to negotiate to get to/from our room. I was not warned ahead of time and because my husband has had a stroke and doesn’t walk well, it was very difficult. Additionally, there is not enough lighting along the stair path and is not safe because there are nothing to hold onto. This is not a place for anyone with orthopedic issues.

There was nothing not to like about this property!!! Well... except the steps maybe to get to our bungalo! 121 straight up the mountain! But it was so worth it!!! We were there and only saw one other couple on property the entire time! The staff was incredible! Helpful, polite, available... perfection!!!!! Cannot wait to go back!

Casa Chameleon was a dream vacation for us. The staff was wonderful and we felt so at ease on this property. The rooms and the views are spectacular and it was well worth the extended trip. We're hoping to stay here again soon.

After reaching the property it’s up a massive in paved hill it’s incredibly pretty with amazing ocean views. Mariano and David greeted us and the service was incredible. The villa had a pool much larger than a plunge pool, it was our own small private pool. The breakfast was awesome so were all the different juices. Definitely recommend this property.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing property, very private and limited number of people at the resort which was nice. Having your own dipping pool was great. You were able to hear and see the howler monkeys from your room which was cool. Staff were friendly and super helpful with all needs. The property is close to town with lots of restaurants to choose from. The town is not as commercialised as Tamarindo which makes it better. The area has lovely beaches (Santa Teresa) - and every sunset was amazing! Would recommend a good car (4WD or SUV) as driveway/road to property is steep and a mixture of broken concrete and gravel. If you can get a shuttle to the area, i would recommend that and then hire a quad bike at the property or in town (its around 70-85$ per day).

The room was extraordinary. Beautiful view and very private pool, also with great view. It was in the least expensive room category but was likely the most fantastic room in which we have ever stayed. Lots of beautiful birds and surprisingly nice monkeys, squirrels, iguanas, and even an anteater visited our property. We would return in a heartbeat.

Our room was amazing. Awesome view, comfortable, and luxurious. We loved the dipping pool and all the places to sit and lounge. The staff was great! Karen arranged rides, rentals, directions, suggestions, reservations and was so friendly and efficient in caring for our needs. Andy, Jodie and Alfredo were great waiters but so much more. Highly recommend!

Absolutely awesome having a private plunge pool! Staff was so friendly and helpful. We consider them our friends by the time we left. Loved that it was adults only. Nothing worse than sitting down to dinner with a kid screaming next to you. Food was good. Only negative was the portions were small. Fabulous massage girls will give in room service. Definitely recommend this place!!

Stunning location; we had the villa which was fantastic. Expensive but worth it for a bit of luxury and evening meal included. The food was excellent although the menu was the same throughout. Staff were wonderfully helpful and always had a smile on their faces. My only minor issue was no telephone in the villa, which was a long way down many stairs. My email didn't always work so could not always communicate with the concierge.
