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.

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.

From check in to check out everything at this boutique 10 villa property was amazing. As we were travelling during the rainy season, it rained during at least part of the day, but the way the rooms are situated made this no problem as it was warm, we relaxed on our private pool deck under cover and watched the monkeys jumping in the trees while enjoying a spectacular view of the ocean. The hotel also set up private in room massages, which were amazing, and an ATV zip line and waterfall tour, which was a highlight of our trip. Special thanks to the staff, they were welcoming, accommodating, personal and friendly and the food at the restaurant was awesome! We had at least a meal a day there and were never sick of it. We look forward to returning on our next trip!

It was beautiful. Noelia was awesome and tried her best to help us out. Jairo and Steven in the restaurant were great and always attentive. The villas are old and the pool had cracks in the wood with lots of big ants coming out and falling to the water which was gross! One piece of wood was old and already coming off.

Casa Chameleon Mal Pais creates a unique experience. There are only 10 villas and the staff truly gets to know each guest, I've never felt so taken care of at a resort before. Klarissa planned out our itinerary and Estevan made sure our food and drink choices were perfect for us. The food was incredible by the way!! Our villa was truly our home away from home, our own private paradise! The entire staff was helpful and made suggestions to ensure our trip was amazing! We can't wait to go back!!

The hotel was beautiful and close to the beach, but we had some type of animal living either in the bathroom mirror or wall and found droppings everyday on the bathroom counter. We told the front desk but nothing was done about it. Also the jets of our pool weren't functioning properly. These were tiny issues, so overall a wonderful experience!

My wife and I are happy to give the Casa Chameleon our highest recommendation. The rooms are incredible, the common spaces are intimate but also offer an incredible view of Mal Pais and the Pacific ocean sunsets, and the staff are all dedicated to making your stay enjoyable and memorable. A quick anecdote, on our last day, we came back with some yellow fin tuna from a fishing trip. We asked the chef to prepare us a meal using some of the fish. The wait staff and the chef worked together to organize and prepare us one of the most amazing meals we have ever had. It was a tremendous send off. We were impressed with everything that came out of the kitchen. The concierge(s) was able to move mountains for us on multiple occasions. Our visit was a true pleasure! Until next time "Pura Vida!"

I don't think I can say enough nice things about this place. The rooms are incredible and the staff are some of the nicest people you will meet. Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful. Definitely rent a atv while there and use it to get around. It's the only way to go. My only reason for not giving these guys a 5 star rating would be I though the food prices were a little high by 20% or so and no meat with breakfast. Other than that this place is one of a kind and I'll definitely be back!!

We stayed here 3 nights and really enjoyed our time. There are only 10 units and each has a own pool. We had the best bed at this hotel compared to the other 4 hotels we stayed at (very comfortable memory foam type). It also had a great shower! We had a separate living area and bedroom with full wall length windows that opened up to the pool. So it was great to be able to lounge between as you wished. Around 6 pm they recommended shutting the doors because of mosquitos and the bats that like to catch them. We found it very entertaining to watch this show each evening right outside. I was really surprised that there were not many mosquitos at all though. We did put some repellent on at night when we went to dinner (as everything is outside) but I only got about 10 bites total over two weeks in Costa Rica. To compare I had 57 bites over a week in St John last year. The dinner and breakfasts were great! Each night they created a new menu from whatever they had bought for the day. They always had a fish and a meat option. It was fun as it made you try things you may not ordinarily order. There are a number of restaurants around but you have to take a cab. A fun recommendation is to rent an ATV and tour the coast and discover all kinds of beaches. The beaches were mostly deserted except for the surfing beaches and contained many tide pools. The roads are mostly dirt there so it can be dusty so don't wear white.

Views are amazing, staff is great exceeding in details, very informative, food is amazing although pricier than the rest of the area. Great for a romantic getaway. The cocktails are the best we've ever had--Andrea makes the best interesting drinks, "chicha del chef" etc. The rooms are cleaned spotless with small details of flowers, flower petals on bed, etc. The bed and view are spectacular. The patio with hammock, private pool, comfy couches--great for relaxing with partner including personal fountain. Can't wait to go back. Pura vida!

We loved our stay here. The villa we had (Vista) was amazing. Perfect view of the ocean, very comfortable. The plunge pool got amazing mid day sun. We only wish there were loungers but the hammock was perfect. There's another pool that you can relax at that has loungers and all day sun. Not busy at all. Restaurant and bar staff is excellent (Andrea), they really go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. A very special place.
