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 husband and I felt we were in paradise at Casa Chameleon -- It was a perfect honeymoon getaway. We ditto much of the past reviews: ultra-nice villa, serene privacy, and exceptional meals and service (especially from Oscar). We travelled by foot and wound up walking the beach when we went into town, because the roads are unpaved (very dusty... More

We have literally just returned from our stay at Casa Chameleon, and I couldn't wait to sit down to write a review. This was the best vacation we have ever been on! We arrived to find everything just as it was pictured on the website. However, the website cannot capture the beauty and tranquility of it all. The grounds are... 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

My husband and I have stayed here on several occasions now. I don't know why my reviews don't show up!? However, I'll try again. From our first visit we found Casa C. to be the most unique and exceptional little hotel we've ever come across. And we travel extensively! The design by original owner Anthony and his wife Bobbie was... More

My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon, which we spent the entire time, 10 days, at Casa Chameleon. Calling it perfect doesn't even do it justice. From the moment we got there till the moment we left, everything was just wonderful. No television, no phone, no internet (wi-fi is available in the main area of the resort... More

My boyfriend and booked a trip to Costa Rica last year and stayed at Casa Chameleon through a recommendation. We were beyond pleased with our stay. We were greeted by Alonso when we came in with cool face towels, to cool off after our drive over. Walking into our room felt like a dream. The pool wrapping around the main... More

Knowing Casa Cameleon was a great getaway from all that is hectic in life, we decided on a second trip and found that everything had improved. We stayed in a new villa (4 now and soon to be 5 ) and experienced the same remarkable view overlooking the forests and Pacific Ocean from bed, deck or plunge pool. We even... More

My fiancée and I took a trip around Costa Rica last year and were only in Mal Pais for two days, which we spent at Casa Chameleon. We enjoyed the location and the hotel so much that we decided to go back this year and spend our full vacation there. We loved the hotel the first time, and it only... More

After getting married in Manuel Antonio, my husband and I decided that honeymooning for a week in Mal Pais would be a perfect way to decompress from all stress and craziness of wedding planning. We were right...well, sort of. Our vacations are usually pretty action-packed and we found after a few nights in Mal Pais (staying at Villas Hermosas) we... More
