My in-lawas paid for our honeymoon here and it was the best gift ever! Everything was more amazing than the photos. I read about it before going but it was even more beautiful than I expected. The views are amazing! The service, food and hospitality are incredible. This has to be the best honeymoon hotel ever invented! It's private and... more

We had an AMAZING stay at this hidden oasis! I learnt of this travel site from a nice couple honeymooning at the resort during our stay. I thought it a great way to say THANK YOU to the owners, Bobbie & Anthony, who have created a special paradise for us over-stressed folks in the film industry! A HUGE thank you... more

We decided to book our stay at CC after reading all the great reviews on trip advisor. Neither of us had been to central america, so we weren't exactly sure what to expect. it was a little nerve racking traveling from san jose to tambor (via sansa) and then picking up the rental car because we were not used to... more

We found just what we were looking for in Costa Rica at Casa Chameleon! We drove down from Tamarindo and enjoyed the incredible scenery along the route. We had been disappointed at the development in Tamarindo. Mal Pais was surprisingly undeveloped and looked more like the Costa Rica we had dreamt of. We were incredibly impressed with everything we experienced... more

Have you ever felt like you walked right into your precise idea of heaven? Where the weather was just the right temperature, your accommodations were tweeked just so to fit your every desire? And the service was designed to cater to your every whim? How about the food? Did you picture every taste, smell and texture to be succulent and... more

We were extremely disappointed with the service provided and our experience at Casa Cameleon. After reading such amazing reviews on tripadvisor.com we were so excited to spend the last part of our honeymoon there. When we arrived David (the manager) was very sweet and accomodating to us and got us settled. First he sent us to a restaurant to eat... more

Management response from

What this guest failed to mention is that they showed up, said they had booked the luxury villa with private pool. When shown 10 months of correspondences with them asking for the "cheapest room available" they then insisted on a full refund, as they wanted the room with the pool. They said they would be leaving in the morning. As...

On the basis of glowing reviews on TripAdvisor, my wife and I decided to spend 3 nights (out of 14 in Costa Rica) in the luxury villa at Casa Chameleon to celebrate our 40th anniversary. When I got back and wrote down my thoughts, I realized how many other guests had had the same experience. There IS magic here! You... more

My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Costa Rica at Hotel Casa Chameleon and we can honestly say there was not a bad thing about our trip! When we arrived, we were greeted by Dave- a young, enigmatic, wonderfully kind host. We were given a tour of the grounds that night but we had no idea the marvels we... more

We read some reviews before visiting here so I figured it fitting to add some feedback. Even after reading about this place it was better than expected. First, I must emphasize that this is NOT YOUR REGULAR VACATION. If you are someone that just has to have typical anything, you are better off at a Marriot or Four Seasons. If... more

This was our first location on our honeymoon and we were spoiled for sure! It was the first time either of us have left the states and we were well taken care of! We were both excited and nervous on the bumpy roads in but boy was it worth it! We had the villa with private pool and I've never... more
