We discovered Casa Chameleon online. The more we read, it did sound like the place we wanted to visit. We usually vacation in Mexico and sometimes Hawaii. We have also been to the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, and Puerto Rico, and Australia once(nice, but much too far for an annual trip) We do like smaller places. We do not enjoy all- inclusives or big resorts.
We could not have been more pleased with our choice. We felt that the resort was a hidden oasis in this town. We enjoyed using the maps and our explorations.
However, we loved having our private retreat to return to. We felt safe and comfortable every time we pulled into the gates. Everything was top notch. The villa was marvelous with the private pool. The views serene and spectacular.
Most of all, I would have to say the service rivaled that of any place we have ever stayed. Even those which were much more expensive. It was a wonderful vacation and we will return!

This is paradise. After reading the reviews I was excited but didnt know how amazing this place really is...

The villa's are magical...everything is thought of... the views take your breath away.

Its so wonderful you dont want to leave your room and the grounds but you have to because mal pais is amazing and this is just the jewel of the paradise...

Kevin is a great cook and I recommend you do the 4 course dinner...breakfast is great too! David, Bobbie and Anthony feel more like friends you have not seen in a while than staff...

there is a magic here...

enjoy!

My new wife is a genius! She read about this place in one of her bride magazines and I fought her for months. I really thought we should go to Hawaii for our honeymoon. When we were comparing the cost and what we would get it just kept bringing us back to Costa Rica. She kept showing me reviews on all of these sites and i finally gave in and we booked our costa rica honeymoon. We stayed at 2 other places before the chamaleon but it was chamaleon that made us want to go back to costa rica again. It really does make a difference where you stay. We want to go back for our anniversary. I would say dont take a chance on a honeymoon because its worth making sure it's special. Im very glad I listened to my new wife. I guess im learning fast, huh? Thank you to David for showing us what is so great about mal pas!

This place is off the hook! Never seen anything like it, anywhere! The parking lot was even cool! We had such a great time we already booked for November. Every single person there, the owners, staff were great, nice, and super cool! They all really want everyone to have a great time. The villas were first rate with every detail taken care of. Im talking about the regular villa. Cant imagine what the luxury one was like! My only regret is that we didnt just spend our entire vacation here. We will in November!
