5.0/10

My stay at Casa Chameleon was filled with amazing views and friendly staff, though I was disappointed by the constant construction noise that disrupted the peaceful atmosphere. While the resort's amenities and overall experience were lovely, it was difficult to relax fully due to the early morning wake-ups from outside work.

My stay at Casa Chameleon was an lovely experience. The luxury and privacy of the villa were very nice. While I could have happily spent all my time by the plunge pool, the infinity pool and bar area were equally enticing. However, there were a few instances of busy moments at the bar, especially during sunset.

I just returned from a week at Casa Chameleon, and overall, my experience was excellent. The views from my room were amazing, and the staff provided some of the friendliest service I've ever encountered. However, I did find the food could be improved, and the ongoing construction noise was a bit distracting at times.

The villas are private and spacious with amazing ocean views. I enjoyed the plunge pool and terrace, although it was sometimes buggy due to the wet season. The bathroom layout might not be for everyone, as it lacks privacy.

Set high above the ocean, the views are just stunning. Despite being in a construction zone, I found the surroundings beautiful and there were great opportunities to explore nearby.

Dining

While breakfast was delicious and plentiful, the dinner portions felt a bit small and the food at Sentido Norte was generally unremarkable. Fortunately, there are better dining options just a short trip away in Las Catalinas.

While some staff members were super nice and attentive, there were moments when requests went unanswered, which left me feeling a bit overlooked. It felt like there were lapses in service that I wouldn't expect at a luxury resort.

Location

The resort's location is just very nice, sitting high on a cliff with striking views of the Pacific Ocean. However, I did notice ongoing construction next door, which was slightly distracting from the otherwise serene experience.

Dining

The dining experience could use some improvement; there was only one restaurant open during my stay, and I found the food quality to be less than what I had hoped for. I did enjoy some good salads, but overall, it left room for enhancement.

Facilities

The resort offers good amenities, like a poolside service, though my experience was mixed regarding responsiveness when I needed assistance. They do have a shuttle service which was convenient, but it could be more reliable.
