Papagayo Peninsula Holidays from £1,030

We loved this place!! The staff are fantastic and so friendly. We had two of the best breakfasts of our whole trip at the cafe! So fresh and delicious. The pool is lovely, with lots of lounge chairs to use. They have fresh coffee available in the mornings, cold/filtered water available in the shared space, and shampoo/conditioner and body wash in the rooms. The location is amazing. 5-10 minute walk to most anything you would need. Beautiful, clean grocery store a few minutes away, as well as a bank and pharmacy. Countless restaurants and bars within a couple of minutes walk. We enjoyed our time here very much with welcomed visits from the sweetest little dog, Wyatt. We even got to enjoy watching 5-6 howler monkeys swinging in the trees while we relaxed in the pool. It’s truly paradise!

Everything about Casa Chameleon was impeccable. The friendly staff, the complimentary daily breakfast and the clean rooms made the experience even more enjoyable. The property had immaculate views overlooking the ocean and the Catalinas town that is relatively new with condos shops and restaurants and a beautiful beach club. My next trip to Costa Rica, I I’ll be staying here. If you are looking for a relaxed, calm vacation vibe, Casa Chameleon is for you!

Just wow - So much to say about this property! My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks. The view overlooking the marina is GORGEOUS and worth it for breakfast on the balcony every morning! Playa Flamingo is a short 5-10 min walk away and that beach is one of the nicest in Costa Rica! When we arrived, Carlos greeted us and drove us to get groceries to stock up the fridge. He was so welcoming and so kind! Gustavo was also invaluable during our stay; always offering a recommendation or a friendly smile! The room itself was perfect. The bed was so comfy, the AC was a godsend and everything was clean and neat. Staying in the marina is super convenient! There are multiple restaurants to choose from as well as a plaza across the street for other dining options. We did not need to rent a car for being in this area. We rented a golf cart and that allowed us to explore Flamingo, Potrero and drive all the way to Brasilito (to park and walk to Playa Conchal). The area of Playa Flamingo is very quiet with little to no nightlife. We loved it for this aspect but understand it could be “too quiet” for others. Gustavo and Carlos: Thank you for making our holiday extraordinary. We will surely be back!

Overall, I had a really good time. The food was actually very good compared to some of the reviews that I saw that mentioned it was mediocre. The transportation staff were top-tier and their driving abilities are unmatched. The only thing is that I did call and asked for the in room snacks to be stocked, but that was never done during my time.

We had a nice time, was a short 1 night visit but will return again. Pools were very clean, food was just okay, rooms were roomy, clean and kitchen was a bonus and well stocked.
