We stayed at Casa Chameleon in Costa Rica and absolutely loved our room. It was spotless, with super comfortable beds and pillows that made it easy to relax. The highlight was definitely the stunning view. We couldn’t get enough of it! Having a private pool right outside our room made the experience even more special. It was peaceful, luxurious, and the perfect touch for our stay. Highly recommend!

"Hotel was extremely clean. As soon as you entered the lobby, you could smell that it's constantly kept up with. The room was kind of small but we were only staying 1 night, so we made it work.
