Casa Chameleon Hotel Las Catalinas - Adults Only

Address: Las Catalinas, Tempate, Guanacaste, CR
Location: Tempate
Star rating: 4/5
Guest rating: 9.8/10 (335 reviews)
Review: We booked our holiday as a special treat for our tenth anniversary and had never travelled to Costa Rica before, so we were not sure what to expect or the standard of the hotel as it was rated a mere two and a half stars on Expedia. We thought that we would take a chance and book 5 nights at Casa Chameleon Las Catalinas as the description and images looked amazing, however we left on our travels expecting it not to live up to expectations as per many hotels that we have booked and stayed at, you..., by Rebecca, 20 February 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent

Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel

Location: Tamarindo
Review: The hotel w as better than we expected, well worth the prize tag. It us away from the main town and the access to the beach is great... Easterbrook you see the sunset from the private beach. You will be blown away. The road to get there is a dirt road in the last kilometre but do not let this deter you. A piece of advice, try the shrimp hole nearby for lunch or dinner., by Lilian, 18 August 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent

Suitree Experience Hotel

An outdoor seating area with wicker furniture and cushions, surrounded by dense greenery.

Location: Sardinal
Review: A beautiful stay in Guayacan. Staff very helpful. Grace was our favourite, she spent time teaching our children Spanish and made us feel very welcome every time. We had an issue with the water but this wouldn't put us off staying here again. A unique experience that we really loved. Food was delicious, go half board if you can. The rooms need an extra air con unit on the bunkbeds side, but if you have the unit on all day and shut the curtains it's fine. Don't be put off by the drive up to the..., by Kate, 21 April 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: Our stay at Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, was truly exceptional. The resort is spectacular, with breathtaking views, beautifully designed facilities and an incredible sense of privacy and tranquillity. The facilities are outstanding. The **gym is amazing**, while the **spa and hydrotherapy pools are truly sensational** — perfect for relaxing and recharging. What really sets Nekajui apart, however, is its people.
