Casa Chameleon was a dream vacation for us. The staff was wonderful and we felt so at ease on this property. The rooms and the views are spectacular and it was well worth the extended trip. We're hoping to stay here again soon.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (18 reviews)
The property is very unique in that you will see wildlife everywhere. People who have issues walking should avoid the villas . There are just too many steep steps leading to the main lodge. The roads are not paved so be prepared for bumpy rides.

Jun 24, 2019We recommend visiting on a weekday because we went on a Holiday Weekend and it was extremely busy. However Iguana Tours split up the adults without kids and the adults with kids so we still had a pleasant experience admiring the wildlife and the gorgeous beaches.

Mar 16, 2019Stay on the main trail to the beach to see the most animals. During the dry season the waterfall is bone dry and not worth the hike down its trail. Take plenty of water and pack a lunch but keep it protected because the monkeys will take it. The trail to Cathedral Point is great and worth the hike. The wildlife in it's natural habitat is phenomenal. The beaches (Manuel Antonio and Espadilla Sur) are beautiful. The water is warm. Lovely area. BEAUTIFUL!

Jan 31, 2019It will be crowded during busy season so be mentally prepared, it’s the most popular park in country for visitors. Also can't bring food in even if going to beach
