I’ll take you inside Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas in Costa Rica, a Relais & Chateaux resort that looks great on the surface, but was ultimately a real disappointment. I’ll show you what I loved, what disappointed me and everything in between. The resort’s built into a cliff with great views of the Pacific Ocean, and nice size villas with plunge pools.
This is one of the most expensive resorts in Costa Rica, so I think it’s fair to have high expectations.
Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas is a 21-room resort located in the coastal town of Las Catalinas, situated on the Guanacaste coast of Costa Rica. The resort features 21 villas, each with its own private saltwater infinity pool and ocean views.
Casa Chameleon offers one on-site restaurant, which serves locally-inspired cuisine, focusing on fresh ingredients sourced from nearby farms and fishing villages. The restaurant also offers a selection of international wines and cocktails, and even though I didn’t like this resort. The views are some of the best in Costa Rica.
In addition to the private villa pools, the resort has a main infinity pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Guests can enjoy various activities, like yoga classes, cooking lessons, and guided hikes through the nearby hills.
The resort is situated in Las Catalinas, a car-free, master-planned town that emphasizes sustainability and outdoor living, but seemed sterile and uninteresting.
Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas is located approximately 45 minutes from Liberia International Airport and about an hour from Tamarindo, a popular surf town known for its nightlife and dining scene.

$1300 a night isnt worth it IMO. You can get a huge airbnb for half that.

Glad you enjoyed it.... I stayed at 24 places in Costa Rica so relative to other places in Costa Rica I think it's really overpriced... just my opinion.

I just got back from Liberia Costa Rica and it was heavenly!!!We stayed at the beautiful Riu Palace Resort. Don’t know what this mess you’re showing but The Rui is Awesome,the entire staff are also awesome.Pools and scenery is to die for. The beach is right off the pool area. And boy!All their restaurants are great!!!

I really enjoyed your perspective on that resort. Personally there are so many beautiful beaches in Costa Rica that you could stay in at $100 a night room, and have a beautiful view and a beautiful beach

I can concur with a lot of what he’s saying. Especially for that price! When you vacant a week at Liberia Costa Rica, for a lot less than the price he paid, you get spoiled! The Rui Palace All Inclusive , didn’t disappoint! We’re ready to go back again. They have The sister Hotel across the way from The Resort, it is nice, but still not like The Resort. I notice he didn’t say anything about The entertainment. I don’t think he were being picky. After experiencing The Rui, I would be very disturbed. I wished I could send you guys some of my photos from there. I am not Mobile phone Davy. This is not the I-had when we took our amazing trip. If someone would be interested in seeing some of my photos, tell me how to send through this sight,I would to share my photos.

How do I know if I like if I don't go. At $1300 a night, I think you should expect a lot. My review was balanced and fair.... 95% of my reviews are positive... but if I'm dissapointed I should say so.
