- "I went there as a solo traveler to celebrate my birthday. It was simply an unforgettable vacation. The service was even better than in the most expensive hotels in the world. I just can’t find the words to describe how much I loved everything." - "Casa Chameleon was stunning!! We loved everything. The pool was gorgeous and every night the sun sets over the pool and the ocean, it's a gorgeous view and you can be in the pool area, restaurant, or one of two levels of the bar to watch it. The room was very tastefully done with a spacious private patio with pool! The food was very good. Breakfast was included and there were many choices. We ate most of our meal there and the staff was so friendly and nice - learned our names and were sad when we left! The hotel is a short walk down to Las Catalinas town, which has a long beautiful beach. But it is a steep hill, so the hotel happily drives you down and picks you up in the golf cart. You can also request to be driven to other nearby beaches! All the beaches nearby are beautiful and not crowded at all. We were here for the end of our trip so we didn't book any tours, but the concierge was very friendly and helpful with any questions. I did have a treatment in the spa and it was amazing! Also, the daily yoga takes place by the pool before the sun is there and looked heavenly."

- "Magnificent property and facilities, and impeccable guest services. Staff were incredibly helpful in the months and weeks leading up to our stay, proving lots of information, answering our questions, and helping us plan several things before we got there. When we arrived, were given the royal treatment, from a golf cart to bring us and our baggage to the reception and our bungalow, and cool drinks at check-in. The facilities were gorgeous, beautifully designed, with lots of care to ensure sustainability. The property and thermal river were wonderful for nature lovers, and we loved exploring the various areas for swimming. We also took a hike and the complimentary yoga class. The food at the bar and restaurant was delicious, and the view above the canopy was stunning. We had one of the East Bungalows right on the edge of the canyon and just loved hanging on the swing hammocks on our balcony early in the morning to hear the birds, the flowing river – and very often watched a family of howler or white faced monkeys swing by."
