- "Hotel Casa Chameleon Hotel Mal Pais - Adults Only - is an extremely beautiful and well-maintained hotel located on a mountain slope in the jungle just outside Santa Teresa. The hotel has 10 beautiful bungalows, all with their own terrace and infinity pool which are completely private. With these 10 bungalows, the hotel can only accommodate a maximum of 20 adult guests (no children at this hotel), which gives a very private atmosphere. From our terrace, which had a view of the Pacific Ocean, we saw, among other things, howler monkeys, beautiful birds and large butterflies. Our bungalow was very nicely decorated and we also really appreciated that there was a real coffee maker (coffee refilled daily) and a small fridge in the room. Wonderful to start the day with a cup of coffee on the terrace and look out over the jungle and the Pacific Ocean! The hotel has a beautiful restaurant and bar where you eat breakfast and/or lunch and dinner. Very good food is served throughout. Fresh fruit and a fruit smoothie are always served with each breakfast. Next to the hotel's restaurant is also a small pool where a family of 4 lizards used to sunbathe during the day! Peaceful and exciting animals. The staff is extremely concerned about the guests and the guests' well-being. We would like to extend a very warm thank you to Alfredo, Mariano, Justin, Andy and David and all the other staff who made our two weeks stay very special! As the hotel is outside Santa Teresa (it takes about 45 minutes to walk to Santa Teresa), we strongly recommend renting an ATV during your stay there. Walking along the roads, all of which lack sidewalks, after dark is life-threatening as the roads lack lighting and cars, motorcycles and ATVs drive at high speeds and often without their lights on. With an ATV, you can also easily get around to all the paradise beaches in the region. We can only warmly recommend Hotel Casa Chameleon Hotel Mal Pais. //Frederik & Maria"
