As we drove towards Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas, the winding roads were lined with lush vegetation, and the sounds of exotic birds and monkeys filled the air. The anticipation grew as we approached the boutique hotel set on a hilltop with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by lush tropical forests. We had heard that this was a paradise for anyone visiting Guanacaste and were excited to see what the day had in store for us.
Upon arriving at Casa Chameleon, we were greeted by friendly staff who showed us around the stunning property. The hotel was designed by renowned Costa Rican architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe, who is known for his sustainable and environmentally conscious designs. The hotel’s design is inspired by the surrounding natural environment and incorporates elements of Costa Rican culture.



After a quick tour, we were ready to start our day of relaxation. Our first stop was the lounge and infinity pool. There, we basked in the sun, enjoyed some cocktails, had lunch, and took a refreshing dip. The infinity pool provided a stunning view of the ocean and Las Catalinas town below. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind.






After spending some time swimming, we decided to head down to Playa Danta, the beautiful black sand beach, just a few steps from the hotel. The beach was stunning, with crystal-clear water and soft sand underfoot. We spent some time strolling along the shoreline, taking in the natural beauty of the area.



As the sun began to set, we made our way up to the top floor of Sentido Norte, one of the hotel’s on-site restaurants. With a delicious glass of chardonnay in hand, we watched the sun sink below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the surrounding jungle, and as the evening progressed, enjoyed a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner.



Sentido Norte offers some of the best food in the area. The menu features locally sourced ingredients and changes frequently to reflect the season’s freshest offerings. With its romantic setting and sunset views, Sentido Norte is the perfect place for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. The restaurant’s top-notch service ensures that every detail is taken care of, making your dining experience unforgettable.




By the day’s end, our time at Casa Chameleon had been filled with a plethora of experiences, including swimming, Playa Danta exploration, and a delightful romantic dinner at Sentido Norte. The combination of relaxation and sensory indulgence was perfect.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Casa Chameleon for appointing me as their ambassador and extending an invitation to spend the day at their stunning property.
