Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas

Casa Chameleon, on the hilltop above Las Catalinas

Casa Chameleon sits on the hilltop above Las Catalinas, a small beach town on the Guanacaste coast built for walking, looking over Playa Danta and the Pacific. It suits couples who want privacy, a pool of their own and an ocean view from bed, with the town's beaches and trails below.

The design is minimal and the view is everything: the coast, the islands offshore and the sunset over the water.

Why we choose it

• Every villa has its own pool. Each villa has a private saltwater plunge pool facing the Pacific, so you can swim without ever leaving your terrace.
• Trails from the door. Las Catalinas has hiking and mountain biking trails through the dry forest, and they start right below the hotel.
• A beach town on foot. Las Catalinas is built for walking, so dinner in town and a morning on Playa Danta are a stroll away.

Rooms and views

The accommodation is all villas, each with a private saltwater plunge pool and a view of the Pacific. They are designed for two, with clean, modern lines and big windows, and the terrace is where most of the day goes.

Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 11:00, so we plan your transfers around a full last morning by the pool.

On the property

The hotel group has four restaurants, so dinner can be on the hill or down in town. The trails for hiking and mountain biking run through the hills around Las Catalinas, and the beaches are a short walk below.

On the water, the calm bay is good for snorkeling, kayaking and stand-up paddle, and we can arrange a sunset sail or a zip line tour.

Location and getting there

Casa Chameleon is on the hilltop above Las Catalinas and Playa Danta, on the northern Pacific coast of Guanacaste, about an hour from Liberia airport.

It pairs well with Arenal or Rincon de la Vieja, so the trip ends with a few quiet days by your own pool.
