Spa Hotels & Resorts in Tempate from AU$327

"Casa Chameleon is a beautifully planned and executed resort. The views are incredible from all areas of the property, as it sits at the top of the ridge that sets the south edge of Playa Danta, and the north edge of Playa Pan de Azucar. The main resort buildings have been situated on the top of the ridge, so the welcome plaza and restaurants/resort pool all look out from the peak elevation. As a result, be prepared for steps down to your villa and steps back up to get to the main facilities. Exercise will be experienced! Each villa has been positioned to give a sense of isolation - you truly feel like you are in your own personal oasis. The small infinity pool in each villa is a great touch, and I think I need to get one installed in my home now! The restaurants are some of the best rated in Las Catalinas, and rightfully so. The included breakfast is any breakfast entree from the restaurant menu, and there is nice variety of savory and sweet options. My favorite part of Casa Chameleon is the service people. They are truly gracious and welcoming, and so ready to share what they know about all of the towns and beaches down the coast. Also, they are more than happy to help someone with poor Spanish skills learn a few more words and phrases that are helpful throughout your stay. Would definitely consider staying again!"

"This hotel has a great location, right on the beach. There are no loungers,umbrella rentals or public restrooms on Potrero Beach so being at the hotel you have all of that. The water there is calm, great for swimming. Similar to many places in Costa Rica there were some plumbing issues, plugged toilet and plugged shower drain but maintenance fixed it right away and we were fine for the rest of the stay. It is clean, the buffet breakfast is good. You can order an omelette in addition to what is set out. Food is very expensive in Costa Rica so we filled up at breakfast then didn’t eat until supper. I would definitely return. "

"The flat was amazing, we definitely enjoyed the time we spent INSIDE the apartment. HOWEVER, the hotel management and concierge are COMPLETELY inept and made our entire stay unnecessarily frustrating. We received zero communication regarding what amenities were available to us, and only received answers to questions if using WhatsApp. Even then, responses would come hours later (even up to 24 hrs) and the responses were borderline rude. They did, however, make it very clear that we were NOT hotel guests - apparently apartment guests are the equivalent of the unwanted step child of every fairy tale. The property map is unreadable and inaccurate, even the valets didn’t understanding the map when trying to get us to our selected restaurants. This property advertises everything as walkable, but the streets are steep and management does not make it easy to get golf cart transportation if you need it. The valets were very polite but severely overworked as the property is definitely understaffed. Prices at the onsite restaurants and shop were outrageous for only average quality. To sum it up, we loved the APARTMENT but this company needs a complete overhaul of their management and some INTENSE training on customer service."

"The “ casita” was clean, but very much outdated.I would suggest some improvements, especially in the bathrooms. The staff were friendly and polite. The outdoor areas were very beautiful, clean, quiet."
