10/10 Excellent
"We were met at the desk with a friendly staff person who let us know of local tours, the adjacent convenience store, and walked us to our room. The room was wonderful with a balcony. We enjoyed the breakfast, dinner, the pool and the game room with 2 pool tables. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We participated in the trivia night and listened to the Jimmy Buffet tribute band from the pool area. The hotel is only a few minutes' walk to the beach. A great place to stay!"

Casa Chameleon Hotel Las Catalinas - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at this resort was truly unforgettable. The villa rooms were absolutely gorgeous and the private pool with sunset view every evening was absolutely unbelievable. But what truly made our experience exceptional was the staff. I have never experienced such genuinely amazing service. All were great but Cesar specifically, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, cared for, and truly special. Their warmth, attentiveness, and hospitality made our stay even more memorable. I was so sad to leave them. We wanted to take them back home with us because they were just such kind hearted people."
