El Guapote Vacations from $936

We were a group of 8. Ranging from adults/teens 30-14. We had a great time. We spent 6 days 5 nights. I’ll give pros first. The place is big, you have so many places to explore and there is a shuttle that gets you around. Plenty of pool space, the view are phenomenal. The “few” staff members that are present are extremely serviceable. They were friendly and went the extra mile. Food menu for breakfast was the same but very good! They changed it up for lunch and dinner but it was all really good. The rooms were nice and spacious and cleaned daily. Might add cool! We had a few nights were we played cards at the round tables.. which we bought cards located at the store on the property. Bartenders were awesome, and drinks were great. Beach is huge and you can walk a distance to get to various restaurants. Cons, the time we spent there, the rides and attractions shown were never turned on, so pictures are misleading. There were only limited staff as I mentioned. Which they were great but with the size of the place you would think they would have more servers/workers. Beach amenities do not exist. There is no drinks or service at the beach. But we mostly bought from the mini market stores which were close by. Lastly there was not attraction to this place, there were no shows or Zumba in pool type events. It was just a pretty quiet at your own pace All in all we enjoyed the views, pools, pool bars and the food. This place just lacked a few amenities. But all in all great

Beautiful location and very friendly, attentive staff. Food was what we expected, loved the pools, water park and proximity to the beach. Was also nice there were excursions that left from the RIU private beach. The only thing we didn't like is no reservations for dinner. They say no line for restaurants, just show up. This is not true. One night we showed up for dinner at 7 p.m. and not one restaurant could accommodate our party of 3. They explained that you must show up before the restaurants open in order to get a table. This meant we had to wrap up our excursion or timr on the beach or pool, get ready for dinner and be in line no later than 5:30 p.m. We won't be back for that reason alone.

Great vacation- would go again! Need to switch up food menus a bit but otherwise great time!

We stayed at Casa Chameleon in Costa Rica and absolutely loved our room. It was spotless, with super comfortable beds and pillows that made it easy to relax. The highlight was definitely the stunning view. We couldn’t get enough of it! Having a private pool right outside our room made the experience even more special. It was peaceful, luxurious, and the perfect touch for our stay. Highly recommend!

Unique “treehouse” experience. Amazing forest/mountains view. It was quite of a delight to stay in such of eco-friendly environment. Great food at the Hotel Taru restaurant. Excellent customer service. Kudos to the entire staff but specially to Carlos Guzman for going above and beyond. Thank you. Pura Vida!
