After hours (days?) of obssessing, we've now narrowed down our choices for an adults-only get away in Costa Rica to these three properties. We're leaning toward Casa Chameleon. It consistently gets rave reviews in this forum (Thanks volcanogirl!) while there is little about the other two properties on this forum. Is there anyone out there who has actually stayed at GAIA or Oxygen? Any comments/criticisms? We've been to CR four times, so this trip is less about the country and more about the hotel, the food, and the spa. I'd be particulalry interested in comparisions of the food and the accomodations. Thanks to all

Thanks qwovadis. Arenas del Mar looks great but we are specifically looking for adults only. We hate to take a break from our kids and end up dining and lounging next to someone else's kids (who may even be worse than ours!)/ We hope to stay at the Four Seasons one day, but it's out of our price range.

Well you know I want you to stay at Casa Chameleon, so you can give us the scoop. It looks amazing and always gets rave reviews.

We're definitely leaning toward Casa Chameleon (although I'm going to research Arenas del Mar more!). The views from the villas seem much better than Gaia, and I haven't received any feedback on Oxygen. We like the smaller setting; our only concern is whether it might be too small. We don't like huge resorts, but we do like to see folks at dinner or at the pool every now and again.

Ok, now we have to decide between Jungle Suite at Arenas del Mar (Ocean Superior not available and Ocean Suite too pricey) or Suite at Gaia. We are not mandating adults only b/c it seems to rule out too many places. Please help! This is a close call!

Thanks
