I am thinking of going here and I would like to stay at Casa Chameleon. I am thinking about Anguilla too, but I sort of think Mal Pais looks really charming as well.

Do they book up really fast? I tried contacting them in e-mail, but they don't get back to me to too fast. I am hoping they have something in March or April. How is around there at this time?

I noticed they don't have a restaurant, just a chef. Does anyone know if they're expensive? I mean, I looked at Anguilla restaurant menus and most of them seem pretty expensive.

Also how does drinks work? I like to have a few cocktails on the beach. If they don't have a restaurant, will I be able to get drinks from anywhere nearby? Don't mean to sound like an alcoholic, but this is to relax!

I thin they fill up VERY fast, I'm trying to book them for a few nights in March for my honeymoon, but they told us they're not taking reservations for that time until November. As far as I know they no longer have a buisness phone as the calls were taking up too much of their time, so they just make reservations via e-mail/fax.

There are lots of great reviews on TripAdvisor that may answer some of your questions.

Yeah, they don't seem to be e-mailing me back. They did answer my first e-mail about availability in May, but they hadn't said anything about having to wait until November to book.

I am still trying to choose between this and Anguilla, but I don't even have a clue what my options are to stay there. I don't have a specific week in mind, so I was trying to see when they have openings.

Casa Chameleon is incredible! We just returned from our 2nd stay there. The first was last year for our honeymoon and then just recently for our 1 year anniversary. I've never been anwhere like it and we hope to return every year!

With that said, it is not for "resort types" that want to get drunk around a swim up bar or something. There is nothing wrong with that if it's what you're in to but if that's your deal, Cancun would be a better choice. They have created a place that is amazingly private and romantic.

They serve breakfast but other than that you need to book one of their chefs for other meals. We actually only booked the chef for one night because the restaurants around there are great. Everything is so fresh. We had lobster at a local place with drinks and appetizer and I think the bill came to only $30 total! The chef was really worth it though too. For 4 amazing courses it was $100 total. This is less than we spent on a so-so dinner at Florblanco. That was without any alcohol though. We had our own bottle of wine. Pretty good wine from Chile that we bought for $10 at the grocery store down the street.

Oh, you DEFINITELY want a car or ATV. We loved the ATV. But you have to have something to get around down there. We didn't at first on our first visit even though they told us this. We were lucky that they were able to get us an ATV. I think it cost about $50 a day. It was so worth it. We had so much fun traveling around on it.

There is an adorable restaurant bar on the beach down the street from Casa Chamelon, Azul something that we ate and had sunset drinks.

Its not easy to give a good description of Casa Chameleon because its different than most places.Thank God! It's like you have your own little private house hanging in the jungle. With views of jungle and the beach that are breathtaking. But they have hotel service. Like telling you the best places to go and what to do,maid service,beach towels, snorkle stuff. Alot of extras. They don't have a restaurant but we were really glad because that kept the place very private. We felt like we were the only ones there even though there were other guests. We had service when we wanted but privacy the rest of the time. It was perfect for us who don't like a bunch of annoying people that we don't know around.

It is a really small place. They were building this crazy luury villa with its own big pool in August. But even with that they will only have 3 villas. So for sure they book up fast.

I hope this helps with your questions. In my opinion it's one of the most perfect places I've ever seen or been to.

Thanks for all the info!

No, we are not looking to party and get drunk. We don't like places like that, and especially is why we don't ever want to go to an all-inclusive when food and drinks are included. We just like to relax with a drink sometimes.
