We went because we saw great reviews— and oh are we so glad that we listed to other travelers!!! This place is awesome!!! Driver was our server for both breakfast and when we came back for drinks. He had great recommendations and was so kind...and smiley. We felt welcomed at the hotel too and thought about the day pass if we had more time. In our future trips to Costa Rica, we will be back to both the restaurant and the hotel. Amazing views, great customer service, tasty food and all-in-all a great experience.More

my boyfriend and I came here to enjoy the sunset and have a nice dinner. We were quickly greeted by Diego who took care of us the entire night. Diego was not only attentive and helpful, but provided us with recommendations and a friendly smile....He asked for our names, and after that - it felt like we were family. He was with us throughout the entire journey. Please stop by if you’re in the area, you will not regret it.More

This spot is perfect for good drinks, food, and spectacular sunset views. My husband and I dined in for our anniversary and it was nothing short of perfect! The food was amazing, service was top tier, and you just can’t beat the view!!!

Let me start off with the environment, Siento Norte at casa chameleon is one of the most lovely places a couple can be. The food it top tier and service is amazing, our server Diego was absolutely the best. His service and attitude made the...experience that much more enjoyable. To start he was attentive and welcoming, this made my girlfriend and I completely comfortable. Diego was a charismatic friendly person who made the experience that much better. As someone who has been in the restaurant industry for 9 years and 2 as a manager I would love to have a “Diego” working for me. The views from the restaurant were absolutely stunning. The service/food wait time was nothing but perfect the chefs had the meal out within 10-15 minutes. I will be coming back asap this restaurant was a 10/10!!!More

This place is amazing with a beautiful view of the sunset. The food was absolutely delicious but most of all the service from Diego was magnificent. He truly knows the menu well and he chose our plates (what he recommended) and every hit spot on....The appetizer, dinner, and dessert. He provided amazing, attentive and joyful service. Will definitely come back again AND ask for Diego :)More

Had drinks and dinner here! The food was delicious and the service was great! Unfortunately was a cloudy day so did not get a chance to see the sunset, but the views were beautiful regardless!

I had read the reviews and had been told that the views were amazing, but pictures just don’t do it justice!! You have to experience it for yourself. The service, music and ambience are wonderful. Highly recommend for a date night

Truly gorgeous setting. Outstanding service, with smooth hand-offs between check-in, front of house, and primary server. Diego took care of me during the meal, and was attentive, friendly, and had excellent suggestions to accommodate my dietary preferences.

Average dinner for my wife and I was about $60-$75 US. I enjoyed all of the choices from the Catch of the Day to the Steaks. Enjoy a drink before at the bar, wonderful and very relaxing.
