Casa Chameleon Las Catalinas

What the classifiers highlight

Twenty-one villas step down a cliff above Las Catalinas, a planned beach village on Costa Rica's northwest coast, each with its own saltwater plunge pool and a view of the Pacific. MICHELIN puts its guest score at 19.8 out of 20 and names Sentido Norte, the cliffside restaurant, for farm-to-table lunches and an ocean-to-table dinner menu.
