Top 10 Malpais hotels and places to stay

Hotel Casa Chameleon Mal Pais - Adults Only

4.0 star property
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (71)
"Beautifully appointed rooms with private plunge pool and view of ocean. Staff very courteous. Breakfasts included in rate were excellent. We ate dinner at the hotel most nights for convenience and because the food and service was good. The main drawback of this hotel is that it is too far away from Santa Teresa and the main beaches to walk so you need to book taxis ( $20 each way), rent an ATV or rent a car. "
