Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Le Cameleon offers a unique experience with its blend of minimalist style and natural surroundings. Guests often spot wildlife like monkeys and sloths directly on the property, and some rooms feature decks with views ideal for observing local wildlife. The hotel boasts two pools and beachfront amenities where waiters provide service; however, the road dividing the property requires caution. A highlight for many is the breakfast buffet, featuring fresh eggs, a wide assortment of luscious fruits and juices.

Wonderful Stay!

local wildlife beautiful beaches excellent staff room deck

I saw monkeys and sloths right on the hotel. The beaches nearby offered beautiful scenery and tranquility. The staff addressed all my requests. I especially appreciated the extra coffee! My room's deck provided a nice view for observing the local wildlife, both visually and audibly.

The road divides the hotel in two parts. This requires extra caution when travelling with children.

The room included a very large separate living room. A half bath provided extra convenience. The cleaning staff maintained the cleanliness of the room very well.

The air conditioning unit made some noise at 4 AM so I turned it off.

beach location friendly staff good breakfast pool maintenance terrible pillow room quality

The location is good because the hotel is on the beach. The staff was friendly. Breakfast was varied and very good. The access to the beach was nice.

The pool need some maintenance. The 'Hot' tub is the same temperature as the pool. The rooms aren't beautiful and lack quality. The pillows was terrible.
