The stay was ok, but I forgot my wedding rings in the room and I’ve been trying to reach out to hotel for two days to inform about the courier that will come to pick my stuff up. They care about you only on the stage of booking. After, it’s impossible to get anything from them.

Le Cameleon is a nice hotel. It does need major updates, especially in the pool area. The staff is very nice and helpful. I would only go with white bedding, towels etc if they are going to remain white. The restaurant is very nice and so is the staff, the staff is wonderful actually. If you pay for the breakfast ahead you go to the buffet which is very good.

Everything was perfect with our stay. This is a beautiful property and I appreciated having Gigi beach Restaurant right across from the hotel. We had to make ourselves go and try other food because we would eat and drink there everyday. Also, the private beach entrance is beautiful. The hotel has security all day at the entrance of the property so we felt safe coming home late.

Beautiful hotel
One of the most beautiful hotels I have been staying. Impeccable on the details. Friendly staff. Good location, 10 minutes from the center of Puerto Viejo. Excellent for toddlers. Good amenities. My only suggestion is about the breakfast, it is not so good, but not a problem you have many options near by. In general an unforgettable experience. Definitely I’ll be back.

We spent the last 4 days of our two week Costa Rica trip at this hotel. We had a large suite on the beachside. We felt it was modern, clean and comfortable. We didn’t even go to the main pool on the other side of the property because the beachside had 2 pools. One of them seemed to need a little TLC and we never saw one person over there. No bar or food service there, just a small pool with some chairs. It never felt too crowded and we always found a good shaded beach bed to spend the day. The staff was also lovely although the first day, it did seem like the bartender was not excited to be there and we were inconveniencing him. But otherwise the staff was great. I only gave 4 stars to the area around the property because I do think they could liven up that one beachside pool and upgrade the beach lounger chairs which seemed old and worn out.
