Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in beautiful Puerto Viejo, right on the beach, offering access to various activities nearby. The rooms are clean and modern, but the lack of floor tiles and slow water flow were minor inconveniences. The service is provided by a friendly and accommodating staff with a range of useful amenities. While the dining experience had some drawbacks like soggy bacon, the diverse food options and beautiful restaurant setting were enjoyable.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of enchantment and concern. The small terrace overlooking the dense tropical jungle gave me a magical feeling, but the lack of floor tiles in the rooms felt like a safety hazard. The location, right across the stunning Cocles beach, was perfect but being slightly away from the center made dining out expensive. The service from the owner was exceptional, and the food was nice, but the dining experience was hindered by insects. Overall, embedded in a jungle garden, the hotel is a unique experience for nature lovers.
I stayed at Le Cameleon for 5 days and had a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, although a bit run-down and could use a renovation, were spacious with all the amenities, including a great terrace. The service was amazing, with the staff being nice and welcoming, making my stay enjoyable. The location was really beautiful and allowed me to explore the whole coast of Limon, although it was slightly overpriced. The dining experience was excellent, with plenty of options and very good service. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall positive experience.
The hotel has spotless white rooms that are comfortable and quiet, with a well-priced and flavorful restaurant offering an outstanding breakfast with fresh omelets, fruits, and meats included. However, there are issues with the air conditioning noise, a bad smell in the bathroom, and initial light problems upon arrival.
The hotel is surrounded by the jungle, offering a beautiful setting where you can explore the whole coast of Limon if you have a car. The rooms are spacious, overlooking one of the two pleasant swimming pools, although the proximity to road and foot traffic can be noisy. The service is exceptional, with super friendly and informative staff always ready to assist. The dining options are good but could use more variety. The overall value for money is reasonable considering the amenities and location.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, despite being surrounded by a tropical garden and offering extras like tours, felt outdated and more like motel rooms. The color accents added some charm with throw pillows, but overall, the decor seemed old-fashioned. The service was good but lacked attention to detail, like not enforcing rules at the adult pool. The location was stunning, nestled in the rainforest, near the Jaguar Rescue Center, making it a relaxing and enjoyable stay. However, dining options were minimal for the price class, though the setting was beachfront.
