Excelente vista al mar y noches super relajadas con los show de fin de semana
Pros:

El desayuno fue promedio, no tenia mucha variedad
El almuerzo y cena fueron buenos y los show que pude ver en las noches no los esperaba, hicieron mi estadía muy agradable
La ubicación del hotel y la vista al mar son excelentes

Cons:

Las instalaciones son muy bonitas pero les falta un poco de mantenimiento y de poner foco a detalles de comfort.
La playa estaba sucia con troncos y muchas hojas, fuimos caminando a la playa del costado y estaba muy buena.

Birthday trip with the girls!
Pros:

Le Cameleon was the greatest treasure of our trip. We stayed in an oceanfront suite and loved it. It was spacious and well equipped. The staff at le Chameleon was outstanding , especially David. We loved the breakfast buffet and the wait staff.

Espectacular 5 estrellas, pero necesita renovación urgente
Pros:

Instalaciones hermosas y ubicación espectacular, ideal para ocasiones especiales.
• Personal súper amable; para el cumpleaños de mi hermana nos pusieron globos, ¡increíble!
• Comida y cócteles deliciosos; la estancia fue espectacular en general.

Cons:

Habitaciones muy deterioradas con olor a humedad, necesitan renovación urgente.
• El agua se cortó dos veces, inaceptable para un 5 estrellas a 300€ por noche.
A pesar de todo, fue memorable, pero estos fallos restan mucho.

A Disappointing Stay
Pros:

We were extremely disappointed with our experience at Le Cameleon Hotel. The maintenance of the physical property, both inside and outside, are inferior.
For example, the toilet seat in our bathroom was the wrong size for the toilet and, although it was adjusted , did not stay in place. One of our sinks did not drain properly and a plumber had to come up and fix that along with the toilet seat. The hand-held shower in our bathroom was difficult to use even after the maintenance man came to our room.
The pools and hot tub all had green algae-like stains along the edges, and the path of wood planks from the hotel rooms to the street was worn and quite slippery at times.
While our room looked to have been recently painted, dried white paint drips were quite noticeable and had not been removed.
To be told that we could not flush used toilet paper down the toilet and that we should not ever turn off the air conditioning was quite surprising and rather disconcerting, at the very least!
In spite of all of this, David, the front desk manager, was extremely pleasant and tried to be helpful. Also, the staff at the restaurant was pleasant efficient. Unfortunately, the quality of the breakfasts was mediocre at best.
During our stay, on a couple of evenings we had dinner at restaurants of other hotels, and they seemed to be better maintained.
Sorry to write such a negative review.

Ausgezeichnetes Hotel mit super Personal, der total verdreckte, unbenützbare Strand trübt das Bild.
Pros:

Super Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Gute Parkmöglichkeit. Schöne Pools. frühstück sehr gut und ausreichend.

Cons:

Schöner Strand total verdreckt und nicht benutzbar. Voll mit angeschwemmtem Treibholz und Seetang. wird nicht weggeräumt. Total unverständlich für so ein Tophotel. Es gibt viel bessere öffentliche Strände in der Nähe. Daher die schlechtere Bewertung sonst wäre es 10.

Agradable
Pros:

La cercanía a la playa, actividades en la cena muy agradables y la comida de la cena muy buena.

Cons:

Cuando entramos a la habitación olía mucho a cloro, queda claro que si estaba muy limpia la habitación, pero muy fuerte el olor y no había suficiente espacio para poner la ropa (armarios)

Great vacay in the sunshine ☀️
Pros:

This hotel is in a great location and overall we enjoyed our stay. We were in villa rm 001 one so on the ocean side. There were two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a living room and a patio. It was very spacious, but looking a bit tired. Could use some updating.
We enjoyed both of the pools and the hot tub was a real bonus! The ocean is really not swimming in this location, but pretty nonetheless.
A breakfast buffet was included, but it was the same every day - could’ve used some variety.
We had drinks a few times and they were very good and the sushi is surprisingly tasty at the restaurant

Lo mejor de Limon es su gente
Pros:

The Caribbean never disappoints and neither does Le Camaleón Hotel
It's nice to come back after so many years and meet familiar faces, with people committed to a purpose, to an idea, to a passion.
Beautiful facilities and smiles from all its staff make this place simply perfect, thanks, Aramis, Heidi, Rolo, Jordy, John, Lisseth, Jorge and everyone, everyone who works at this Hotel.
Le Camaleon hotel is fortunate to have people like you
The best thing about Le Camaleon is its people
See you next time

POR ENCIMA DEL RESTO.
Pros:

El estilo Minimalista dentro de la naturaleza.

Cons:

La limpieza de las piscinas y problemas con el agua caliente en el jacuzzi y en la ducha, la alta gama del hotel requiere más compromiso de mantenimiento y auto control de calidad.
