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.
