Le Cameleon

Tropical forest encircles Le Cameleon, placing the 58-room hotel within a short walking distance of the sands at Cocles Beach in Costa Rica. The grounds feature three outdoor swimming pools, an on-site spa, and direct access to a private beach area.

Playa Cocles and the Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge both sit 0.1 kilometers from the property, while Juan Santamaria International Airport is 234.6 kilometers away. Staff arrange off-site excursions to Cahuita National Park, the Kekoldi Indigenous Reserve, cocoa plantations, and sloth sanctuaries, as well as canopy tours and dolphin-watching trips. On site, Gigi Beach cooks creative international and Mediterranean dishes in a beachfront setting overlooking the gardens. Guests can order drinks at the main bar, the beach bar, or the poolside bar.

Three outdoor swimming pools stay open from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM across the garden grounds. Deep among the foliage, the Jungle Spa delivers facials, body scrubs, wraps, and massages. On the shore, daily options run from beach volleyball and beach yoga sessions to renting bicycles for local rides along the coast.

Guests frequently praise the attentive and welcoming staff, along with the location near the beach and natural jungle surroundings. Many reviewers also highlight the quality of the breakfast buffet, while appreciating the room setup. However, multiple guests report issues with room humidity, dated spaces, and a need for ongoing maintenance.
