Birthday celebration for niece. Family oriented vacation spot but very long to get there from San Jose airport. The breakfast was delicious with vegan options such as fresh fruits, veggies and rice & beans. Internet was good however our TV never worked. The Calypsos night was fantastic.

Traveling in this part of the world, you sometimes need a vacation from your vacation, a place where everything works and you can take care of whatever lingering discomfort or business that obtains, reliably and without strife. WiFi is excellent all over the faculty, air conditioning is wonderful, beds comfortable and staff is bilingual. The location is a bit too far to walk to town, although there are a couple of great restaurants nearby. The breakfast buffet is nicely extravagant, so you could let it serve for both breakfast and lunch.

The staff was excellent. Diego was very friendly and gave us great recommendations for excursions and restaurants. He went above and beyond and is an asset to Le Cameleon. David was also very friendly and full of good advice. Also Brady and Cindy. The gardens all around were beautiful. The restaurant was delicious.
