I loved the room and the service. All of the front desk people were extremely nice and helpful. I even had an issue due to using my passport as collateral to rent a moped and the shop closed early on Sundays (which I wasn't aware of). We were dud to leave early Monday morning and they weee able to get ahold of the rental shop and help me get my passport. We really enjoyed our stay at Le Cameleon.
