Fantastic Vacation!!

We had read, from other sources, bad reviews but we were very happy with our stay. The staff were wonderful, rooms clean and well supplied. The cottages were perfect! The food was not gourmet but I wasn’t expecting that and we always had plenty to eat and drink. I would say that this resort is more for the 55+ crowd. It seemed as the entertainment crew had a bit of a hard time getting anyone to participate. I found the evening entertainment quite good especially the steel drum band.

Nice Resort

Arrived late afternoon and brought promptly to our hut (Gardenview). Was nice, clean but nothing like the pictures. 4 holes in the roof, comfortable king bed, AC worked well. Hot water was not available 2 days out of 10, no fridge in the room (they are listed as standard in every room). We asked for one but it never arrived. For reference, we saw other guests beachfront huts and also the suites which were very nice. The beachfront huts had upper lofts with twin beds and some were adjoining to th [... read more]e next hut for larger groups or families. The restaurants are good - The food was plentiful and tasty. The Snack Shack (Beach restaurant) made the best burgers! We had the Caribbean A la Carte one night, and the steak was the best I've had in years. Good Breakfast choices, and plenty of fresh fruits and veggies at all meals. Beaches were very nice, sort of a beach for every mood. The far end always had something fun going on as did the main pool area. Games, Bingo, dancing, Welcome show with a phenomenal saxophone player one day. It was very windy most days which made swimming or snorkeling challenging, but kept you from sweltering. The nightly shows were awesome! A magician enthralled the crowds one night, singers, dancers, contests. Perfect end to the day. The entertainers did a great job, they would engage you or leave you alone - they read people pretty well. The bars were all really great - however they did run out of beer 3 times to the chagrin of some of the beer-only drinkers. They would whip up any type of cocktail you asked for. The Jetty bar was a fun place with every 2nd seat as a swing at the bar. We did not do any excursions - the prices were all in US dollars and seemed very expensive. If you ventured off the resort, there was a gauntlet of private taxi drivers and "party organizers" trying to sell you even more expensive private tours. Found that if you left the resort before 9AM you could avoid them. Let me stress this was our first time in Jamaica so we were learning the ropes. It was an awesome, wonderful vacation and we have a lot to learn about this beautiful island.

Repeat Guests

First visit since Covid Have been to this resort over 20 times, Beautiful gardens, quaint cottages, wonderful staff Disappointed in food selection for the first time in all our visits-- but then got an update on the kitchen staff-- the executive chef had given notice and left late fall and no replacement hired when we were vacationing. Chef from a sister site was at hotel part time but food presentation and availability was below par. We had a great time though and will be booking again so [... read more]on.

Amazing time!

We went July 19-26th 2022. We had the most amazing experience! Perhaps the best part ( aside from the stellar ocean views and access ) was undoubtedly the staff! Amazing services and always genuine and with smiles. Special shout outs to Troy who was part of landscaping/ maintenance… his positive attitude brought a smile to our faces every single day! Also to Odette from the bar by our little beach. I believe it was called Bar Booze Liner . She was absolutely phenomenal! Also William from the  [... read more]main bar was brilliant! So happy we found this gem ! And we WILL be back..sooner rather than later!

Great place to holiday

This was our second visit to this resort. Staff is so friendly & efficient. The grounds were in beautiful shape, food is excellent and having your own little cabin is great. It is quite safe to go out of the resort to the surrounding little stores & gift shops. Although the main pool is a bit tiny & noisy we took advantage of the "quiet" adult pool at a different end of the resort.

THE Best Vacation Ever!

We wanted clean, quiet, relaxing, and great food. We got all that and more when we chose to stay at Royal Decameron Club Caribbean in Runaway Bay! From our own Bungalow to the clean beaches and friendly staff, we were so satisfied! We enjoyed everything so much that we plan to return next year!

Noisy!!!

The staff were fantastic. The food was delicious. The noise was unbearable. Day and night.We thought this resort was for us old boring people. It was way too loud!! We had to wear earplugs but that didn't work. If you are looking to stay up late and listen to very loud music...everyday and night........then this is the place for you. I'm not kidding.....ridiculous noise! Too bad because we loved our little beachfront cottage.

Awesome food and drinks!

Modest accommodations, great food and drinks, friendly staff all made for a top vacation! perfect for drinkers - but not too spring breaky! awesome relaxed crowd. entertainment was so fun, 3 small beaches feel very private.

Loved it all!

Had a great vacation. 6 of us stayed the first week of December, ocean front suite and 2 garden rooms. Check in was smooth, requested fridges were in the rooms and paid for the safe at check -in. Food was great, plenty of choices at all meals. The 2 a-la -cartes were very good, would recommend going, seatings at 6:30 & 8:30pm for the one above the Buffet and 7pm & 8:30pm for the one at the far end of the resort. Daily activities were non-stop, something for everyone at the beach, pool and b [... read more]y the tennis court for archery (big favorite on this trip!) Steel band played during supper, then the house band, daily awards were presented and then evening entertainment. The disco opened at 11pm but we didn't make it up that late. Plenty of beach chairs, new ones were being brought in, less by the pool but you'd rather be at the beach anyways. Quiet pool was nice to visit, bar right there was never busy. The swing bar (Jetty bar) on the beach was very nice. Rooms were spacious with a large washroom and walk in closet. AC worked great and even though our room was by the road we didn't hear a thing and slept vey well. Nice comfortable mattress. Enjoyed our stay and will return!

Wonderful location for my activities

Needs up date. Beautiful location, grounds and general area just great. Landscaping well-kept but dated. The front deck staff are the most welcoming on this property. Housekeeping very pleasant. The beach was a bit rough the days I spent making the water some-what cloudy. The entertainment team are priceless they are very creative. Three star hotel with a five star entertainment team. Dining room, bar and snack bar lacks leadership. You could not identify the head of the department. It wou [... read more]ld be wise to have a house representative on duty at all times, there were so many issues in the dining room and no one to who you could speak. The cook bring replacement food and have not noting that there are no plates. I spent 7 days and every days at this resort, the same issue each day, for all three meals served plates missing in salad and dessert stations and no one seemed to be concerned, when they were told it will soon come. Everyone in the dining room should be watching these areas. The hotel was not fully booked there should be extra of everything lying around. After a long wait, cold plates in the hot food section, hot plates in the cold food section. Servers picking up your utensils before you are finished. Servers not engage with guest. Ignoring people of colour and are more focus on white folks whom they think will give a bigger tip. Some meal, average but low end cut of meats. Carving skill lacking at roast station this results in a lot of waist. Recycled food items are prevalent and needs more creativity in its' presentation. This my 5th stay at this resort because of the location and it's proximity to my place of business functionality while I am in Jamaica. I have stayed at the Bahia 3 times, Rio twice , Breezes twice , Hyatt rose hall once , Sandals Negril, twice all in Jamaica . Club Caribbean best in creative entertainment. I will be visiting this resort again because of it proximity and convivence to my functionality while in Jamaica. The front desk staff are well trained very professional in their work. I had two servers that was very professional female Althea , and very tall light skin gentleman for got his name , they gave five star service. They should be training the new servers. I would recommend this location to a business, not a honeymooner or younger folks no night activity for the younger set . refrigerator in rooms would be nice.

Great Resort

I spent 6 days at the Royal Decameron Club Caribbean and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I stayed in a garden view cottage which was lovely. Very spacious and clean. The resort was very clean and all staff very friendly and helpful. The beach was lovely and the grounds well kept. The food was good and I would say there was something for everyone. I would recommend the resort for anyone who likes smaller places to stay.

Beautiful and amazing entertainment team

The beaches were beautiful, the entertainment staff were amazing and friendly! I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this resort to everyone looking to go to Montego Bay! You will not be disappointed. The food was great and was different every night

Mr kenrick Young

I think the rooms were excellent the huts I enjoyed the huts very much. Wi-Fi service was very poor. Oh that the Cameron can get the wi-fi system fix so that we can use it in the room. Overall I think that the place was enjoyable.

Wonderful resort

Excellent vacation at Royal Decameron Club Caribbean. Clean, friendly and well staffed would definitely book another vacation at this resort. Cannot add to my comments above I think they say it all.

Low key

This was a nice place the rooms were lovely as was the staff. They seemed to be understaffed though which was frustrating for the few staff members. The beach was gorgeous, but the food could have been better.

Good Resort-had fun

Every room is a cabana, which I thought was cool! The grounds were well maintained- there were always workers around. And the hammocks along the one side were great to lounge in!! Typical island food at the buffet every day. Bit of variety, but basaically the same items every day. Beaches were great- there were 3 separate beaches, so there were always chairs and umbrellas available- bonus! AC in my cabana worked wonderfully. Always had hot water for my shower. Staff is friendly...very friendl [... read more]y if you're a single woman 😉 Good excursions offered at reasonable prices. Went in June, was hot every day and not a drop of rain for the entire week! Would definitely return to this resort, I think.

Not so great stay

Food was great. Restaurant and bar staff were awesome. The cleaning people however took liberties and helped themselves to my daughters makeup, her hair straightener (which later mysteriously showed up..when we previously looked EVERYWHERE) I lost money out of my purse. My friend Christina also lost money. One of our students lost underwear. And another person in our group also lost money. I’ll go back to Jamaica but not that resort.

Royal Decameron

Staff were friendly especially Pauline in housekeeping. Rooms were in good condition and ground were well kept, over all resort was clean and well maintained. Buffet always had something for everyone but if you chose to eat later during the seating sometimes selections were limited.

Good Resort

Grounds and building were very well kept. Cottages were amazing. Service was good. Beach was great. Pool was very small. Food was good. Little disappointed that nobody brought drinks to you. Front desk staff was great. Internet worked great
