Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great Location!

We have been going to his resort for the past 10 years. We love the location, right on the ocean, we love the friendly staff, the cleanliness everywhere, rooms, pools, grounds, facilities, and the lovely little town of Bucerias, walking distance from the resort.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Fantastic Trip

This was our first time to this resort and we will definitely return. Our stay at Decameron exceeded our expectations. The resort was very clean and the beds were quite comfortable. The room was made up fresh everyday and we had lots of bottled water. The mini fridge worked great and kept our ice frozen. Overall the food was very good and no complaints whatsoever. However, the red wine was inconsistent, but ok. We will bring a couple bottles of our own next time. The employees were all  [... read more]fantastic and very friendly. The ocean was awesome to look at but a bit rough for swimming (for our liking). The fact that this resort has several pools and bars is a real plus. The staff work hard to keep them well maintained and clean. A plus for the resort was the friendly gentleman operating the pottery painting opportunity. Many people spent countless hours enjoying painting their pieces. We have never seen this at a resort before and we really enjoyed it. The iguanas were wonderful to watch and quite entertaining. The only downfall to the whole trip, which is no fault of the resort, was that we got "tricked" into a conversation at the airport; someone selling excursions, which was really a timeshare scam. We got taken for $120 USD. - Beware! Live and Learn.

Grand Decameron Panama: It’s just okay

The grounds are nice but VERY big. And you can’t avoid huge staircases. I actually liked this because it helped me rack up about 13,000 steps per day without even trying. Never did we take the van anywhere on the property. And the grounds really are lovely—especially at night. There are many beautiful pools and a long, walkable beach. Unfortunately, to get a Palapa on the beach or around the pool, one needs to be up and mark their territory by 6:45 AM. Seriously. By 7 AM, almost all of the c [... read more]hairs are taken, some never to be revisited again until noon. This chair game is played at many resorts we have been to, but it seems to be really bad here. I’m not sure what the answer is, but for late risers it was very frustrating. The food is also, in my opinion, “meh”. We weren’t really even impressed with most of the à la cartes—IF you can get them! You need to come to the lobby EARLY to book (might as well scope out your lounge chair at the same time!). My husband went down to book once at 6:45 a.m. and was number 28 in line. By the time they called his number, the only spot available for dinner was 8:30 pm. And, to be honest, the only food that I thought was exceptional was the burger at Cowboy Restaurant. It really is all it’s cracked up to be! But nothing else really “wowed“ me. And I’m really the furthest thing from a foodie. But I was just often disappointed. I found the steak grizzly and almost inedible. I had salmon once and it was dry and overcooked. The starters in most of the à la cartes were buffet, which kind of negates the purpose of an à la carte. Also, cats and dogs roam through the restaurant. While this is something that I don’t really mind because I love animals, I really don’t think it’s appropriate. Now for the amenities. The rooms are very sparse. Toilet paper is single ply and scratchy.They do not provide body cream or shower gel or a shower cap. And we had to fight to get more than two towels (for both of us—only two are provided). And there are no face cloths. But these are all things you can just bring yourself so not a big deal but worth mentioning for those planning what to bring. The staff are very nice but many don’t speak English at all. I can speak a little Spanish and a little French so I got by, but if you are relying solely on English, you may have a bit of a problem. But when we did have an issue (for example, with the air-conditioning and our balcony door), it was fixed within the hour! Great service! It’s definitely not a bad place. It’s just you need to manage your expectations. I wouldn’t recommend it to any of my friends who like ‘upscale’ luxury trips. But on a budget, it’s definitely better than Cuba. But I think the standards are better in most resort destinations I have visited in Mexico. But, to be fair, Mexico has become much pricier since Covid. It’s also not the turquoise water of the Caribbean. But the water was calm and they have lifeguards on the beach which is definitely reassuring. The pools are wonderful for the kids though and, of course, the water slides are great fun. If we had to rate it out of 10, my husband and I both agree it’s about a 6.5.

Decameron Maryland: Très bon resort

Location, services et le peuple. Possibilité de voir beaucoup différant culture. Les nourritures traditionnelle délicieux .La beauté de la nature et la facilité d'accès à toutes services. Le sentiment de sécurité et de tranquillité d'esprit

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Good budget resort

Food was ok, rooms were alright, however there are no elevators except in one building. If you were to end up on the 4th floor there is alot of stair climbing. Nice short walk to Bucerias Centro square with lots of shopping, bands playing and awesome street tacos.

Grand Decameron Panama: Fell a little short for us

We were prepared for dated rooms, but found most of the resort "tired" and in need of a facelift, from the lobby/lobby bar to the buffet restaurants to the rooms and some pools. We have travelled to many places and don't stay anywhere fancy but this resort was by far the most in need of work. Room was smaller than many resorts we've been to and we found it dark and a bit dingy. We wouldn't care, it's somewhere to sleep but there was visible dirt on the floor, things left behind by previous gue [... read more]sts and a patio door that only my husband could open by lifting and shimmy-ing it over - I couldn't move it at all. We also had an "incident" with housekeeping, which was a first for us (and again, we travel a lot). Adjoining rooms can be loud (heard every word from our neighbors). Very poor service (absolutely none our first night, had to clean our own table to sit and weren't offered a drink at all and usually had to get up and go ask for tea and coffee in the mornings) at the buffets. Minimal selection of food. The beach is beautiful, no rocks or weeds in the water. However when we were there, if you weren't down to get a chair by about 7-7:30am, you might not find anything. Could use more palapas for shade and lots more chairs. Our room was closest to the middle pool and it was very crowded for the size of it, and could also use more shade. We felt that had we been able to book or upgrade to Plus, we would have had a vastly different experience, with a few more pools (and nicer looking pools) and restaurants to choose from. Bartenders were great, beach snack bar had good food and service, proximity to the airport is a big plus. We made the most of our time but I don't think this is a resort that we would return to.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great resort

I visited this resort 18yrs ago, I must say not much has changed, just some fresh paint. We really enjoyed it again. Everything is clean, staff are friendly and helpful and the food was great. I only have one complaint, the à la carte booking was ridiculous having to line up early in the morning just to try to book and you could only book for the day of. The recommended App did not work. We never ate at an à la carte as I was not wasting a few hours of our holiday standing in line.

Decameron Baru Beach Resort and Spa: Big beautiful resort.

The facilities are well laid out at this spectacular location. We selected superior accommodations and it was well worth it. Specialty restaurants every night. The food at the buffet and the restaurants were excellent and we are foodies. Service was excellent throughout. The beach is simple and accommodating. There are four spectacular pools.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: First Time All Inclusive

I’ve never been to an all inclusive resort previously and I would definitely look for a different set of qualities in a resort next time. I found the hotel clean, the staff friendly and the overall environment very inviting. The food was consistent but pretty bland for my liking. The alcohol served was poor and I’m pretty sure watered down. I don’t drink much but when I do I would like a premium alcohol which isn’t watered down. I purchased my own beer from the local grocery store as a result. [... read more] I did notice other patrons had done the same.

Decameron Isla Coral: Good beach. Terrible food. Friendly staff

We stayed at Decameron Isla Coral on Jan 7 - 14, 2026. The hotel is nice, the rooms and facilities are clean. The staff is friendly and happy to assist. I would call this place a hotel and not a resort. The hotel lacks many of the amenities that other resorts have (a coffee shop, more restaurants, better entertainment, gym, spa, etc.). The rating on Trip Central is 4 stars. I agree with Trip Advisor, it's a 3 star at the most. We were very disappointed with the food at the buffet. It's proba [... read more]bly the worst selection, quality and quantity we have even seen at a Mexican resort. Some of the salads, snacks and desserts were typically set out on small plates that quickly ran out. Most of the time, they were never replaced. There were almost no desserts to speak of. The entertainment at night was karaoke almost every night. The bar is very small with no more than 10-15 tables. We ended up going into town to walk around and eat at the local places. Mostly to eat something tastier or better. The highlight of the place for us was the beach. It's clean and great to swim or board. We also enjoyed the many beach vendors on the beach (if you don't mind that). You could buy fresh seafood or anything for that matter. We really enjoyed going out to town at night and trying different foods or shopping the many stalls or larger markets. The place feels safe and welcoming at any time of the day or night. Overall, we had a good week. I don't think we'll ever return to this place though.

Decameron La Marina: Decameron la marina

Thank you to the staff as they were excellent. The hotel was clean and well kept. Rooms are spacious. Lobby bar could be kept open later allowing older people to stay away from sports bar.was way too loud .Need to tone the volume down as it echos in design of hotel. Food was hood but needs more variety in evenings from day to day. Use of the other decameron hotels within walking distance is a plus. Would rate it a 3+ stay

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Very Disappointing

Food was cold and poor selection. Salad bar always good. Very limited staff everywhere- Canadian Club Rye only 2 days !! Never had this happen any resort in Mexico Few English speaking staff--even bar tenders. Loud speakers We will not return to Grand Decameron Bucerias.

Grand Decameron Panama: Great stay

The resort facilities were clean and the rooms comfortable. There are many pools to enjoy. Some pools had activities and others were quiet ones which were great for lounging. The beach is large and sandy. Some parts of the sand are a bit rough, from new shells and the water gets deep (waist level) with only a few steps in. The selection at buffet varied and tasted good. A la carte restaurants were good,but reservations were not possible every night.

The resort is very close to the airport (less than 10 minutes drive) but doesn't have anything else around. This resort has quite a lot of stairs (to buffet, lobbies, pool and rooms) so not ideal for persons with mobility challenges.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: My home away from home!

This is not a five-star hotel which is fine with me, I don't require that. Overall the staff and the service are outstanding, rooms are adequate and food could use Improvement. Still a good deal for the price.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Another stay at Grand Decameron

Ideal if one has mobility issues. Lots of level walking and ramps. Staff are friendly and helpful. Everything is kept clean. Food is great and always something to eat. Pretty much serve the same things daily so it gets boring if you stay for longer periods of time. I do miss cream for my coffee. They only offer milk. Never went hungry though.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Pickleball crazy

Decameron Los cocos is 1.5-2 hrs north of puerto Vallarta airport. A very good free tour of country side and towns along the way. Hotel is submerged in Guayabitos on west side. Meals are very good clean rooms and just the rooster calling at 0530 to tell us it is time to go pickleball. We pack a coffee thermos , a covered drinking cup and a large water bottle , get filled at bars or restaurants. No garbage from us made. On the weekends the town comes alive Mexican style with hundreds of national [... read more]s vacationing on the coast We sailed two times , kayaked twice and walked the 4 km beach numerous times in between throwing a frisbee. There is no sunrise or set at the cocos hotel. The best is the stay and play at three sister hotels. Alacarts varied throughout the week. The use of washrooms bars and restaurants at all three a very big bonus. Our day started at 0430 , dressed and coffee on board with a breakfast grabbed from buffet the day before. 40 min walk to east side of Guayabitos where a pickleball club is playing at 0630. Very reasonable rates very welcoming. To the hotel. Build a trough at beach to stop sand from tracking everywhere 16 x 4 in deep x12 feet long save water Move bar in snack bar to east wall , feed beach people at side bar stop sand from tracking everywhere. I saw too many windows open drapes open and air conditioner running very wasteful of power The staff are beautiful hard working and very friendly. Loved our stay.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Disappointing after 6 previous visits!

The staff was very friendly, and the resort itself is beautiful. But the Mexican charm of brightly coloured buildings is missing. Unfortunately, there were far too many iguanas around the pool area. On one occasion, an iguana got into the pool, left droppings, and the pool had to be closed for 2½ hours. Iguanas were also in the surrounding trees, and our lounge chairs were soiled three separate times. More shade is definitely needed as well. Another issue was the lack of available loungers.  [... read more]Many times, there were none available anywhere on the property, even when towels had clearly been removed. The new lounge chairs at many of the pools were wonderful, but more are needed so one doesn't need to an air mattresses for comfort. The food was disappointing. Pizza, fries, soup, and other items were often cold or barely warm. Cooked vegetables, potatoes, whole salmon, and bacon were undercooked. Additionally, there needs to be more variety in protein options. We had requested a room on a lower floor, due to my elderly mother walking with a cane. When we arrived the room allocated was on a third floor. It took quite some time to find another available. We were given the top floor in Block 3 which had an elevator. The following morning, the elevator did not work. It was fixed late afternoon. Our room had no cold water the first 3 days. The shower water would get extremely hot quickly so one had to be careful not to get scalded. On day 3 this got fixed. Then the following day we had no hot water. Day 5 onward everything worked! The nightly shows didn't start until 9:30. It would be wonderful to have them earlier because there is no chance of an early evening in with the volume of the show - even with earplugs. (Not in Block 3.) On a positive note, transportation to and from the resort with Nexus was quick! Unfortunately, the food was such a major issue that I will no longer be recommending this resort.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Best Bangalore for your buck

Although a bit dated the staff makes this resort great!!! Unfortunately in the last 2 years the new ownership has seen fit to repaint the resort with boring beige. The previous bright colors made this place so charming. The food has also become a bit repetitive Overall a friendly family resort reasonably priced. I would give it a 3 star
