Great 10 days at royal decameron Cornwall!

Just returned home Dec 1 2022 from royal decameron Cornwall Beach. Many original employees and met the new ones. Food great and good variety. Rooms maintained and cleaned as they were pre-covid. Several sanitize stations throughout and all food preparer wore masks. No issues with Beach towels. In bed early so cannot comment on night shows. Beach area very clean. Bars fully stocked. Manager and general manager very visible and ready to address any concerns or suggestions. My 8th time at [... read more] this resort and will continue to recommend it. It remains a 4 star hotel in my opinion, but give it 5 stars for this rating. My only negative comment is they now allow the decameron resort next door full access to the beach, bar, and food service. During busy times, this may be a problem for Beach spots and chairs. During my stay it was not a problem. I have read several bad reviews from previous months, but did not find them to be true. I will return in February... I hope. Steve McGregor Hamilton, Ontario

Ok

The resort was “ok”. Buffet repeated itself and there are only 2 a la carte restaurants that do not change their menu. Bottled water is extremely hard to come by … the room fridge was sometimes stocked however only 2 cokes, 2 beer and maybe 2 bottles of water. Bathroom towels were also scarce. Calling the front desk, although very nice - your request was never actioned. We had no wifi in our room and yet everywhere else on the property was fine.

Beach was amazing but hotel was just OK

The hotel was situated on a beautiful beach with white sand and clear water, really close to the airport. You can sit there all day and just watch the planes come in. Very peaceful. It was not overly packed, so there was no need to fight for beach chairs in the morning or line up at buffets. All the rooms were beach front. What the hotel lacked was the food. They are always out and they don't replenish. I've never been to a resort where at a la carte restaurant, they only had 3 of the 8 selectio [... read more]n available. Nor have I ever seen them run out of bacon at 8am, when the restaurant opened at 7. Also, having been to Jamaica multiple times in the past; there have always been a jerk hut that gave you jerk chicken and fries for 2/3 hours a day. This resort did not have much local food. Other than their Jamaican night". Overall it was an ok trip. Would I recommend it to others, I guess it would depend on why you are there - if you don't care about the food and is there for the beaches, I would definitely suggest it. But if you are going to enjoy the food, then no.

Amazing staff !

This resort is an older property needs major updating to rooms bathrooms the water doesn't flow properly the shower leaks on to the floor outside! Lighting is poor on vanity sad looking vanity and sinks ! Outside the gardens need new plants paths are uneven and broken . Pool area needs major improvement bar is tiny long lineup for drinks staff is amazing though 👌 the cushions and seating is worn out and thin you can feel the hard seat through the tatty old cushions! Dining area really bad sea [... read more]ts needs new furniture throughout not much options for food very limited dishes same everyday almost,if you need a coffee it's very hard to get one in the evening coffee bar closes really early and non in dining room in evening. Specialty restaurant very small choice of dishes wine is absolutely awfull no one was drinking it after they tried it once ! The worst I have ever tasted 😩 The only thing that made it okay was the staff ! Beach staff excellent! Entertainment staff great as well as all the serving staff and cleaning staff thanks to them for making my stay enjoyable

Would not come again

My husband and I went to this hotel from the 7th-11th of April. The good things about the hotel are 1) They have a drink menu with some awesome drinks 2)Entertainment Crew was great 3)The beach is absolutely beautiful 4) Pool is very nice 5) Resort is clean 6) Food is great and nice variety 7) Love the Coffee Bar above the lobby. Now to the negative parts and reasons why I would not return here. From when we landed we expected to have a shuttle to the hotel and did not, even though upon booking  [... read more]it said transportation to hotel was included. We ended up having to pay for a taxi. When we asked the hotel they said I would need to call tripcentreal for reimbursement. Then at the hotel gate they could not find our booking. Later at the front desk they managed to find us. My husband and I love to play sports, and this resort does not have a soccer field, tennis court, or volleyball court. They do have a basketball court for which they don't have balls for (but they sell them at the store...?) and they installed a badminton net at volleyball net height (also no volleyball even if you wanted to make due). The attitude from the majority of the workers here was poor and unfriendly. I do want to shout out to Arlando, Shamoya and Tameka who made our stay so much more enjoyable, they honestly went above and beyond. In our room the fan made so much noise that we thought it was going to fall on us so we turned it off right away after turning it on. I also think the AC thermostat did not work because if we turned it on it would get way too cold. So most of the time we had it off. The stocked fridge included 2 waters, 2 beers and 2 cokes which were not always all replaced. We didn't get to book the restaurant AT ALL because they only took same day bookings and by 7:40am it was booked up. I found this unfair, everyone should be able to enjoy one day at the restaurant. The snack bar almost NEVER had jerk chicken, and the one time my husband got upset they called us back and a plate magically appeared. My husband and I were really looking forward to a massage on the beach, but they were not offering any spa services. Instead they directed us across the street, which we did not go. We also won two games and when we went to claim the prizes the day we left they gave both of us one small bottle to share, when they were handing out 9 bottles on the beach for peoples birthdays the day before. They offered us the bottle of champagne INSTEAD of the small bottle of rum. Not a place for kids, this resort is for older people that want to lay on the beach or around the pool all day. I have stayed at RIU Ocho Rios before and I would have preferred to pay the extra $300 and have an amazing stay. Looking at going back later this year with our kids to Beaches Boscobel, Ocho Rios. We also wasted $80 on the rapid test in Canada because no where did they ask us for it, but I did hear from other guests at other resorts that they were asked so get it just incase.

So much fun

Travelled late February 2022. Resort staff - in a word Excellent. Genuinely friendly. Always eager to a assist with any issue. COVID - resort was very diligent in cleaning, disinfecting and ensuring staff and visitors followed covid protocols. The resort - 4 minutes from the airport. Every room has a ocean view. Beach is beautiful. Smallish resort so everything is a short walk away. Food - Buffet was very good, always lots to choose from. The a la cart restaurants where e [... read more]xcellent. Highlight - Staff, beach and food!

Very disappointed

The resort was very clean and we saw constant cleaning and sanitizing going on during our visit. Room were clean and comfortable and most staff were very accommodating. Unfortunately that's where it ends. The food was terrible (dried out meats and fish), not much choice of vegetables and at breakfast, alot of the time there was no bacon and if you wanted an omelet, hardly any mushrooms onions etc were available. The evening entertainment was next to nil and done by 10PM We were under the impres [... read more]sion that we could go next door to the sister resort for lots more entertainment and restaurants. That resort was closed down! Don't waste your money.

Wonderful beach

The food was not so good. Whole resort was very clean. Stuff was usually polite. Drinks were amazing. The beach was incredibly clean, water was unbelievable. Mediterranean Ala carte restaurant menu was poor and the food was not tasty.

Love this resort

Lovely well maintained property with good beach, close to the airport. Buffet food is always good and has something for everyone. Hotel staff is exceptional! Friendly, helpful, always smiling and willing to help or do whatever is necessary to make you happy and comfortable. This was my third time at this resort and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. I look forward to my next visit.

Another great week! Can't wait for my fifth visit in November!

I never have a complaint about about this resort. The employees are true to the heart. The food is ALWAYS fantastic! We had one day of bad weather, but the staff ensured we had a good time with song, dance, and of course plenty to drink and eat.

***** Royal Decameron Cornwall Beach In Montego Bay, Jamaica, W.I. *****

Royal Decameron Cornwall Beach Resort is very welcoming, accommodating, and wheel chair accessible. All rooms with balconies are in an awesome location viewing the gorgeous turquoise with various blue colour hue shaded waters of the Caribbean Sea. There is a large pool, and a shallow section pool for children, with shade or sun areas throughout daylight hours, which are surrounded by plenty of lounger chairs with sunbrellas.

Delicious alcoholic, non-alcoholic, and tropical beverages Commend all staff for their professionalism. Good security. Highly recommend this fabulous, clean, well-kept resort as a choice location for a Caribbean vacation. Thank you very kindly to Royal Decameron Cornwall Beach. Thank you very kindly to Trip Central Travel Agent Janet Merrill.

Great Ocean Views

This smaller sized hotel meant no line ups at meals and bars. Great location 10 min from airport and walking distance to the “hip strip”. Loved that all the rooms had an ocean view! Food was plentiful with lots of choice for all tastes.

Third visit to royal decameron cornwall beach

I have just returned Nov 19, 2019 and continue to enjoy this resort for its clear beach water, nice pool, excellent food and bar, but especially the employees! New management since January of this year (my last visit), and Andrea Clarke hotel manager, Victor regional manager, and Mr Hamilton Food services are very committed to maintaining the high standards that Decameron resorts have always had. I recommend this resort, and look forward to my next visit in January 2020!.

Bucket list trip.

Travelled with a group of 40 people for a 50th celebration. It was amazing!!! Clean fresh rooms, friendly staff, delicious food including lovely local dishes and plenty of jerk. All rooms have an ocean view, pools clean and beach stunning 5/5. Smaller bay style beach,but stunning white sand and the most turquoise water. Highly recommend this spot. Ya Mon!!!!

Beautiful resort, Great food, Awesome staff!

This was my first time staying on this resort and i had low expectations before arriving. However, this was by far the best resort i've been to in Montego Bay. Its right on the hipstrip close to the casino, margaritaville, and everything else. The food was amazing and always had a variety of options since we have access to the older resort (which actually has great amenities as well). The pools were cleaned every day and are in great shape and rarely ever busy. The beach was perfect, exc [... read more]ept it's a little rocky (but that's somewhat normal for beaches). The staff was accommodating and very kind. The only thing that i had a slight problem with was that service at times could have been better. At other resorts, i was used to having staff bring drinks to the pool and beach areas - this wasn't the case, so it took some getting used to. The rooms are beautiful and all oceanfront! Also, the resort had something for all ages (young adult/adult/senior). Overall, it was a great vacation and definitely exceeded my expectations.

Fantastic vacation

Right from check in we were welcomed with a drink. Check in was very quick. Food selection was great and varied day to day. Beach was loveley with shade always available.Customer service manager supplied a fruit plate and champagne to help celebrate our anniversary. Rooms are large and clean with great ocean views. Kem at the lobby bar is amazing as well as the lady bartender at the pool bar. This is a small resort with everything close at hand. Coffee bar was great.

FANTASTIC resort

This is the best resort I have ever stayed at! The beach is stunning and well kept. The rooms and public areas are immaculate. The food is delicious and plentiful. There are many activities all day long so you never get bored. The staff are super friendly, especially Genius Williams in the kitchen who always had a huge smile for us. I would definitely visit this resort again.

Fantastic Staff!

The hotel grounds are compact which is fantastic. The bar, restaurant, pool, beach and activities are all within the same vicinity. The entertainment staff were amazing as were the land and water sport staff. The restaurant and bar staff were well-mannered, very polite and genuinely nice people.

Fantastic Tropical Getaway

We just got back from our third year in a row and we will definitely return. The staff offer friendly, welcoming greetings each time we go. Check-in is so easy. Rooms are clean and comfortable. What a super view of Montego Bay! The beach is clean, the many cabanas offer shade, and the water is perfect for taking a dip. A wide selection of water sports are offered. So much fun!
