Grand Decameron Panama: Amazing Country and Resort

This was an amazing resort located approx 2 hrs from Panama City It has variety of restaurants and swimming pools, staff are friendly. Food was excellent and resort was very clean. Not a suitable location for Snorkeling, however you could do other exciting excursions trips

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great hotel Great people

Had a wonderful time. The room was huge and amazing. They gave us a ground floor as my partners mobility is compromised. The food was terrific and went to one of the al-a-carte restaurants 4 times. No complaints but the weather could have co-operated a little more but on the whole is was good. Have been to The Royal Decameron a number of times and things just seem to get better. Went off site and had four messages and two facials. Felt awesome. Will we go again, definitely.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Nice resort but

We visited the Decameron again last week. It's a lovely resort with friendly staff . This visit we were very disappointed in the quality and choice of the entrees at the buffets, not nearly as good as previous years. I've always recommended the Decameron in the past but anymore.

Grand Decameron Panama: Simple but lovely

Rooms were clean, Food was good, Beach was wonderful. Get out early for chairs with the huts. There are not enough on the resort. The resort was only 1/3rd full but yet it was hard to find shade. If you are looking for a fully accessible resort this is not the place for you. The ramps are too steep so if you are alone in a wheel chair with no one to push you up and down you will run into issues. The shuttle also only runs every 45 minutes. Other than that the resort was good.

Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Fantastic Getaway

This resort was recommended to me by a friend. It was very relaxing, and very comfortable and clean. Although it rained for a lot of the time, everyone seemed to make the most of it, and still continued with entertainment and excitement. Whenever we had any questions or concerns, the staff were friendly and prompt in resolving anything.

Grand Decameron Panama: Royal Decameron Beach Resort Panama

It would be very nice to have flights leave from Calgary or Vancouver to let the people in the west enjoy this resort too with out the extra expence and travel to Toronto. I did not enjoy that one bit. The resort is beautiful, the food was better than three years ago when we stayed. They need to do some major repairs in the rooms. Our biggest complaint would have to be the noise from the disco that runs from 11:00pm til 3:00am then the partying that goes on until 5:00am or 6:00am. I di [... read more]d not have sleep most nights. The hotel did offer to move us at one point but we only had a few days left so said no. But we would never stay in that area again. Any one with walking efforts should beware of this place as many many stairs to get to eating areas and pools. We did discover that you could ask to have a shuttle come and pick you up so that you do not have to climb almost 70 stairs each way up and down or tackle a very very steep hill. The shuttles were running but you had to call to get the service, we tipped 1.00 us dollar each way. The weather at the begining of December in hot hot and very muggy as it is the end of the rainy season. the second week was drying up some and we had better weather. All in all I would say the resort is good for the partying type who want to be awake most nights until the wee hours. And people who can climb lots of stairs in the hot hot weather. Good luck and hope the repairs are done to this resort. So I will not recomment to my friends as we are getting to old for this foolishness!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Many repeat guests

This was our second time. It is not a 5* resort but it is right for the price. Comfortable set up, older but clean. Food very good, lots to do (tennis, bikes, boards, games, close to village and shopping...), good entertainment. Great set up for adults, quiet block 6 and only adult pool by Block 5. Great for older people, families with children. They are getting the noisy air con units replaced - great! The public bathrooms could use an update but they keep them clean. Great staff, very pleasan [... read more]t atmosphere. If you go you will most likely return.

Grand Decameron Panama: The resort was nice.....But Beware!!!

The Royal Decameron Resort was nice and had beautiful grounds and gardens. The pools were beautiful and the restaurants were so well serviced. The rooms, or at least my room was quite less than a 4 star hotel room. The doors did not open properly, I guess because of warping in the humidity. The sliding door to the deck had to be yanked open and did not close properly or lock so there was a stick to put in the track for security. When we tried to open the connecting door between our rooms, the  [... read more]doorknobs pulled right off. My headboard fell off the wall as it was hanging on one screw. The large mirror over the dresser was hung crooked. My air conditioner constantly just stopped. I reported it and they did come to fix it but that only lasted a few hours. I just had to keep resetting it. BUT the worst thing that you need to be aware of is the Discotech!! This runs EVERY!! night from 11 p.m until 3 a.m. Boom, boom bass vibrates your room the whole time. Thank god I had ear plugs and then had to hold a pillow over my head to get any sleep. They then are allowed to stay and continue drinking until 5 a.m. Then they are out onto the grounds, yelling and screaming, in the swimming pools and heading back to the rooms. In the hallways there is no respect for the others sleeping. Doors slamming people yelling and laughing and singing. Every night! Finally we went and demanded a security guard for our unit. That really did make a difference. But too late for me. I also spoke to others and myself who felt that we are paying top dollars for this hotel when others are getting a much lower rate and using the same amenities. Not fair. The bottom line is, I would never return to this hotel or recommend it to anyone else!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Still good but needs help

The resort is maintained nicely and food is good. The rooms however are very tired and need to be renovated. We've been coming here for 20 years and not one thing has been done to them. The rooms are dark with poor lighting. Some small tweaks would improve them. The 2nd major complaint are the beach/pool lounges. They need cushions. After laying or sitting on them - you feel crippled getting off them. People buy inflatable pool mattresses or bring foam from home. You shouldnt have to do this com [... read more]ing to a vacation resort. Apparently the beachfront rooms have been renovated - but these rooms are near a late night bar - and in a louder area of the resort. If these two things are not important to someone - the resort is great. Nice pools, a nice variety of ala carte restaurants and the people who work there are so friendly, nice and helpful

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Impressive older resort.

The resort buildings, grounds and pools were very nice. The food was excellent and the service unbelievable. Nice clean older resort, with very friendly staff. My wife and I were very impressed. Our only complaint was the fact that there were no facecloths in the bathroom.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great resort

The hotel accommodated our large group of 15 people at both breakfast and dinner allowing us to sit at the table for the majority of our meals. They cooked up fish and all the trimmings from fish that were caught by a couple of guys in our group. Great presentation and very nicely cooked. Any issues that were very minor were dealt with fast. They could use face cloths in the bathrooms and the beds are very hard but if you request a foamy for your bed they will provide one. Vista pariaso ha [... read more]d great views of the bay for zip lining and cheaper than the other tours for this activity. Other tours through the hotel were great. We love this resort close to shopping beach and other restaurants if wanted.

Grand Decameron Panama: Great golf

We enjoyed our stay at this resort . Lots of walking and stairs as the property is very large. The grounds are beautiful . The rooms are a little outdated, but were clean and the beds comfortable. The dinners that you could reserve in the evening were good. They were able to always accommodate a table of 12. The men loved the golf there. Which was a very challenging course, they golfed five times out of a 7 day vac.

The weather was perfect !!! The staff did not expect a tip all quests were treated the same.

Grand Decameron Panama: Great Vacation

I have stayed at numerous resort over the years and I would have to say this is definitely one of my favourites now. The pick up at the airport went smoothly and quickly, the front desk staff were very helpful,our rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable beds, the grounds were always well kept, the food was good, entertainment was very good. I took my son on this trip with me and we both had a great time.

I will be back, Thanks for a great trip. Patty

Grand Decameron Panama: Beautifully kept ocean side resort

Hotel was well kept, staff helpful even with language barrier. Food at seafood and Italian dining restaurants fabulous. Buffet areas always clean and looked good. A big resort with lots of walking and climbing up stairs good for some but you could call for a driver if unable to do the walking or climbing. All in all great place for relaxing and for the weather

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Very good Resort

My wife and I thouroughly enjoyed our stay. We found resort a little dated, but it was clean, staff friendly and helpful. Any issues our large party had were quickly addressed and rectified. We are already looking forward to planning our next trip to PVR and staying at the Royal Decameron

Grand Decameron Panama: Challenging Resort!

Anyone with mobility issues should rethink this resort. Very large resort covering alot of levels. Many stairs and alot of walking. Lots of eating facilities and pretty good food. Lots of activities to take part in. People are mostly friendly. Language a definite factor in dealing with staff.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great vacation!

Didn’t start off to well with Air Transat sitting on the tarmac in Vancouver for almost 3 hours! However, once we reached the Royal De Cameron that was soon forgotten. The rooms are clean and all the staff are friendly. We would definitely visit them again!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Beautiful Resort

The resort is fantastic, the staff are friendly and accommodating. We had a great time lots of restaurants to choose from as well as 5 pools to relax around. The beach is gorgeous and yes you can walk for miles down the beach in each direction. Very clean both the accommodations and beach

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Amazing family friendly resort

Really amazing family oriented resort. The animation was great, entertainment team really worked hard. The beach was awesome. Very friendly and helpful staff. We are going to this resort next year again.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great resort, highly recommend

Everything is great about this resort. Easy to get around, always lots of pool and beach chairs and no waits for food. Did not care for the reservation method for the La Carte but works for them. No beach or pool services however lots of bars just steps away. Staff were all great
