Considering the price and 3 star..... Not Bad..!

Overall, not bad. Food was above average for a 3 star, service was great. The La Carte was pretty good and romantic with nice location up on the hill. Booze drinks were OK with lots of fruity options. Try the Banana Mama with real banana blended .What I liked the most about the complex was the versatility and spread buildings. Building 4 was located across the street with a adult only pool and bar,then later night, live entertainment and then later later the disco for the partiers. Apparently ni [... read more]cer rooms too. Building 1 is a five story highrise where the main pool and bar are located and where of the day and evening action is. This is where we stayed and we quite liked it. We had a private balcony in the back and the pool and hallway in the front. By 11pm it was dead quite as the partiers headed across the street to the disco in building 4. Perfect! Beds were a little hard though. In the morning at 9:30, there is a hotel shuttle at the main front entrance that takes you to their affiliate beach club a kilometer away that is still part of the all inclusive. Little quieter, nicer beach for sure, same food and drinks. The other buildings are guest rooms and seemed OK too. Building 2 looked good and had its own little private pool too. The buildings are dated, but the staff is always cleaning and repairing, always! Beach water was disappointing as it was murky and dark, even dirty. Not much beach front, but no shortage of chairs. Many beach merchants!! It was cool to be right in the town of Guayabitos, We explored the town on the free bicycles provided by the hotel. So,overall, it was really Ok and unique. Better than its three star rating, but certainly not a 4 star either.The location is 45 minutes out of PV and very Mexican and jungle terrain, so great cultural and geographical experience. We took advantage of the area and horse back road up in the jungley mountains. Really nice from up there! It should be said too that everyone local there including return tourist report the area is very very safe. From what I saw, I would agree. One thing about travelling to the PV side is the weather and for late December the weather was exceptional with no rain. But for us, the beach is really important and so the aqua blue waters and the white sand of the Caribbean trump the jungle and predictable good weather. Take it all in for what it is worth. From a value perspective this is a solid pick. But if you are used to a 4 or five star traveller, you will not be impressed.

Great food and service

Don`t normally go to 3 star resorts but took a chance on this place because of good reviews and low price. Only our room was 3 star; food, service, entertainment were all as good or better than 4 star resorts we have visited. Town is very quaint. Would definitely return.

Friendly, bohemian resort but very loud.

Reminiscent of the 1960's Hippie Days, this town is a throw back to that generation. Easy to walk around town or hop on a bus to visit neighbouring towns and markets. Very relaxed place, but busy with weekend visitors from Guadalajara and other cities. The grounds of the resort are well maintained. The rooms are clean but basic and noise filters into the rooms. The a la carte restaurant is just adequate. The buffet restaurants have vastly improved from 3 years ago with daily roast beef, pork, or [... read more] chicken carved. Beach is small but clean and gentle waters for swimming. Pools are small - did not use them. You get to know the fellow travellers as you sit in the bars by the ocean. Biggest con is the noise - the music and daily activities coordinators insist on blasting the speakers...Very annoying. Get rid of these speakers and it would be a great resort for people looking to relax.

An Economical Good Timea

The ground were amazing, park was perfect, all buildings were well maintained and freshly painted, everything was very clean, ponds were gorgeous. Service everywhere was first class, bars restaurants and main office. The festivals were well planned and a lot of fun. Staff worked very hard decorating the restaurants for the festivities and they looked spectacular right down to festive Mexican dress. The variety of Mexican food was over the top but the stews and any of the meats tended to be tough [... read more] and chewy. We've had mass produced food many times before but this Mexican food tended to be very bland and a lot of the sauces had little or no flavour and very salty. Mexico is a country that has a multitude of herbs and spices but few were used to fortify different flavours. We were placed in a room close to the childrens pool which ment no sleeping in or no afternoon naps. I did go to the office to see if we could be moved but was informed that moving to a different room would cost more money. We had a good week at the hotel and might book again in the future.

A gem in a little village!

This resort is so clean and the staff very helpful and mannerly. The food is good and the adult pool section very peaceful. We originally were booked in a room with two double beds and when we asked for a room with a king size bed we were upgraded to a room near the adult pool and it was great. You get good service at the bars and the La Bamba restaurant was amazing. The beach was very sandy and the water was extremely warm. Their beach club over in the next village (a 5 minute bus ride which wa [... read more]s included) was great. They had their own restaurant and bar right there as well. The bathrooms near the beach and everywhere else on the resort were always clean. Walking in the village is very safe and you could always find a good deal. Tuesday night at the show in town has current movies and in English with no sub titles. The only negative comment would be the locals trying to sell you their goods on the beach, but once you said "no" they never tried to continue the "sell". It is a great place for families but it is also a great place if you are a couple.

Awesome place to go

Super friendly staff always there to help. Everyone had a smile and a hello. The resort is beautifully kept and clean. Small town feel. Perfect place to just go to relax and forget the outside world!!

Great resort, great value

We had a fantastic time at Decameron Los Cocos. My boyfriend and I (both 22) stayed here for a week in late April. The resort is right on a beautiful beach. Everything is extremely clean, the resort itself is super colorful and cute, and the food is pretty alright. Don't come here expecting a 5-star luxury resort in a gated community - that is not what you get. What you do get is a really cute, welcoming, authentic Mexican-style resort in a beautiful location, with incredibly kind and helpful em [... read more]ployees. There are tons of activities to do, the water is warm, there are several pools, and nightly entertainment shows featuring incredible dancing talent! We absolutely loved it here and would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a family-friendly vacation on a budget.

FAN-FRICKEN-TASTIC

OMG it was awesome - the Staff at the RESORT was GREAT OUR rooms VERY clean and well taken care of - Food was awesome the buffet was very fresh with great selection - Stayed in the Adults only resort !! Very service orientated - had an issue with our Air Cond - within 3 hrs it was fixed - GREAT service !

Authentic Mexican Resort

Decameron Los Cocos is nestled in a quaint little town, we loved from the moment we stepped off the bus. Colourful buildings surrounded by lush tropical trees and flowers, it had a lovely feel. The staff were friendly and so willing to please. The rooms were nice and clean, the food was great, lots of variety and the atmosphere was very Mexican...we loved our stay and will come back again!!!!

Great way to relax

This was our first visit to Mexico and we were not disappointed. We thought 7 days of nothing but beach life would be too long but no - it was way too short! The hotel staff are great, the rooms were impeccably cleaned every day. There wasn't a lot of variety in the food but the desserts were amazing! There's always life on the beach, but beware of the vendors. The animation team is fantastic! The evening shows were absolutely amazing. Can't wait to go back!

Clean resort and the staff were 'Amazing'

We arrived later in the day so were a little cranky, we were not happy with the location of our room being in building 4, we approched the staff with a request to being placed in a room closer to the beach and they made arrangements for us to be moved into building 1 top floor facing the beach!! it was a 2 bedroom suite with a deck that was bigger than most rooms! The food was Good but the variety was the same the 2nd week. The beach Club was awesome! we really enjoyed that day! We venture out t [... read more]o find the 'Best' fish taco and margs and found both at a little bar in Lapinita called Hymies. Karlas on the beach just up from the De Cameron had the biggest and best coconut shrimp ever, its filled with cream cheese....divine! next to Karlas we found the best burger at Juans and there margs were right up there. Great BBQ can be found at Mr. Ribs.... We did a day trip to the caves booked through Salvadore at the resorts front desk.... highly recommended... it was a full day for 90.00CND and included all your bevies, lunch, transport and equipment. Overall we had a wonderful time and will def be going back to this quaint little fishing village!

Great value, location, food and fun!

We have just returned from a lovely one week stay at Dameron Los Cocos! This was our second visit, my youngest son and I had been there 8 years ago and I had forgotten how wonderful it was! This time our family of 4 went. If you are looking for a very clean and safe 3.5* resort on the beach, this is it! It is a very authentic Mexican resort and every one is very friendly. The food and quantity was very generous, the pools clean and now they even have lifeguards for the pools and beach. During ou [... read more]r one week stay we also went snorkeling, rode the complimentary bikes to the market in La Pineta, sailed the complimentary catammaran and rode horseback up the Sierra Mountains. Our rooms in Cocos 4 were spacious, very clean with beautiful views of the bay.We all had a wonderful vacation and look forward to returning again soon!

Great resort

Resort was well maintained, very clean, staff courteous & helpful. I even liked the quirky arrangement with the resort built into the village and part of the resort across the street. Travel to & from airport was a drawback

Senic Resort

Good food and service. Nice beach, but too many vendors, so not relaxing. Communication between Nolitours rep and tourists, poor. Our flight had been delayed two hours and the resort did not inform us, resulting in an unnecessary early departure and a longer wait at the airport. Transportation to and from the resort, deplorable.

Awesome resort!

From the minute we arrived at the resort we had excellent service. Staff are amazing! From Adrien when we arrived to Bory and Letanya at the La Bamba restaurant, to Gabriel at the private beach club, so friendly and helpful. Food was amazing and no shortage of choices. Would recommend this resort and would return. Very family friendly and clean. Beach was very good for swimming. Probably one reason it isn't rated as a 5 star is because it is an older resort.

Great resort

the staff were great and very informative, the grounds well kept, the beach was nice, food was good and lots of variety, rooms well kept, always hot water and bottled water in rooms. Never had to ask twice for anything the staff were all very accommodating.

Offers a wonderful Mexican holiday

Hotel amenities are basic and simple, kept immaculately clean several times a day. Bicycles are rudimentary, kayaking disappointing as restricted swimming area, sailing cat only available for 1/2 hr with assigned skipper. Food very good (not fancy), but tons of fresh veggies, lots of fish, polo. Be prepared for lots of noise. Beach club located over hill in next village well worth the hike or shuttle.

Very enjoyable an truly Mexican resort

As always, I enjoyed the Decameron Los Cocos immensely. The food seems to get better every year. This time, we had a lot of rain. But, no problem, entertainment by Karioki in the bar was provided to make our days enjoyable. Our room cleanliness was 1st class as usual and just love the walks along the beautiful beach. Will come again for sure!!

Decameron Los Cocos

A very good area to immerse into authentic Mexico. A slow paced non-american resort with very good food. Not for the party crowd or singles looking for the "what happens in..." crowd. There are many excursions locally and Sayulita is 45 minutes down the road.

Most enjoyable vacation

I was pleasantly surprised by this resort. Classed as a 3-star, the grounds, service, facilities, entertainment and food all exceeded my expectations. The simple, tidy room lacked an ocean view, but little time was spent there. Conveniently close to the beach, restaurant and bar, apart from the sound of waves, it was relatively quiet. I liked the yoga and zumba classes and bicycles offered by the resort and the always friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful.
