Grand Decameron Montego Beach: Amazing resort!

Great resort! Beautiful grounds, including a huge trampoline right in the ocean and beautiful beaches, good food with ACTUAL Jamaican food and the staff is amazing! Always energetic and very friendly.

Grand Decameron Montego Beach: Extremely fun, enthusiastic staff and great food.

I had become disenchanted with all inclusive resorts but the Royal Decameron changed everything. There was a good mix of locals and tourists which made the dynamic more engaging and authentic. Staff was young, energetic but not too in your face. The resort was well taken care of and food far exceeded my expectations.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: very good

Rooms were clean grounds clean food good staff very friendly.. We had a good relaxing time short walk into town to Mexican market not over selling you very friendly. We would go back.good deal for the price.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great staff and good food

The hotel was very nicely kept but it was so spread out that it was almost inconvenient. The staff were amazing helping out with whatever they could and always smiling. The food throughout the different restaurants was good and the drinks were cold.

Grand Decameron Montego Beach: Good atmosphere

Hotel was clean and if anything needed to be done it was quickly taken care of. The grounds were well kept and management was very attentive. I definitely think it's time to offer free WiFi to customers and that will be a deal breaker for me next time. I really felt good about the grounds security.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Lively and fun!

This is my third time to Decameron in Nuevo Vallarta in the past 13 years. It doesn't claim to be a five-star resort, but to me, that's what gives it its character. The resort is very clean, the grounds are impeccably maintained, the staff are beyond friendly... they really seem to love working there, and the whole vibe of the resort is welcoming and fun, rather than five-star stuffy. My sister and I had a blast and loved the evening shows. The pools are varied and clean, never over-crowded, and [... read more] the multiple pool bars are well-stocked. The rooms are a little dated and some are in need of minor repairs, but nothing that bothered me. How much time will you spend in your room anyway? We only slept there... too much to do elsewhere! The ocean was just steps from our ground-floor room, so we had some fabulous, dramatic night-time lightening storms over the waves, only to have the sun shine brightly the next day. Such a beautiful place. Take the effort to "escape" too... a short walk to the main highway and you can catch a cab, or if you're adventurous, go for public transportation for a fraction of the cost and loads more fun and head into town. The people there are gracious and hospitable. Love Mexico! Decameron is perfectly located.

Grand Decameron Panama: Great Resort

The rooms were very clean and a nice size. The resort was very clean and well kept. With all the restaurants it was great being able to choose a different restaurant every night. The beach was very large and spacious so you never feel crowded in. The shows were the only disappointment.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Very Disappointing

I had read the negative reviews but I decided to not pay much attention to them as I have stayed at lovely places with negative reviews. I went very optimistically and was very disappointed. The food was very basic. Every pastry had a weird 'background' taste. So much sweet sauces and really not very healthy. Salads were tired, food was not kept cold enough to look and stay fresh. The restaurants were a joke. Line up at 6.30am to try and book a place - not something you want to do on holidays, a [... read more]nd although were very slightly better than the buffet, were not good. Just a seated meal where buffet food was brought to you with only a 5 dish option! The Thai one was quite funny. Ordered a Pad Thai which I thought shouldn't be too hard for them to make..menu said rice noodles. It was just packet pasta with a white sauce and a few peanuts! Was more italian and certainly NOT Thai! My daughter and I both had 2 very long days and nights where we were very ill from suspected food poisoning. There were flies in the buffet section and people were handling the food and kids were touching and breathing on it too. We have travelled extensively through Malaysia and Indonesia and Thailand and have never been so sick as we were at this resort. In other places I have eaten street food from tiny carts - there was something wrong here at this resort for us to be so ill. I did observe the bar staff rinsing the blenders in tap water when preparing drinks so was suspicious about that too. The beds and pillows were hard and uncomfortable. Our room was a very long way from the main areas and there was no information in our room about the activities on offer in the resort. There was no free shuttle bus to town. Had to buy a tour for $69USD if you wanted the shuttle. My daughter who is not yet 18 had a children's wrist band so she wasn't allowed in the adult pool or gym. She is an older, very quiet, mature teen who was alway accompanied by me. The other pools were full of screaming noisy kids and the adult pool was empty. We went in for a quiet swim and were told rudely to get out! The pools close while it is still light and hot. -at 6pm. Too may stupid rules -felt like we were in a concentration camp at times and we just wanted to go home. Pool water was too hot for me as the pools are shallow but that is a personal preference. Internet was only in public lobby and there were not many places to sit. They had 80s music throughout the resort for the entire week - THE SAME PLAYLIST@ I would hear the same songs 6+times a day - and could predict what was next - DROVE us crazy! Would have loved some live mexican music at some stage at dinner. I guess I expected an AI resort was like a cruise on land...it wasn't!!! I felt like we wasted our week of valuable vacation time. Would NEVER stay there again. Was too scared to complain in person as I witnessed several other people make complains and they were verbally attacked by a manager. I did not want to get further stressed by that and was feeling pretty exhausted and unwell. I have never written a negative review like this before and have more than 90 reviews on Trip Advisor. So much more negative I could talk about but Im over even thinking about it now. Our room maid was great though and we tipped her well,

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great location, Great value!

We stayed for 1 week in July, so it was very hot in Mexico! Our stay at royal Decameron was better than expected. We were in block 5. It was quiet, the tropical scenery, birds and flowers just off our deck were beautiful, relaxing, and fragrant. The grounds were kept immaculate, with staff constantly cleaning, sweeping, washing, painting etc. It is an older resort, so there is a lot of maintenance to be done, but they work very hard. Food in the buffets was very good, lots of variety, something  [... read more]for everyone. The Mexican food was our favourite, it was delicious. Fresh corn tortillas pressed and cooked just before you eat them, and the guacamole was the best! We didn't have luck with the ala cartes, especially the Mexican one and Jap Jap. We must have had higher expectations, as we were disappointed in the quality of food. The rooms were basic and clean, although the air conditioner worked really well, it was loud, even when we turned it off we could hear the other rooms ac units buzzing through the walls! I'd recommend taking ear plugs if you're a light sleeper, although I got used to it! There was a great line up of activities to participate in. The beach was beautiful and the people selling jewelry etc on the beach are part of the resort, they are not pushy, and are respectful when you say no. We would definitely go back, it's amazing value and has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Grand Decameron Montego Beach: Happy with my stay - 22nd time to Jamaica

I was happy with everything about the hotel. The staff was fantastic and I love the property layout and closeness of the patrons due to the size of it. The new property beach acquired recently is going to make this a gem!

Grand Decameron Montego Beach: Loved it amazing resort and staff

I loved my trip the beach was beautiful the trampoline in the ocean was perfect for sunbathing all of the staff where very nice and fast with getting us our drinks the strip in front of the hotel felt very safe to walk on day or night I will most definitely be going back !

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Resort was sufficient.

The resort appeared large at first; although, you got used to the walking around afterwards. The resort is on the beach and the staff upkeeps the grounds constantly. The food is amazing if you are willing to branch out and try new foods. The staff were kind and cheerful. Not that it is the resort's fault, but if you go on the beach there are Mexicans bombarding you to purchase items. I hear this is common all over Mexico. This resort is also a distance from the city. Disliked that there is no sw [... read more]imming after 8pm in the pools. There are no signs, and they don't notify you and when we arrived we were swimming around 9pm in front of an open bar and a security came blasting his whistle. There is a pool or all ages and there is adult only pools as well. The daily activities were good and the nightly performances were amazing! The other thing I disliked was the security at night appeared to be on a power trip. One of the workers was chatting with us at night, and the security supervisor walked by and muffled under his breath telling the guy to move on. Apparently the locals are not allowed to talk with the tourists. Also at night my friend and I would go to the same bar to meet people. The security guard would come and sit at the bar and stare at me and the bartenders if it were only I and them at the bar at the time. Then in spanish he would throw accusations to the bartender which made me sad because they were nothing but kind and excellent bartenders. My friend started to intervene and he denied it. I was later informed that one of the workers got written up for talking with the tourists. This what bothered me the most. I am not a big drinker but loved staying at the bar meeting all kinds of people. This resort is not all that exciting and when I went in june it was all Canadians and Mexicans. Not a lot of people between the ages of 25-40 without children. Overall, I would go here again if I wanted to relax at a resort. For something more exciting, I would go elsewhere.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Location Location Location, Best in the Bay

Great set up with the location in the Bay. From beach to the well groomed grounds, the guests services will amaze you as they did I. I will be back to enjoy the Best bay in the Pacifico. So much to see never enough days to do it.....

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great vacations

My sister and I went to this resort at the end of May 2015. There's nothing fancy but it's a great resort if you want to enjoy the beach and relax. As the other reviews mentioned, it's REALLY clean. They are always taking care of the resort. The long chairs (and yes they are not that comfortable after a week on it), the pools and the beach are cleaned every night. The food is good, you always find something to eat, whatever your preferences and the staff is very friendly and courtly. All in all  [... read more]it's a really good resort and I highly recommend it.

Grand Decameron Panama: Acceptable & Reasonably priced

Our bed was broken and it took 3 days for them to come and fix it. Also half of the resort was closed while we were there and we were only able to use some of the pools and the restaurants. Resort was very clean.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Amazing getaway

From day one we had a fantastic time, no work, no thinking, just plain old relaxing and enjoying the resort and all its activities. Every one was extra friendly. The beach was clean and the food great.

Grand Decameron Montego Beach: Amazing Resort

This hotel is perfect. Its small enough where everyone knows you and big enough where you can meet a lot of different people. The staff is very nice and easy going. The food is amazing. The rooms all have a great ocean view.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: 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.

Grand Decameron Montego Beach: Poor Reception

This was our 5th visit and we enjoyed it but upon our arrival we were disappointed with our reception. We arrived at noon, check in was at 3:00pm and it was late in the evening before we finally got a room. Apparently the problem was they didn't have one for us! This was our first time booking with Air Canada Vacations and I blame them, not the resort. Once everything was straightened away, things were good.

Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Awesome time!

We have been to Jamaica several times and the Royal Decameron was the best by far! We found the resort to be clean and the staff extremely friendly. The bungalows are great! We loved ours! Housekeeping did a great job, changing linens every day and the best crisp white sheets I've ever seen at a resort! The food was really good, great variety, too bad mangos were out of season when we were there! The beach is raked everyday and the grounds and maintenance crews are constantly keeping up with eve [... read more]ryday demands. All in all.... we are definitely going back!!!
