Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach: One Love - Everything Irie

The Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach is a fantastic all inclusive for the price in Jamaica. The staff, food, event/entertainment and beach options kept us engaged and helped us wind down for some real rest and relaxation.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Repeat visit-4th time!

We loved the improvements to the rooms- the key cards and fridges were great! The rooms were clean and well stocked.We were disappointed that the bikes are in such poor condition, we love riding into Nuevo Vallarta with its wonderful bike path but we barely made it back! The à la carte system is still a bit frustrating, we’ve been to other resorts where we chose all our restaurants on arrival and also others that worked on a first come first served basis, not sure what the best options are for [... read more] this. We had to look for chairs at the beach and at the many pools most days. There is still a lot of reserving going on despite the rules being clearly posted! We find the staff to be very friendly and helpful when accommodating our request for a change of room! The food choices were good. We love this area of Mexico and plan to return!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: A "go to" place when we need a quick Buscerias vacation.

We have stayed at this hotel a number of times. We do love it and feel comfortable here. We choose Oceanfront and then spend our pool time in Block 5, Adults Only. Hot water showers are a bit touch and go as are some meal choices, but all in all. always enjoy our time here. We are already planning and looking forward to our next stay.

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Nothing to rave about

This resort was barely okay. The best part were the nice staff. Outside of that- its a retirement home. Rooms have zero alcohol drinks and one bottle of water. Clean rooms at least. Food was minimal choice. Linch was the same over and over and over. Dinners were hit and miss. Only one restaurant which was where lunch was. There really was not alot of energy or things to do. Evening was same singers or bingo. I would died of i stayed over a week. You will always find a sum chair because  [... read more]the resort is dead quiet. Aqua exercise only- just nothing really to do. Toilets barely flush. Bathroom soaps and such are lowest quality so bring your own. Soap does not lather. As I said- staff were amazing and very honest. Due to how cheap the resort is we definitely wont be back.

Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach: Not as good as 6 years ago!

Most things were good. There was an issue with hot water, there wasn't any. When you took a shower unless you balled up the bath mat against the shower door water would go every where. We called maintenance, they came and did nothing about it. The shower didn't drain well so that was likely the issue, which with some regular maintenance could be fixed.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Lovely getaway!

This resort has 6 buildings along the beach with a pool beside each building. The rooms are clean and well kept as are the grounds and public areas. The food is very good with many choices of buffet or a la carte. The staff are friendly and helpful. Next year I'm going back for a longer stay, can't wait!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Very nice resort

This was our 4 stay at this resort. Resort is a little dated but kept very clean. The food selection is very good, you can always find something to eat at one of the two buffets or many snack bars. We were able to visit all five restaurants and found the food to be good at them also. The staff was very friendly and always acknowledging you even as you walked through the resort. Good value for money we spent. Couple of things I think could use changed are. The bikes, they are old and have not  [... read more]seen maintenance probably since they arrived. The second thing that needs to be addressed is the pool and beach chair reserving. We will be returning soon.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: My favourite resort

I have stayed at this resort many times - my all time favourite. I was worried that with the sale of the resort to the Wyndham group that it would change the true Mexican flavour - but if anything, it has changed very little. The entire staff goes to the extreme to guarantee your stay is exceptional. Thank you to the entire staff.

Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach: Amazing Views

The hotel staff were friendly and always cleaning and working to maintain grounds and building. The buffet should offer more child friendly food for dinner as it is a family resort. The entertainment and resort recreational staff were a lot of fun and motivating to join in on trivia aerobics bingo reggae dancing

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Grand Decameron Los Cabos

Oscar and Martin at the main restaurant were great. Actually all the staff were wonderful. My problem with this resort is that it only has two eating areas. I would recommend this resort once I informed the person after I tell them about the lack of restaurant choices.

Grand Decameron Panama: Very nice resort

Just recently returned from this resort. We had a good time, the resort is huge, lots of uphills, stairs, lots of walking for sure. The landscape was beautiful! Ocean was very warm, beach is nice and very long. Great for walking! Food was good, cocktails, coffee are perfect. Lots of Spanish speaking guests, even the staff don’t speak much English so brush up on your Spanish skills. Room ( garden view) was okay, a bit outdated. No issues with towels, or finding lawn chairs at the beach and poolsi [... read more]de. Overall it was a great vacation!

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Awesome stay

Hotel is slightly dated but very clean and lovely. The staff are incredible! We found the buffet food to be excellent and varied. Only one a la carte due to renovations however it was easy to get a reservation and the food was very good. Gorgeous beach!! Overall we loved this place

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Awesome location

Beautiful grounds, excellent pools. Rooms are "tired" but clean. Food needs improvement, most items seam recycled, and all lacking flavour. Even the specialty restaurants, are lacking. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Frustrated by signs all over stating no reserving pool side loungers, yet all have towels, bags, etc on them by 8am, and folks often don't show up to use them for 3 or 4 hours.

Decameron Isla Coral: Basic but Satisfactory

We are from Canada and booked this resort very last minute (just a week before we left) for our “babymoon.” We paid $2,200 each for the week which was a bit pricey for what you get, but maybe you can find cheaper pricing if you book far enough in advance. I would say this resort is probably worth spending around $1,800 for the week. The hotel is about an hour and a half ride on the bus from the airport in PVR and is mostly on a windy road. If you get car sick, this drive won’t be a good idea [... read more] for you. We were torn between which of the three resorts to choose from, and I’m glad we went with Isla Coral as it was the smallest resort and the beach area was the quietest. The Marina had the exact same layout. Los Cocos seems to be a different style/layout but is not on the beach (you have to walk across the street). Arrival: We didn’t realize that there was a time change from Puerto Vallarta - the time is an hour behind. Not a huge deal but good to know! Most of the staff don’t speak English, so there is a language barrier. We got checked in but nothing was explained to us. We were simply provided our ID, got our room keys and a brochure and were left to our own devices. Food: We checked out the buffets at all 3 locations and everything was the same. The only difference between the food at the different resorts (aside from the speciality restaurants) was that Los Cocos had an official snack bar - but you can get the same burgers etc at the buffets. Buffets were good, but pretty basic. The food was good quality and we didn’t get sick, it was just repetitive. We did have two Mexican themed nights which were the best. We tried to get into the steakhouse speciality restaurant but it seemed to be closed everyday. We now think that it was only opened on Fridays, maybe Saturdays? The problems were that 1) we weren’t advised at check in of the dates the speciality restaurants were open - it seems they weren’t all open everyday 2) you have to go to the front desk at 9am in the morning to reserve a speciality restaurant, which we weren’t told about. We just got lucky one day when I went to ask about the restaurant booking procedure as the Marina was open that evening and still had a spot open for the evening and they let us book it. We aren’t big seafood fans, so we only ended up trying one speciality restaurant at the Marina called the El Dorado (Mediterranean), which was decent enough. You get access to an app where you are supposed to be able to book the seafood restaurant at Los Isla but it didn’t work for us. I would venture out for some food as the buffet gets repetitive and boring. Also, the drip coffee at the buffet was pretty weak, and there is a cappuccino machine hiding in the back of the speciality restaurant area but was pretty nasty tasting coffee. Here are some off resort recommendations, all within 10 minutes walking distance from the resort: #1 Juan's Place - actually so good. You must go here. On the beach. Cash only. #2 Tonita - right beside the resort on the beach. Most authentic Mexican restaurant and also the guac is the best we’ve ever had. Cash only. #3 The Albatross - decent food, we had steak and salmon. It’s not a must go, but it’s another nice location on the beach. They accept credit cards. Coffee: #1 Cafe Nay - about 5 minutes from the resort. Great coffee. They accept credit cards. They aren’t consistently open though so check the hours on google. #2 - Coffee House - about a 10 minute walk from the resort. You have to cross the highway by the gas station. This is a modern/Mexican chain. Coffee is good and they also have sandwiches and pastries etc. They accept credit cards. There is also a convenience store a few steps away from the hotel for snacks/coffee etc. Rooms: You are technically getting an ocean view room, but the balconies are all facing the pool side so it’s noisy/uncomfortable sitting on your balcony because you don’t have any real privacy - we unfortunately didn’t use our balcony as a result. I’m not sure how you score the few rooms that are actually directly facing the ocean, but it may just be luck of the draw. Rooms are very basic. Beds and pillows are rock hard. I would suggest bringing your own pillow if you can (I slept with my airplane pillow). Sheets/linens are nice, although very thin - but it was hot so didn’t need anything more. We didn’t have face cloths on the first day but then they consistently brought us fresh ones everyday which was nice. They also provided us with fresh towels everyday, and one day when we needed extras we went to the front desk and they gave us some more no problem. It was also hit or miss when we would get a shower mat (hence we needed more towels). They have a mini split in the room so you can control the air conditioning which is great. They supply you with a big 1L of bottled water everyday, and you can ask the front desk if you need more. They also have a water cooler in the buffet area to fill up your water if needed. Beach/Pool: As all the reviews reflect, the beach is amazing and the resort is on the beach. It’s really nice because it’s easy to run back and forth to your hotel room. There was never an issue getting a chair on the beach, no matter what the time was. For some reason it was a common occurrence for many different groups of people to be blaring their own music which was frustrating when trying to relax/read. The buskers were very consistent on the beach and a bit annoying when you were trying to relax but they were nice and typically left when you said no without further pushing. The pool was decent, and even though it was shaded during the day, it was nice to escape the heat and go into for a quick cool down. In terms of the pool towels, do not panic about bringing your towel back before 6pm. You can just keep it in your room and exchange for a new towel whenever you would like. You can also exchange for your pool towel card at any point. We just turned in our towels at check out instead of our pool towel cards and we didn’t have any issues. Other: 1. There were bathrooms pool side/beside the buffet and a few steps up from the beach was great 2. We found the resort to be clean 4. Cash - this may be new, but US cash is not really accepted (we read that US cash was widely accepted in Puerto Vallarta area and because we booked last minute, we didn’t have time to get Pesos). The resort will only exchange Canadian currency and there are no banks within walking distance. 5. Market - there is a local market right by the resort on Monday. The town is also really close by and has lots of shops to explore. 6. The resort isn’t filled with your typical North American crowd. You have a lot of different cultures and locals which to us was a nice change. Overall, we enjoyed our stay although this resort wouldn’t have been a typical choice for us.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Not What it Once Was

The grounds are very well kept. The rooms...you get what you pay for. The food is hit or miss. There is no pool side service, the beach bartenders are disinterested at best, the a la carts have become very difficult to book, and this is also the first time I've ever seen a cockroach scurrying under the lounge chairs by the pools.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Friendly

It's a colorful place, I hope it stays that way once the renovation is completed. Beach is nice, food is good, atmosphere is friendly. Place is kept spotlessly clean. A bit noisy at times. Can get crowded on weekends.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: very disappointing!

this hotel has lots of potential but fails to deliver! the pool chairs are hard plastic, you have to buy a floaty to sit on them. the pillows and lumpy and hard. there are no side tables by the pool so you have to put your drink on the ground and hope the ants don't get in. The food is bland and always the same. Ice cream is available in only one spot for only 2 hours a day. The sinks are clogged, the shower leaks and the water is NOT potable. I could go on about all the small things they could  [... read more]do to improve the customer experience but you get the idea!

Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach: Loved it!

I came here with two friends for a 30th birthday. We have no complaints and had a great time! The rooms were clean, food had variety and was good, beach and pool were super close and nice. We stayed on the Cornwall Beach side which we enjoyed as it is a little quieter than the Montego Beach side. We did have a lot of fun partying on the Montego side as well! The staff were super friendly and there was something fun going on every night. We also loved the location on the hip strip and enjoyed exp [... read more]loring there. We met a lot of regulars who come to this resort multiple times a year. You won't regret staying here :)

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Very good resort.

This was a first experience at an all-inclusive and it was a great experience. The amenities were well maintained. The hospitality and enthusiasm of the staff were superb. There were scheduled activities available for all age groups. Certainly I would be a repeat customer.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great Resort, noticeable improvements this year over last year.

The hotel was Great, clean, service was exceptional in all areas, our maids were excellent! They really have to work on assess-ability to the specialty restaurants! I like sitting around the activity pool, but some time a little to loud!
