Beachfront cottage made all the difference

The stay was not worth what we paid and come to find out after arriving we could have gotten 1 room for 5 people (because a 0-4 year old doesn't count, and my child was 3.) So could have saved THOUSANDS there. So we had a beachfront cottage thank God, it was the best and closest I've ever stayed to the beach! Beach was beautiful! Plenty of bars around. Smaller resort, but I like that. The food was insane in the sense that I went to the grill three times during operating hours while they told me  [... read more]either no food left or not ready yet. The main buffet often ran out of food or wasn't the greatest. You couldn't bring food to the room so when my son was sick and hungry well ....that was sad. Bartenders are amazing ? shout out to Ruel, tall man, Mark. A la carte restaurant had 2 options .... oriental and Mediterranean .... Oriental was better, but both okay. There is a store not far outside the resort. The bus ride from airport to resort felt like decades on a warm frequent stopped bus(almost last stop). I'd definitely return as I'm very easy to please but I'd never pay what I paid again for that stay. One love.

Royal Decameron carribean

Loved the cottages,feel like your in a village. Everything super close to each other.no long walk to bar,pool or beach..Loved the friendly staff.Beach was lovely and were in process of upgrading umbrellas. This wS my 6th stay, like famy

Great resort!

I took my 4 sons and my husband here and we had the most amazing time! The entertainment was great , the food was delicious, and the beach was beautiful! We felt welcomed right from the moment we got off the bus . The only thing I would say could use improvement is at certain times you can’t get food , not long times but a couple times we were famished and had to wait an hour .. all in all we cannot wait to return!!!!

Nice quiet resort.

We like small resorts with lots of greens/trees etc. Especially the huts in garden like settings are very nice and comfortable. The 5 beaches are nice but small and the windy weather allowed body surfing more than swimming! Facilities and food are good but moderate. Did not use the pool so no rating. The beach bar was under renovation which did not affect us but if your room is at the far east end then it is a long walk to get a beer!

Perfect for us

Clean, cozy bungalows, full buffets, no lines, friendly service. Perfect place for retired couple not so much for the younger travellers. Would recommend it go back. We easily arranged excursions with the staff that was available daily. Enjoyed a complementary bottle of Champaign for my birthday.

We were at the Royal Decameron Runaway Bay Ramada in January 2025 and were there to celebrate a friend's 90th birthday. We have been to this resort numerous times and seen the good and the bag. Happy to report this time that there was great improvement in the quality of the food and also improvement in the entertainment.

Great Resort, friendly staff, exceptionally clean

We just got back from Decameron Club Caribbean on Runaway Bay. We stayed in a gardenview cottage. We were put in a "loft" cottage, not sure why as there was just 2 of us, these are for families with kids. I asked the next day to be moved to a cottage with a King bed with no loft, they had a very nice cottage available and kindly moved us there. It was much nicer and a quieter area of the resort. The staff are amazing, very friendly and always ask if your ok and if you need anything. The foo [... read more]d is amazing, something a little different everyday; breakfast, lunch, snack 3-5, and then dinner. 4 meals a day, no shortage of food. There was a variety of entertainment everyday which was very good. The beaches and pools are very nice too. The only negative thing about this resort, is the security, as there are people on the beach who say they work for the resort, try and sell you excursion packages, then dont show up after you pay them. Please be aware of a guy named Bruce, as he ripped us off, he also sells shells at the watersports hut. Apparently he is a criminal, most staff at the resort know about him, but they have not arrested him for some reason. I did let guest services know about this and they said they would inform police.

Decameron runaway Bay

Hotel was dated and need some up grades. It's quite rustic for people wanting to just get away relax and have fun and enjoy the cats around the compound. I was personally disappointed with the Air Canada vacation representative Danielle that was nowhere around was not able to assist us in any way and due to the fact that we were not able to book tours or any of that leaving her several message and trying to contact her from the hotel it was not professional Air Canada needs to check into that be [... read more]cause it's their name. As far as the staff on the property very nice from the guests service check-in to the restaurants the bar big up to Delroy very nice young man was always smiling always happy watching your drinks. As always the entertainment needs work. We had no issues with the staff the housekeepers the people who are serving everyone was friendly polite even the groundsman the weather was not good at that time for us but we made the best out of it with what we had to work with thank you Natalie appreciate your help with this from trip Central

Great place to stay

Great resort to spend some relaxing in the sun. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was great and lots of choices for everyone's tastes. The entertainment was awesome. Lots of chairs at the beach and the watersports team was fantastic especially Delmart, loved the catermaran ride! Rooms were clean and the housekeeping staff were very accommodating. All the staff worked hard to make your stay enjoyable. Ps your photo does not match the resort we stayed at? .

We have been to this hotel many times--- the staff are amazing and we always look forward to seeing them. The front desk manager is amazing and always ensures we get our favourite bungalow. The hotel is currently sharing a manager with the other 2 Decameron resorts in Montego Bay so never available to guests. The food selection and prepartaion was uch better this visit than our last two visits. The one major complaint is the entertainment- the entertainment crew are young and not particularly  [... read more]talented. There is a lot of guest participation in the evenings and not much Jamaican entertainment. Also the Columbian Dancers pertorm - imderstand the hotel is operated by Columbians, but not fond of the dancers The grounds of the hotel are well maintained and the individual cottages are the big draw-- We have already booked for Christmas and look forward to seeing friends again Please note, our travel agent, Susan Snider does an amazing job for us and we adore her!!!

Amazing resort!

I found it very nice. The beach was good. Staff was very nice and helpful. The food was amazing, every meal I was very satisfying, the restaurants on the resort were so good and some of the best food I have ever had! Really enjoyed the vacation!

Good resort

We had two rooms ( huts ) side by side which made it easy for 3 people to vacation together. The rooms were clean, and the cleaners did a great job. I liked the layout and especially the huts of the resort. The entertain ent was good, especially the Michael Jackson show. The food was decent, although on the Saturday when new guests arrived the restaurant did run out of food. Drinks were decent but the wine was horrible. You need to invest in more than 1 of each white and red wine. Some of the ba [... read more]rtenders were great, but a few were extremely rude. You definitely need to invest in higher broadband for wifi, we were often without. A couple of front desk people had slight attitudes. Even with the few complaints it was a decent vacation for the money.

Great Britain ,65+ only apply

It was garbage Never staying there again and definitely will not recommend to anyone Food garbage Entertainment garbage No loungers. No chairs. 1 restaurant. 1 bar No Jamaican music. People are rude and pushy Hookers allowed inside as guests to customers Rooms loud and dirty Garbage. Do not go.

Very low value for money. High disappointment.

Was not expecting much and was disappointed by how poor the experience was overall. There was not 1 single aspect of this resort that stood out or was anything higher than just acceptable. Very poor quality product offered and wish I would have spent my money elsewhere.

Never Again Holiday from Hell

Never would I ever go to this resort again, Garden rooms are in a parking lot by the highway right where busses come in and out of., everytime theres traffic or horns it wakes you up. Mattress on a cement slab, cats meowing and defecating near room in the so called garden, large roaches out side the room. Staff not accommodating let alone friendly. Buffet you are having to find your own cutlery, cups and serve your own water and coffee lack of food and waiting for plates for meals by time you g [... read more]ot one not much food for selection. I was called discriminate name from a bar tender and made me cry. No beach chairs as people were claiming them in middle of night. Pools small and not enjoyable. Morning of departure staff knocking on door at 9am asking us to check out. Put out a so not disturb sign so we can have breakfast and shower as check out was at noon, came to room at 1130 and they were in there cleaned room out and luggage was at door of room. I could keep going on and feel we should be compensated for a holiday from hell.

Decamaron

Everything was nice beaches grounds services safe too rooms huts very nice will go back soon nothing bad about this place good music ? entertainment was every day ? ? ?????????????

Meh

Resort was pretty much what I was expecting with two exeptions. First, they ran out of beer on the wednesday and thursday. I could see this happening but would expect it to be remedied quickly not repeated the next day. Secondly they "ran out" of certain foods, that seemed to be remedied for us (4 of us) because we tip well but others went without. This method of extortion for tips would be easily eliminated with a good supply of foods and screams "Bad management" to me.
