Amazing resort!

Rooms are very clean and fresh towels and water provided daily Staff are amazing and friendly Buffet has a good variety of food and menu changes for dinner Great beach and kept very clean Could use more beach loungers especially when the hotel is very busy/booked

Decameron la marina

Thank you to the staff as they were excellent. The hotel was clean and well kept. Rooms are spacious. Lobby bar could be kept open later allowing older people to stay away from sports bar.was way too loud .Need to tone the volume down as it echos in design of hotel. Food was hood but needs more variety in evenings from day to day. Use of the other decameron hotels within walking distance is a plus. Would rate it a 3+ stay

Decameron la marina

This resort was very crowded and noisy. The property is small and there isn't any green space. The design with the hotel on 3 sides of the pool resulted in noise (as well as Karaoke) bouncing off the walls. There was no place that was quiet. Staff had very limited ability to speak English. The a la carte reservation process was unorganized and only 10 people per day were allowed to reserve.

Enjoyable trip

Very clean, rooms , dining areas clean , pool and bars too. Very hospitable friendly staff. Helpful and eager to help when needed. We also liked the sister hotel los cocos that we could visit as well. Positive experience meeting many visiting mexican tourists from various parts of Mexico. Beach area was great . Liked the hotel backed on to a town that we could explore and shop and experience the culture .. would go back !!

Small and noisy

Resort is small with the pool in the middle. Pool is crowded and loud. No were to escape the loud music played by resort and loud karaoke at night. The food was good at the buffet but the al la carte was unorganized and difficult to get into.

Not For Me

I was travelling in group of people 62 to 73. My understanding is that the building is only 4 years old so the rooms were in good shape and comfortable. We found the grounds very limited as the resort has 7 floors on a U shape with the pool, buffet, snack bar, bar and karaoke in the middle, with rooms wrapped around them. There was always loud music playing from 10:00 am till 10:00 pm. Food was good how ever there only the two restaurants, no a lacarte restaurants. There were 10 spots available [... read more] for a lacate at the sister resort ( 3 walking minutes away) but you could only go at 8:00 or 8:30 pm. The resort did not have a clear system in place for these a lacarts and from desk staff seemed to always have to be calling on a supervisor in order to approve any a lacarte bookings. I do realize I am in another country but communication was challenging as staff spoke very little English if any. I have stayed at Decameron resorts at least 4 other times but will no be returning to this one or the other 2 in this area.

Not a resort i would go back to

Decameron Marina review Feb 11 to 18 2024 We booked this vacation through SunWing. Transport from airport to Resort: 14 people were transported by a van. The driver took the non toll road which is very windy with sharp drop offs and it was dark. The driver exceeded the speed limit, swerved around rough patches into the on coming lane with on coming traffic. At on point he put on his hoodie while driving. The passenger in the front with him advised he slow down but did not. There wer [... read more]e only two seats with seat belts and my seat had a broken back. The passenger behind me tried to hold up the seat. Check in: We paid extra for ocean view rooms but when we checked in, we were told they would not be able to accommodate but we could try the next am for a room change. Two of the couples traveling with us had asked for one king bed but were give two doubles instead. Once we were in our rooms, we realized that all except a few rooms had ocean view and the others were ocean front. We paid extra, did the rest of the quests have to pay extra. Rooms: We were told the resort is 4 years old but looked much older. Towels were thin, frayed on edges and some had holes. Some days we were only given one facecloth for two people. The rooms were clean and the air conditioning was good. The pillows were very hard, water was left daily in our rooms and if more was needed there was plenty at the front desk. The hotel is built in a U shape and the noise from the pool and bars was extremely loud. It started around 10 am and went till 10pm. Karaoke was done in the bar on the second floor nightly but could still hear noise till midnight most nights. Ear plugs were used and highly recommended if planning a vacation here. The bar had 2 open walls to the pool area allowing the noise to carry to the rooms. Buffets: There was one main buffet open for all three meals and one snack bar that opened from around 11 am to 5 pm. You could always find something to eat if you could over look the fact that pigeons were present in both buffets and were seen often sitting on the serving counters eating off the plates of food put out with out covers The staff tried hard to scare them off. The main buffet had a theme every night. Two out of the 7 nights we were there it was Mexican night. WE went to the buffet around 7 pm and usually by the time we were done there was short lineups. They said reservations were able to be made and the first night we made one but no one checked to see to see if we had one. The staff in the buffet were great and helpful. Ala carte Restaurants: We are unsure of how many there was supposed to be between Decameron’s three resorts that we were able to use. We found out that only one was open every night to serve the 3 resorts at the Los Cocos. Reservations in the description of the resorts said reservations were to be made the morning after arrival. On arrival were told that you needed to line up daily at 9am to make the reservation. Our facility which had around 160 rooms was only allowed 10 spots nightly at 8 or 8:30. We did find out that the person taking reservations at the Los Cocos resort was letting people book multiple days at one time. The 2 we were able to get were very good. Activities: There were a few pool side activities and bikes to use. The road conditions around the hotel and the traffic were not conducive to riding. Pool: There were two pools beside each other, one for the children. Due to the U shape of the hotel no sun every reaches the pool area. The pools were small and water cold. The loud noise in the area made it undesirable to sit by the Pool. We did have access to the pools at the Los Cocos and found one that was quiet and no one used. The weather was not nice while we were there. One day it rained all day with heavy rains for a few hours with high winds. Because the buffets, bar, lobby etc are all open there was really no where to go to get out of the rain, wind and cold except your room. Beach: allowed for long walks and easy walking. There was a shortage of beach chairs and if you did not geta chair before 9 am you would have to rent one from local vendors on the beach. There was a sign that said restricted access to the raised part of the beach but there were ++ people selling everything from food to trinkets on the beach and private vendors setting up tables and chairs. Area around the resort: there was a market in the area on Monday that we went to and found interesting. The market on Thursday at La Penita was not worth going to. If booking at theses hotels understand you are in a rural small town. There are a lot of souvenir shops but all are basically the same. The streets and roads are rough to walk on. This is a hotel for people that just want to lay on the beach. Would I recommend any of the Decameron resorts in Ricon---No. I think the description of the resort given by Sun Wing was not accurate.

It’s a 2-2.5 star resort but still nice

For new resort, it’s only 3-4 years old, it is very run down. The towels are cheap and falling apart, the furniture is peeling, lots of rust everywhere. They had a row of 8-10 bikes, only 1 was in working condition. Your room key is on a cord to wear around your neck. That being said it is on the ocean and it’s kept very clean. Staff is wonderful, not the Sunwing rep, she was impossible to find and not helpful. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms have black out curtains, which [... read more] were great except when you wanted light but didn’t want your neighbours across the pool to see you. They need some shear curtains. Beds were comfortable and because we had 2 beds we had lots of extra pillows. TV worked great with a few English channels. No dressers for clothes, there’s a spot for a fridge but it is empty. So a big empty hole with a door instead of a fridge or drawers. No storage in the bathroom except for a rack over the toilet. Good pressure in the shower and lots of hot water. Food was ok. Breakfast was probably the best. Especially the fresh cooked eggs and omelets. The scrambled eggs were chewy and flavourless. The pancakes and French toast was prepared ahead of time and not great. The oriental night was the best. Lots of flavours and the meat was very tender. Mexican night was also very good. The pasta was terrible, like it had been boiled for a few hours and the sauce was tomato soup. You could always find something to eat, lots of fresh fruit and the salads were nice. The alcohol is nonexistent. I don’t know if they water it down or just buy really bad stuff but you cannot get drunk here! Even drinking beer all day long you won’t get the tiniest bit drunk! A friend doesn’t drink more than one drink in the evening and she didn’t get drunk doing tequila shots. Not much going on in the evenings, you need to go off resort to find entertainment at night. Guayabitos has a beautiful long beach with a nice entry. Vendors are plentiful but not abrasive. The town is lovely. Lots of great restaurants and street food. Venture out, it’s worth it. If you can get a good price and love a good beach you’ll enjoy the La Marina.

Very nice resort and friendly service

I stay in hotel between Dec.20 - Dec.27. I love the way how hotel prepare Christmas dinner with all this decoration and amazing food - it was really impressive. Friendly stuff and funny bartenders. Showers were little bit outdated but otherwise OK. Would sure love to be back....

Just lovely

Really sweet staff, wonderful Mexican family oriented beach,,, lots of happy children , moms and dads. The food was fresh and tasty! Not noisy after 10:00 pm,,, the rooms were clean and comfy… the view breathtaking:)

Not for everyone but… Jen for older people

This is a Mexican vacationing resort so their are lots of nice Mexico. Service was amazing, struggled with employees speaking English and the rooms were nice. Looking for a party area please don’t come here, looking for relaxing low budget vacation come here

Resort

The hotel was nice and clean. The staff were very pleasant, but most of them only spoke Spanish unless you went to the front desk and a few bartenders. Most of their clients were Mexican who were great people very pleasant and respectful. But did not speak English.. the entertainment sucked as everything was in Spanish and I didn’t understand and unfortunately my room was above the karaoke bar, which ran till around 1 AM and was so loud and everything was in Spanish so I did not take part in t [... read more]he activity and kept me awake sometimes and had to turn the TV up loud to drown this singing most of all I was very disappointed as my Sunwing representative at the airport said since the bus could not go to the hotel that they would stop on a street but bellhops would be there to help us take our suitcases to the hotel. This never happened and we were six people over the age of 60 and 70 stuck in the middle of a street trying to figure out where our hotel was. We were very afraid and anxiety was high as we didn’t know where to go after over a half hour we found somebody that understood some English, and told us where to go from the bus dropping us off to the hotel was a good three blocks Two of us had a disability and mobility issues, and had to pull her suitcases one with a cane and the other with a walker as we arrived upon the hotel, nobody even helped us, go up that ramp and the stairs to get into the hotel lobby

Decameron la marina

The resort was very clean people constantly working to keep it clean. We were unaware that it was quite a distance from Puerto Vallarta which was another change in time. The rooms were well kept and very clean Unfortunately communication was very difficult as we found resort was geared to the Mexican community where it was 99.9% Spanish language we had difficulty finding a person who could speak English. When we arrived at the resort we had no one to guide us as to where to go we felt we w [... read more]ere left out in the street to find our way around no bellboy to help with luggage considering we had a person using a walker and one with a cane the roads were difficult to walk on so it was somewhat discouraging to deal with this. The food was ok but no bacon or sausage at anytime. The steak house meal was delicious. We were unaware that the shows were at the other resort which we were never told. In our resort every night it was keroke very loud and totally Spanish. For myself I would not return as it was so far from Puerto Vallarta

Nice, small resort

Clean, friendly staff but not many staff, including front desk staff, were not speaking English. Easy access to all areas - pool, beach, restaurant Limited availability for a la carte restaurants Variety of activities, yet hard to participate if not understanding Spanish

Sunny vacation

Resort was decent value for the money and most staff were good and assisted when they could with the exception of older male at front desk. He was rude and not helpful. Recommend that front desk staff be fluent in English to assist visitors.

Decameron Le Marina, Guyabetos

We had been in Decameron Los cocos several tines. But this is a newer fecility. It is comparatively smaller than the previous one but newer. The view was amazing. Very clean rooms. The staff were fantastic and very courtious. We loved it.

Enjoyable

The Decameron hotels have expanded to three properties in Rincon. Nice that you can use all three as you wander about that long beach. Very Mexican, and not your typical westernized all inclusive, which is either good or not, depending on your perspective. This trip marks our tenth visit to the Decameron in Rincon. The people in general and the staff at the hotel are incredibly friendly and helpful keep going back.

Fun vacation

This hotel is smaller but has all the amenities we needed . Kayaks , paddle boards , not a lot of events at the pool but we were ok with that . Rooms were clean , showers hot , public areas clean! Food that should be cold was kept on ice! Not a ton of variety but lots of it , fresh salads and fruit. One downfall was one front desk employee did not speak ANY English , hopefully that was rectified . All other staff were pleasant and helpful. Could have used a small fridge in room to keep our wa [... read more]ter cold but bars had lots of water and ice. Beach was clean and chairs were always clean .

Best Vacation Ever

We won a trip to De Cameron La Marina in Nov 2019 & finally were able to go Feb 2022. We took our 2.5 year old son & it was the BEST vacation I have ever taken. The hotel staff was incredibly helpful & friendly. Amenities were spotless. Food was incredible. The town outside hotel was safe & inviting! We love it there!

Not what we were expecting

We have not experienced an all-inclusive holiday quite like this one. We believe that this hotel should not be renting their rooms out as they are still under renovations. We were on the sixth floor Oceanview which was beautiful But that was the only good thing about this hotel. Every morning we were woken up by people working on rooms above us on the seventh floor. It was constant banging nailing drilling hammering noises. They opened January 20, 2020 and still have not installed railings on th [... read more]e stairs. We only had one working elevator the other one was not in service our whole stay. We had one day where both elevators were down and we were forced to take the stairs which I was very frightened by got dizzy stuck to the wall and by the time I reached the sixth floor I wanted to puke. It is very dangerous as it is all concrete and a huge opening where anyone could fall all the way down. The pool was freezing cold as it only got an hour of sun a day. Because they had buildings on each side of the pool blocking the sun. Luckily for us we were considered a four-star which allowed us to go to the other three resorts. Our food wasn’t great so we would walk to the other resort where it was a little bit better. There was only one entertainment show a night which would be Mexican music, karaoke, a live band one night and only for an hour to two hours. Our first few mornings we couldn’t get any coffee until the restaurants opened up at 8 AM. We didn’t have a mini fridge or a coffee maker in our room. By the third morning they had coffee in the snack area starting at 6 AM. It was so hard to find a staff member that spoke English Which made it hard to order food, drinks, or ask any questions. The staff were extremely helpful where they could be an extremely Pleasant. We are very glad that we didn’t spend the extra for our three kids to join us. There was nothing to do there for children. This was our first time at an all inclusive resort in Mexico and I am sad to say that we will not be returning. We have been to several all-inclusive resorts before and never ever experienced anything like this.
