Nice resort
I liked the hotel and everything was in close walking distance from the room. The food was good the staff was friendly. There wasnt any hot water in the room until about the 4th day there but it wasnt a big deal. The shows were great especially the steel drums.

What an amazing resort
This is my second time visiting this resort and I will continue to go until I am proven that there is something wrong. The people are just amazing. The staff really cares about you. No one is pushy and no expectations are had. My most favorite people are Marcus the tour rep, The smile of his is so contagious. Nadae Semone Konia the front desk agents are so incredible. Make you feel so welcomed. Nathaniel the chef is so kind and ensures our dining needs are to our satisfaction. Nothing can stop me from going back. I am already looking to book in a few months.

Nice Subtle Family Vibe in Perfect Location
Its the perfect spot on the hip strip, close to craft market, free beaches, convenient stores, clubs, restaurants and less than 10 mins from airport. The hotel has lots of swimming, sunbathing areas and good food. Excellent staff!!!! Although they could use more. Spacious rooms and not an overwhelming property. Entertainment is just okay. Its the perfect budget trip if you don't want to spend top much and don't expect "high end". The hotel is doing some good renovations so it will only get better.

Great place!
The hotel was being renovated while we were there which was fine because it will make even nicer to stay at. Our room was ok. Needs a little facelift but the bed was comfy, lots of hot water and water pressure in shower and the view was spectacular. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. The pool where the bar was could be cleaned better but we still used it. All in all a pretty decent resort.

Both good and bad
Some rooms were old and musty, after 2 weeks we were able to change room which was renovated but we had to accept 3rd floor luckily we are fit seniors my husband is 85 years old, a other reson for changing room was extremely loud music with the system crank up to maximum. On could not relax even during breakfast and supper, When we asked to have volume turned down we told ths was a party place basically discmatory reply indicating we were old for this place. The loudnes was extrm in Canada would be illegal for public place. Rooms were extremely damp our in the morning would be wet. As far as food, drinks and alcohol beverages are concerned it was excellent. We had option to eat in both facilities Decameron Montego Bay and Cornwell. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for opportunity to share our experience.

Absolutely the worst !!!
My husband and I have vacationed in many countries and resorts. This was truly the worst experience we have ever had to endure. We arrived at the Grand Decameron Montego Beach around 6pm, tired and hungry. We were greeted by a less than welcoming front desk employee, given our keys and a pamphlet telling us where everything is. No personal information given, no tour, just a man to help with luggage to our room. Following this we had to find where the buffet was, so we could have supper. Our room was adjacent to the pool and the swim up bar, which turned out to be the worst spot, as the entertainment guy was so loud over his loudspeaker that we often had to go into our room to converse, as we had to yell at each other to be heard. Complaints to the front desk went unheard, and it continued thru out our 2 weeks there. A very surly front desk person told my husband " move or get use to it". We were advised by other guests to not move, as they received a room so full of mold, their daughter was unable to remain there due to her asthma. The internet display of this hotel states there were 4 A La cart restaurants, there is only ONE, with a very limited menu. They also say they have a spa.... but the hot tub didn't work. The crushed ice machines didn't work in 2 of the 3 bars, so your drink options were limited. On day 3 of our "vacation" a woman overdosed by the pool, requiring medical attention. For this I give the resort nurse kudos, as she did an excellent job giving CPR and using the ECD. By day three, we had not had any room service. Once again, I had to walk to the front desk and complain. Eventually that day we did get someone to come, and left us ONE bath towel for the two of us. The next day , out of complete frustration with the guest services person, I walked over to the other Decameron so I could speak to the Sunwing rep. It was her day off, but the front desk staff called her at home. I explained our frustration, breaking down in tears. ( I had to walk over to the other decameron, as we still didn't have a phone in our room after 4 days) The manager for that building heard me on the phone and asked to talk to me following my call. The sunwing rep was not helpful. He took me back to our resort in a cab, spoke to the entertainment people to turn down the music, got us towels, and told us to call the front desk if the entertainment people increased the volume. This was much appreciated, especially the cab ride, because I am only able to walk short distances due to medical reasons. Calling the front desk was ineffective after he left, and as stated before, we were told to move or get use to it. The Buffet needs to be addressed also..... The food was bland, and often the steam tables were empty after only a sort time that you signed into the buffet with your room number and your name, which we found weird at best. Christmas was a disappointment, with nothing special, other than some Christmas carols playing in the lobby. They did serve turkey on Christmas eve, but the vegetables were all gone, and there were tiny roast potatoes. No glasses for juice, and we finished our meal before anyone gave us water. This was a common problem in the buffet,and was always met with " we are short staffed". The was a gentleman that went around inspecting, everything, admonishing the serving staff in front of all the guests. Very uncomfortable for everyone, I'm sure. There is no Sunwing rep or any other rep at this resort. You have to go to the other Decameron for any assistance. I really did have to give myself a week to stop being so angry and disappointed to write this. Everyday was tears, everyday it was something else not working (hot water ) (door lock) we couldn't wait to come home. I did try with sunwing to come home early, but there was no availability other than the flight we were already book on. When at the airport a young man that helped me with wheelchair transfer to our gate informed me that this hotel had recently been on strike. Not surprising.

Delightful!
I would go back to this resort in a heartbeat even though there were a few negative things. You have to understand they had lots of damage due to a storm and doing a great job fixing up the outside. The new boardwalk was very nice. The grounds themselves were very well maintained. The rooms are a little outdated and need some TLC but really how long are you in there anyway. I found my bed and pillows very comfortable. I wouldn't say the food was amazing but it was good and you won't go hungry. Lots of drink choices. I can't say enough about the staff. OMG they were all so genuinely nice and not because they wanted a tip. I loved Jamaica ?? and loved this resort ?

What an Amazing Time!
This hotel is amazing with all that you could possibly need all in a row. Our room, vendors, A la Carte Restaurant, hot tub, bar/entertainment area ( & disco), buffet, spa, pools and snack bar. The beach out front of all of this and the use of the facilities next door! We also went off of the resort for excursions and to shop and I can't say one bad thing about the place. The food and the drinks were plentiful and varied, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and even traversing the Jamaican airport was smooth and uneventful. We made some great friends across several generations and I just can't wait to go back!!!!

At least the AC is working and the view is spectacular!
I'm not a fan of leaving reviews, but future visitors to the country need to know. The only two things great about this hotel is the AC works wonderfully, and the view of the blue waters and sunset is spectacular. My husband and I stayed in this hotel for a week. Wowed by the beautiful clean ocean, and the sunset views, I looked beyond the wreck of what should've been our walk-out-to-the-beach-from-the-room accommodation. The typhoon that hit the island a week before we arrived wasn't the resort's fault, so I'm not going to stress on that. But surely, typhoon-hit or not, they can wash the silverware/cutlery, glass, and plates, right? NOPE. So, future guests, bring your own spoon, fork, knife, glass, else you will be wearing the lipstick of the lady who used the wares before you did. By day 3, I learned that they have disposable paper cups just by the bar for tea and coffee. I grab 2 of these for our juice in the morning, and for dinner, we always get alcoholic drinks because they put straws in those. (Come to think of it, I don't know if they recycle straws too!) Food was sub-par. I didn't want to tell my husband, but I noticed that if there was steamed vegetable for supper, there'd be vegetable quiche for breakfast the following morning. Food repurposing. So, are we eating fresh food? The beach, oh, the beach situation! The early bird gets the worm. Get up before 6, head to the beach OF THE NEIGHBORING HOTEL (nope, we didn't have a beach!) and reserve a beach chair by draping a towel on it. EVERYDAY! A chore while on vacation, yeah, sign me up! Merely hours before arriving, my husband noticed that they didn't give us a key to the safe, this after he talked to front desk that we needed a safe. He called and was rudely asked "Well, did you ask for a key?" Erm, wouldn't that be a given? He tells you he needs a safe, that means you should give him a key, otherwise, it's not a very safe safe then, is it? Duh! Oh, and Royal Decameron Montego Beach, please don't call your hotel an all inclusive resort if you run out of ice-cream or if your guests end up buying beer (beer!) outside of your premises because your capacity is only 1 tiny can per 20 guests! These people paid for all inclusive (including beer!). And towels in the rooms, which you seem to run out of as well. Mind you, not everything was below 1 star. Some of the staff are friendly, and their evening performances are entertaining. Unfortunately, these weren't enough to entice us to recommend this resort to anyone.

Royal Decameron Montego Beach Still Rocks!
We came back from a week in Montego Bay on Nov 22nd. We had been to the RD Montego Beach approximately a decade ago and had loved it. Reading the reviews before booking about RDMB was a little surprising to see the more negative reviews. We love the place because it is smaller, and the food is very good. This is a 3 star resort and I think people sometimes expect 5 star amenities wherever they go. RDMB is very clean, and the staff ensures the food is safe by randomly checking the temperature of the food. The buffet Passa Passa has a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, breads, cheese, cereal, etc. The buffet offers variations of preparations of these foods daily. The a la carte restaurant Souk is excellent, preparing Jamaican cuisine in new ways, including Asian fusion. As a bonus, RDMB’s sister resort, RD Cornwall Beach is right next door, and you can use all the amenities there, including their a la carte restaurant, Olivia, featuring seafood. The grounds were immaculate, which was very important to me since my mother is elderly and has problems seeing the ground when she’s walking. The staff was amazing; friendly, helpful and they really take care of people with mobility issues. So many times they would tell us to take our time, and made some amenities more easily accessible for her, without asking. Jamaicans vacation here as well, and we had so much fun. You know a place is good when the locals stay there! If you are looking for a 5 star sprawling resort, this is not the place for you. This place is for people looking for a gorgeous beach, great staff and a family feel. We shall be back!

Resort Review! Royal Decameron Montego Bay.
We spent March 31-April 9th at this resort, and we got a great price as we booked this back in July 2022 and it was well worth it! Pluses are the Beach, they have a Great Beach area, the sand is soft and lots of different access point to get on the Beach, we really didn't have to search for empty chairs there was always one available, but ppl are putting their towels on them and reserving them for the Day. There is also the Pool area which consists of one large pool and another smaller one, with a Pool Bar right there which is cool. The food was Great, lots of Variety to choose from, and we were happy with the Food for sure. The staff is courteous and work well together for the most part, I think since it is getting busier that they may need more staff, as sometimes there is a bit of a wait for service but its okay! The Bar staff is fun too. Front desk staff was great, and there is a sister resort (Cornwall Beach) that You have access too (the beach, bars and restaurants), and they are newer building so a bit nicer overall but we went for dinner there one night and had to wait inline for abit and the food was not as good IMO, but it is cool to have access to another place for one price! Minuses are the room we stayed in was quite a distance away from everything, we were right by the public beach which had street vendors on daily/nightly and at times they played their music quite loudly at night, but it was cool to see the local action in play. The Entertainment on our side was fantastic, they had live music, circus acts, magicians, it was very Entertaining and was a packed house, they put in allot of effort here to to make it a good time had by all! There were tour operators at the Newer Resort to help you with that stuff. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great deal and fun times!!

Great time
Been here 3 times, so no new surprises. Was nice to use the sister resort next door. Only issues were a rude bartender, my friend reported him to the resort manager but it didn't make any difference. And other bartenders waiting on sweet young things and making us older people wait ages for drinks. Some of the wait staff in the buffet dining room could smile once in awhile but otherwise a great time

Disappointing Decameron
This was our fourth visit to Royal Decameron, Montego Beach. We did not get the two bedded room we requested in the main building on a higher floor but a double bedded room in the Sunset Bldg on ground floor. The room was damp with the door facing the ocean which did not open/close properly. We were told it was due to the humidity. Also two stairs to get into the bathroom with a fixed glass shower door which pushed water onto the floor. Closet also warped from humidity. We waited until 4:00 pm the following day to move to the main building. A king bedded room. Toilet did not flush properly and lights in bathroom needed to be replaced. We reported this on Nov.11 and it was fixed on Nov.15. Elevator in main building is no longer there and there are flour floors? Front Desk advised it is "good exercise". I updated AC rep - never received a reply after two messages and phone calls. She advised there is no rep on hotel site and AC does not have access. But Air Transat does? Appreciating that COVID has presented challenges, however no quality control on maintaining the rooms. Tables in restaurant often not set or missing cutlery/glasses - restaurant was not busy during our stay. Dirty plates left outside doors for two days. We always enjoyed Decameron and never complained before, hence our return, but not this time. I visited the newer sister hotel next door which seemed better organized and staffed. Grounds and pool area were their usual good standard as before - no complaints. Management needs to step up. I will also be contacting AC and Decameron.

Terrible Time
Where to begin anymore.... Me and my wife stayed for 9 days.. A week before we arrived there was a storm.. It damaged the beaches and boardwalks.... They worked pretty hard to fix them up.. and honestly I looked passed all of that it was out of there hands. My family has stayed here several times and even rented the big suite on the roof. So it was very highly recommended. Let me say.... the pool... entertainment and outside bar staff ARE AMAZING..The best I've ever had from a resort.They make you have fun NON stop and take your mind off a bad time your having in your room.....Let me explain.. After we checked into our room I noticed a weird smell that I couldnt place... I also noticed the lock on the door over looking the main drag montego bay was sketchy... It didnt let my wife feel safe. But we said "Hey we are here!!! Nothings going to happen anyways..." We then went out to our balcony sat down only to have a broken balcony gazebo in our view.... it looked as if it had been broken for a while. I said well this sucks... will just stand I guess and we laughed.... And then... Before dinner my wife went to have a shower.... 2mins into her shower the water pressure is gone.... like I mean GONE.....and zero hit water (we took videos) she had to play with it for 10 minutes just to rinse her hair out.... I said ok this is insane... When we head down for dinner we will get someone up here to fix this..... When we went to the front desk we said we asked to speak to a manager... We were told the manager wasnt in but they would send a maintenance guy to check the water and our other issues stated above... We went for dinner came back to the room and noticed our view on the balcony still blocked and the smell was still in the room. I never checked the water pressure because well I was exhausted after a long day. They next morning we went back downstairs. I asked if my room was going to have things fixed... they assured me it would all be done today.... At the end of the day we came back to the room to get ready for dinner... the view on the balcony was still blocked and the room had an odor of sewage... I'm like great...as my wife was in the shower for only 5 mins I could hear her yell "ARE YOU FRIGGIN SERIOUS RIGHT NOW" I ask what was wrong? She says theres NO pressure. I called downstairs asked for a manager to come upstairs... They told me to hold for several minutes then hung up... I called back down and asked what was going on... I was then told a manager was coming... my wife continued to get ready as we waited... before we headed down I called and asked if a manager was going to come.about an hr had passed.... I was then told he did come but no one answered the door.... This was a false statement because all we were doing was waiting for him..... We confirmed the room number they said yes... We went downstairs and I asked to talk to him... Only to be told he was gone home for the day again... even though he was just... here.... I left a msg to be seen in the morning... In the morning by then we are on day 3... I asked to talk to the manager and was told he wasnt in. And they would send maintenance up when we went back up to our room.. So that's what we did we called and maintenance came up.. We showed him all of our concerns..... - The smell of sewage (I'm told by the cleaning lady can only be controlled by keeping the bathroom door closed and fan on) like for real? - My view being blocked on the balcony - The lack of lock on the door - And the water pressure.... The maintenance man said he was busy but it would he fixed... We left for the day visited a school and hospital came back late went to shower and again.... No water pressure and nothing in the room has been addressed... I said ok he said he was busy... Theres always tomorrow.... Next day we confirmed if someone was still coming we were told yes... I said good I was getting sick of showering on the beach.... they laughed I didnt... At the end of the day guess what.... nothing done....that was day 4... The next morning we left for an excursion... before we left we had cold showers with dribbling water pressure. I told the woman at the front desk nothing had been done yet. I asked for the manager.... She called litterally 5 different numbers no answer until someone finaly picked up and she said someone will be there to fix it all today. Again...no manager.... We went out for the day came back to our room and NOTHING WAS DONE. Of course theres no manager because its "too late sir". The next morning I emailed my agent... I gave her the rundown of everything that had happened thus far... I sent her pictures of my room and things we were dealing with... She was blown away and "disturbed" from what she was seeing... She then told me to find the transat agent with a blue binder and they should be able to help me.... I asked the front desk where I can find her... I was pointed to the road "bus pick up is over there" I was like... WTF?!?!? My agent then gave me contact info to report emergency while at resort. I then copy and paste my email off then I sent my agent and continued to wait... A few hrs passed and my agent told me where I could find the transat agent... When we went to see her instead of asking if we were ok or what had happened.... me and my wife were bombarded with "YOU SHOULD OF SEEN US SOONER" "WHY DIDNT YOU TAKE OUR BUS YOU WOULD OF GOTTEN OUR PACKAGE" I said I booked my trip through an agent... I never needed a ride...or help.... until I got here.... I said I tried dealing with this myself for 5 days and it's gotten no where.... The transat agent I talked too said theres nothing she could do today.. as shes filling in for the other agent... and the GM Mr. Montague isnt in today.. (the same GM I've asked for several times that is never around) I'm told to deal with it again another night.... the hotel and sister hotel are over booked... I'm told to come back in the morning and talk to the GM and regular woman working as Transat agent... I emailed my agent back informed her what was happening and waited till morning. So now day 6 my birthday the main reason for making this trip..... what a great time 🙄 I go looking for the agent... I introduce myself. I start telling her my situation (you could tell from her body language towards us she knew all about it and was annoyed to be dealing with it).. She also then continued to be easily offended by what I had to say about our experience... She then starts accusing me of making things up because I didnt come see her sooner. I tried telling her what was going on.. I told her I didnt even know there was an onsite agent person here and I tried dealing with things myself... but enough was enough... she then says "No one else here has complained ... I'm being told they cant move the awning... and they have no idea what your smell issue is they don't smell anything ... and theres nothing wrong with the plumbing" from what shes being told..by the way who have you spoken too can I have names?!" I said listen I'm on vacation... I've been dealing with bullshit for 6 days... I dont care for anyone's name I can point them out to you... but no one seems to care anyways. Do you want to come see my room? Want to come smell it? She replied "No sir" Well then here and I pulled the phone out showed pictures and played a video of my wife with shampoo in her hair... I said is this acceptable? I'm on vacation man and this is my birthday and this is just bullshit.... She left for a few minutes came back told me to check out of my room and they would give me a new one today.... Btw I still have yet to speak to the GM of the hotel..... NEVER SEEN HIM IN 6 DAYS NOW. Later that day we were relocated to a different room where we spent the final 3 days... the room was exceptionally better.. Funny part of this... that afternoon I'm at the pool... I look up at the room we checked out of and someone already in there... THEY FIXED NOTHING.... AND PEOPLE JUST GOT PUT IN THERE LIKE GET REAL! OTHER ISSUES VENDORS This hotel allows 4-5 different vendors to set up a day in the resort. The idea is awesome. Until you gotta walk by these people... THEY DONT STOP HARASSING YOU!!! Your walk to your room and you're just bombarded "Come check out my stuff" "I have kids I have to pay for" "I'll make you a deal" "what's this worth to you?" When you say no man I'm good... THEY GET WORSE!!!!! "Take this... take this" "just give me what you have" "why do you support this guy buying from him and not from me?" If people wanted to deal with this they would go out the front gate and be harassed. Its unreal they allow this.... I had to walk by them everytime I left and went to my room... I'm not kidding when I say this... one day I was harassed 15 times by one area... 15 TIMES MAN. even after I said NO I GOT NOTHING TODAY.. FOOD BUFFET: or should I say lack there of? The meat options are terrible.... in the morning you better line up at 6am to get a peice of bacon...because they dont want to refill the small tin of it.. (told by a cook) So unless you want lamb or pork almost every night you have almost nonother selection.... They have more bread options then protein... HOURS: If you have a long day and get back and want to eat.... well you better be back by 9:30pm or ur not eating till 11:30pm theres no food in between. I was told to check out the bar area for food... I went over to soggy sandwich... like come on I'm paying for this... STAFF: You know what's cool? Taco night.... you know what's not cool? As a cook is making your tacos staff comes from the back and starts making there own food beside urs on the grill... pick it up.with napkins and start eating it around the cook making your food... like are we for real here??? Terrible place wouldnt reccomend

First time in beautiful Jamaica!!!!!
Arrived at Royal Decameron Montego Beach for our very first trip to Jamaica check in went smooth front desk staff were very welcoming. This is a small resort which I enjoyed, has everything you need. There always seemed to be lots going on for entertainment through out the day. I will say though I was expecting a little more for a 3 1/2 star resort in Jamaica as far as appearance etc the resort itself is quite dated and in need of some repairs and updating in order to be considered a 3 1/2 star. I usually vacation in Cuba and have read many reviews comparing the 2 destinations, many say a 3 1/2 star in Cuba is like a 5 star in Jamaica, I found the grounds at any Cuban Resort I’ve stayed at 3 1/2 star to a 4 star were much nicer and in better condition then this resort. I booked our vacation in early November for April and got it at a decent price so there for got what I paid for, if I had paid anymore I would have been disappointed. If you could get a decent price at the sister property next door which is newer you can use both resorts. If you get this resort at a decent price then it’s worth the stay. We stayed in room # 423 in the main building right above the main pool it was a great room with a beautiful view. Note: if you like to go to bed early request a room away from the stage entertainment area because it would be very load and goes sometimes until 11:00pm. Pros: only 5 minutes from the airport - Things to do within walking distance, such as Margaritaville. Restaurants, Doctors Cave beach, hip strip etc - all but 11 rooms are ocean view (I booked run of the house rooms and got ocean view :) - Beaches are nice and could always find a chair with shade pretty much anytime of the day. - Enjoyed the food - Enjoyed the nightly shows/entertainment. - Enjoyed late check out until 3pm $25pp - great AC - Rooms are clean Cons: Buffet tended to run out of things and took awhile to be replenished. - waiting staff has to go too far to get drinks soda’s etc which takes away from their ability to give good service to other waiting guests, would be easier if they had self serve pop machine etc, not enough staff working the buffet at times. - Shower Water temps were all over the map sometimes could turn very hot while in the shower then water could suddenly stop not returning for a few minutes. - Definitely bring your own insulated cup for drinks. - Have to pay for wifi - Have to pay for safe - No fridge in room

Great stay
Hotel was clean and well maintained. I really disliked how you don’t have a fridge nor free safe or wifi. But overall great stay staff very friendly. Really loves “Bar Bar†Alisha at the swim up bar she was amazing. The food was decent but wished they had more variations. Great place for a relaxed vacation and the shows were excellent.

A Good Resort
The Royal Decameron Montego Beach is a resort that needs a lot of updating. The rooms and bathrooms were quite tired and could use a facelift. The rest of the resort was quite good. The food was quite good except they don't replenish very quickly. The Pool areas were quite nice. We never had a problem getting lounge chairs around the pool. We did go to the beach at the Sister Resort next door. It's quite lovely. The evening entertainment was good and the daytime activities were fun. The Pool bar and staff was good except always late opening. You can't even get a pop before the first bar opens. We enjoyed our stay but probably won't go back to this resort again.

I pretty much loved everything about this resort and can't wait to go back. The staff are so friendly and fun.

Our home away from home
We are repeat guests at Royal Decameron Montego Beach. We love the staff and we love the location. The resort provides a great variety of entertainment and nightly shows ... love that!!! We have been vacationing in Montego Bay for over 11 years now and it took some time but we believe we have found our home away from home at Royal Decameron Montego Beach. As we noted in our comments when leaving the resort, we plan on coming back time and time again. The few suggestions that we made were that they need to keep up on their maintenance around the resort as it has slipped a bit, keep it up and keep it beautiful. Better wine selection as the white house wine was not very good at all. Also if repairs are being done and water needs to be shut off temporarily the hotel should let the guests know so that they do not come back to their rooms and find out at the last minute that the toilet will not flush and their is no water for a shower. We also wanted to mention that it was disappointing that so many Cornwall Guest took over so many of the beach chairs beside the Grill Restaurant, it made it very difficult for Montego Beach Guests to get a chair and relax in the smaller main beach area they are provided with, especially since the Cornwall side has such a big beach area and several chairs available to them on the Cornwall side. I understand they have full use of both sides and that we have use of their beach area but as I said it was very difficult to get a chair unless up at 6:30 am and we were their for 15 days and had this issue every day. Just a few little call outs but overall we love this place. We look forward to going back to Royal Decameron Montego Beach again next year and many more years to come. Thank you Lea-Anne and Harris Dryden

But if you want a relaxing stress free resort, this is the place for you.We loved all the staff. So friendly. Food was awesome. Beds super comfy. Rooms were large and so clean. Weather perfect.

The hotel is dated, however, it is very clean and well maintained, the food selection has improved from our first visit in Feb. 2018. The Entertainment Staff where awesome, kept guests involved. I would suggest more fogging, one our first visit, in Oct. 2017, over the course of 7 days, they fogged 3 times. This time we spent 14 days, and the property in front of the lobby got fogged, and nothing else.

The view
I have stayed here several times as well as the adjacent sister resort Cornwall beach. The resort is small so you don’t get multiple restaurants. There is one al a carte and the main buffet. I love that they focus on island fare, ox tail, jerk chicken & pork, curry goat, etc. It’s all great and they always have homemade cookies. This resort is one of my favourites due to the food, the staff, and the location of being 5 min from the airport. It is older so if you want new go to the sister resort next store. They both have fantastic ocean views from almost every room. The Royal Decameron Montgomery beach has 144 rooms with only about 10 called run of the house which do not have ocean side balconies. Our balcony was so close to the water that from the third floor we could not even see the small beach below us, only the water which is great with many shades of blue THE VIEWS Are gorgeous. You won't get this view at most other resorts without paying a huge premium. The entertainment is good at night.

Great resort, friendly staff, great location
First impression was "where have we just booked" when we pulled up, but once inside and on the resort what a beautiful place, great friendly staff, so many things to do. The property is long across the shoreline which was different than we were used to but amazing set up that way one end had the night entertainment the other had a lot of the day entertainment so if you are into one more than the other its easy to pick what side of the hotel you should stay on. Food was really good, we ate at the buffet every day and the food was really great, they also had snack bar which had foods like pizza, burgers, grilled cheese etc. Security was always around the resort and we felt vary safe leaving, there was a lot of local shops out front and down the road to bars. There is a bus from the resort that will also take you to some local bars. Hotel room had everything we needed, room was cleaned daily, if you slept in and let them know you weren't ready to be cleaned they would come back later in the day which was nice. I think throughout the week they came in and did some bug spraying because our suitcases smelt odd even after we came home, but hey...we didnt see any bugs. The ocean views are amazing, we could see sting rays and other fish from our balcony and jumping off the docks and swimming in the crystal clear water was amazing. It was approx 10-15ft off the dock and bouncing on the trampoline was fun also. Never without a place to lay in the sun, chairs were available all the time not like some resorts where people fill them up with their towels nightly entertainment was awesome, extraordinary house band and tons of activities! All around I would definitely recommend this resort we hard a really great experience

Great value
The place is 5 minutes from the airport which is very handy because next time we wont wait for the bus which was about 90 minutes before it left. The facilities are older but very functional. The food was quite good and very different every day. The day time activities were generally fun. The evening show was nothing special but they tried. You have to get used to the Jamaican time at the bars as service was always slow. Other than Appleton's Rum they did not have any top booze brands. Our biggest complaint was if a bar ran out of a product (tequila) they would be out for that day--this happened several times---so no more Margaritas or whatever the bar ran out of The best part was it was smaller and everything is right there. Our room was like an older hotel room but every room has a great view of the ocean in front of you

Not a great resort
This was our second year at the Decameron and it was not as good as the first time. The food was not great but the staff were great. We saw a man die on the beach and the life guard tried so very hard to revive him but unfortunately it was to late. I did not see any management there to help his wife and other than the life guard there was only a guest giving mouth to mouth. I would have thought the resort would have had a defibrillator and there would have been a plan in place for such an event. I would not want anything happening to me at that resort.

Both my husband and I truly enjoyed the very welcoming and accommodating hotel staff!! At the Front Desk, Miss Jodi-Ann Johnson and Moeisha Donald both wonderful examples of amazing client services!!! Never ever did we have to ask for anything, both Ladies always acknowledging our presence and inquiring if we needed anything to not hesitate to call for them, and this kind treatment was provided to all guests!! Mr Demar Thomas has a kind soul, his welcoming of newly arrived guests goes far beyond his job description, this demonstrated by his extra attention to all guests and one step further for those who have physical limitations. In the dining room, Miss Stacey Campbell, Mr. Tyrese, Miss Sandra to name just a very few always greeted us and all guests with the most amazing smiles, but then your hotel staff all have the most beautiful smiles!! But we would also like to give a special thank you to Miss Ann Marie, your Client Service Specialist for Air Transat, my husband had forgotten an item on the plane, we were greeted by Miss Ann Marie who took action and got my husband's item within just an hour!! This meant the world for my husband!!

Our recent stay at the Royal Decameron Montego Beach Jamaica was perfect. We are repeat guests, but had family come with that we're first timers to Jamaica. Lovely to see familiar staff, food was fantastic, couldn't have asked for better accommodations. We love this resort, feels like home for us, no surprises, we know what to expect and we like that.

We were pleasantly surprised, to tell you the truth. I have certain physical challenges and I require a mobility device (scooter) to get around. I was able to go from one end of the resort, to the other, with little restriction. We found the entertainment staff, lifeguards, security, and most of the bar staff, to be very polite and friendly. Our room was always clean. Thanks to the housekeeping staff. The amenities were great. We liked the two pools...in case your feeling a little less rowdy, there is a quieter pool behind the swim up pool bar area. We have a few suggestions, but overall... "Hell Yeah, We'd Come Back"!!

Best one yet for me
The Royal Decameron Montego Beach was very nice, rite on the beach with the view of Montego Bay with our ocean view room 421 which was first time we had a ocean view room.The room was big,easy to get around,clean and bathroom also except for regulating the hot water to cold water, but after being on the beach all day,who needs hot water just to clean up for supper.The elevator was great for us because I have canes and my wife wears a knee brace sometimes to get around.The food was great,lots to eat and the omelets were very good, hats off to Captain Kurt which I think he went by and Daniel and girl I can not remember her name waiting the tables buy the railings next to the beach bar. I had one problem with the fish soup which had a pepper in it which I bit into and my water glass stayed at my mouth for about ten minutes and the chef came down and showed me what it looked like and was sorry for my situation but the soup was great, ate it all.The beach was small but you only want to get wet plus swim around a little bit and then their was Christaphur, the life guard who was entertaining in so many ways, it was hard to keep up with him, but he did get Captain Poly to pick us up at our dock for a tour in the glass bottom boat Miss Poly which my last name is Polley We went with 3 other couples so some shopping on the strip was done and a drink at MargaritaVille which was busy.Only one complain would be their should be a fridge in your room at no cost only for what you buy and put in it,wine, beer and water which is free and for that reason when we go back their with my canes, I will try to book room 101 to 106, close to everything that I went for on our vacation.Over all, if you want a small getaway, this is the best one yet for me and my wife, highly recommended.

Wonderful Place to Stay!
The hotel was beautiful! The food was delicious and the beach was gorgeous! Paddle board and kayak rentals were free all day and they had a lot of equipment. There is a sunset/night time paddle board tour you can do for an extra cost and it is totally worth it. They have special lights on the stand-up paddle boards so you can see into the ocean below you. We followed some stingrays and a school of fish and it was magical. Watching the sunset, while floating on a paddle board in the middle of the ocean was a real highlight too! The staff are super friendly and helpful. You can expect to share a lot of laughs with them. We met so many people who had returned to this same resort several times. One group had stayed here 39 times! That says something. This was my first trip to Jamaica and it set the bar high. I would 100% return to this resort.

Disappointed
While we had wonderful weather and did enjoy our time away from work and the cold weather, there was somethings that we did find disappointing. There are two pools on the resort. They are extremely small and only 4 feet deep all around. There was also not enough lounges around either of the pools so if you didn't get out and put your towels out you weren't in luck at all. There is also hardly any beach access so that really wasn't an alternative. There was a swim up bar at one of the pools and because of the small size when it got to be about 3 in the afternoon the pool was extremely scummy. YUCK My travel agent had requested that we be no higher than the 2nd floor as I have to have Achilles heel surgery and find stairs a real problem. We were put on the 4th floor which is the highest one. When we asked to be changed they would accommodate our request at all. Also I have never been to a resort that didn't have a fridge in the room. Ours didn't. I need a fridge as I am an insulin dependant diabetic. They said they would put a fridge in our room for a price of $5.00 US per night!!!! Just was disappointed in the whole thing.

Awesome Hotel and Location on the Strip, downtown and nightlife clubs
I would definitely come back to this resort! I went with my friend (we are both young women) and felt so safe. We walked along the strip and to the downtown area. We had a beautiful room with an ocean view balcony. The beach and ocean was amazing to swim in. We saw hundreds of butterflies flying above us on the beach one day which was breathtaking. We had a gorgeous view of the sunset! It's on the strip and walking distance to downtown. Fun clubs were Pier 1 and Margarita Ville. Great food and staff. I highly recommend this place.

Nice Resort but...
We stayed at the Royal Decameron Montego Bay between October 13th to the 20th. We enjoyed our time there and here are our views on our stay. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. The grounds are beautiful but needs to be more cleaned around the bushes. As for the ckeansiness of the inside like bars and dining room and bathrooms super clean and maintained. The only problem we had is the food. In all the week we were there the food was not good except maybe breakfast because omelettes are easy and they add what you want in it. The other meals are bland with no taste and not enough choices. As for the staff they are the best. We have been to 2 other resorts in Jamaica through years mostly Montego Bay and the staffs at Royal Decameron are tge best we have encountered. The other downer of the Resort is that they have no laundry facilities for guests. When we travel we like to come home with our clothes clean.

Decameron was great
Facility and grounds were well kept and clean. Rooms were spotless, staff were friendly and accommodating. Beach at the North end of the property was safe, clean, no probs getting a lounger. Pools were well kept and clean. Wifi is available only in the lobby, $5 per hour or $25 for the week. Everything is priced in US $s so take them. Trips can add up for that reason, Shopping is good outside the property, but get ready to be hassled big time. Everyone wants to sell you weed. So if you go out strongly recommend you take a cab or tour especially if you go into Montego Bay, your bracelet will make you a target. Forgot, we found the food to be very good, no problems, you can get burgers etc near the beach. Drinks were excellent, very generous. Security at this location was very tight and reassuring. Go you will enjoy it

Stayed at the RD from march19 to 26 first time staying there and I was so impressed with almost everything that i will certainly be returning next year. From check in to check out the staff was excellent,friendly and efficient. My wife and I loved the beaches the best part was the unlimited availability of shaded areas to sit in. The rooms are very spacious and clean and the housekeeping staff does an excellent job.

Great Trip to Royal Decameron!
Loved this hotel! Loved that it was SO close to the airport and we could leave the hotel and walk the strip and in town... felt safe the whole time. Food (NO LINE UPS) and staff wonderful! Grounds and rooms are clean, our bed was super comfy! This is a small and plain hotel but we loved that it was so laid back and it was nice not having to walk a mile to get something from the room. 2 pools that were quite small, easy to find a lounge chair on the beach or at the pool. Majority of rooms have an ocean view. There is SO much staff, you can't turn your head without seeing someone from the resort and they work very hard. It was dumb to have to pay for a safe and they are a bit stingy with the amenities but they are trying to be an eco friendly hotel which I support and appreciate. Water pressure in the hotel wasn't great at times but we've come to expect this in the Caribbean. Wifi was pretty good. We plan on going back in a few months we liked it so much!

Average but could be great.
We chose this location because it was central to what we wanted to see and do, plus it was a very short commute to and from the airport. After all who wants to waste precious holiday time on a boring commute. The hotel and the facilities were well kept and all of the services were as advertised. The reviews that I had read were for the most part accurate. There were some staff that were exceptional, but there were some that were a little more than professional. The hotel is in a transitional phase and there is an expansion project underway to add more rooms. The sound of construction going on during the day did take away some of the ambiance of being on the beach but the noise was tolerable. What keeps this resort from being at it's best can be illustrated by how the resort manager acted during our visit. While the staff were busy and attentive to the guests needs, the manager had absolutely no interaction with the guests. Instead he would ignore everyone around him and cut in line for food and beverage service. If you are going to improve service interacting with the guests even at a superficial level should be part of your job. This attitude has a trickle down effect in that the staff would think that they can do the same. When some staff were questioned about services they would act like it was an annoyance to answer or interact. While I do understand that as an employee you have been asked the same question a thousand times, as an guest, it's all new to me. As an example when requesting a towel at the beach on our first day all we got was an eye roll and the girl holding up a piece of paper and a card. No verbal interaction, just the eye roll. I had to ask her what she was showing me and then what I had to do. All of this because she was fed up with the tourists not being informed properly. Also some of the male staff use the hotel as a personal hunting ground for picking up women. If the resort wishes to expand and move up the star rankings, there should be more attention paid to managing the staff and discouraging this behavior. I would recommend this hotel if the price is a good deal but as a resort experience it is average at best.

Awesome Experience!
The resort was great and the staff were so friendly and helpful; we wanted for nothing. If we wanted to just relax we were able or if we wanted to participate in the daily activities the Entertainment Crew were always patient, helpful and encouraging. The location of the resort is right on the hip strip for anything your looking for.

Everything you could want in a Carribean resort.
This resort is rated as a three star however almost everything about it was a five star. Clean, courteous staff, excellent facilities, gorgeous beaches. The only piece that was not five star was the food. It was repetitive and many items were in short supply.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Nice clean dated resort
Overall we had a great stay. Good food and drinks with pleasant staff. Not a new resort by any means but clean. The beach access is very small but the resort wasn't busy so it wasn't a problem for us.

Relaxing Vacation at RD- Montego Bay
This is an older resort and suited for all types of vacationers. Grounds and resort are kept clean. Really liked that its a smaller resort and staff were extremely friendly. Food was exceptional. The beach area is very clean, never over-crowded & ocean was amazing. Was entertained by aircraft passing by the resort to the airport. The rooms are very outdated but clean. Only complaint was that bottled water was scarse. Nightly entertainment was good most nights.

Amazing View!
This resort is perfect for anyone that is looking for a simple vacation at a small property. The hotel only has 144 rooms, one buffet restaurant, one a'la carte restaurant and a beachfront grill. There was eleven in our party and we all enjoyed the food. For a small resort they offered a great variety of food. The pools were small but both were very clean and there were always loungers available. The beach was small compared to other resorts but there were always loungers available, the water was beautifully clear and warm. There are three bars and depending on what you liked to drink you will soon pick your favorite. The rooms are in need of an upgrade. Our room was large, clean, the king size bed was comfortable and there were lots of pillows. The bedding was changed daily and we were always provided with plenty of towels and face cloths. The bathroom fixtures need to be upgraded and the lighting was horrible. The resort only supplies a hair dryer, bar soap, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom, very basic. They do have issues with the water pressure and temperature control but fortunately we didn't experience any problems in our room. The room has a flat screen tv, iron, ironing board and a safe but they don't have a clock or a refrigerator. We were provided with a fridge that we rented for the week. The staff were great and we felt very welcomed from the time we arrived. A lot of the staff took the time to familiarize themselves with our group even to the point that if we arrived at the buffet separately they immediately pointed out what table the rest of the party was sitting at. A definite perk of a small resort and an attentive staff. The airport is 10 minutes away so the commute was very easy and the oceanfront location provided some gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Overall we enjoyed this resort!

Wonderful small resort!
we were on the 3rd floor, overlooking pool and beach area. everything is close. the perfect resort for relaxing by the beach or pool. Montego Bay Hip Strip just a few minute walk away. Would definitely recommend this resort to anyone who prefers smaller resorts. bonus: very few children when we were there.

OK Resort
Overbooked, When we got there at 3 pm we didn't get a room till 7 pm. We booked 9 wks in advance, there were many couples who booked 3 days in advance and received their rooms and were settled in right away on their holiday. The room we finally got , 101 was right beside the dining hall. Very noisy nights (the entertainment and bars). Waken before 7 am with the dishes and dining room being prepared. The room was a temporary one till people left and we could get a new room. The shower handle wouldn't stay on, shower curtain approx. 1 ft. off floor so water all over, no hangers, no towels. The door lock didn't work , we were going to show the manager the shower problems and couldn't get into room. Manager couldn't open lock either. So we went walking and manager fixed up the problems. Grounds were nice, public area nice, facilities were ok. Food in buffet dining was good. Food at a la Carte was very limited menu. Ate there a couple of times and all menu items were not always available. The remaining 4 out of 12 days in the 2nd room , we didn't receive towels and had to call for some. Entertainment, Not enough variety. Mostly young dancing and singing on stage and floor. Very repetitious. Not taking into account the older demographics 50 to 75 and providing entertainment. Kayaks were available, the paddle boats they had we were told none of them worked all were broken. For the most part the employees were vey friendly and helpful. Some were excellent, some younger ones need either more training or just smile. This was our holiday, we are not grumpy people and tried to make the best of it. We had good and bad times.

great staff, variety of food for everyone, coffee fabulous. everything was clean. The entertainment was first class and lots of fun. The one minor issue was wifi... buy by the hour $5/hr or $20 per day... sometimes there were no one hour packages available. dropped quite frequently.

Got what I paid for
The staff were great everything else was just ok. The room was old n plain. The bathroom needs work tub and tiles had stains. On thursday when I went to shower the water stopped running was told this happens each week. The light went out numerous times. Food was not impressive for Jamaica. The beach was good. Entertainment was ok. Location was great close to activities/clubs/restaurants and walking distance to the centre of the town. I got a great deal so was able to live with the short comings however would be really upset had I paid regular price.

Great place to stay
This was a great small resort, beautiful ocean view and the beach just steps away. BUFFET: food was good, mostly chicken and pork, but daily variety so we never got tired of it. Ala carte: food was fine but nothing special so we only ate there once. Rooms: we're very comfortable and clean and spacious. Beach: there is a calm little beach just steps away from the bar and restaurant. The hotel just purchased the beach next door and moved all the beach activities and water sports there. They had a fun beach party which was packed with fun and good food , had a great time. We met many people who have been returning to this hotel for years and we can see why, it's very comfortable, they make you feel at home. We will definitely be back!

Pleasant Surprise
I had no idea what to expect when traveling to Jamaica as this was my first time to the country. Can I just say what a pleasant surprise this vacation was. The people in this country are absolutely hospitable and warm and the employees of the Decameron resort were no exception. The grounds and rooms were clean, the food was decent but the staff is what made this resort a 5 star, especially Elisha, Shanti, AJ, Lisa, DavRoy, Stacy-Ann, Mark and Cheddar. Had such an amazing time!
