8/10 Very good

My family enjoyed the food, the service, recreation and the beach. Even though the road to get to the hotel wasn’t the best, the transportation service was comfortable. At the hotel the internet access was really poor and the resort’s buildings required some maintenance. Overall it was a good experience.

6/10 Good

I have never experienced such a bad service in an all inclusive resort. We have 3 people in a room, but they only gave us 2 towels. We called the front desk 4 times for an extra towel. Each time they would tell us someone would bring it, but no one ever shows up. The front and restaurant staff are definitely not trained. Aside from that, the app that they make us use to book restaurant reservation is a joke. It doesn't work half the time. The app kept showing no availability for the seafood restaurant. It turns out that you need to be by the front desk at 7:30am to make reservation for it. No one ever told us until we found out from one of the waiters the day prior to departure. We booked a reservation at the Italian restaurant, but when we got to the restaurant they didn't have our name. We tried logging into the app which did not work. The front desk couldn't help us either. It was very stressful having to deal with their staff. Needless to say, we will not go back to this hotel or any other Decameron locations.

Mediocre food, mediocre bars. Pools stay open til 8pm but bars around the pools close 2 hours before pool closes. No champagne and cheap liquor served.

Beautiful resort. The road to get to it is a long dirt road and uncomfortable to navigate. Food options could be better. Resort itself is beautiful.

I loved the Beach and the many fishes swimming there! I didn't like the food, drinking, and service.

8/10 Very good

Great service. Staff very helpful, friendly and professional. Food is awesome, delicious. Entertainment options are great. Beaches are fantastic. Only issues is the humidity in some areas of the building, access to apartments have no ramps for people with walking problems, and staff should stop people in the restaurant to feed the native mapaches. Overall, we enjoyed the stay.

We liked it very much. For those who don’t speak Spanish May be challenging. Staff was cordial and friendly. Chairs was a little bit of an issue in the beach. Food was good.
