Very friendly staff, clean rooms and great atmosphere.
I love this hotel very friendly, clean , great food , beautiful, we had a problem with our transportation and the from desk was very helpful and she was available to find us transportation.
The road should be fixed, they are and reallly bad conditions but biside that, the resort is pretty good, nice service, excellent food, many entertainment
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.

Our main issue was that our room had bedbugs. They moved us after some insistence, but that was it. No apologies or follow up. The front desk staff doesn't seem to care ar all. We even had the "plus" upgrade which made no difference. The pools and beach are lovely. Restaurant staff so friendly and great. Food is very average. Lifeguards are on a massive power trip and make things pretty unpleasant as they are constantly blowing the whistle for one reason or another. They will not let you even put your feet in the ocean after 6 pm, which seems completely crazy. Lots of iguanas and racoons, racoons come into the restaurant which seems really gross and dirty.

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.
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.
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.
