Stayed at this resort from May 12th thru the 19th, 2012, just wanted to enjoy what we have been used to in an all inclusive resort and this property did not give us that. The grounds were fine, the food was very bland and not much of a variety, to much Jamaican food and not enought American style food. The... More

I will begin with the positive, the view. The view from the balconies is amazing!! Other than that, this hotel has very few positives. We traveled as a large party going to Montego Bay for a funeral and this is one of the only hotels that had availability so we chose it. We didn't go there having high expectations, thankfully,...

This was our second visit. Although the decor is a little tired there is work going on to improve matters. The plus points: great location with a great frontage, even the frequent planes don't really make an impact, restaurant staff are brilliant, food is good for an all inclusive, plenty of choice although a bit repetitive after the 1st week,...

I met them there a couple of years ago and we have been meeting ever since. Alain the new general manager is great. We got... More

We arrived at Royal Decameron May 13th and found the place very well kept, the room was very impressive and the view was to die for. The food could not have been any better and all the staff were excellent. We just found that the property was a little small but to our surprise the hotel extended an offer for... More

Dear TorontoTwins, Thanks for the good review. I have a great team behind me, that reflect always positively the spirit and friendliness of Jamaican and the meaning of the word "HOSPITALITY" starts with them. Thank you Alain Richard More

We traded one of our REE for this resort and what I big disappointment. I had mixed feelings after reading the reviews, but decided to make my own opinion. The resort has beautiful grounds with the Jamaican village feel and the wood carvings are exceptional. The rooms are run down and had issues with hot water and venting in the... More

Dear Channell, I am terribly sorry we haven't met your expectations. As you probably know our goal is to make all of our valuable guests are satisfied. However I remember you and your sea urchin incident which I took care of and your insistance to go back snorkeling as the beach is full of corals and marine life. I had... More

The Decameron was average overall, until we tried to check out. Then things got bad. Upon checkout, they charged us fifty dollars extra for a 'lost key' because they had a small receipt showing that we had signed for an extra key. The issue was that this had never happened, and i believe they forged my signature on the document.... More

We had a great time. Really liked the RDMB. It was exactly what I expected. Would give the grounds and view five stars. The food a solid four stars. Was surprised how good the food was. Overall I would give the staff and service four stars. Most were quite good. The resort also had a real Jamaican feel to it,... More

Just got back to Maine from an excellent vacation. After reading some reviews I was not expecting much but was very surprised. The place is very clean and great staff. Walk out the front and shopping is right there. All places sell the same stuff so go to a place called banana shop or something like that. Its across the... More
