I spent a week with my boyfriend in the hotel Decameron at Juan Dolio from February 16th to Feb 24th 2008. This is a honest point of view: I don't know if the people before were too demanding or if they weren't lucky. It's a 3 * hotel, and I was very surprised because the food was EXCELLENT, the pool...

Ladies and Gentleman. I went to this place from feb-23-07 till feb25-07. Lucky me that it was only for that weekend. I will begin with the Staff... They are great and they are doing the best they can do with the little it has been handed to them, I do not blame them a bit for the conditions of this... More

No hot water for 10 days. Got there to no electricity for 4 hours. Food was tasteless and always a mystery. Did I say NO HOT WATER FOR 10 DAYS! Pool was nice and was right across the street from the beach. We had a phone, but no cord to the wall. Some room had no phone, and some had... More

Three 20 something girls at the Ocean Arc Decameron. What a place! We booked the trip and THEN read the Travel Advisor reviews - too little to late. It was a last minute special, and we didn't expect much but a clean place, decent food and booze of course. Well, our first night there we were rather depressed. Everyone that... More

Back on August 16, 2005 I purchased a package reservation for my family of 5. We would be staying at Decameron from the 17th of December until the 2nd of January, X-mas and New Years, we arrived by taxi and found the hotel had been closed, according to a grounds attendant since June for renovations. They would be opening now... More

This place definitely does have mildew issues. We were initially put in a bottom floor room after waiting for about 15 minutes for them to find a room. It smelled of mildew. We requested to be moved which they did pretty quickly to a top floor room which was much better, but you could see that mildew was painted over... More

I travelled to the Ocean Arc Decameron with three other girls (all of us mid 20s). We have all travelled extensively before and have stayed in resorts ranging from 3* to 5*. We booked last minute and were looking forward to a one week beach and booze getaway. After an easy flight and bus ride to the resort, we arrived... More

Here's the thing about this hotel - if you expect American luxury, you'll be disappointed, but quite frankly, you're travelling to a developing country so get over it. The Ocean Arc Decamerson was a GREAT time, and my friends and I plan on going back for sure. A great price for all-inclusive food and drinks, a beautiful pool, and great... More

This hotel was disgusting!!! I learned my lesson this time. Next time, I'll spend a coulpe of hundred more to go to a better hotel. When we arrived we had to stay in a room that had a lot of mold on the curtains, ceillings and walls. The whole room smelled like mildew. The food was the worst possible. We... More
