Would not go Back to this faciity
NO MIMOSAS, could not believe it. Thank goodness there was a grocery store near. No alcohol in room (all inclusive, have never seen that) We had to get up at 3 in the morning to put a towel on a chair. No food available for except in restaurants and they close. Other resorts have little lunch places you can go to throughout the day. No music, no pool entertainment. The pool was FREEZING. Other facilities at least heat the pools a bit. No service for chairs (no service for drinks) Would not go back. There was no service at our chairs. We only ate at the restaurants twice as we couldn't get in. You had to go on the app at 8 am to get reservations. We ate in the community the other times. The drinks were very low quality and had to go and buy my own lemons and limes at the grocery store. Jap Jap was excellent. The facility is very dated. We love the area, but would not go back to this facility.

A grand stay despite the chairpocolypse
We just got back from this resort after a 8 day stay. We enjoyed ourselves as a family. Here is what we noticed. The facility although older is very clean and looked after . The whole staff in general are very friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work there. This isn't a 5 star resort so the food and drinks are adequate. No one starved, and we alway found something. The best restaurant we found that suited our family was the Wok Wok. The cooking at the reservation resteraunts is noticeably better than the buffet. All tastes vary from person person. Just try a little of everything and you will find what you like, and no shame in supplemental after dinner buffet trip . Drinks were good, I always tip ,so that might help. As was mentioned drinks need to be ordered off of menu,even if they had the ingredients to make another at your request. I would recommend the resort revisit that policy. The resort is quite large, lots of pools , but no swim up bars. The chairs on the beach side of the resort are significantly more comfortable than the hard plastic chairs across the street. Which brings to the chair issue. So because half the resort has uncomfortable chairs combined with the general age demographic of fellow vacationers at the resort this becomes a major issue. They do have a policy that chairs left unattended for over an hour items would be removed, as is quite common with most resorts... But this is not enforced. Look it ,I prefer to follow rules, and I love my old people, I plan on being one one day, and I met so many nice individuals and couples , and you contributed to the wondeful stay for my family. ...but if you wait to reserve a seat ...you wont have a chair that you want..The first day I tried getting chairs at 8...I was too late. I then tried 6am...again late....then 5:30....most chairs taken and all beach chairs gone. So I got up earlier...just to see how it works. Chairs begin to get reserved between 4-4:30 am. This again is because of the uncomfortable plastic chairs, and because most of the visitors are already up by then. I reccomend the resort finish upgrading recliners, and try and enforce the chair saving. However I do see how this could be difficult as I could see the older ones taking exception to the change . Start with the recliners. There is enough activities to keep you busy and entertained. They have shows, they have games. Ceramic painting was a very clever idea and well supported. They did have a fooseball table and Pool table in disco tech. I recommend they put another in a common area in resort to play durring day time hours. Again , we enjoyed ourselves , weather was fantastic, got a nice tan and a break from the winter. I would go again if I find a similar deal to what brought me there in the first place.

Nice place and beach, but some things are really annoying.
Nice place and beach, but some things are really annoying. 1. Booking the dinner in the restaurants is nothing more than a pain. Web page booking never works and bookings at the front desk is hit and miss. 2. Not enough of beach chairs what causes people to wake up at 4 AM and reserve the chairs which they do not even use after. 3. Wifi tends to disconnect every several minutes and requires to reenter credentials every time you try to reconnect 4. Currency exchange does not have clear business hours and never ever had smaller Mexican bills or coins.

Great time at Grand Decameron Complex in Bucerias
We have enjoyed ourselves at the Grand Decameron over the last 12 years, and for the last 4 years have stayed Dec & Jan. (7 weeks). The food has improved and so has the presentation on the salad bar. Noticed more salad bar and hot food section options this year. The staff are excellent, always working, friendly and have a sense of humor. They have kept the grounds immaculate, and especially like having to not use a key for your room & safety deposit box.

Great Week in Bucerias
Pleasantly surprised with this resort considering the mix of reviews that I read prior to booking. If you are expecting 5 Star then this is not for you. It’s a bit dated but that adds to the charm. Great selection of food options with several buffets and 5 restaurants. Mexican was our favourite, then the Brazilian. Shout out to Blair Martinez. He’s speedy Gonzalez on service and very attentive. Lots of bars everywhere and a great atmosphere in the sports bar/ lobby bar. Best on tap beer I’ve ever had at an all inclusive. Always cold and never flat. Bottled beer at the bar by the pool in Bldg 6. Room was adequate. Ask for a topper for the bed, it helps. We were on the 2nd floor in Building 5. No view but watched the Iguanas in the trees when we were in the room which was very little. Never heard the disco. Bldg 5 is quiet. Beach is amazing. Palapas are a challenge to get so get up early and go down and get one. It is what it is. No waiter service around the pool or the beach which we quite liked. Makes you get off your butt and get your own. It sure cuts down on the drunks lol. The bar staff are great. Very fast and courteous and make decent drinks. Ask for top shelf and they will comply. 20 minute walk into town. Lots to see and shop. We were on a mission to find and purchase a large outdoor light up metal sun. Stop in and see Berto on the left just before the kissing bridge. Very nice guy with all the stuff you don’t need and has beautiful metal art. This was our 1st visit to Royal Decameron Bucerias and was recommended by a friend who has stayed here many times. The staff at all areas of the resort are very friendly and helpful. We will be back. Adios Amigos.
