We had been there twice before and always liked it. It had gotten much bigger though. The complex is very colorful and lovely set up. The staff was great and helpful.

AEter, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

this is the honest truth about the Royal Decameron. Get to know the staff as they will make your stay a whole lot better. This was my first time leaving Canada to a different country by airplane and what an amazing time it was! I didnt expect much when I got there as the outdated and very colourful resort had thrown me off. Little did i know that everyone of the staff will treat you with the upmost respect. the service was honestly just top notch! if you go to the buffet beside block 4, look for Alejandro and tell him Alexio and Patricio sent you ;). he is honestly the best waiter(and ive had almost everyone). the FOOD i wasnt expecting to be good but it was very decent! ignore all these people saying this place wasnt worth it because i will tell you the truth about what needs to change and be avoided. -A La Carte *Piccolo --> by far the best place to eat(italian BTW) Best service of all and is indoor with AC on those hot Mexican days *Mexicano --> STAY AWAY!!! they only have two waitors and the food is absolutely intolerable! *Jap Jap and Wok --> they are two A La Carte restaurants attached to one another with the same chef that overcooks the food. Beware *Rodizio --> (Brazilian Concept) great food with great staff and amazing brazilian concept of serving food on skewers right on to your plate Buffets --> if you are eating at a buffet, they both have amazing selection with a catch... Flamingos has very salty food and Block 4 Buffet has way too many people. go to block 3 Buffet Breakfast and lunch (ask for Alejandro the waiter for best service) and dinner to flamingos. Room was very decent and in reviews people over exaggerate saying they are crap. they have amazing AC, Lock Safe and a TV. it is very Motel like with no mini fridge. Cleaners walk into your room even if you are in it and they all go in to clean even if you dont put up the sign which i found out to be pretty annoying. Go to the Tiki hut bar beside Flamingos restaurant facing the beach for the best drinks on the resort! go watch all the shows with Looky Looky and Danny as hosts with great staff! very entertaining and very funny shows. this resort is full of Canadians that just want to have a good time. it is very very safe at this resort i didnt lose a thing and nothing got stolen even when i left and forgot half my stuff like my phone at the restaurant. I WILL GO BACK FOR SURE! that is the truth about this resort. there is so much to do there that you will never get bored! Viva El Mexico.

2nd time for cheap relaxation

Miranda P, Vancouver

Sun Jun 09 02:56:04 EDT 2013

We JUST got off the plane after our week long vacation at the RDC. It was our second trip (went the same time last year). Here's a our Pro's list and a few tips: Pros: 1)Cheap. For what you're getting (clean all-inclusive with a nice beach and within walking distance to a town) the price is awesome. If you need a quick Mexican getaway for a cheap price, this is it. 2)Lots of choices in food. I kept saying "can you believe that people say they can't find anything to eat here?!". There is always something. One morning all we had was fresh fruit and toast. Another we had some hashbrowns, bacon and eggs. For lunch we often had pasta (because we happened to be a bit "over zealous" the night before with the tequilas and needed simple food) or we made a nice salad with cucumbers and tomatoes (with a slice of pizza!). We loved the Brazilian a la carte. It was all meat and completely delicious. Tips: 1) The vacation can be repetitive and you have to be the master of your own holiday. If you want some excitement then go and find it. There are lots of people offering to take you on excursions (Nolitours' rep was awesome). If you want to sit and read by the pool all day, you can do just that. It's as low key or as adventurous as YOU want to make it. 2) We were in Block #4. Same as last year. Awesome proximity to food and beach. But they seem to have opened a new resort next door to the block (I vaguely remember it being under construction last year). Every second night they had loud entertainment for a couple hours. It was fine, manageable, but a bit annoying. meh. Maybe try block #5 or #6 instead? 3)The drinks get pretty sweet and taste like syrupy mixes. Find something you like and stick with it (We drank mostly tequila, soda, with a splash of orange juice or mango juice and light bear) and be careful of quantity. It sneaks up on you with that heat... 4)Bring LOTS of sunscreen because it was expensive. $15 for a bottle even at WALMART! And P.S. Walmart is a lot more expensive than it was last year. A bottle of California red wine was the same price at the Walmart as it was in Vancouver. Weird. Not many deals... 5) Massages. Go to the huts along the beach (towards Bucerias). $20 for an hour. Awesome. 6) The flea market is fun and neat to see the stuff. BUT they try and lure you with the ol' "Hey you're from the Royal Decameron! I served you yesterday at the beach bar!". Don't fall for it. Have fun!! It's worth NOT spending a fortune for sun and fun:) you can go back twice for the price!
