  Nice Place

  For a 3* place I can honestly say that it was excellent except one thing "The Food" the food was absolutely dreadful. The first week it was ok but the second week when the hotel filled, there was little food to be had, we eat out most of the second week. The saving grace was breakfast at the a la carte. speaking of the a la carte we eat there once and left our food it was inedible. That's all the bad stuff, the bungalows are of a good standard the shower was amazing, and the cleanliness was exceptional, and nearly everyone I spoke to agreed. The staff are polite and helpful, most of the bar staff were extremely good some hid away and did half the work the others did. Sadly I had written two names down to mention but I lost the bit of paper. Hats off to the gardeners who worked relentlessly to keep the gardens nice, also the beach boys who cleaned the beaches daily, well done lads. reception was OK but could have been a little more cheery and helpful, maybe the one's I spoke to had had a rough morning. The evening entertainment was OK some nights were better than others, the Steel Band was Phenomenal. We were there for Bob Marley's Birthday and the guy who they had was dreadful I know that sounds harsh but I didn't see anyone enjoying it.

  A Memorable Holiday, Thank-you.

  My wife and I had a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations. The staff were exceptionally attentive, courteous and polite. The food was exemplary at every meal. Now for some constructive advise. Please include fresh fruit juices (not from concentrates) at the bars and restaurants, repair faulty bathroom faucets and ensure that your in suite phones work properly. Our very first visit to this resort was in March 1982 and we returned 43 years to the day, later. We stayed in a garden view cottage both then and now and are happy to report that our March 2025 experience was an improvement over our 1982 experience. We shall return sooner next time !

  Will visit again

  Overall a wonderful place to destress and relax. Staff were friendly and helpful. 5 ⭐️ especially to Judy in the dining room who organized a plate of food to go to the room the day my husband wasn’t well. Loungers on beach and by the pools could do with an overhaul. They’re looking old and tired. Too many stray cats.

  I loved it - stole my heart!

  I stayed at the Decameron in Runaway Bay 22nd Feb - 8th March 2025. For me this place is perfect. I like a basic, does what it says on the tin hotel! I had already managed my expectations. The little cottage was amazing. There were three of us and we had an upstairs. We stayed in 45, which I think may be the best location. On one side you can step on to the beach and jetty bar (under construction) and the other is the quiet bar. Cleaner was lovely, did find on the days she was off we were missed or didn't get enough towels. We did have to call reception a few times to have them replenished. But I have no gripes with that. I loved the food, but I eat a lot of carribean food at home. Yes at times there wasn't a lot left, but I often ate quite late! I liked filling myself up on a big breakfast :D! The staff in the dining room were attentive. Yes you might wait for cutlery to be provided at times, but again I'm quite laid back so it wasn't an issue for me! The entertainment wasn't amazing every night, but you don't need it to be if you mingle with others. I will say I thought the majority of the entertainment was really good though, especially the MJ tribute and the drum steel band? The entertainment in the day was funny aswell. In the mornings my mum and aunt loved aqua fit with Jimmy! The aqua sports are also ace! I think its brilliant that it is built into an all inclusive - never had that before. I enjoyed falling off the paddle board haha. We completed some excursions with Paco, he is just outside the hotel and really fairly priced. We felt this topped off our holiday as we felt safe to explore local spots. I would recommend him - certainly! I think the location of this hotel is spot on, especially with local amenities such as pharmacy which I needed. I hear people's mixed reviews, but for me this is 100% a place I will return to. It ticked all boxes required! I appreciate I'm quite easy going and not difficult to please though! The grounds are also breath taking. I was in love!
