Description

The Royal Decameron Complex is situated on a beautiful beach in Banderas Bay, long enough for leisurely walks. This mid-sized resort is located in the small village of Bucerias, approximately 28 km from downtown Puerto Vallarta and 18 km from Puerto Vallarta Airport. You'll find peace and quiet in this very safe area. Golf enthusiasts will be delighted, as there's a course nearby. Children can enjoy a playground and a mini-disco. Finally, the lush vegetation and stunning sunsets over the Pacific Ocean are sure to charm you. It offers excellent value for money.

Résumé des avis

Guests appreciate the quality and variety of the food, especially in the à la carte restaurants, as well as the friendliness of the staff. The property is considered very clean and well-maintained. The beautiful beach, ideal for walking, the numerous swimming pools, including some for adults, and the good service at the bars are also highlighted. Some reviews mention rooms that are occasionally dated or lack comfort. Occasionally, it is noted that the buffets can be repetitive and the food lukewarm. Furthermore, the sea is sometimes described as rough or with vendors on the beach.

Two weeks of beautiful weather!
Deux semaines de beau temps !

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Two perfect weeks: wall-to-wall sunshine. The staff are very friendly, and the service and cleanliness are impeccable. A few points for improvement: the reservation system for the à la carte restaurants, the lack of entertainment (very little), it's a rather quiet place (a plus for those looking for that), and a shortage of chairs on the beach (you have to get up before 7 a.m. to get one, and they aren't comfortable at all). I'm a beach girl, and I appreciated the hotel's beach. No seaweed (0), the sand is soft in the water too, and you can walk for a long time on both sides. A must: the small sports bar just outside the hotel on the street opposite to watch the games ($) 😊 We enjoyed being able to walk around town and do some shopping...the little Italian restaurant (La Dolce Vita) in town...excellent!! I would definitely go back 😊

Nous avons apprécié notre séjour à cet hôtel. Deux semaines parfaites : soleil mur à mur. Les employés sont très sympathiques le service et la propreté est impeccable.
Quelques points à améliorer : la réservation des restaurants à la carte, l'animation ( très peu présente) c'est un endroit plutôt tranquille ( un plus pour ceux qui recherche cela), il manque de chaises à la plage( on doit se lever avant 7h pour en avoir et elles ne sont pas du tout confortables.
Je suis une fille de plage et j'ai apprécié celle de l'hôtel. Pas d'algue (0), le sable est doux dans l'eau aussi et nous pouvons marcher longuement des deux côtés.
Un must: le petit Sport Bar à la sortie de l'hôtel dans la rue en face pour aller regarder les matchs ($) 😊
Nous avons aimé pouvoir se promener en ville et pouvoir y faire des achats...le petit resto Italien( La dolce Vita) en ville...excellent!!
J'y retournerais sans hésiter 😊

The stay was very pleasant overall... but!
Le séjour a été très agréable en général ... mais!

1. The WORST drawback: The NOISE!! Blaring speakers near the pool AND the beach from 10:00 AM onwards, all day long, in the FLAMINGOS RESTAURANT-BUFFET AREA. It was therefore impossible for anyone needing peace and quiet to stay in that area during the day, sometimes even during mealtimes!! The rooms in block 3 were also the closest to the amphitheater, and EVERY NIGHT (except for one out of 14) it was impossible to sleep before 10:30 PM!! 2. Another drawback: ONLY ONE ELEVATOR (in block #3) when there are 6 residential blocks on the hotel grounds. Incomprehensible!! Especially for people with reduced mobility who are unable to climb 50 stairs to get to the 3rd floor, especially when there is no more room on the ground floor in the other 5 residential blocks.

1. Le PIRE désagrément: Le BRUIT !! Hauts-parleurs tonitruants près de la piscine ET de la plage dès 10:00 le matin et toute la journée, cela dans le SECTEUR DU RESTAURANT-BUFFET FLAMINGOS.
Impossible donc pour quiconque a besoin de paix et de tranquilité, de rester dans ce secteur durant la journée, parfois même aux heures de repas!!
Les chambres du bloc 3 étaient aussi les plus proches de l'amphithéâtre, et TOUS LES SOIRS (sauf un sur 14) il était impossible de dormir avant 22:30 !!

2. Un autre désagrément: 1 SEUL ÉLÉVATEUR (au bloc #3) alors qu'il y a 6 blocs d'habitations sur le terrain de cet hôtel. Incompréhensible!! Surtout pour les personnes à mobilité réduite qui n'ont pas la capacité de monter 50 escaliers pour se rendre au 3ième étage, surtout quand il ne reste plus de place au rez-de-chaussé dans les 5 autres blocs d'habitation.

Poor quality hotel
Hotel de pietre qualite

The hotel is aging and lacks sufficient investment to improve things. Weak points: the rooms. I had to change rooms due to constant noise, mold on the ceiling, humidity, and a weak shower. My room in the new section wasn't any better: no hot water and a very weak shower, poor ventilation, and a curtain that let in light. As for the evening entertainment near the reception bar: completely inept. A bad local band playing American rock or karaoke nights... Artisans sell their wares in the evening, but it's nowhere near the quality of local markets. I can't comment on the shows in the auditorium or the daytime entertainment because I wasn't at the hotel during the day and didn't attend the shows as I go to bed early. The beach is constantly unsuitable for swimming (strong waves). Unprofessional staff: I was given the wrong key for my new room, and at the buffet, I was served apple tea instead of apple juice! The clientele was 90% local and very noisy. The specialty restaurants were not great. Strengths: the buffet, varied and with good quantities of food. Cleanliness of the rooms and common areas. Proximity to the city, services, and the highway. I don't know how travelers could have given this hotel a good rating. I hated this place and I certainly won't be returning because the value for money (CA$2039 for 1 week) is really not there.

Hotel vieillissant sans investissement suffisant pour ameliorer les choses.
Points faibles: chambres. J'ai du changer de chambre en raison du bruit constant, de la moisissure au plafond, de l'humidite et du faible volume de l'eau dans la douche. Ma chambre dans la nouvelle section n'etait pas mieux : pas d'eau chaude et tres faible volume d'eau dans la douche, ventilation deficiente, rideau qui laisse passer la lumiere...

Pour ce qui est des spectacles en soiree pres du bar de la reception: tout a fait ineptes. Un mauvais orchestre local qui joue du rock americain ou des soirees karaoke...

Des artisans vendent leur production en soiree mais c'est tres loin de la qualite des marches locaux.
Les spectacles dans l'auditorium et l'animation le jour je ne peux evaluer car je n'etais pas a l'hotel le jour et n'ai pas assiste aux spectacles car je me couche tot.
Plage non baignable en permanence (vagues fortes).
Personnel peu professionnel: on m'a donne la mauvaise cle pour ma nouvelle chambre et au buffet on m'a servi une tisane de pomme au lieu d'un jus de pomme!
Clientele a 90 % locale tres bruyante.
Restaurants de specialites pas terribles.

Points forts: le buffet, varie et nourriture en bonne quantite.
Proprete des chambres et des espaces communs
Proximite de la ville, des services et de l'autoroute.

Je ne sais pas comment les voyageurs ont pu attribuer une bonne note a cet hotel.

Moi j'ai deteste cet endroit et c'est certain que je n'y retournerai pas car le rapport qualite prix (2039 $ CA pour 1 semaine) n'y est vraiment pas.

Honestly, very good
Franchement très bien

We loved our stay at the Grand Decameron. Although the rooms are a bit dated, everything is very clean. The resort is very well maintained, the staff is always friendly, and the food is very good. Its location within walking distance of the village of Bucerias allowed us to go out safely. It's also possible to get to Sayulita, San Pancho, and Puerto Vallarta by public transport for a few pesos. The bus stop is very close. We would definitely go back.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au Grand Decameron. Bien que les chambres soient un peu vieillottes, tout est très propre. Le complexe est très bien entretenu, le personnel est toujours sympathique et la nourriture est très bonne.

Sa localisation à une distance de marche du village de Bucerias nous a permis de sortir en toute sécurité. Possible aussi de se rendre à Sayulita, San Pancho et Puerto Vallarta en transports en commun pour quelques pesos. L'arrêt de bus est tout près.

Nous y retournerions sans hésitation
