Roots Rock Reggae

Great location, excellent staff, amazing food! The bedding are super confortable and rooms are big, clean and offer an oceanview. The enternainment team is just to die for, no way you can sit on your chair and not participate. Would return anytime to spend some vacation or even workationing. Excellent quality-value.

ROYAL Decameron Not Grand Decameron

Robin R on Oct 17, 2024

First of all, the hotel name is not Grand Decameron, but the Royal Decameron. I found this out when my driver was taking me to the hotel, or should I say motel. The Grand Decameron is the sister hotel next door and newer. Now for my stay, I did not know that there was no elevator. I quickly informed the front desk that I could not walk up a 4-floor of steps every day. I was lucky and got a 1st-floor room. I had requested a view of the ocean, but what I got was a side view of the pool. The room was huge, which was a good thing; the bathroom was large with a walk-in shower. The room included no iron, no ironing board, and no washcloth. I don't know how you're supposed to wash your face. When I asked for extra hand towels, I got nothing. Their beach is small with no chairs or umbrellas. What they do have are chairs, umbrellas, and a gazebo on their something of a pier. But if you want to swim, you need to go next door to the sister hotel to swim. Now for the food: if you want to lose weight, this is the place. The food is not well cooked and has no taste. I'm sorry; I tried eating every day but only took spoonfuls of food. We went to the snack shop and ordered hamburgers and fries. They will not let you fix your hamburger; they will do that for you. No, I'd rather fix my own hamburger; I don't take cucumbers on my hamburger. And talking about hamburgers, it was so burned and tasted freezer burned. And for the drinks, what can I say? Watered down. I only found one bartender who put enough alcohol to give me a buzz. Everything else was a disappointment. And if don't like cats. Be prepared for cats walking around and sitting right by your table waiting for food. Dont asks the server to have the cats remove because they won't. Dont waste your money find a better hotel with an elevator.

Fantastic

Scarlet9 on Oct 05, 2024

Had a fantastic holiday here at the Decameron hotel. Our first time to Jamaica and it was so nice First of all let's the negative point's out of the way..... The rooms are a little dated and could do with a bit of tlc however the super sized comfortable clean beds are amazing... The rooms are very spacious with working air con and a safe But is let down with a very poor shower over bath with water pressure that varies and a lack of hot water. The view's are outstanding but a lack of clothes line made it difficult to dry swimwear.. There's a fridge and ironing facilities but no kettle We slept well every evening. Cleaning is done daily if you need it but we didn't and bottled is supplied too. The grounds are immaculate and the maintenance staff go about their work with happiness singing whenever you pass them always taking the time to say hello etc The staff are a bit hit and miss....some are very happy and helpful some are not the bar man in the lobby bar in the evening I think his name is Dags young lad who wears cap is lovely couldn't do enough for you really knows how to run a bar ... The food is plenty full and delicious. Morning breakfast was a freshly made omelette by a tall lady with glasses she was so friendly. We didn't have lunch but evening food was always varied and we are vegetarians we didn't go hungry. the rice and steamed veg is delicious as was the fresh pasta and potatoe choice ..bread is soft and fresh too and the cakes were delicious. Evening entertainment was very good with a variety of acts each night and the staff worked tirelessly to put on a show special mention to CRackerz ...MJ...and Energy and Wings these really stood out day and night full of energy and kindness The whole resort is lovely with a stunning beach and pool areas The drinks flow and music plays all day and night it's just a wonderful place to holiday. There is also a small shop on site that sells basic items that is very handy and well priced The Cornwall side we visited everyday to the Irie bar and this was amazing. We loved it here the barmen Andre and the new young starter Jay were the best ever. Andre the Arsenal fan was so much fun throughout the week and he definitely knew how to please the guests with his charm..he is an asset to the hotel and nothing was too much trouble for him. Everyone worked hard in the resort and the cleanliness was evident throughout. We had a truly magical time in Montego Bay and the Decameron hotel is a fantastic place to holiday. We would highly recommend this hotel and if possible will return next year..... Thanks for an amazing holiday ??

JUST A GREAT PLACE

justll (Long Island City, New York) on Sep 19, 2024

I returned to this hotel in September 2024. checking in was a breeze, thanks to Andre and Charmaine. These two people were just great. The staff at this resort from the grounds workers to the entertainment staff are TOP NOTCH . The rooms are very clean, the food was just fine, the Rum needs upgrading but besides that a great resort. I already booked for December. ALL the staff make this a 5 STAR resort.
