    Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jun 20, 2008

    This hotel was the cheapest all inclusive that accepted kids under 16yo but it's not worth it. Room - I've stayed at this hotel twice and each time regardless of the time of day you check in your room is never avail you always have to wait. When we got to the room it was filled with mildew and mold. We had to get managers involved for it to get cleaned somewhat properly which took 4hrs. They ran out of linens and towels because the facility was booked to capacity. Summary - because of the cheap rates plenty poeple choose this hotel but the hotel is not equipped to handle the load. During our stay they ran out of beach towels, Coke, ice, and towels. Also, the disco/club was horrible they played 80's music and there was no dj or guests there. Only 4 hotel guests were there because there was no wait at the bar.

    This was a great all inclusive- nice beach, comfortable room, friendly service. The only complaint was the food which was mediocre. Nevertheless, for the price it was a good deal.

    We were a party of nine, seven adults and two children. when we arrived they did not have room for all of us except two adults and two children, they made arrangements for the rest of the party (5 adults) to stay at another hotel for the night and were told they would be back at Decameron by 12 noon the next day, which they were but their rooms were still not ready so they had to wait another couple of hours.
