Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos, Ramada All Inclusive Resort

We just returned from a delightful but short stay at the Decameron Los Cocos. We have stayed here many times in the past and have enjoyed each time. We stayed in the adults section, Cocos 4. Our room was the one of the most spacious I have ever seen. Daily service ensured that our room was always fresh. The food for an all-inclusive was plentiful, varied and very delicious. The grounds are beautiful and the staff are very friendly. Management is very efficient and you can tell they take great pride not only in the staff, but the hotel amenities as well. The barmen are second to none. I've been on cruises in the past and these gentlemen and ladies are more than equal to the 6 star status. Most of all, this place isn't stuffy. Everything is casual and relaxed and you feel like you have not a care in the world. The economic price makes this hotel a great fit for families with children. We saw many in Cocos 1,2,and 5. The Decameron is steps away from the village of Riñcon de Guayabitos and it is easy to explore from the comfort of the hotel. The Decameron Los Cocos is, in my opinion, the best all inclusive in Riñcon de Guayabitos. I can't wait to go back!

My mother and I have just returned from a 6 day stay at the Decameron. We were in Rincon for a funeral, so we didn’t have a lot of time to research and book. The Decameron package was inexpensive, so we booked. There are some pro’s and con’s with this property. Firstly, my review has nothing to do with the town at all, I had some of the best street food of my life there, but it’s quiet…..real quiet. We stayed in building 4 and it was loud. The building has a road on the front and back and it’s noisy all night long. I barely slept, with earplugs. Very little hot water, and really crappy wifi, no blow dryer. The AC worked well, but it’s on the wall and blows directly onto your head, which was really uncomfortable. The curtains are not black out, bring an eye mask. There isn’t an elevator in this building, so if you have mobility issues, I would not stay here. The pool in this area is great, very quiet with a bar close by. The alcohol is not the greatest here, no baileys, no bubbles, no canned beer. Beach chairs were literally impossible to get, there are very few and saving starts before 7am. Luckily we could go to the sister Marina resort and were able to get chairs most days (by 9am). The food - this one is tough. I have food allergies (dairy) and could barely eat here. The food on the buffet is not labelled and the staff are unaware of the ingredients. When I asked about a salad dressing (in Spanish) the staff member stuck her finger in the dressing and said “tastes like mayonnaise”. If you are vegan, you will have a very hard time here, if it wasn’t for street food, I would have survived on toast. The a la carte restaurants are rarely open and you have to use an app to book,no exceptions. At the marina, you have to come down to the desk at 9am. In 6 days only one restaurant was open. The staff were very nice, Jessie in customer service helped me with a flower arrangement, the bellman were very nice, as were all of the other staff we interacted with. The beach is amazing, I walked every morning at 6:30 am and felt very safe. We will probably not return to this resort as it’s really run down and the food was poor.

We knew we were in for something different when we were the only non Mexicans in the resort! This is not your typical all inclusive experience; there is no security gate to keep the locals out. We had a few challenges communicating with our very-limited Spanish, but I wouldn't have it any other way! The buildings are a bit worn, not all the rooms have WiFi, and we used metal keys to secure our room door for the first time in many years. The staff are excellent and enough of them understand a few words of English for us to get what we need. The food was only Ok, but there was free booze everywhere. Make certain to book tours into the surrounding area: We saw crocodiles and a jaguar. Very interesting to see the neighboring towns. Nice sheltered beach. You can't surf here, but it's great for swimming. Very family oriented.
