The beach was nice. The bathroom was old an unsafe. Also in the dining area there 3 big cats running around loose as they pleased. That was disgusting for me. I did not know they would let cats run aorund looking for food in the dining area. This was very unconfortable for me.

It's always a pleasure to stay at Royal DeCameron. Security, a variety of dining options, family friendly, etc. However, if you have a light sleep, it'd be a little hard since there's music until about 2 am (at the disco) and people start working very early. Thus, if they'd invest in room isolation, that would be great. Moreover, I don't recommend leaving your valuables without security. Use the safe or carry your lock if you don't want to have a bitter experience.

Great views everything else ok

For being an all-inclusive resort, many of the workers there seemed very dossatisfied with their jobs. Beautiful views everywhere you look. The food was decent, but nothing to brag about. If you have a fish allergy it's hard to find a good meal. I know it's in South America, but they should be able to accommodate for that. My Spanish is very poor and they didn't have many English speakers there. I believe they should at least speak a little English for being a world wide company.

You can only go into the lobby during check in tim

The check in was not as pleasant, we got dropped off at 2:30, I knew that check in was not until 3:00, our trip from the city took us over 2 hours, we were told that the taxi could not bring us in and we needed to wait until 3 under the hot sun,I asked if we could use the bathroom and wait in the lobby, we were told that there were too many people in the lobby, I had never heard of this, I was not asking for the key to the room just needed to be in a waiting area like decent paying customers not like someone who was not paying for the room, finally security gave the okay for me just to go in and use the bathroom, after speaking to someone in security we were able to wait in the lobby. I have visited resorts all over the world and never had this experience .

Nice place,but bad service and bad planning.

We stay 2 nights with the program all included, 4 pax. From the check-in the things was not going well, our reservation requirements wasn't took in care, they provide queen beds instead twin beds. At time to dinner 8:30 pm, the menu was not served, because the staff saids that was not enough and many dishes are not available, only chicken. Activities programmed with specific timing do not follow the schedule, in example the bar close half hour earlier and open one hour late, other activities as use of wind boats are only to experts, they do not allow learn our use without experience,.etc etc. in summary, the service is not good ,despite of the efforts of some staff that try to solve problems. From my point of view, the problem is in the administration area. The entertainment is good but in some instance the animator abuse with bulling to the participants. The hotel and facilities are good, but the service do not allow enjoy the place.
