Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos, Ramada All Inclusive Resort

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.

Happy and colorful place. Long sandy beach for walking, foot soaking. Very friendly staff. Perfect temperature, I love the sea breeze. Pleasing setting. I like the authentic Mexican accents and architecture and landscaping. Food is good and there is enough selection.

We were there from January 21/25 to February 4/25. This is the second time at this resort, the last time was in 2023. The food was better this year. Always fruit at breakfast only, pancakes, french toast, omelet station (FLORA, always singing), mexican dishes and this year BACON! There was always chicken or pork or beef or fish served, usually 2 of each. Yes, the building is older but it has a Mexican feel! My home also needs work! People that we met from the Corral wanted to be in the Los Cocos.! At the Marina, which is close to the Cocos has great loungers (softer) than the Cocos (hard)! THESE NEED TO BE CHANGED TO SOFT!! The Marina & Corral are more modern and concrete, We can stay in Canada for that! We've been to many places in Mexico, but this is the best! The water is usually calm (2 knee replacements), the sand is hard to walk on the beach with no rocks! You can see you feet in the water, no sea **** and not dirty! Many mexicans come on the weekend form Guadalajara, the beach is full! which is great it's their Country! Guayabitos is mostly full of Canadians and Mexican people! YA!! We booked our tours with Salvador, Vincent & Stephanie at the resort! GuayTours!. Always at the front desk lobby, Wonderful, Great!! We ate out many times with friends that stay there for the winter. Always great meals never were sick! We feel safe and love the Mexican people! At the resort english is spoken however, some servers and housekeeping may be limited, my spanish is not good either! If your coming to this resort and you want Canadian 4 *, don't book this! If you are an everyday person, YOU WANT THIS RESORT! and experience MEXICO! Entertainment was great! Much better than most resorts these days!
