Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada

Thehotel building is old but the staff are nice and friendly.The show is very entertaining. [Details]

We were not happy with our stay that this resort. The horrible is horrible We had to wat out every night. We had money stolen from our room. We had no hot water. The ac remote didn't work We told them to come look at it and change the battery they never showed up. The bar ran out of rum regularly so we ending up going to the store and buying our own. Most if the staff were not friendly we had a 2 people that were friendly . We refused getting put room clean after the 2 times they did out stuff was went through including my husband's suit case they opened it and found his wallet that thankfully had nothing in it but they left it flipped open in top of his clothes. It was left under his clothes. It was not a good feeling to come back into ur room have everything went through. I would not stay here again we did visit the decameron la marina 5 mins away and it was much better environment they were helpful and friendly. [Details]

Loved the feel of this resort , the atmosphere was very Mexican with the colours and artwork. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was great, the nightly entertainment was fantastic. [Details]

We enjoyed our return to Decameron Los Cocos in Rincon de Guayabitos, Nayarit after a 5 year absence. Although many things had changed (due to Covid), much was familiar and welcoming. We particularly enjoyed the new option of "Stay at 1, play at 3" that allowed us to use the facilities at all 3 Decameron locations in Guayabitos (Los Cocos, La Marina, Isla Coral), which gave us more options from activities and meals. [Details]

We have been to Los Cocos a few times before and enjoyed it .Covid prevented a return trip until this year. We appreciate the basic rooms, the adequate and sometimes good food but especially the large beach area and calm waters of the bay. We arrived after midnight so we didn't tour the resort as we usually do The nest morning we went for breakfast and were totally shocked to see that a majority of the beach was gone. The seating area now consists of a small section of crowded chairs in front of the Mexican restaurant . This was a major disappointment! This is not mentioned in the hotel or airline website. We made do. We also had problems with hot water availability which we didn't have on other trips The a la carte reservation system has changed and was not user friendly unless you booked at 1 am on your phone. We were only able to book 1 meal for the entire week. We made use of the sister resort during the day. on occasion but it was not ideal. [Details]

We had a wonderful time at Decameron Los Cocos. The hospitality was amazing, great food, awesome entertainment, perfect rooms simple and warm feeling. People were friendly and helpful. We look forward to returning to this place in the future. We were very happy and satisfied with our experience. Thank you. [Details]

Staff is amazing even though not all spoke English. Resort was clean. [Details]

I loved the Hotel, the staff, accommodations, location and more and will be back! [Details]

The Decameron Los Cocos is located on a beautiful beach north of PV. Very much a resort town, but located very close to some authentic Mexican towns. Well maintained resort, with access to the other two Decamerons on the same beach, so meals and washrooms were always close by. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Not many young people, seems to attract an older cliental. Being older ourselves, that was fine. We were able to enjoy the kayaks and sailboat on calm waters. Overall, food was a touch above average, especially with the options to eat at either of the other sister resorts, where we were always welcomed with a smile. We like snorkeling, but this area doesn't have much for decent coral reefs. We tried a trip to the nearby island, but found the snorkeling to be second rate at best, not living up to the hype. [Details]

Staff very friendly and helpful. front desk not to helpful needed more staff on desk to be knowledgeable and to be able to tell guests who are checking in about things that are going on and maybe even a hard copy. many days different parts of the towels and face clothes not available.Not enough drinking water left in room,water pressure and hot water not always available. FOOD always cold . Beds VERY hard . [Details]

Pedro, Carmen, Javiar, Jorge, Eduardo and many other workers at this resort make us want to keep coming back. [Details]

The location is very nice great beach
The staff were Awesome I was there for nine days the food tends to be the same however you could always find something good. My phone with my credit cards were stolen on the second day in the lobby of building 1 this made it a little more difficult however the staff tried their best to help me with finding them to no prevail. They have cameras in the gift shop but none in the lobby , I do believe cameras in the lobby would help deterrent crime. Would I go back Yes you get a good bang for your buck [Details]

The hotel was very clean and the people were very friendly. The food was great and it was nice to have different choices of what to eat every day (buffet, hamburgers, fries pizza, or at the steak house.) All the food was great. [Details]

Our vacation got off to a poor start when our bus from the airport stopped to drop off guests at another resort and several couples who were headed to Royal Decameron Los Cocos in Guayabitos were told that it was overbooked and there were no rooms available for us. We were bused back to a resort in Puerto Vallarta and ended having to stay there for three nights! Once reaching Los Cocos we found that sadly the beautiful iconic bright fuchsia pink, lime green, sunshine yellow, purple and orange painted exterior walls are being replaced by boring white and beige. Also the pretty printed bedspreads are being swapped out for plain white with a navy blue bed skirt. We were also sad to see that our favourite onsite restaurant, La Canoa and the Pelican bar had been renovated into one larger building, lacking the ambiance of the former buildings, which also has incorporated the breezeway area between the two, with no beach access to the bar without going through the restaurant. In the advertising material La Canoa is billed as a Mexican food speciality restaurant for dinners but we found that it and the Pelican bar were often closed, both for dinner and during the day sometimes. This was our eighth trip to Los Cocos and have always loved it and recommended it to many friends as the best place to go for a Mexican experience, but we were so sad to see that so much of the Mexican feeling is being lost with the changes that are happening. In addition, the beach BBQ is completely gone, and Mexican Fiesta night was held in the regular dining rooms instead of the large area by the snack bar with the great Mexican décor set-up. We missed that a lot. Several evenings during the supper hour there was loud karaoke held in the small open area right beside the large Tropical dining room which is open without walls. The noise of loud music and singing by people who couldn't sing was so loud that conversation was difficult and the meal far from relaxing. We also found that the gift shop at Los Cocos has gone corporate with all the items for sale having the name Decameron printed on them, and no shirts, hats etc. saying Guayabitos. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, both public areas and rooms were clean, great views, good beach for swimming and walking, although we found it so much more crowded with beach umbrellas and a sea of humanity, both at the resort and the Beach Club. Wonderful massage at a reasonable price. We are definitely hoping no more changes occur. Please bring back the bright, happy colours, both inside and outside!! [Details]

The service was really good even though very busy. I was surprised how many Mexican National families were there. The room was clean & spacious. Loved sitting up by the adults only pool. Our day at the beach club allowed us more time in the water and socializing. Considering its a 2 1/2 star I was very pleased. [Details]

We've been here many times over the years and everything else that we travel to gets compared to RdC. Super friendly staff, very clean complex both in and out. We love the beach as it is huge and you can be quite a ways out and still be only up to your waste (still gotta watch out for those big waves though). Beautiful location for weddings (saw 3 while there). Nice and level for most parts so easier for mobility challenged. The colours of the buildings are so bright and cheery! Beautiful sunsets! [Details]

The hotel was very comfortable, the food was great, it was right on the beach with the 2 restaurants/dining room right on the beach. Lots of chairs and palapas available while we were there, but you have to book your chair early in the morning. By 8:00 a.m. all the good chairs/locations were already taken. The a-la-carte restaurant had great food. People were lining up from 6:30 to book for the a-la-carte. Bookings started at 8:00 and by 8:15 all the bookings were gone. We enjoyed the beach and Los Cocos is a fishing village with lots of fishing and tourist bots anchored in the bay. We also enjoyed the beach food. There are many vendors on the beach selling fresh oysters shucked as you wait in wheel barrows. Other vendors are selling grilled fish fillet, whole fish or shrimp for $30 pesos, if you add tortillas, rice and beans, salad, salsa with a whole mackerel goes for $100 pesos. There were fruit vendors who made a beautiful and very tasty fruit salad for $30 pesos. There are are other vendors selling jewelry and clothing and other stuff as well. On most mornings we went for walks on the beach, then cut over to the main road and walked back to the resort browsing the shops and tacos stalls on the way back. The service at the hotel was great and the workers were very friendly and most helpful. They would go the extra mile to help you and make your stay most comfortable. The tennis court was in good condition and enjoyable. Lots of free water sports including catamaran, kayak etc. Even the locals on the street were very friendly and helpful. The service at the hotel was great and the workers were very friendly and most helpful. They would go the extra mile to help you and make your stay most comfortable. The tennis court was in good condition and enjoyable. Value for money, for us the beach food and street food was just as enjoyable as the public restaurant near the hotel. Private (not through the resort) sports fishing was $800/hour and a minimum for 4 hours for 4 persons. If you had a party of 4 each person would only pay $800 pesos, making it more affordable. You could negotiate the price down to $700/hour with a minimum of 4 hours.

A few negatives, the room we got 1303 was noisy from the hotel next door and the bar across the street. Lots of loud talking and music during the day and evening makes it difficult to sleep. The hotel rooms had no fridge, the coffee was terrible, there was no coffee bar for all night individually made coffee, no real cappuccino machine with hand crafted coffee, no individually made drinks at the beach bar. Drinks were mass produced from a fountain, the pina colada and margarita from the fountain were very sweet. They had Modelo an tap, The mixed drinks were terrible and limited in selection. The hotel has only a few coconut trees and no fresh coconuts. You had to buy those from the beach vendors for $30 pesos each. [Details]

Second visit. Stayed in superior room in coco 4. Very large rooms. Third floor, great view! Check in and Check out quick and painless. Wifi at lobby coco1 & coco4(seem to slow down to nil as more people came on board) but was able to do all what was needed. Staff thru out whole facility were very pleasant and very good. We brought our own coffee maker from home so one can have morning coffee in room. However in all fairness the coffee they had this year was much better from last year! Food was tasty and one could find something to eat but for a shrimping community would sure have been nice to have some shrimp meals. Many of the clients including us eat out at different eateries for the Mexican experience and of course the shrimp and seafood! No matter what the supper theme was for the evening they seem to be basically the same. The same complaint as I read previously on this site is the loud music on the beach, just down right awful! Then the animation team constantly pestering and talking on the microphone for participants. The Beach club is awesome, great group of staff and a quiet relaxing beach. However, may sound like a lot of negativity,but we would come back. Great bang for your buck!
The whole community of travellers is a senior group thru out the town . Young party goers may find the place too quiet with little to do! Definitely no PV! The only all inclusive ( another in town but must book on your own) [Details]

very poor English poorer food quality from year before not as much interaction evening shows were very loud check in wasmixed up and had to be changed causing delays much lower quality from previous year [Details]

We enjoyed this resort very much. We found the resort to be very clean, the staff are wonderful. Loved the location, close to la Peñita and los Ayala. [Details]

Very disappointed with hotel itself , food was below average and the drink service was terrible. As for the free activities e.g. kayaking you're not allowed to go anywhere only directly in front of the hotel in about 20 feet out for 20 min . Overall was very disappointed with this hotel it truly is a $20 a night hotel in Mexico,so the $1500 I spent for a week all-inclusive I felt I was way overcharged and for a couple hundred dollars more I could've stayed at a much nicer resort [Details]

This was not our first trip to this resort. It was however the first wedding we planned here. This was organized with the utmost care! Everything was seamless, and stress free. Everyone of our 30 attendees had so much fun. I also believe the food was even better this trip than before. [Details]

Amazing staff and very clean. [Details]

This is our second time back to this resort and it will not be our last. It is small, friendly safe and easy to get anywhere. We love visiting the small towns next to it and the wonderful markets. [Details]

Our experience was overall good. We were pleasantly surprised that for a three star it seemed more like a 4 star. [Details]

We travelled there for one week in late April and fell in love with the area, the beach, the people. We loved that the beach was long and very busy and that we got to witness some of the culture. The staff, the food, the beach vendors, the local people, the overall experience was one of the best we enjoyed in our travels. We loved that you could walk right off the hotel grounds and onto the streets of the little community. The hotel was very, very clean and staff went above and beyond. We have booked a return visit for the hotel for two weeks in April 2017 - cannot wait to return. We were made to feel at home!! [Details]

The entertainment and people make this a great place. The food was authentic and tasty. I never experienced a bad beach moment [Details]

The check in was painless after a 75 minute bus ride on a picturesque, winding highway. Thankfully when we booked they asked our preference so we were placed in a suitable room right near the beach. The complex stretches across the main street of the small town of Guayabitos (which is like any small town; very little traffic) to the shoreline. As usual, a bellboy showed us to our room. Unusual, it was very fast!
The room itself was nothing special. It was clean. The air conditioning worked. Unfortunately we didn't realize how dependent we had become on the mini fridge until we didn't have one :( You have to pay for the safe.
The first person to greet us joyfully was Jorge, the cleaner. He was always happy and friendly and cheerful.
The Entertainment Staff is in charge of towel changing so their 'hut' is right by the beach. The speaker is right on the beach. I come for the sounds of the ocean - not thrilled by the loud music or constant 'come join us'. Further down the beach, outside the dining room, is quieter and you get the shade from the building in the afternoon.
The Beach Club is smaller and quieter. The staff is really friendly and bring your drinks to your beach chair. Yes, the chairs are hard; thanks to previous reviewers who recommended bringing air mattresses!
The food was always fresh. The service was always at least adequate. Guaranteed excellent service from Alejandro (wow). Jesus, Noel, Joel, and Marcelo also should be mentioned.
Bartenders were good. Bring your own insulated cup; they only have the tiny clear ones. These cups aren't reused or recycled. One bartender was really friendly but I can't remember her name....sorry...she worked afternoons.
The Wifi was free but I only tried to use it in the lobbies. I don't know if it works in the room (I was on vacation).
The other vacationers were young Mexican families or senior Canadian couples. Interesting mix but it worked. [Details]

Great service and food. You truly feel like you are experiencing Mexico. Love the small town feel. A lot of Mexican tourists which means better, local food!!!! [Details]

This is the second time staying at the Decameron Los Cocos and can't wait to go back. Don't kid yourself this is a three star hotel, but if you want a safe, comfortable place to stay this is it. No pretensions. The best thing about is the resort is the staff they are genuinely hard working very caring people that would be happy to look after any request. When talking to fellow travellers about this resort, all were very happy and can't wait to return most being back at least 3 times. Best value you will receive for your dollar. [Details]
