Royal Decameron information

Post by jacrozie » Wed May 31, 2006 8:37 pm

This is our second trip down to PV, and have booked a week at the Royal Decameron Hotel. I had a friend there last month and loved it. Is there anyone else that can give me more information on the hotel? We are booked for the week of September 23 2006.

One year ago today we stayed at the Getaway Club, and we were not impressed, the owner or manager was a jerk but still had a great time in PV and enoyed the people !! cant wait

We have been going there for 6 years. We love the hotel and cannot say anything bad about it. The only drawback is that it is quite a way from the Getaway hotel, but we enjoyed the bus rides on the local bus. The little town of Bucerias that is within walking distance is great. We walked along the beach a few times a week. The Decameron resort is quite large and spread out with lots of things to see and do. We have stayed at a few hotels closer to the downtown, but prefere Decameron over all. If you have any questions let me know.

Is there any great deals on mopeds around the hotel. :D I would never dream of taking one into PV, I have seen and been in the taxi there(wow). It just seems like a nice idea to rent a moped or two and check out the fishing village, the other hotels, and the area around Royal Decameron
:D

I am not sure about mopeds for rent but...The De Cameron has bicycles
on the Resort for guests use.
One can easily ride around the area on a bike . I would suggest adding a tush cushion..The cobblestones are a little Bum py.

I also see that the Royal Decameron has a car rental place. When we last visited PV in June 2005 we never rented a car since we stayed in the hotel zone and the downtown drivers are crazy. Staying away from PV it might be nice to rent a car and check some sites.

I have emailed a few car rental places and they have given me the run around. I can get a car for $25.00 a day but they dont want to let you know how much the insurance is. Seeing those taxi drivers down there I cant rent without insurance. Have you rented a car, or know were I should go?

I did check out the Buserias site and they were not helpful :shock:

Sorry, can't be of much help as I have never rented a car in PV but have heard good things about Gecko Rent A Car (www.geckorentcar.com) in Bucerias. You may also want to check out this thread on Car rentals viewtopic.php?t=7693

I hear the nightly shows at the Royal Decameron are great, does anyone know if the drinks are free for there all inclusive guests in the Disco or just admission, some travel sites say they are and some say they are not.

Ah yes.

The incredible RDC!!!

We go to PV every year and stayed at RDC in 04.

It was incredible.

Yes the drinks are free in the disco.

Yes there are bikes available and I do recommend taking them out for a spin thru a trail that runs into Bucerias.

We are planning on retuning to RDC this year as we do miss the unbelievable beaches and the resort.

PS...we have a few pics of the resort at:

Thanks for the reply and the pictures, they were great !

We have 3 months and 3 days left before we can experience the RDC. It seems like forever but it was the only time my wife could get off from work. It is probably for the best since we just got a 10 week old long hair chihuahua. She will be potty trained by then for grandma

We will be visiting the Royal Decameron Dec 12-19. What is the best building to stay in that is closest to the Ocean? Are the rooms with 2 double beds? How can one make request for specific buildings/bed arrangements?

Building 3 is the only one with an elevator. Central to everything.

6 more days to go. Will be there July 1-15. You will love it, a great resort.

Would have been better had Mexico won today!
