One of the best places I’ve stayed at and had the most amazing vacation with my fiancé. The staff was amazing, the programs super fun, so many activities to do daily, the club was on point every day, the food delicious, the ocean clear and clean, the drinks absolutely amazing also. I would go here again, planning out next trip already! Deff 1000/100

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.

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.

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.

Pésimo hotel, no gastes tu dinero ahí
El hotel está descuidado, muchas cosas ya deben renovarse, la comida es mala, algunos platos de sienten incluso guardados, el servicio regular, limpieza deja mucho que desear (vajilla sucia, cuartos con mal olor) y nuestra estadía fue fatal, estaban unos estudiantes del Liceo de Loja, que hacían tremendo escándalo hasta altas horas de la madrugada, tomaban, fumaban en pasillos y piscina (algo supuestamente prohibido), nos quejamos en recepción porque a los chicos les parecía “súper divertido” gritar en los pasillos y tocar la puerta cuando veían el rótulo de no molestar y despertaron en 4 ocasiones a mi hija de 1 año!! Sin mencionar que intentaron abrir la habitación.
La persona de seguridad supuestamente me iba a llamar, algo que hasta ahora no sucede.
Para no volver y de plano no recomendar a nadie que vaya.
No vale la pena el hotel

Jamás te hospedes en este hotel, dinero botado
Es un hotel extremadamente caro, para los beneficios que “dan”. Ofertan buffets con la más baja calidad de productos, panes, embutidos, carnes, y ni hablar de la pésima calidad de los licores, solo para ejemplificar cuando se pide vino, ofrecen el vino más barato de cartón.
El hot dog de los snacks es con el pan más común.
Con la excusa de la pandemia cierran temprano la piscina y el 50-60% de las actividades están suspendidas.
El servicio al cliente es MALO, llenos de trabas tontas, que hacen que sea una experiencia horrible. Gastan el tiempo poniendo como problema no cambiar a toallas limpias, o no hacen reservas en restaurantes a la carta si no te quedas más que una noche.
La comida es horrible, parecería que hacen todo con lo más barato posible y lo más rápido, cómo por salir de la obligación del all inclusive.
Me olvidaba, te multan por todo, y viven amenazando a los huéspedes!
