Best of both worlds at Montego Bay all inclusive on beach, Hip Strip

Enjoy the best of both worlds at the Royal Decameron Montego Bay all inclusive resort -- a breathtaking beachfront location only steps from the city's bustling tourism center. The beach and pool area attract water sports enthusiasts and those craving quiet time in a cozy lounge chair. Guests explore the shops, craft vendors and live reggae on the vibrant "Hip Strip." The resort has three bars and evening entertainment, including live shows and a disco. Nightly theme buffets and an a la carte restaurant create memorable dining experiences.

Highlights
  • Tropical location on white sand beach
  • "Hip Strip" location within walking distance to shops, restaurants, clubs
  • Water sports
  • Two restaurants with buffet, a la carte dining
  • Live entertainment

 

Rooms

The 142 guest rooms at the Royal Decameron Montego Bay All resort occupy a four story structure just steps from the beach. All of the rooms have ocean views and most have balconies or terraces. Rooms are bright and spacious with a tropical motif, containing a king or two double beds. All include bathrooms, air conditioning, ceiling fan and TV.

 

Features

The beach in front of the Royal Decameron Montego Bay All resort is a magnet for water sports enthusiasts and those wishing to relax in a lounge chair. Non-motorized water sports are available, including snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking, pedal boats and Hobie Cats. The resort's main pool offers a dramatic view of the ocean as well as a lively swim-up bar serving fresh tropical concoctions.

 

The location near Montego Bay "Hip Strip" means endless opportunities for shopping and jammin' to live reggae. Shop for jewelry, crafts or that perfect Bob Marley t-shirt.  After dark, live reggae blares from the Brewery, which serves a signature "Firewater" cocktail.

Nice Hotel - Great Value

Had a very nice 3 day stay at this hotel. The hotel and grounds are nice and the staff is great. If you are looking for luxury this is not your place. If you are looking for a nice place for a great price this fits the bill.

It's worth it - awesome time!

Very nice if you're not planning on spending your time inside the hotel, I never cared much about the hotels as long as they have the necessary things like soap, shampoo, hair dryer and some decent tv channels if you're interested in a show before you fall asleep. The food was good and the entertainment was also good. I have no complaints at all except for only one: I was transferred to another Decameron for 2 days due to "unforseen" circumstances, where there were a lot of french people and they had to translate all the entertainment pieces, I didn't like that. So, don't go to that one. It's like a french club.

Better Than it's 3 stars

If you are looking for loud, party all night, type of hotel.. this is not for you. Its was quiet, layback atmosphere with beautiful water for miles. Its not huge so the food was always fresh and well cooked, flavorful, great! The staff and fellow guest were polite and personable very family oriented, and right in the middle of the hip strip, good stuff. I will be staying there on my next visit

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

You should use jamaican money when you there its cheaper, if you have jamaican, when you buy something its 5 in jamaican, but if you only have usd they will always say 10. The best exchange rate is the Jewelry store on the left side of the block about a 8 minute walk up the strip. Go out the gate make a right its on the left. They give you the rate of the day no more no less. If it's 89.99 per usd they give 89.99

I think the hotel shuts down too early, there's really little nite life after 11pm however, the hip strip outside of the hotel is happening, margaretaville is awesome, the bobsled cafe is also nice, there is a night life but outside the hotel, the strip is very safe lined with shops and bars I had a great time and met great people, probably permanent friends and the hotel staff was awesome." I'LL BE BACK"

Ok service and old building

The first impression we received was of an old building, keys to the room were regular keys, not cards, there was no shampoo in the room and begged for two days to get three small bottles, they sprayed this thing to kills instects at 7 pm which was dinner time and was impossible to eat having to inhale all of the spermicide that was around, too many restrictions, we couldnt bring food outside of the restaurants and service was poor, people didnt care.

Get What You Pay For

Nothing really special about this place. It's not bad, but not great either. It doesn't cost a whole lot to stay here, but don't go expecting 5 or even 4 star quality either. Food was alright, we generally found something to eat everyday. It wasn't always the best food though either. If you're looking for a week away to booze and sit in the sun, this is your place. If your looking for any kind of luxury, look elsewhere.

When your walking down the hip strip, be prepared to be hassled by the locals. Keep in mind this is what they do for a living and don't make a whole lot doing it, so I had some sympathy for them. If your not interested, just say no thank you and they'll generally leave alone.

Business trip

Everything about the hotel was okay. It wasn't anything spectacular. However, the beach was absolutely beautiful and so was the view if you get an Oceanview. We had to pay $5(that's US, not Jamaican) to use the internet for 15 minutes. Every 15 minutes, it will cost you $5. It's also $5 for 15 minutes to use the WI-FI. The food was okay. They served pretty much the same foods everyday, but the presentation was lovely. The food and drinks are unlimited in terms of the consumption, but are not unlimited in terms of the time of day you choose to eat. Overall it was okay i guess.

Easy-going Fun

The Royal Decameron was a nice hotel. The staff is really friendly and works hard to keep the guests happy. My husband and I had a great time kayaking and snorkeling. We also loved the giant chess set. There is a sailing instructor that doesnt give lessons but will take you out on the water. The food was so so good - really we were shocked that the buffet never disappointed. The evening shows were entertaining. The rooms are comfortable - nothing special but clean. The great thing is all rooms have a water view. The beaches have a lot of coral so step carefully so you dont cut your foot. The poolside bar and beach-side grill were perfect for afternoon snacks. There are plenty of lounge chairs for sunbathing, but they could use a few more beach umbrellas for shade seekers.

Unbeatable location for the price

Great for the price. THe staff was very friendly the food was good. The hotel location was great, we could walk the hip strip instead of paying for expensive cab rides. Recommend the party boat tour to dunns river which you can book at the hotel.
