“If you are contemplating the idea of booking a vacation at Decameron, Barú, read this! Staying in this place has been the worse experience for me, my husband and some friends. We booked a whole week, however, we couldn’t take to stay in this boring, cheap place any longer and decided to leave after 3 days. The food was OK in the buffet area, however, the “Italian”, “Asian” and “Seafood” restaurants are a joke. In regards to entertainment, what they call shows, don’t exist (cancellations) or are low quality. The employees do their best to entertain the guests but they don’t have the resources or proper training to deliver quality. The común areas are boring, not even music or…..NOTHING! On our way out of this prison, other clients were commenting about their bad experience and how some also ended their stay before time. Only my husband and I paid close to $2,000 and our friends even more as they reserved in the “exclusive” area. Of course, we did not get a penny back. This was the worst, expensive and bad experience! They practically stole our money! I requested at least part of my money back but all I received was this standard response: “Todos nuestros hoteles cuentan con un programa amplio de recreación dirigido a adultos y niños, dichas actividades se dan a lugar en los diferentes escenarios del hotel, con el fin de acompañar el desarrollo y avance de sus vacaciones, también ,para nuestros visitantes mayores como para los más pequeños de la familia, sinceramente lamentamos no haber cumplido con sus expectativas, asimismo, se socializó con el área encargada, para revisar sus importantes comentarios, con el fin de determinar lo ocurrido y tomar los correctivos que den a lugar.” Which translates to thanks for your feedback, we won’t do anything about it, ah! and money back?..forget it! You have been warned! Thanks for reading and good luck!”
