My huddy and I went to this resort for 1 week in April. We had never been to Colombia before or even thought of going. We choose this place because we got a good deal and read some good reviews. I just want to tell everyone that this hotel it spectacular, we loved every minute there. This is the type... More

The hotel is great, the staff always give their best to suit your needs, and there are plenty of activities to do during the day! If you want or need peace and love being surrounded by nature this is the place to be! Only bad thing is that the all inclusive will probably mean some extra weight and the end... More

Excellent resort, clean, beautiful grounds, excellent staff who would do anything for you and not stand there with their hand out. They taught us spanish and we taught them english. Food was good, a la cartes a little better, but staff at the Thai a la carte need to take lessons in keeping track of everything as they seemed very... More

We just returned from a 7 day stay at the RD Baru ( April 5 - April 12 2012 ). I would highly recommend this resort to anyone who enjoys all inclusive, carribbean style vacations. We came across this resort by chance, and after some research decided to give it a try as it was different than your typical cuba,... More

Trip to hotel - there were lots of complaints about the trip from the airport to the hotel but it’s not bad at all. All but 20 minutes is on paved roads, the 20 minutes that is on a gravel road has a ton of potholes and it’s very bumpy but the bus goes slow. The most interesting part is... More

I recently went to Cartagena Colombia and I stayed at the Royal Decameron in Baru. Although I thought it was a beautiful resort, there were somethings that I wish I had known about. First they don't tell you that the 3 hour drive to the resort is rough as the roads are not modern. And on the way to the... More

We visited the Decameron Baru the last week of March. The bumpy road was not that bad and the barge to cross the river was no big deal, it fits 2 buses no problem (previous commments stated that it barely held a bus) They will be building a bridge soon so the barge will not be necessary. It was about... More

We just returned home a couple of days ago, and we totally loved it. This was not our first trip, we have been to many all inclusive resorts in Jamaica, Honduras, Mexico, Cuba, DR etc. This was our first Decameron Hotel though. More in details: Rooms: We had block 4, on the second floor. We really liked it, though it... More
