We went to the Royal Decameron Montego Bay Janruary 29th and spent a week out there. It is very beautiful there and lots to do. The resort is more for the 40+ people, but it is what you make it. If you plan on going to Dunns River Falls make sure you take water shoes with you. They work the best for crawling up the falls.
Back to the resort. The staff is very friendly and the food descent. The rooms are clean, but they don't have fridges. The hair dryer in our room didn't work the best so I would suggest you take your own although it is humid there and my hair was a mop as soon as I walked outside. The entertainment wasn't the greatest in the evenings, but it really didn't bother us we were so pooped in the evening that we just wanted to relax any ways. Bottles of water are supplied to the room as well. It is a very layed back atmosphere so it kind of depends on you to get things going. The alchol drinks aren't the greatest but you can buy cheap liquor for your room. I would suggest that if your really into your drinks.
The beach isn't that big but it is wonderful and there is alot of sitting areas.
I would go back in a heart beat.
Beware of the markets. You can get alot of cheap stuff there but they are very aggressive on selling things to you, but if you like big sales and are aggressive you can handle it. The people are very frindly in the markets but just very aggressive in selling.
It is worth it and if you didn't like it there it is what you make it.

Returning to the royal Decameron after two years absence, with a large wedding group in January , was very exciting considering we have stayed there four years in a row prior. The good points the wedding was beautiful the planner and staff did an amazing job. The staff that work there are fabulous a huge shout out to Deanna in the buffet thanks for the olives! Also Kirk in the buffet,Shelley in the activity department and Simone at the bar all amazing staff members! To the new French manager happy staff make happy guests and u sir are an ignorant uneducated individual! To threaten your return guests with calling the police for smokin a spliff in a quiet secluded area is beyond comprehension a simple request to put it out would have been sufficient but u crossed the line after all it's Jamaica mon not Montreal! To the security ,so inappropriate to sexually harass your guests you know who you are! And to the couple having sex on the fourth floor, you were at the wrong resort , really?? it's sad but we will never be back due to spring break xxx and all the other things overlooked next year a private villa that we can be sure to have an amazing trip without the added BS!

We have returned from a great week at RDMB. There were 7 in our group ranging from late 30's to early 60's. We all had a great time. The staff is what sets this resort apart. They are always friendly and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. There is a new GM from Canada, Alan Richard, who is a very nice guy. He has started having a managers party for repeat and VIP guests. It gives people a chance to meet the staff. RDMB is our favorite resort and we will continue to visit as often as possible.

I have been to Jamaica 13 times over the last 20 years.. All parts of the island.. Runaway Bay, Ochos Rios, Negril and Montego Bay..
I truly loved the RDMB, but this last visit has left a very bad taste, and I will never return again..
I traveled with a large group of people and most of the people would not return again..
More than half of our group could not get "locks" for their safety deposit boxes.. They would tell you to come back in an hr or so, and after several days of hearing this, they just gave up..
This may not seem like a big issue, but when your room has a door with a faulty lock it's an issue..
We stayed there 2 weeks.. Once in 2 weeks our room was cleaned before 5 pm..
This isn't a big issue either, but on your wedding day, maybe clean towels, and your room cleaned would be nice..before your 3 pm wedding..
The rooms have a full bath too.. No bathtub plug either.. We asked for one, and got one 14 days later.. ( the night before we left)
One of our guests mentioned to the housekeeping staff that we were getting married, and if they could do something "special" to our room, when we return.. The response was "Whats in it for us!!" Wow!! And we tip housekeeping everyday!!
Security really needs to "beef it up" a bit, not from Jamaicans, but from other guests..
One night before 8, on our way to dinner, right by the elevator, a couple was having sex..We had 2 minors in our group, and thank God they did not see this!!
Topless, nude tanners on the 4th floor.. Nothing ever said to these people..
This is not Hedonism..
The hotel manager really needs to get a hold of this situtation..
I can understand the smell of constant ganja, ( after all you are in Jamaica) that is to be expected..
But the RDMB has turned into
"Spring Break rated X".. What a disappointment...
