This is the email we sent to our travel agent after our return home. Puerto Vallarta is a beautiful place but we will never stay at the Royal Decameron again or book thru Nolitours. You will be alot better off staying at one of the newer resorts in the resort district. Hello there, we booked a trip thru you at... more

We stayed at the Royal Decameron from July 4 thru July 9th. We had a great time! My husband and I and two daughters ages 10 and 6 went with a group of other families. We had 19 people in our group all together ranging in ages 6 to 60. Before our trip, I read tripadvisor for weeks learning all... more

We first stayed at this hotel nine years ago, so its location out of PV wasn't a surprise to us. The hotel itself, as many other reviewers have mentioned, is colourful with lovely well-maintained gardens and the staff are for the most part very friendly.

Flight was on time, food was... more

The manager, Karla Carlos, laminated a card... more

Well, I thought we had done our homework for this trip, but obviously not well enough. It was not until we arrived at the airport that we discovered that the Decameron is not even really IN Puerto Vallarta! It is in a neighboring town by the name of Nuevo Vallarta, which is basically a 'slum' outskirt of PV -- not... more
