What do guests think about this lodging establishment?

The accommodation received mixed feedback from guests. The main complaints revolved around the poor quality of the Wi-Fi, with inconsistent signal coverage throughout the hotel. Some rooms were also small and in need of maintenance, with faulty curtains and light switches. Guests were disappointed as their bookings did not offer the promised ocean view, only facing a road instead. The customer service was described as average, lacking in helpfulness and structure, particularly during check-in. Additionally, there were reports of contaminated food, but the hotel did not take responsibility. On a positive note, some guests enjoyed their stay, appreciating the hotel's tranquil atmosphere and stunning sea views from comfortable facilities. However, the overall feedback suggests that the hotel did not meet guests' expectations and failed to deliver on certain amenities and services.

    Decameron Aquarium San Andres Colombia
    Ty - Aug 4, 2023

    This hotel was nothing like the photos presented. It is old and in constant need of repair. The room we were given had a bed, a small desk and chair, and bar fridge. The shower was adequate but the drain was completely plugged. The bed was old and hard and the pillows were probably from the 1960s. At least the air conditioning worked.

    This hotel is an all inclusive which is probably why people stay here, but quite honestly the food was not edible. We walked through the buffet at dinner time and promptly left. We renamed it the “Barf-fet”. It was horrible. We tried again the next morning for breakfast and ate scrambled eggs and fruit. The fried fish had a strong taste of ammonia, it was either bad or they were cooking it with chemicals. Then we went and found other restaurants in the town to eat at. The risk of food poisoning was just too high.
    There is no wifi in the rooms, only in the lobby. The pool is small, dirty (we watched as the pool guy scoop what looked like foamy puke from the pool) very crowded and the chairs are in rough shape. There is a positive here though. There is a “beach” access, which is just some steps down to the ocean, but it’s much better than being at the pool.
    We tried to make the best of it but in the end we decided to leave after 3 days of our 5 day reservation. Trust me, you’ll get a better sleep and food somewhere else. Decameron won’t ever get another dollar from me.
