The staff was the best part of the trip. Everyone was exceptionally nice and welcoming. The room didn’t look like it was cleaned properly. The food for someone who is Colombian/American wasn’t what I expected. I loved the people outside in back of the hotel where the beach, they were selling souvenirs. It was good for the price.

Good value!!!!
When I read the reviews I was somewhat nervous about my choice but I found that for the price the place was terrific. I think some folks are just too spoiled. The only minor complaint was the way dinner reservations had to be made..... MR

The property has lots of potential but when you think all inclusive at the beach you expect more hands on service. The drinks are given in small cups and you have to go the bar, what ever happened to waiters at the pool or beach. So you are often running back and forth.The pool is often over populated. Food is offered constantly with a catch you also have to fetch it at various areas of the property. I guess if you have never been to an all inclusive with top notch service this like a great place. But I was sadly disappointed. There were some stand outs the service from the kids events coordinator Yulie she was awesome. At the buffet there was Señor Lucho serious the reasons why we enjoyed our stay.

The check in is at 3:00 pm if you go earlier you have to pay more to stay and receive the service, it is not fair because you paid ( it is not cheaper) and you have to pay more.

DON'T STAY at Decameron Galeon Santa Marta Colombi
This was the worst hotel experience I've had in years. Beyond disappointing especially for the price. We paid $350/night for a family of 3, all inclusive. Start to finish, bad. Although the pols were open until 8 pm, the towel cabana closed at 5 pm, so by the time we got out to the pool, we could not get towels. There were only 2 shower towels in our room with 4 beds, we had to request more. They gave us only 1 room key (old school actual key, not card key), and claimed they had no extra copies. There was no WI FI in the hotel, except in the lobby, so we could not even contact each other to find each other around the property. WI FI was expensive, and only good for one device at a time. The bar had a line out the door, and the drinks were watery and weak. The FOOD...so bad. It was buffet. All the fish had been sitting in the steamer tins for hours. There were no desserts left. I asked for red wine, and I got a teeny glass of wine from a box. I finally complained to the manager. Fortunately my Spanish is good enough to present my complaints. They finally got me an extra key by taking the cleaning lady's key! Even worse- all the other families were dealing with the same lack of keys, so when we were trying to rest in our room, families were sitting on the steps outside our paper-thin front door, waiting for their ONE key-holder to return and let them into their room. Honestly, I can't see how this hotel remains in business.

Overall it was very good. The food left a little to be desired, but still it was alright. After our stay we drove to Santa Marta. I think we probably stayed in the best hotel in town. The show at night was not as advertised. I did not enjoy it, but it seemed like everyone else did. I would recommend it.

Excellent resort in Santa Marta
We had a great time at this all-inclusive resort. The staff was very friendly and professional, the facilities were in excellent condition and clean and the food was great which is typical in colombia. If you are considering visiting Colombia, like being at the beach and want a have a great family fun vacation, this hotel is the place to go.

Upgrade one star if you are able
Good location. Rooms are outdated and it gives the appearance of being dirty. Furniture is banged up, scratched and a 1950's quilt was on the bed. The buffet was generally medium quality food but it consistently ran out of green salad. Variety of fruits and vegetables was good so it evened out. Freshly prepared juice of your choice was the "peace de resistance"

Not worth your money...
This place is outdated, the quality of our room was nothing like the pictures on the website. The food was nothing to write home about, we ate it because we needed "substance", but it was not what I expected. Part of the beach was closed off with yellow tape, so this was not pleasant to look at. We were upgraded to a nicer room, the "cabana" as they called it. This was much better, so I would recommend asking for it ahead of time. However, I would recommend just going elsewhere. It is just not worth the money
