THE FAMILY VACATION - A GIFT THAT LASTS FOREVER!

If you are looking for the inclusive family vacation, catering to all ages, the clean, well maintained, Royal Decameron, Puerto Vallarta, is perfect. Situated on the north shore of more +Banderas Bay, within walking distance from the hotel lies the quaint authentic Mexican town of Bucerias where you can shop for all things 'Mexican' (follow the long stretch of sandy beach or walk along the main road)

Royal Decameron is definitely a lively joyful family oriented place, offering a myriad of activities including: tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, organized activities at the children's pool. Ceramic painting (many children joined me at this fun-filled craft activity - and we got to make our own souvenirs to take home) Guests can enjoy non-motorized water sports using boogie boards, kayaks, and catamarans. Motorized watersports are an extra charge but are great for the jet and water-skiers.

Available to you fishermen, scuba divers, dolphin/whale watchers there are packages catering to these activities, offered through the 24 hour service at the front desk. Families may join in athletic contests and entertainment conducted by the resort staff, all of whom were friendly, helpful and efficient. And for the party lovers - nightly shows are performed in the resort's open-air theater - bars stay open to the early hours of the morning.
