Pros & Cons

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos, Ramada All-Inclusive Resort

Pros

  • On-site nightclub until 3 AM with included drinks — the late-night hub for all three Guayabitos Decameron properties.
  • Four pools including an adults-only option — more aquatic variety than either sister property.
  • Two buffets reduce overcrowding and give a choice of venue for each meal.
  • Beach Club Los Ayala with included shuttle adds a second beach destination without extra cost.

Cons

  • WiFi is lobby-only — guest rooms have no in-room connectivity, a significant limitation for guests expecting it.
  • The adults-only pool and La Bamba restaurant require stair access — this isn't flagged clearly at booking and is a genuine issue for mobility-limited guests.
  • Spa availability has been inconsistent; confirm it's operational at check-in rather than assuming.
  • La Bamba reservations (one à la carte for 240 rooms) are the most competitive of any Decameron property in the group.

Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa

Pros

  • Pink Gin Beach is genuinely calm and swimmable — sheltered cove geometry prevents the choppy surf that affects more exposed Caribbean beaches.
  • Ten restaurants for 257 rooms is a high ratio, resulting in shorter waits and more consistent kitchen quality than larger Sandals properties.
  • Five-minute airport transfer is among the shortest in the Sandals chain — no long bus rides after a redeye.
  • SkyPool suites with private infinity plunge pools are architecturally distinctive and not replicated at most other properties.
  • PADI scuba diving up to two dives/day is included — at $80–100 per dive externally, this adds real value for certified divers.
  • The property's smaller, quieter personality makes it work well for couples who want intimacy over high-energy activity.

Cons

  • The Sandals app reservation system is unreliable — restaurants show as fully booked while tables are available, and closures go unannounced.
  • "Partial ocean view" and even some "ocean view" rooms deliver disappointing sightlines — verify the specific building and floor before booking.

Summary

Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has a higher guest rating, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has more restaurants, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa is the larger property, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has more dining venues, while Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos, Ramada All-Inclusive Resort offers more activities.

  • Butler Elite categories represent a meaningful price jump; the value is clearest for guests who actually use 24-hour room service and prefer to delegate planning.
  • Beach lounger availability at the South Seas pool requires early claiming (pre-8:30 AM on busy weeks) — not ideal for late risers.
  • Older sections of the property show maintenance wear relative to the newer Italian village buildings.
