Pros & Cons
Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach, A Trademark All Inclusive Resort
Pros
Under 6 minutes from Sangster International Airport — the fastest all-inclusive resort transfer in Jamaica, which adds meaningful time to a short stay.
2024 renovation means the rooms are among the most recently updated of any Montego Bay all-inclusive at this price tier.
Cornwall Beach and Doctor's Cave Beach are both within walking distance — guests can experience two of Montego Bay's best beaches without transportation.
The live Jamaican band in the lobby lounge delivers genuine reggae and Caribbean music, not generic resort cover songs.
Cons
Two on-site restaurants is thin for a week-long stay — the buffet and one à la carte option require the sister property access to feel like a complete dining program.
Oliva reservations — the most sought-after dinner option — fill within hours of check-in during peak season. Late-arriving guests may struggle to get a table all week.
Buffet food quality is inconsistent based on timing — late diners at the Jamrock buffet find less variety than guests who eat within the first 30 minutes of service opening.
Grand Velas Los Cabos
Pros
The only all-inclusive in the world simultaneously holding Forbes Five Stars, AAA Five Diamonds, and a MICHELIN-starred restaurant — a genuine distinction, not a marketing claim
Cocina de Autor's 8-10 course tasting menu with wine pairing is fully included in the all-inclusive rate — at a standalone restaurant this would cost hundreds per person
Every suite starts at 1,081 sq ft with ocean views, private terrace jacuzzi, and 24-hour butler concierge — the entry suite here exceeds most competitors' top categories
Three-tier infinity pools naturally segregate family, activity, and adult-only zones without restricting access — practical design rather than strict policy
Cons
Beach is not swimmable — Los Cabos Pacific currents make ocean swimming dangerous; the infinity pools are where guests actually swim
Summary
Grand Velas Los Cabos has a higher guest rating, while Grand Velas Los Cabos has more restaurants, while Grand Velas Los Cabos is the larger property, while Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach, A Trademark All Inclusive Resort has more dining venues, while Grand Velas Los Cabos offers more activities.
Cocina de Autor is restricted to adults and guests 18+ — families with younger children can't access the MICHELIN-starred restaurant during their stay
Rates start around $1,600/night in low season and $1,800+ in peak winter — a significant commitment that requires being genuinely invested in the Five Diamond experience to justify
