Decameron Los Cocos is the oldest and largest of the three Decameron properties in Rincón de Guayabitos, having operated since 1996 with a 2025 renovation. At 240 rooms, it's 60% larger than La Marina and substantially bigger than Isla Coral, and it's the only one of the three with both an adults-only pool and an on-site nightclub that runs until 3 AM. For guests who want the full Decameron social experience in Guayabitos — late nights included — this is the property to book.
The '3-for-1 Dine Around' program connects Los Cocos with Decameron La Marina and Decameron Isla Coral, letting guests use all three properties' restaurants, bars, and pools. Los Cocos is the nightclub hub in this arrangement: guests from the sister resorts specifically come here for the disco. On-site dining includes one à la carte restaurant (La Bamba, Mexican with grilled meats and seafood), two buffets (La Canoa and El Tropical), a snack bar, and a pizzeria. The pizzeria and snack bar add meaningful variety over the sister properties.
The honest drawback: WiFi doesn't reach guest rooms, only lobby areas — consistent feedback across reviews, not an isolated complaint. Bring your own data plan if connectivity matters. The resort's layout involves significant stair use to reach the adults-only pool and the La Bamba steakhouse, which is a real accessibility issue the property doesn't adequately disclose. À la carte reservation spots are competitive, same as all three sister properties.
Practical context: 240 rooms in nine categories ranging from 388 sq ft Super Saver up to 474 sq ft Standard with sea views and stocked minibars. In-room safes cost extra. All-inclusive covers all three main meals, national-brand alcohol, non-motorized water sports, and daily activities including a pool-based introductory scuba lesson. PVR airport is 62–69 km, 52 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes depending on traffic.
The Beach Club Los Ayala (4–5 minutes away with included shuttle) gives guests a second beach option with volleyball and snack bar — worth doing for variety on a week-long stay. Fresh fruit at breakfast is consistently cited as a strong point. Whale watching season is December–March (extra cost). San Pancho and Sayulita are within easy day-trip distance for guests who want to explore the Riviera Nayarit beyond the resort.
