What guests think
At Grand Decameron Panama, A Trademark All Inclusive Resort, travelers report a sprawling beachfront property with many pools and activities, but frequent crowds, long check‑in and bar lines, and dated rooms create a mixed experience across comfort, service, and dining.
Guests praise the well-kept grounds and beach, multiple pools, and family-friendly entertainment, with quieter Plus areas appreciated by some. Common frustrations include slow, disorganized check-in, difficulty reserving à la carte restaurants, long waits for drinks, and very limited shade or available loungers. Rooms are generally basic and aging, with maintenance issues and obstructed ocean views noted, while air conditioning and Wi‑Fi can be unreliable and several restaurants lack AC. Overall, expect a lively, amenities-rich resort with good beach time but uneven service and comfort.

Facilities
Large beachfront complex with many pools, nightly shows, and a separate Plus area (including adult-only/quieter pools), but crowds, long bar queues, and a shortage of loungers and shade are recurring. Expect many stairs/no elevators, occasional pool closures, patchy Wi‑Fi, and hot open-air venues.

It’s cheap resort. The worse check in ever, lot of people complaining, have to wait for almost 2h to get my room, nobody help in you, just horrible ! Internet was terrible! Couldn’t get WiFi most of the time. Food was cheap, reservation for dinner at any restaurant was limited, have to wake up at 7am to make it, ridiculous! Gym is super small and poor A/C No A/C at the restaurants, lobby, hot everywhere If you want to safe money, do it, but I wouldn’t come back, I won’t recommend it Prefer pay little bit more and get something decent

Très bel hôtel familial, les jardins et le site est magnifique, la nourriture est bonne et les spectacles de danse très professionnels. Pour le service, il faut demander, mais une fois qu’on demande, le service est donné. À déconseiller pour les personnes à mobilité réduite, car le site est immense et beaucoup d’escaliers et de marche à faire.

Wir hatten All Inclusiv Plus gebucht und haben uns in unserem Zimmer und in der Hotelanlage sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Plus Service enthält separate Poolbereiche, separate Bereiche am Strand und einen "only Adult" Pool mit Poolbar und guter Auswahl an Cocktails. Neben 2 großen Büffetrestaurants (mit identischem Essen) gibt es 7 verschiedene A la Carte Restaurants (Panamesisch, mexikanisch, italienisch, mediterran, asiatisch, Steakhaus und El Canal ein Fischrestaurant) in denen man reservieren kann. Man wählt unter verschiedenen Hauptgerichten diese werden am Tisch serviert. Auch hier ist Wein, Bier, Wasser, Softdrinks etc. im Preis inkludiert. Die Minibar wird täglich neu mit Wasser, Bier und Softdrinks befüllt. Die Zimmer des Plus Services liegen im hinteren Bereich der Anlage und sind deshalb ruhig da weit genug von der Animation entfernt. Die Gäste sind überwiegend aus Mittel- und Südamerika und Kanada, etwas spanisch Kenntnisse helfen bei der Kommunikation mit dem Personal, man gibt sich aber auch Mühe Englisch zu verstehen. Das Hotel ist 4 Sterne Landeskategorie, insofern passte für uns das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis in jedem Fall. Wir würden das Hotel jederzeit wieder mit Plus Service buchen.

We were a group of 3 couples, and we stayed in the Plus area. We were able to go to Lobby 3 for a quick check in, and were served a cold welcome drink right away. Our room was on the 2nd floor (no elevator for those that have limitations). Our room was lovely. It had two beds, and a smaller cot thing. We had a beautiful view of the ocean. Our room was clean, and we had no problems with the towels. The buffet (Pacifiko) had a wonderful variety and was very good. The first night, they were serving Mexican food and each night the food rotated to something different. There was always plenty of seating. The staff worked very hard and everything was kept clean. We ate at three of the other restaurants: Pannamai (Italian)--excellent; Cafe Med--excellent; and Cowboy Steak House--terrible steak, tough as shoe leather and I couldn't cut it even though I ordered medium rare. The adult swim up bar was excellent. I especially enjoyed talking with Lisbeth! The swim up bar was the only one that would let us have drinks in the pool. One problem is that every day we would go down around 7 am and all the chairs would already be saved with people putting their towels on them. In one of the lower pools, there was a group that hogged two cabanas and stacked all the upright chairs and tables inside these cabanas and stacked up several loungers as though they were the only people at the resort that might want to use them! The beach was beautiful! We had a wonderful stay

We spent three nights here. It was a long traffic filled drive from Panama City. As a Wyndham Rewards member I was able to pre-register everything including our car from the email link they sent us ahead of time. We arrived at 2:15 and were instructed that registration would not open until 3 pm. No where to even park our car until then. There was no Wyndham Rewards reservation desk. We were told to wait in the very long line with the rest of the "mob" trying to register. They did not care that I pre-registered with their email link. After all of that frustration we were told at 4 pm that our room wasn't ready. Unbelievable. The bars all the time had long lines to get a drink. With the incredible number of people at the resort one bar service person could not handle the demand. Understandably, especially since the blender drinks were custom made. There were so many people at the resort that there was never an empty chair near any of the pools or even at the beach after 9 am in the morning. NEVER. Towels held every single chair by 9 am. Between the multitude of children in the pools and the incredible number of adults just wading, it literally was impossible to swim in any of the pools. They were nothing but "packed" wading pools. The smaller pool with a bar in the area of our room which was explained at check in to be a distinct benefit, was closed the entire time due to so called "chemical treatment". A fake reason not to keep it open.

Liked: Large well-maintained ocean faced resort. 6 open air restaurants and 1 inside restaurant. Land of plentiful food. Rooms and amenities are slightly outdated, but clean and of an excellent condition. Resort provides in-property transportation as well as an airport transfer. Disliked: Although there 6 restaurants, they all keep their menu unchanged. Also all restaurant has very short list of the fresh fruits and vegetables.

Overall a good resort, we enjoyed our stay and had lots of fun. One of the top resorts I’ve been to, and I have been to many. Pros: - Food was great, even at the buffets. Zero complaints when it comes to variety and taste. - The beach was beautiful. The beach front lined the whole resort. - We were in the All Inclusive Plus section and the room was very spacious and nice with a wonderful view of the ocean. - The resort was well maintained and clean. Cons: - Only 1 swim up bar and it is All Inclusive Plus ONLY. If you’re in regular all inclusive you will not have access to a swim up bar and you are not aloud to bring drinks in the other pools unless it’s a tumbler with a lid. - Hard to find a pool chair and/or chair at the beach, even in the All Inclusive Plus section. Everything was always occupied, especially the limited amount of shade covered seating. Other things to note are, there is very limited English speaking staff (Spanish) AND guests (Spanish and French mostly). This was ok for us, we seemed to find our way and communicate fine with some use of google translate lol. Lots of stairs and walking (big resort), this again was fine for us as well as the exercise was appreciated.

The check in process is not very efficient and some of the personnel are not service oriented. The pools are dirty, the hotel does not have enough towels and the internal logistics are not very efficient when experiencing issues. It is almost impossible to make reservations to the restaurants. The food is OK, but limited in terms of options.

Estar en este hotel ha sido la peor experiencia de mi vida. Primero llegue y reserve frente al mar y me entregaron en planta baja frente al jardín y lo peor me entregaron una habitación llena de humedad, moho, telarañas, fue horrible. Al pedir que me cambiaran de habitación me dijeron que no era posible y que tendría que esperar a la noche que una quedara vacía. A las 7 de la noche me entregaron una habitación, tuve que cambiarme en el bano mientras . La habitación nueva era completamente igual que la anterior, en planta baja y llena de moho aunque había reservado vista al mar , aun así ya por el cansancio que tenia decidí quedarme. Sali a cenar y me acosté a dormir , a las 2 de la madrugada el huésped de al lado ingreso a su recamara, borracho y al parecer drogado. Me pusieron en una habitacion compartida es decir con una puerta en el medio, el hombre casi me tumba la puerta a golpes, queria ingresar por mi balcon, les llame llorando porque tenia miedo y nadie me ayudo. les pedi irme y que me reembolsaran y me dijeron que no, les pedi cambio NUEVAMENTE de habitacion y me dijeron que no habia , osea que segun ellos tenia que quedarme en esa habitacion en peligro con ese hombre quien se encerro y por ningun motivo salio, apesar que llego la policia. Mi esposo se molesto y al fin logramos OTRO CAMBIO DE HABITACION, sin embargo me cambiaron a una super cerca de ese hombre, quien tampoco le pidieron salir del hotel.

No recomendaria ir a este lugar a NADIE. La peor experiencia desde el Check in. Trato segregacionista, demorado, las habitaciones viejas, sucias, aire acondicionados en mal estado. Comida mala y limitada en casi todos los restaurantes. Pagamos la opción "VIP" o "Plus" y en ningún momento nos sentimos bien tratados, no me imagino cómo es el servicio en la versión standard. No vayan, no pierdan tiempo ni dinero.

The overall experience of our two night stay was very good. All the staff and the evening entertainment teams, pools, beach & cleanliness were excellent. Our room location and surroundings were very nice. The only thing we found lacking was the bedroom was dated and the balcony patio door did not have a lock. However, our overall enjoyment of our experience was very good!

The grounds, pool and beach were lovely. We’ve stayed here numerous times over the past 10 years but the resort is not as well run as previous visits. Rooms are dated and worn - no repairs or renovations to the rooms in at least 10 years. Track for patio doors rusted out and extremely difficult to open. The 4 staff standing at each entrance to the buffet restaurant (doing nothing) do not enforce the rule of guests required to wear clothing and shoes in the restaurant. Bathing suits with no decent coverups and bare feet noted frequently. Buffet food was packed up 45 minutes before breakfast was over and a few times many food items ran out. Many staff were not very friendly and we felt a bit like they thought we were an inconvenience. However other staff were wonderful and friendly.

Excellent response time to call for transportation. Facility is on side of a hill, and if you need to go get your car at the central parking lot, you really need the transportation! Food and bar drinks were very good. Only thing we disliked was the thermostats in the rooms are "locked" and we could not adjust the temperature.

I didn't like that the sliding glass door with the ocean view was cloudy... It obstructed the ocean view until you open the door and leave it open

The grounds, pool and beach were lovely. We’ve stayed here numerous times over the past 10 years but the resort is not as well run as previous visits. Rooms are dated and worn - no repairs or renovations to the rooms in at least 10 years. Track for patio doors rusted out and extremely difficult to open. The 4 staff standing at each entrance to the buffet restaurant (doing nothing) do not enforce the rule of guests required to wear clothing and shoes in the restaurant. Bathing suits with no decent coverups and bare feet noted frequently. Buffet food was packed up 45 minutes before breakfast was over and a few times many food items ran out. Many staff were not very friendly and we felt a bit like they thought we were an inconvenience. However other staff were wonderful and friendly.

This is a beautiful location. Clean beaches and pools. Very pleasant and enjoyable during low season of July. The food is ok. Where to eat is sometimes confusing. Getting a reservation in the restaurants at night was nearly impossible. They really need to have a different system instead of getting up at 6 am on my vacation to make a reservation. There are rule boards but not for everything that is expected of a guest. However the staff was very kind when explaining rules we broke. The rooms need to be renovated. The hill can be difficult to climb for some.

Service
Service is inconsistent: long, disorganized check‑in lines and slow responses for towels or maintenance are common, and some staff come across as unhelpful with limited English. Others are friendly, and Plus guests sometimes report smoother check‑in.

It’s cheap resort. The worse check in ever, lot of people complaining, have to wait for almost 2h to get my room, nobody help in you, just horrible ! Internet was terrible! Couldn’t get WiFi most of the time. Food was cheap, reservation for dinner at any restaurant was limited, have to wake up at 7am to make it, ridiculous! Gym is super small and poor A/C No A/C at the restaurants, lobby, hot everywhere If you want to safe money, do it, but I wouldn’t come back, I won’t recommend it Prefer pay little bit more and get something decent

Todo fue espectacular, pero el check in fue una total basura, como siempre. Hablan de reglas que no comunican en ningun lado de sus páginas y tratan al cliente como si fuéramos ignorantes. En el bar el bartender trato a las personas de una forma despectiva solo porque no le piden las cosas como a ellos le enseñaron. Deben tener empatía con clientes y considerar que NO todos saben lo que van a pedir y preguntan para saber si prueban algo nuevo. Empatía es la palabra

We were a group of 3 couples, and we stayed in the Plus area. We were able to go to Lobby 3 for a quick check in, and were served a cold welcome drink right away. Our room was on the 2nd floor (no elevator for those that have limitations). Our room was lovely. It had two beds, and a smaller cot thing. We had a beautiful view of the ocean. Our room was clean, and we had no problems with the towels. The buffet (Pacifiko) had a wonderful variety and was very good. The first night, they were serving Mexican food and each night the food rotated to something different. There was always plenty of seating. The staff worked very hard and everything was kept clean. We ate at three of the other restaurants: Pannamai (Italian)--excellent; Cafe Med--excellent; and Cowboy Steak House--terrible steak, tough as shoe leather and I couldn't cut it even though I ordered medium rare. The adult swim up bar was excellent. I especially enjoyed talking with Lisbeth! The swim up bar was the only one that would let us have drinks in the pool. One problem is that every day we would go down around 7 am and all the chairs would already be saved with people putting their towels on them. In one of the lower pools, there was a group that hogged two cabanas and stacked all the upright chairs and tables inside these cabanas and stacked up several loungers as though they were the only people at the resort that might want to use them! The beach was beautiful! We had a wonderful stay

Your staff is horrible. Horrible wait to check in and now having to talk with orbitz to get refund because I was charged twice for my room. Check in took over 30 minutes, had to pay twice because they said my orbitz charge was pending just like every other credit card charge is pending when you pay something. Told me my orbitz charge would be canceled (it was not). Now charged twice and staff told me nothing they can do about that. Absolutely horrible service but that is par for the course in Panama as everybody from their airlines to resort have no sort of sense when it comes to customer service. Love Panama, hate the service so thanks for showing me even a resort like this that has the potential to be 5 stars can still find a way to mess that up. Absolutely 1 star

We spent three nights here. It was a long traffic filled drive from Panama City. As a Wyndham Rewards member I was able to pre-register everything including our car from the email link they sent us ahead of time. We arrived at 2:15 and were instructed that registration would not open until 3 pm. No where to even park our car until then. There was no Wyndham Rewards reservation desk. We were told to wait in the very long line with the rest of the "mob" trying to register. They did not care that I pre-registered with their email link. After all of that frustration we were told at 4 pm that our room wasn't ready. Unbelievable. The bars all the time had long lines to get a drink. With the incredible number of people at the resort one bar service person could not handle the demand. Understandably, especially since the blender drinks were custom made. There were so many people at the resort that there was never an empty chair near any of the pools or even at the beach after 9 am in the morning. NEVER. Towels held every single chair by 9 am. Between the multitude of children in the pools and the incredible number of adults just wading, it literally was impossible to swim in any of the pools. They were nothing but "packed" wading pools. The smaller pool with a bar in the area of our room which was explained at check in to be a distinct benefit, was closed the entire time due to so called "chemical treatment". A fake reason not to keep it open.

Check in demorado, não estão preparados para atender uma quantidade maior de clientes ao mesmo tempo, mesmo já pago, não encontraram a reserva, o que tornou mais demorado, equipe sem a menor simpatia. O local é lindo. As bebidas, após as 21h ou 22h, somente na discoteca (fora do hotel, péssimo atendimento). Local sem facilidade na acessibilidade. Muitas, mas muitas escadas. Bares dentro do resort fecham cedo.

We had a nice family stay and enjoyed the various pools and beach. The food was decent and the service was good. You need to book early if you want one of the restaurants (same day only), This was a nice way of changing up the dining format. The whole resort was very well maintained and in a beautiful spot. We also spent a nice morning at the quiet and deserted Playa Santa Clara which was a short drive away.

My family and friends recently stayed at Royal Decameron from December 30th - January 1st, 2023. We definitely enjoyed our stay. The plus - The property grounds were beautiful, the beach was glorious, and the overall service was good. Food selection and taste were adequate, but nothing to write home about. I loved the evening shows for kids, a little short, but good. The dance performance by the Royal Decameron dancers was great, it was very entertaining. The number of pools and lagoons I found appropriate for the resort. Plenty of lounge chairs, if you cared to reserve early by placing an article of clothing or towel on it. The minus - lack of organization regarding water sport equipment rental. Tough reservations were made one we still experience 25 to 30 minutes wait times due to oversold appointment slots or equipment maintenance. The furniture in the rooms is serviceable, but clearly outdated. Additional bed lines (blankets) cost extra, which I've never heard about. Lastly, we did not like that premium alcohol was limited to does with certain packages, without the opportunity for another guess with a lesser package to pay for it. I only drink certain kinds of top-shelf liquor and I hated being limited to unknown brands. Overall, I will still recommend this facility, but know that this is not a 4 star resort, but still a safe and fun place for families and couples to vacation.

Dining quality is inconsistent: some enjoyed good buffets and certain à la cartes, while others found food repetitive or mediocre, cocktails weak, and alcohol options limited. Securing dinner reservations often requires early‑morning booking, and several venues lack AC.

We enjoyed our stay, but not sure if we would pay the extra for the "plus" if we were to return. The pools and beach were spectacular, and the night time entertainment was okay (although for those not fluent in Spanish - be aware that there is no English!). The food was the worst part - the buffet's were okay but quite repetitive, and the a la cartes were disappointing - not to mention that one of our reservations was cancelled without us being told, and showed up to the restaurant to find it closed which was a bit annoying. The steakhouse was okay, nothing spectacular, and the Asian Corner was very bland. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but it could have been better! :)

Nos gustó la playa que estaba muy limpia y la arena era blanca y suave para sentarse y pasar un buen rato. Algunas veces la comida estaba bien. Con respecto al hotel necesitan mejorar las condiciones, las instalaciones están viejas y necesitan renovarse, el cuarto tenía una puerta que comunicaba al cuarto de al lado. La puerta era tan delgada que escuchabamos todo lo que decían los vecinos, técnicamente no teniamos privacidad en nuestra habitación. El personal de los restaurantes no tiene buenos modales. Las filas para conseguir un trago eran eternas y cuando lo conseguías estaba mal hecho. En resumen no fue una buena experiencia.

We were a group of 3 couples, and we stayed in the Plus area. We were able to go to Lobby 3 for a quick check in, and were served a cold welcome drink right away. Our room was on the 2nd floor (no elevator for those that have limitations). Our room was lovely. It had two beds, and a smaller cot thing. We had a beautiful view of the ocean. Our room was clean, and we had no problems with the towels. The buffet (Pacifiko) had a wonderful variety and was very good. The first night, they were serving Mexican food and each night the food rotated to something different. There was always plenty of seating. The staff worked very hard and everything was kept clean. We ate at three of the other restaurants: Pannamai (Italian)--excellent; Cafe Med--excellent; and Cowboy Steak House--terrible steak, tough as shoe leather and I couldn't cut it even though I ordered medium rare. The adult swim up bar was excellent. I especially enjoyed talking with Lisbeth! The swim up bar was the only one that would let us have drinks in the pool. One problem is that every day we would go down around 7 am and all the chairs would already be saved with people putting their towels on them. In one of the lower pools, there was a group that hogged two cabanas and stacked all the upright chairs and tables inside these cabanas and stacked up several loungers as though they were the only people at the resort that might want to use them!

The adult swim up bar was excellent. I especially enjoyed talking with Lisbeth! The swim up bar was the only one that would let us have drinks in the pool. One problem is that every day we would go down around 7 am and all the chairs would already be saved with people putting their towels on them. In one of the lower pools, there was a group that hogged two cabanas and stacked all the upright chairs and tables inside these cabanas and stacked up several loungers as though they were the only people at the resort that might want to use them! The beach was beautiful! We had a wonderful stay

Liked: Large well-maintained ocean faced resort. 6 open air restaurants and 1 inside restaurant. Land of plentiful food. Rooms and amenities are slightly outdated, but clean and of an excellent condition. Resort provides in-property transportation as well as an airport transfer. Disliked: Although there 6 restaurants, they all keep their menu unchanged. Also all restaurant has very short list of the fresh fruits and vegetables.

Overall a good resort, we enjoyed our stay and had lots of fun. One of the top resorts I’ve been to, and I have been to many. Pros: - Food was great, even at the buffets. Zero complaints when it comes to variety and taste. - The beach was beautiful. The beach front lined the whole resort. - We were in the All Inclusive Plus section and the room was very spacious and nice with a wonderful view of the ocean. - The resort was well maintained and clean. Cons: - Only 1 swim up bar and it is All Inclusive Plus ONLY. If you’re in regular all inclusive you will not have access to a swim up bar and you are not aloud to bring drinks in the other pools unless it’s a tumbler with a lid. - Hard to find a pool chair and/or chair at the beach, even in the All Inclusive Plus section. Everything was always occupied, especially the limited amount of shade covered seating. Other things to note are, there is very limited English speaking staff (Spanish) AND guests (Spanish and French mostly). This was ok for us, we seemed to find our way and communicate fine with some use of google translate lol. Lots of stairs and walking (big resort), this again was fine for us as well as the exercise was appreciated.

Overall, the property itself is nice, and it offers what you would generally expect from an all-inclusive resort. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by extremely poor customer service, particularly from the front desk and security staff. When we checked in, the hotel mistakenly gave us the wrong wristbands. The following day, security approached us and aggressively escorted us across the resort—while we were wet, and covered in sand—to the front desk because of their mistake. Instead of simply bringing us the correct wristbands or handling the issue professionally, they made us walk what felt like nearly a kilometer in the heat. There was no apology or consideration for the inconvenience they caused. Our checkout experience was even worse. We had accidentally left one pool towel in our room and informed the staff. Rather than contacting housekeeping to verify that the towel was in the room, the front desk agent was rude, dismissive, and insisted on charging us a $20 fee. Our transportation was already waiting, yet he made no effort to resolve the issue professionally. It seemed easier for him to charge us than to use his radio or phone to confirm the towel had been left in the room. I’ve worked in the hospitality industry, and I understand that mistakes happen. What matters is how they’re handled. In this case, the staff consistently lacked professionalism, courtesy, and basic customer service. I would strongly recommend spending your hard-earned money elsewhe

The place is very hot and very humid. The hotel doesn’t have infrastructure for this kind of weather. We struggle all the time trying to find some place that makes us feel more comfortable. Restaurants has not fans that really work for this weather. We are from Florida and we are adapted to hot temperatures. The restaurants need industrial ceiling fans no house ceiling fans. On the outside they need outdoor fans with mist and outdoor evaporative coolers. In the meantime prepare yourselves to drench sweat while eating or at any place. It is time to change room air conditioning, it doesn’t work very well.
