Guest reviews for Royal Decameron Panama All Inclusive

Everyone (2) Couples (1)
2 out of 5
This is like a cruise ship on land. Subpar unlimited food and drinks but without the great customer service I have experienced in cruise ships. The actual resort room and facilities were clean but the beach was not. This beach side resort gives out plastic straws to guests with every drink and you end up finding most of these plastic straws in the sand and eventually in the beach. This is extremely disappointing considering its 2019 and everyone knows the harm this causes. Further, staff friendliness was hit or miss, you had some really friendly people and then some straight up "comemierdas" i.e. stuck up staff. For the price, I highly do NOT recommend staying here and would not stay here again even if they offered it for free. Go stay at El Valle or somewhere nice and relaxing for half the price.

Super, we enjoyed every day. Food was excellent, great selection of fresh fruits, salads, meats, fish. Service was excellent, the staff reminded us of "ants"in a colony making sure everyone was taken care off. They were always smiling. Evening activities were excellent, we enjoyed the movies, and the shows. We did not visit the casino not the discotheque at late night (after 11 pm); we had full days so we needed to rest.

Disappointing Experience

Pros: Pools are big and beautiful, rooms are plenty of space.
Cons: Food quality could be better, tematic, Pacifica and Atlantis restaurants have opportunity to improve.
Location: We explore a bit nearby (Coronado and Penonome) unfortunately there not much to do.
Royal Decameron Panama facility is plenty of stairs to go to pool, restaurants or beach only few rooms are located at same level of beach and recreational areas. Hotel staff is friendly and welcoming even though there are many activities you can not do it in All Inclusive hotel as an example you can not carry snacks to the beach or pools. Food quality could be better, tematic restaurants have opportunity to improve. Hotel vans and cars run at high speed in roads full of adults and kids walking around, beware of any hotel client accident. My comments are based on five days stay during february 2018 with a five people group.

horray panama

the most emaculate grounds of any resort - the trees and gardens were all perfectly manicured! as well as the beach with the thached huts were amazingly teriffic! we were concerned about the rain but it just rained on the way there back; otherwise we enjoyed 3days of perfect sunshine! everything was very well laid out with the pools, bars, and resturants - enough room for eveyone, never felt crowded and always had what you wanted near by! the water sports (ask for denis) were great - went on an awesome deep sea fishing, parasailing, and jetskiing without a hitch! drinks were flowing freely and casino was small but lots of fun. cute authentic market just down the road! we were a little worried because the only a/c was a small room unit - but it was more than sufficent - didn't even have it on most of the time! only caution would be the bathroom was that of 3 star resort (slightly dirty, don't use the shampoo/conditioner/soap) and everything else was def 5stars! advise taking the shuttle from the airport - driving a rental car was scary!

Not what it's made out to be.

Stayed here Aug. 2010. Out in the boonies. Two hours from the Capital. To far from anything interesting to do. Food was tasteless and not comforting. The staff could care less about the guests, just doing their job and nothing more. If your idea of fun is eating without any taste and laying in the beach. I guess this would be wonderful for you. Will not stay here again. Will not recommended and stay in the capital where you have more options to do things.

Hotel stay

The checking process was very slow,we got there after 3 p.m after a long drive and the room were not ready. The beds in the new building are better than the old ones, they could had more choices of the king bed, because the double beds are very small. I had to move because the A/C in my room was not working but they were very apologetic about it. Beside all that it's a nice place to stay, plenty of thinks to do, beautiful beach, good food, could used a little improvement in the disco, the karaoke should be out.

Awesome Vacation

We went in February and it was the best vacation. The hotel had pools and restaurants all over the place. It would be a perfect location for a family vacation. We had good meals at most of the restaurants and the rooms were just fine.

What a wonderful resort

My girlfriends and I just came back from Panama we stayed at the Royal Decameron for 2 nights. We wish we had stayed there the entire week we were in Panama. The staff were extremely friendly and most did their best to assist you even if you did not speak spanish. The food was fantastic and the rooms were very spacious and clean. There is a lot of walking but if you prefer they have a shuttle service that will take you wherever you want to go. I will definitely be returning.. Fantastic for the entire family or a romantic getaway or just hanging out with friends.
