Grand Decameron Los Cabos (formerly Royal Decameron Los Cabos) is the budget play in a destination that mostly doesn't have one. Los Cabos all-inclusives skew expensive, and this 153-room Trademark-branded property in San Jose del Cabo exists for travelers who want Cabo sunshine, a clean pool and an all-inclusive wristband without the premium price. Reviews land in the middle of the local field, which is about right for the price point, with guests calling it a nice little budget resort and the best value in the area. Don't confuse it with the Grand Decameron Complex in Bucerias near Puerto Vallarta, an entirely different and much larger property.
The practical experience is warm people and a lean but fuller package than its reputation suggests. Staff are what guests rave about, and the three pools, including an adults-only one, are well laid out and consistently clean. The rate covers Wi-Fi, the room safe and room service, the Beach Lounge brings service down to the shore, and the evenings run on rotating nightly entertainment followed by a disco with DJs until 2am. The bars, among them the Pool Bar, Lobby Bar, Bar Sanssousi and the Disco Bar, run from 9am to 2am. Where it stays lean is dining and daytime: there is just the El Mercado buffet, which gets repetitive and often arrives barely warm, and Luna, a Mediterranean a la carte with a short menu that is at least easy to book. Daytime activities beyond bingo, beach volleyball and the newer yoga and pilates classes are thin. Rooms are kept clean, though the decor is dated, the minibar comes empty and the mattresses draw repeated complaints.
This resort makes sense for self-sufficient travelers: couples and low-key families who plan to spend days at the pool or out on excursions and care more about price than polish. The quiet San Jose del Cabo location is a real plus for that crowd. The town's art district and Thursday Art Walk are nearby, a dolphin center sits a few steps away (extra cost), a golf course is about seven minutes off with guest rates, whale watching runs December through April, and Cabo San Lucas is a 30-40 minute ride when you want it. If you need deep dining variety or a plush room, spend up for one of the corridor's bigger resorts; if you want the cheapest reasonable way to do all-inclusive Cabo with friendly people, this is a defensible pick.
Pros
- +One of the few genuinely budget-friendly all-inclusives in Los Cabos, a destination where most properties price at a steep premium
- +Small 153-room scale in two three-storey towers (Torre San Jose with 72 rooms, Torre San Lucas with 81) keeps the property uncrowded and easy to get around
- +Staff hospitality is the consistent standout in 2026 reviews, with day-to-day staff described as kind and genuinely responsive
- +Three pools including an adults-only pool, kept consistently clean, plus a Beach Lounge where the all-inclusive service follows you down to the sand
- +More to do after dark than the price suggests: nightly entertainment on a rotating schedule and a disco with DJs that runs from 11pm to 2am, all included
- +Wi-Fi, the in-room safe, room service, beach volleyball and newly added yoga and pilates classes are all part of the rate
- +Reservations at Luna, the Mediterranean a la carte restaurant, are easy to get, with no dawn queue at a reservations desk like at the big mega-resorts
- +Quiet San Jose del Cabo location on the Sea of Cortez, well away from the Cabo San Lucas party scene, with the town's art district a short ride away
Cons
- −Lean on extras: the in-room minibar is an empty fridge for your own use, and guests report fetching their own drinks at the pool even though the beach lounge has table service
- −Daytime programming feels thin to many guests, with bingo and beach volleyball the main fixtures, so plan on excursions if you like a busy schedule
- −Dining is limited to two venues, the El Mercado buffet and Luna, and the buffet gets repetitive fast with food often arriving barely warm
- −Decor and facilities are dated and the property needs TLC; the gym in particular draws complaints about its upkeep
- −Uncomfortable mattresses come up repeatedly in reviews, and some guests resorted to buying mattress pads after the first night
- −Reviews land in the middle of the San Jose del Cabo pack: guests value it for price rather than polish, so set expectations accordingly
- −Like most of the Los Cabos coast, the ocean in front of the resort demands caution, so plan on the pools as your main swimming option
