Hundreds deported from US held in Panama City hotel after arriving on three flights last week .

They are being held at the Decápolis Hotel , a luxury hotel with sea views, swimming pool, spa and private transportation.

Of the 299 deportees, only 171 have agreed to return to their countries of origin.

Panamanian government says they will remain in temporary custody for their protection.

Panama agreed to be a "bridge" country for deportations after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited the country as tensions simmered over Trump 's threats to "recover" sovereignty of the Panama Canal .

Ábrego said the migrants were being housed in the Decápolis Hotel because of its capacity to receive them.
