    We rented a private bungalow. It was clean, but not really about comfort — there was no hot water, no safe, and no refrigerator.

    Great location right by the sea, with direct access to the water, although the seabed is not really suitable for swimming. There is a nice pool. Snorkeling services are available right on site, and they can also take you by boat to the nearby island.

    The only thing I noticed was that the door lock was a bit hard to lock, I feel like the doors need a little more security.

    The property was clean the bed was comfortable, the view was beautiful and the environment was smooth and relaxed. The lady that check us in Miss Luzmila was helpful cordial and friendly. We definitely recommend and will be back soon 😃

    Not much within walking distance.

    Luzmila and the rest of the staff were fabulous! My friend who doesn’t speak much Spanish wasn’t feeling so well, and they took such good care of her! We had a “chalet” or cabin on the waterfront with incredible views and a great hammock. Beds were comfortable. Clean. Food was good. Taxi to town at $1.50 - $4.

    -Rooms could have been little larger. -Without car little difficult to roam around as accomodation is outta city. -Next Supermarket is few kms away.

    Nice accomodation directly on the water. Queit place where you could listen to waves and go scuba diving. Staff is helping.

    Not sure about where you would get food there as sometimes nobody around.

    Great location beautiful views over the sea and fab sunsets. Nice swimming pool as well. Some issues with hot water and tv but staff came to fix them. Very friendly. We were not there to scuba dive so cannot comment on that part. A little way up the the road to Portabelo we hired our own boat and pilot took us to beaches to snorkel which was great.

    This was a very special place to stay for our time in Portobelo. The staff were all very nice. The room was clean and comfy with a nice little balcony. And the grounds are very beautiful with a nice little pool! We also booked a snorkeling trip for one of the mornings. Matias and Carlos were great and we saw some beautiful fish and coral! We had two dinners and one breakfast during our stay and it was all delicious! The cook came in on the second night just for us - which was above and beyond!

    Rooms in need of a fix and update. Had to tell staff that there was no water. They did fix it, but based on previous reviews, this is a chronic problem that needs to be addressed.

    Location excellent.

    That we have to wait till almost 8 for a coffee, it would be nice to have a electric kettle somewhere available, and in such a hot climate also a fridge somewhere at hand of guests to keep cool water or beverages.

    We loved everything about it, but what it made us feel at home it was the very kind care of the sisters in charge, Cherub and Luz. Than you

    We had intermittent problems with the water in the room but the staff attended to it immediately.

    We had a comfortable room over the restaurant area with a cute little balcony with stunning views. The sraff were amazing! So friendly, attentive and warm. Qurube greeted us by name and looked after all of our needs. The staff really seem to like each other and enjoy working together. It isn't fancy but the price is good, the bed was comfortable and our room was spotlessly clean.
