Poor condition. We left a night earlier.

The overall cleanliness and maintenance of the place and vicinity was very poor. We left a night early because of that. Also the restaurant closed after 3:00PM Sunday, so no place to have diner. The towels were all stained. The structure did not feel safe either, with a steel reinforcement and a notable inclination is the structure. Low water slow on the shower. Main door was misaligned therefore the latch would not work.

Recomiendo Casa Congo. Nos quedamos una familia de 4, y nos gustó el amplio espacio ofrecido por dos habitaciones y una sala de estar. La ubicación fue muy buena, con balcón frente al mar. También valoramos que pudimos abrir las ventanas durante la noche debido a que hubo un corte general de luz y no funcionaba el A/C. La atención por parte de Jorge fue muy buena.

Beautiful spot in Portobelo!

Clean beautiful room overlooking the bay. Towels and sheets were clean and comfortable. A small kitchen provided everything we needed. We loved the hammock! Staff was excellent and answered all of my questions ahead of time and made sure we could find parking from the main road. Thank you!

The person who checked us in was very cordial and professional. We loved the art gallery, lunch, dinner and the karaoke. A very relaxing place by the sea. The only issue is some other guests that stayed up late talking and listening to music a bit louder than it should have been The manager was very quick to explain to them that there were other guests so they turned down the music. The room was quite nice, spacious and very clean. We will definitely return!

Lovely chilled place

Really lovely view from our room. We just had the basic room but it was perfect for us. Aircon! A basic but well prepared breakfast was included. Had a stingray cruising in front of our outside space for a few hours which was great.

Nothing unique, the options in Portobelo are limited, so you have to pay a bit more for a standard accommodation. The power went out during the night, so we did not have AC until early morning. The breakfast service was good but when I asked if I could top off my small cooler with a bucket of ice, they said no it costs $2. Really? it's not the $ it's the principle. The power went off! Did I get a refund? No. The parking is tight here and it took 30 minutes from arrival to finish check-in process. Oh, we heard the closest beach costs $50 for a group, so we drove to another public location and parked for $5. The beach was crowded and dirty so we stayed for 2 hours and left before the traffic became a problem (Sunday). The Panama Canal museum in Colon was a side trip worth taking!
