Guest Reviews
- Heyde Edith (10/5): - Super tranquilo, buena comida y cómodo...
- Alonso (2/5): - Mal servicio, nada de calidad al trato y cero empatía al ser uno extranjero que no conoce el lugar
- James (8/5): Nice location, fairly basic but overall good - The views are great, and the location is good. The cabins are rather basic and could do with some improvements and updating, but comfortable enough and overall I would recommend staying here.
- Matthew (8/5): - 👍
- Lizeth (6/5): - En las habitaciones falta un poco de mantenimiento especialmente en el baño. El techo presenta varias grietas, la ducha no funcionaba. Buen servicio al cliente
- Mercedes (4/5): - The only good thing is the view (nice balcony facing the sea). All the rest was bad and definitely not worth the price. Terrible welcome (the staff was angry coz you are not supposed to arrive after four... how could we know? They wanted to charge us a 10 dollar fine), our room was never cleaned, the working wi-fi was turned off in the evening, the water was barely warm - sometimes -. For a lower price I wouldn't complain, but we paid 60 dollars per night. NOT recommended.
- Michael (6/5): - I can't recommend this as a place to stay. I was the only person there in the off-season, and it took 15 minutes to find the person to check me in. They locked the main gate at around 10, and I had to check to make sure I didn't get locked out accidentally when I went out.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Das Scuba liegt schön direkt am Meer. Nach Portobelo selbst muss man jedoch ca eine 3/4 Stunde laufen oder ein Taxi/Bus nehmen. Das Hotel hat keinen Strand, aber man kann mit den Booten für 10 Dollar gefahren werden. Leider fehlte uns komplett die Gastfreundlichkeit.
- Rbryn (2/5): Extremely overvalued - Considering the place was empty, and other hotels were adjusting prices to fit demand, it was disappointing to find how overpriced this venue was. We weren't scuba aficionados, and other hotels in the area probably offered the same quality for a similar price, but we were paying the same price for a Junior suite in a 3.5 star hotel in Panama City. So, get up early and drive to Portobelo, but don't stay there.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Close to no beach - I give a 1 star water trckel zero pressure no hot water bed sucked
- YESSICA (8/5): Ubicación del hotel es buena - La ubicación del hotel es buena, la atención buena... Algunos detallitos que se minimizan con la belleza del mar y la tranquilidad...
- Verified traveler (8/5): Can't get any closer to the water. - Nothing fancy but a great location on the water if you are there for water activities or just to relax.
- James (2/5): THIS HOTEL SUCKED AND HOTELS.COM HAS DONE NOTHING - THIS PLACE WAS ABANDONED WHEN I ARRIVED AND I LEFT. I CALLED THE HOTELS.COM HELP LINE AND TOLD THEM NO ONE WAS AROUND WHEN I CHECKED IN. SOMEBODY SAID THEY WOULD REFUND MY MONEY!!! THE HOTEL SERVICE SUCKED AND SO FAR, HOTELS.COM SERVICE HAS SUCKED!!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Paradise looks better in photos - Porto Belo is an scenic but rather poor place on the Caribbean. It is known for 2 ruined forts. We had hoped to see birds. The place was hard to find in the dark. It was out of town like the other resorts. I am sure divers like this place when the restaurant is open. Photos are a bit deceptive.
- Scott (6/5): right on the water - quirky little place right on the water. Staff was nice but mostly absent. No office. No check in. No check out. Just the boat driver available and most of the time he can't be found.. He's a nice guy, but don't look to get any questions answered.. even in Spanish. Watch out for the showers... the electric hot water heating system attached to the shower head can electrocute you.
- Petra (4/5): Überteuert ! - Karte von Hotels.com stimmt nicht. Die Unterkunft befindet sich ca.3km vor Portobelo. Wenn du nicht tauchst, geh nicht dahin.
- Terence (4/5): Not really worth the effort!! - This hotel says it is in the town of Portobello, but is really about 3 miles or so out of town. Without a car, it was difficult to get around.....one time a taxi driver scammed us and when I told him where to go; he got a police officer involved to complete the scam. The Spanish Colonial ruins are interesting, but other than that, avoid Portobello. There is nothing going on there, but poverty......and most restuarants closed during the week.
- Pierre (6/5): Huge potential - I booked this hotel based an erroneous map location as in Portobelo vs. 4 kilometers outside town. However, the location is gorgeous and a taxi costs $2 or a 30 minute walk. Rooms are adequate but not secure. Service is spotty.
- Manuel Edgardo (8/5): Paraíso tropical - Ideal para el submarinismo y snorker. Cuenta con una isla paradisiaca con aguas cálidas y sin oleaje. El personal es atento. La playa es una enorme piscina cálida.
- francois (8/5): pas satisfaisant - difficile à trouver mal situé sur la carte chambre sans atout pas de chaise pas de table de nuit pas de lampe de chevet ,une seule prise électrique dans la salle de bains confort médiocre fermeture des portes à 20heures il m'a fallu crier et taper parking sur le bord de la route petit déjeuner pitoyable facturation a 5$ par tète bien sur sans facture.Dommage car belle situation au bord de l'eau calme et assez jolie comme sur les photos.
