"Excellent location prior to boarding cruise! "

"I booked the top grade rooms with king sized beds. Instead, we were given rooms with two double beds each. No coffee maker nor kettle Our room had a bath but no plugs in either the bath nor the sink The shower gel, shampoo and conditioner dispensers were all empty The over bath shower water was cold. The air conditioning was excellent in that the room was baltic but we were unable to turn it down and so were really cold. A positive was that breakfast was both varied and plentiful and the staff were really lovely Overall I expected more for a booking that was expensive"

"Breakfast was great Fruit, juice, eggs and coconut bread Rooms were clean Staff were lovely Our car stayed safe parked on the street"

"I left in the middle of the night. No bathrooms. Too noisy Too many people knocking on random doors"

"Very limited - only had 1 bath towel and no hand towel or wash cloth? Not real clean and a few bugs. Staff did not speak English so that was a challenge. Location did make it easy to walk to stuff. Ok for price"

"Was alone most of the time, only person running the restaurant was around. Good food. Not really good beach, hard rocks underfoot in water. Town doesn’t have much to say for itself. But if you want tropical quiet then this is the place."

" I will never stay at this place again. There was not even a fitted sheet for the bed. Toilet don’t flush. No lamps. It was like surviving on a deserted island. I live in San Carlos Panama. My friend was visiting from the United States and does not have a great impression after sleeping in a bed that sunk in. The lock on my room broke and when I left to go to neighboring businesses my personal belongings were left unsecured. The lock was fixed the night before our departure. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. Money wasted. "

"This is not an apartment in Portobelo like the map indicates. It's a house about a mile outside of town and it's a bit rundown. The AC can't keep up with the heat and the entire house has a slight musty smell. I left 2 weeks ago and I still can't get the musty smell out of my CPAP machine. We left early after only 2 nights because the house was so hot and and uncomfortable. The host was great. Very friendly and responsive and he provided great information on local attractions, but he was unwilling to issue a refund for our early departure. "

"The views from this mountain-top boutique hotel are extraordinary."
