    It met all of our expectations 😊

    Jorge, our host was very helpful and hospitable. The boat ride to Playa Blanca was beautiful. The beach itself was nice and 3 friendly pups made our visit more enjoyable. The artist were working when we were there and their paintings, photographs and masks were beautiful. A unique place to stay in Portobelo.

    Rooms are on the snug side.

    The Hotel is in the middle of town but very quiet despite that we went for carnivals, the staff is very friendly and the food at the restaurant is very tasty. Our room was very clean and comfortable but small, the views and the outside hammocks were great for relaxation.

    Nice hotel and restaurant on the water in Portobelo. And Mai was so helpful with information and arranging a tour for me. It's the place I would go back to there.

    Hard to find for us! We had a rental car and got lost a few times trying to access the road the hotel is on. We could see where the hotel was on the map, but the directions kept leading us there via narrow alleyways that were just walking paths.

    Really lovely spot on the water. Quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was great.

    The parking lot is maybe half a block from the property, which is understandable, but wasn't clearly communicated prior to arrival and added some stress navigating the tiny coastal town streets at dusk following instructions over the phone. Hot water didn't work for our first day, but Emily got with the maintenance staff and they had it fixed for our second and third days.

    The room was very comfortable and the view is the best along the waterfront of the whole town. Breakfast is simple, but tasty. Most of the staff doesn't speak English, but all are friendly and will do their best to help. Emily was the main point of contact via WhatsApp prior to arrival and was very friendly and accommodating with discussing what we'd like to do/see and connecting us with local boats/guides. The hammock and attachment points on the private balcony/porch are a wonderful touch.
