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!

A Day in Paradise
I travel to Panama often and every time a stay in Portobelo is a must on my trip! This beautiful historical village, located on the Caribbean seashore is just a couple of hours away from Panama City, is a perfect getaway to nature and peace! I stay in Casa Congo every time when I go there! Great comfortable rooms, beautifully decorated with the works of the local artists, and an amazing view of the bay when you wake up! A picture 1000 words cannot describe! Friendly and efficient team with great hospitality and a great seafood restaurant with the best Puplpo I ate. A beautiful gallery on the ground floor presents local artists work. This time we were 3 people to celebrate our birthday so we booked the apartment in the other building - Casa Rayo Verde! Fully equipped and simply great! Highly recommended!

Pick the right room
I should have asked for a room facing the sea when I booked as myview of a wall was disappointing. Room was also too small for a chair or desk, but fine to sleep in, and stunning art on the walls and even in shower room.

Very friendly staff that helped carry our bags and allowed us in when we arrived at 9:45pm. Rayo Verde had a great breakfast for us each day, as well! It was hard to find accomodations with enough room for the 3x of us in the area, but this room was spacious and we were able to cook our meals in the kitcnen.

Simply Amazing Stay !
Our first impression was how amazing the view from our balcony was of the harbour and shipwrecks. We had our breakfast and dinner each of the 3 days and the food was simply delicious. The hosts spoke both English and Spanish. I highly recommend this location in Portobelo for all travellers.

Beautiful place to stay in a beautiful old city.
This place is just fantastic! All the employees were incredibly helpful & friendly, our room stayed nice and cool as a brief escape from the heat, and they make delicious margaritas at the bar. The city is also a really cool place to discover and if you enjoy pizza, visit Pizzeria La Negra.

Gorgeous Place
This hotel was absolutely wonderful! The aesthetic was spot on! My only two minor complaints are that we had to pay for parking and that the wifi is not unlimited. Not a deal breaker for us, but also not what we expected for the price.
