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.

I was pretty torn on this review... Pros: Room and grounds are clean. Staff is friendly and helpful (They even arranged for someone to pick us up from the hotel for a day trip to one of the islands). Check in and out was quick and easy. Probably the best you can find in Portobelo. Cons: Location! This is definitely a day trip location, everything you “think” you would want to see is within a two block radius. All surrounding area is sad and dirty. (And I am not at all pretentious, I have visited many countries, am adventurous and will look for the off the grid activities, road side food stands, but this was by far the most disappointing) ... the hotel itself has no water/beach access, is Very difficult to find, so don’t go by GPS as once you reach Portobelo you will be looking for streets that do not exist (more like sidewalks). Breakfast was okay. Take away for me was don’t stay in Portobelo, but if you must, stay in Casa Congo.

Had a great time here. Ibin, the manager, was helpful and set up a couple water taxi trips for snorkeling. Breakfast was good as well as dinner in the restaurant, although it is closed Mon & Tues. Very clean and comfortable.
