La ubicacion justo con vista al mar es preciosa. La atención es bastante buena.
la habitacion contaba con una escalera de caracol para subir a la habitación super complicada e incomoda para usar. No hay personal 24 horas, lo cual complica la comunicación si necesitas una urgencia mover tu carro del estacionamiento.

Portobelo is a wonderful bay with a lot of history back to the arrival of spaniards in the 1,500s . The reception upgraded the room and gave us an apartment with a beautiful view of the bay. The staff was very friendly. Casa Congo has a local art exhibition area that funds the town improvement works, provides internet to children, and other needs of the community, etc. We noticed that the old Customs Building is being renovated and will soon reopen as a museum of the history of Portobelo..
Portobelo is an inpoverished town but relatively safe.

The view from the Terrace of the room and restaurant is very nice. very friendly staff.
we were placed in a very small room with almost no privacy. there is a huge space below the entrance door and neighbours can be heard all the time. the room was small and the bed too. there was almost no space to place anything. it might be a good accommodation for Portobello’s standards but to us it was disappointing except for the quietness of the environment and the spectacular views. not good value for money cause that’s a 45$ room and not a 90$ room.

Everything from start to finish was great. The host was welcoming, and the beds were comfortable. Wi fi was ok , slightly patchy in some areas. We were offered an upgrade for free. Breakfast was simple but fresh. The location is central.
Water pressure could be better.

Portobelo is a very unique and special place and this must be among the very best spots to be staying. We had a modern and clean room, friendly service and delicious food at their restaurant and could walk everywhere we needed to be. Wonderful local art is displayed around the property and in the rooms, as we ended up purchasing a painting that was on display right in our room.

Every time that I travel to Panama I go to Portobelo! it is my favorite location. a magical village loaded with just located on the most beautiful bay that I know on the ruins of a Spanish fortress with the unique church of Christo Negro. I always stay in Casa Congo , a beautiful gallery that presents the works of the local artists the village with amazing guest rooms on the Top floor with a front see view , good restaurant almost touching the water and welcoming and friendly team! I take the king or the queen rooms. Just to wake up there in the morning to the amazing view of the Pirate Bay makes my day!

We loved Portobelo mostly due to our stay at Casa Congo and the amazing bay views. Hotel staff was superb and provided us with the best experience (meals, tours, etc). The restaurant has amazing views to the Portobelo bay. We've always had dinner in the hotel restaurant. After the restaurant closes (8-9pm) guests can use the area to relax. Hotel staff organized our tours very professionally and at a fair price. We will be back!
Car park and access to the hotel can be a bit confusing. Portobelo is not cheap but it is worth it

Very clean room, very kind staff, beautiful art gallery with artwork around the property. Best mojitos in Panama!!
The mattress wasn’t the softest but at least the pillows were comfy

Lovely place, lovely people, in the middle of Portobelo. The city is vibrant. The location of the hotel is right on the water (our King room had a balcony with a hammock and some chairs) and between the two local forts.
Breakfast is mediocre. The fruit was nice, but Toast or maize cakes with eggs, no frills. Some jam or honey would be nice. Maybe some salsa.
The biggest issue was out of control of the establishment: the people nextdoor had very very loud music until 3 am. I had wax earplugs and could still hear every word. At midnight there was some caterwauling: human singalongs. Apparently loud music until the roosters crow is a thing here. But it meant I didnt get to enjoy the lovely bed and comfy room.
