Strandhotels in Portobelo

'I made reservations the night before at 5:50 pm and when I tried calling the front desk after 6:00 NO ONE picked up. I called from 5:50 pm until 11 pm and no one picked up.

Someone called the next day after 10 am! It was too late. It took a while but I got refunded.'

Das ganze Personal ist unglaublich freundlich. Für ein paar entspannte Tage genau die richtige Umgebung.'

'The resort was outstanding. It exceeded expectations in every way. The service was the best we had in Panama. The cocktails were fun and the food was delicious and they have a vegan menu. We stayed in a king room and it was very private, pristine and well appointed.'
