Loved our stay! The hotel is clean, the food is really good, and the staff is amazing. It’s not fancy, but very cozy and comfortable. The fishing activities were fun and perfect for the whole family. We visited as a family of four with a 7-year-old and a teenager, and everyone had a great time. Special thanks to Lucy, Armando, Batman, and Ileana for their kindness and for making us feel so welcome. We truly enjoyed every moment!

Really lovely view from our room. We just had the basic room but it was perfect for us. Aircon! A basic but well prepared breakfast was included. Had a stingray cruising in front of our outside space for a few hours which was great.

The person who checked us in was very cordial and professional. We loved the art gallery, lunch, dinner and the karaoke. A very relaxing place by the sea. The only issue is some other guests that stayed up late talking and listening to music a bit louder than it should have been The manager was very quick to explain to them that there were other guests so they turned down the music. The room was quite nice, spacious and very clean. We will definitely return!

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!

Verified traveler

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Poor condition. We left a night earlier.

The overall cleanliness and maintenance of the place and vicinity was very poor. We left a night early because of that. Also the restaurant closed after 3:00PM Sunday, so no place to have diner. The towels were all stained. The structure did not feel safe either, with a steel reinforcement and a notable inclination is the structure. Low water slow on the shower. Main door was misaligned therefore the latch would not work.
