Portobelo Hotels

We had an excellent stay at Scuba Portobelo! It's right on the ocean, you can snorkel right off the dock. There was a nice small pool, very quiet and relaxing.

Excellent place to stay, very beautiful amd quiet place, friendly people. Cash only from our experience, little pool. No English, tours available. Can snorkel right out your front door.

Water is hot; A/C is cold; sheets are clean and comfy; views down upon the bay are wonderful; food is cheap and delicious.

Great hotel. Staff is super friendly and attentive.

We did the Discover Scuba Diving session and could not have picked a better place and people to do it with. Excellent communication beforehand with Alvaro and his wife.

Absolutely amazing experience.

A heartfelt thank you to Su and Benjamin for their incredibly warm welcome. My stay was a true immersion into the vibrant Panamanian culture—from the dance and cuisine to the peacefulness of fishing.

Simple dorm with a bathroom, nice common area with a kitchen, a bar and space to hang out, many hammocks and direct view into the woods.
I had an excellent time.

Great food and the staff are very friendly!

Staying at El Otro Lado Portobelo with my family was unforgettable — breathtaking views, delicious food, and one-of-a-kind tours and activities that brought us closer to nature and culture.

An unforgettable stay! The perfect mix of nature, art, and serenity. Every detail was crafted with love—El Otro Lado truly feels like a magical escape.

Clean, but small bachelor apartment: one room for bed, kitchen and table. Separate bathroom and shower.

I stayed here one night and had the chance to talk with the owner, who works very closely with the community and runs a non-profit (La Escuelita del Ritmo), providing free music lessons to youth in

If you're planning to visit Panama and love the jungle, nature, and wildlife, this place is a must-see!

Seriously, if you are going to be in the area, just book this hotel! Fabienne and Franck are fantastic hosts. The place is great and the cuisine is top notch.

I had a beautiful room with a little patio right on the beach. Plain room but very clean with a comfortable bed.
