  DON’T STAY HERE

  19 Oct 2019

  If you stay here just know that the people who work in the hotel will steal from your room while you are having breakfast! Also if you pick the half board they will not honor that..... this place is horrible hotelesportobelo, Director General at Portobelo Boulevard, responded to this review Caroline Good AfternoonWe hope this find you very well.We understand that we could probably have some procedures we have to improve like any hotel or accomodation property in the world. But "Steal" is a big accusation specially when you did it in this escenarios.We are very sorry that we have not met your expectations, we will take into consideration, because for us is very important the guest experience. Have a nice day.Portobelo Hotel's Team

  Don't bother

  22 Feb 2016

  Place was pretty dirty, no in room wifi, and the lock on the door was a joke. Got stuck in a room in the back with essentially no window. This place Might be okay if you get a room with a balcony and sea view which we thought we had booked, but definitely not worth the price without that. We left immediately and went next door and got a far better room for way less in the much cleaner and more secure Caribbean Island hotel.

  Mixed emotions, dirty but great location

  12 Mar 2015

  We stayed here for 2 nights last week and this is not the hotel pictured on the photos you can see up there. The photo you can see with the tables outside is the Portobelo (the main one with the restaurant), then there is the Portobelo plaza around a corner and the Junior which is above a subway along the sea front. We arrived at the Portobelo with the restaurant after seeing these photos and were directed away.The pros: big room, 3 beds, fridge, amazing balcony with sea view. The breakfast was good and plentiful and eaten in the main Portobelo one (with the restaurant)The cons: after unpacking we realised the hot water didn't work so we had to change rooms which was a pain but OK, apart from the fact that the clener was sent it to clean the room while we were still moving our stuff to the other room, I wasn't very happy about that for safety issues, and just generally not having a few moments to do it privately. The rooms were both dirty with stuff on the floor, hairs in the shower and pubes on the toilet. The walls were in a bad state and there was a big squished spider in the middle of one. Not a lot of attention to detail. Also the wifi only works in the lobby which is quite useless. Also we were assured there would be a safe, which there was, but since we had to move rooms, we were instructed to literally pick up the safe and move it. OK it was pretty heavy, but certainly not steal-proof since anyone can walk out with it. Very strange.Basically you are paying for location here and it's even better if you get a sea view room like we were lucky to get. I wouldn't say I wouldn't stay here again because everything is pretty expensive on this island, but I think a little cleaning would go a long way!

  Good hotel near the public beach

  10 Aug 2014

  The hotel is really simple, nothing fancy. It has everything you need, including a wifi in the lobby. It is really quiet and only a few blocks from the public beach. We didn't have hot water, but it's not that you need it in San Andres. The room is confortable.

  Beach front .... at a price....

  11 Feb 2013

  Convenient location if you come for a beach vacation, but not the most up to date place as furniture, walls and the like begin to age. Air conditioning is rather noisy while wifi would be a great addition for travelers....Rather expensive, but you are on a paradise island.....
