Villor i Mechi

“Very nice place next to the bay. Great service and good food. Note that the terracce can be shared with other guests from neighboring rooms. If you are lucky you get a quiet french couple playng cards, if you are unliucky you may get a spanish couple “working from home without headphones on zoom….”

“Unfortunately never found the hotel as the map locator was 15 miles away. Looked for an hour on the map locator and couldn't find. Hopefully they fixed it now. DO NOT GO TO PORTOBELO village to find this hotel. Maps wrong.”

“This is not an apartment in Portobelo like the map indicates. It's a house about a mile outside of town and it's a bit rundown. The AC can't keep up with the heat and the entire house has a slight musty smell. I left 2 weeks ago and I still can't get the musty smell out of my CPAP machine. We left early after only 2 nights because the house was so hot and and uncomfortable. The host was great. Very friendly and responsive and he provided great information on local attractions, but he was...

“No hay agua caliente muy susio y el aire no bueno”
