Hotel Portobelo

Hotel Portobelo

10/10 Excellent
"We did a 4 night stay at this hotel and can confidently say we would stay again. All staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. From storing our luggage prior to our check in and after check out, to providing ice for our water bottles. The rooms were modern and very clean. The lobby is very nice and clean as well. My only suggestion to the hotel would be to install a mini fridge in the rooms, it would have been nice to have one. Five star stay over all."
