We had a couple of nights in Panama after a trip to the San Blas islands and decided to stay in Portobelo. Casa Congo was super receptive as our dates had changed unexpectedly, and they resolved all issues before we arrived. The accommodation was overlooking a peaceful bay and the room was excellent, hot shower, air con and a comfy bed. The staff are super helpful and they have lots of activities which can be booked through their reception. We took a boat trip to a nearby beach, which also went through some amazing mangroves. We set the pickup time with the boat driver and we spent the whole day enjoying the pristine beach.
If you are a person who like to check details casa congo is one of them. More than a hotel. They share with arts their culture and the more important; The arts were made from people who live in portobelo. And adittion to that the food is delicious.
Great hotel with friendly staff in the heart of Portobelo. Be sure to check out their art gallery downstairs filled with local artists. The history of the Congolese culture is so rich here in this part of Panama and I loved learning about it. The room was very cute and clean and had an incredible view — see photos! Thanks Casa Congo!
