“Great views and location”
The view from the room directly on the sea and surroundings was exceptional. While I couldn't go scuba diving on this trip, the scuba facilities are very conveniently located with the accommodation. The room itself was rather budget style, though it had everything that is needed and a nice balcony to enjoy the views. The restaurant was also conveniently located below the room and the swimming pool and sea access were nice plusses.

We had an excellent stay at ScubaPortobelo. The staff were the best — friendly and willing to help. The breakfasts and meals were good. It rained a little, but we still enjoyed it. It's ideal for those who enjoy diving. Special thanks to Luzmilla, her sister, and the restaurant manager.

Great location right by the sea, with direct access to the water, although the seabed is not really suitable for swimming. There is a nice pool. Snorkeling services are available right on site, and they can also take you by boat to the nearby island.

“Relax at the sea”
Very quiet location, located directly at the see. Good place to go for peace of mind and relax from busy day to day life. Very friendly staff, always asking how you are doing.

“Reasonably good”
This is a nice place yet simple. It is far removed from big towns so you have to set your expectations. The man who runs the front desk / reception is fab. His name is Gi. My room was upstairs and quite pleasant. Comfy bed. No desk, no wardrobe or drawers. There was a small balcony. A/c, ceiling fan, hot water. One of the highlights is the food. Very nice - great cook. More expensive than the city but that is expected here.

“Quaint seaside resort”
We had a comfortable room over the restaurant area with a cute little balcony with stunning views. The sraff were amazing! So friendly, attentive and warm. Qurube greeted us by name and looked after all of our needs. The staff really seem to like each other and enjoy working together. It isn't fancy but the price is good, the bed was comfortable and our room was spotlessly clean.
