Fantastic staff and excellent diving.
Pros:

Super friendly and welcoming team, from management, to the dive staff, and the restaurant team, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The location is also unbeatable, steps from the water. Wake up, have breakfast overlooking the bay, and jump on the boat waiting to take you diving. Awesome experience!

Cons:

The accommodations were still in development but good enough to enjoy your time here.

A perfect, convenient hostel at Portobelo - ideal for diving and snorkeling
Pros:

The hotel is mainly devoted to diving, and as such, the installations are oriented to this purpose. There is a private boat, leaving just from the hotel´s dock and equipment (snorkels, tanks,) is first-class. Simple, yet very tasty home-cooked food is available at very reasonable price. The location is very close to the entrance of Portobelo and its historic ruins, at walking distance. Portobelo is a quiet, very interesting, genuine historic and fokfloric location, blessed by a wonderful sea. The hotel is being improved and refurbished, the rooms are still very simple, yet enough for an unformal stay. A great plus, the very single ATM existing in Portobelo can be found at less than 80 meters, and protected by the police station. Staff is very, very kind, and multingual. Highly recommendable.

Cons:

None, it fits perfect for the purpose, no luxury.

La Posada de Buzo
Pros:

The staff, including the owners, were exceptionally kind, friendly and accommodating. My friend needed a fridge for his medication and it was provided immediately. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. The location by the water was quiet. peaceful and breezy and plus it wasn't too far from Portobello proper.

Cons:

Unfortunately it was the rainy/wet season which I was unaware of (mid April to December) so we weren't able to go on the trips available but the the hotel was not to blame for this obviously.

Hotel or Diving School?
Pros:

Beautiful location only a few minutes drive from Portobello. Helpful hotel staff, restaurant onsite (closes at 6pm, very clean, nicely decorated.

Cons:

A diving school operates from the hotel and some of the instructors live on site. They have a poor attitude towards hotel guests. When we checked in we asked the hotel receptionist if we could use the communal kitchen to access a fridge and heat water, which we understood she agreed. In the morning while heating the water, we were confronted by one of the diving instructors who demanded we get out of this area, as it was for staff only. Her aggressive behaviour towards us was totally unnecessary and left us feeling humiliated. As a result we would not recommend a stay here unless you are diving. It is a shame as the hotel staff work hard but sadly their efforts are ruined by some of the instructors who seem to think the entire property belongs to them. I hope they show more empathy with their diving students
