Lovely chilled place
Really lovely view from our room. We just had the basic room but it was perfect for us. Aircon! A basic but well prepared breakfast was included. Had a stingray cruising in front of our outside space for a few hours which was great.

Poor condition. We left a night earlier.
The overall cleanliness and maintenance of the place and vicinity was very poor. We left a night early because of that. Also the restaurant closed after 3:00PM Sunday, so no place to have diner. The towels were all stained. The structure did not feel safe either, with a steel reinforcement and a notable inclination is the structure. Low water slow on the shower. Main door was misaligned therefore the latch would not work.

The person who checked us in was very cordial and professional. We loved the art gallery, lunch, dinner and the karaoke. A very relaxing place by the sea. The only issue is some other guests that stayed up late talking and listening to music a bit louder than it should have been The manager was very quick to explain to them that there were other guests so they turned down the music. The room was quite nice, spacious and very clean. We will definitely return!

Tienes que caminar con tu equipaje en la calle, no puedes acercar tu vehículo y además dejarlo en la calle retirado o pagar una cuota, no te dan agua para beber todo te cuesta a precio de Hotel de lujo y es una casa improvisada muy regular. Desagradable experiencia en Rayo Verde. Desayuno pobre. Se anuncia con un precio bajo y ese corresponde a una habitación básica, tuvimos que pagar más del doble pagado a Expedia para obtener una habitación decente, lo único que vale la pena ahí es el lugar del mar que tiene vistas preciosas.

Very friendly staff that helped carry our bags and allowed us in when we arrived at 9:45pm. Rayo Verde had a great breakfast for us each day, as well! It was hard to find accomodations with enough room for the 3x of us in the area, but this room was spacious and we were able to cook our meals in the kitcnen.

Pick the right room
I should have asked for a room facing the sea when I booked as myview of a wall was disappointing. Room was also too small for a chair or desk, but fine to sleep in, and stunning art on the walls and even in shower room.

A Day in Paradise
I travel to Panama often and every time a stay in Portobelo is a must on my trip! This beautiful historical village, located on the Caribbean seashore is just a couple of hours away from Panama City, is a perfect getaway to nature and peace! I stay in Casa Congo every time when I go there! Great comfortable rooms, beautifully decorated with the works of the local artists, and an amazing view of the bay when you wake up! A picture 1000 words cannot describe! Friendly and efficient team with great hospitality and a great seafood restaurant with the best Puplpo I ate. A beautiful gallery on the ground floor presents local artists work. This time we were 3 people to celebrate our birthday so we booked the apartment in the other building - Casa Rayo Verde! Fully equipped and simply great!
Highly recommended!
