The owner will tell you this is a hotel where divers can relax.... If you're not a diver... forget it! I'm actually an experienced diver.. and had no inclination to dive from here whatsoever! The place is ok....the rooms are just ok... definitely nothing special... and definitely not worth the $50 per night. The food and drinks were overpriced...$2 for... More

After 5 days sailing from Colombia we arrived in Puerto Lindo. After checking trip advisor it seemed the best place to sleep and for some good food was the Hotel Octopus in the nearby town of Porto Belo (15km along the coast, $5 USD in taxi or bloke you ask on the street who has a car!). The rest of... More

I spent a total of 6 nights at Octopus Garden and received incredible service. Starting with Angel who responded very promptly to all of my inquiries, bookings, and finally, transport to and from Panama City airport and hotel. Tania, the hotel and restaurant manager, was fantastic! From asking what kind of music I liked, and then playing over their sound... More

As you drive up towards Portebelo the first place you will come to is this hotel. My advise to you is to keep driving and NOT TO STOP. It is disgusting. The rooms are dirty. The toilet didn't flush (we told Lina). The shower leaked. We were there for 3 nights and no one ever cleaned our room, caged our... More

It was pouring down rain and getting dark, so as we were driving to Portobelo we decided to find a hotel as quickly as we could. There it was - sitting on the highway and right on the water. We knew we would not find 5 star accommodations, but this delightful place was clean, clean, clean. Lina, our hostess, was... More

Avoid at all costs. Overpriced diving, drinks, room rates and bad food. Rooms have rotten window frames (lizards were coming in and out of my room), air con was either noisy or broken. The Wifi wasnt working and the hottub was out of action. More

Their nice website (one of the few in Panama) was my impetus to stay there. That plus it was in the right place (traveling from Panama City, on our way to stay at Isle Grande for 4 nights). Angel made 'points' with her email communications; also, the price was right. Although situated on a lovely cove on the water, with... More

This is a great deal with a perfect panama feel. Open air bar/resturuant overlooking the carribean right on the reef. Great sundeck and hamocks right over the ocean. A very relaxing getaway for any couple or family. The staff was amazing and very accomodating. Many of the other hotels in panama felt a little dangerous or unkept but this hotel... More

A unique setting (litterally on the water in Portobelo bay), a decent website (contrary to most Panamean hostels) but TERIBBLE rooms... Probably the dirtiest place I've been - and I had my lot of backpackers' hostels. That place is not even close to pretending being a "hotel", whatever their website might pretend. Nobody seemed to be in charge, nor to... More
