Chose this hotel particularly for its value for money and a big plus that it does not allow children under 16 - this was the biggest bonus as all you could hear around the pool area was the turning of book pages and the sweet clink of ice in your drinks! Bliss!! The flip side of this of course is that if you are looking for a lively hotel with lots going on then this one will not fit the bill! Night time in the hotel not great if you are an early to bed type of person - walls are thin and doors bang at all times (why do people feel the need to scrape furniture across the floor at 3am????)It is a well kept, spotlessly clean hotel - some of the staff are a bit miserable but I think this is more to do with the fact that they are not Spanish and have difficulty understanding - maybe? Went all inclusive and the food is great at all times of the day - something for everyone - varied, well cooked, delicious. No problem with drinks at the bar, it was never that busy!
The outside area is just stunningly located on the cliff top with breathtaking 360 degree views over the bluest sea you will ever look at - only negative is that the terrace furniture needs to be replaced, and maybe a few more umbrellas at tables should be dotted around, although it gets very windy up there so maybe a few have been blown out to sea! Its a great spacious pool area with a shaded jacuzzi also - best views I have ever had from a jacuzzi!! Rooftop gym and facilities are beautiful, very modern and the views, again, amazing. We hired a car (recommended) so were able to potter around the lovely beaches and coves locally - Porto Colom itself I think has 'seen better days' and some parts were tired and run down (probably was a little late in the season also?) but the port itself is absolutely charming and again, the sea views and little beaches around are stunning. All in all a wonderful, relaxing, cheap holiday (which didnt feel cheap at all) - would go there again, definitely - wish I was there now!!
