Wow, what an amazing hotel right in front of the ocean. The view from our room (small double room) and from the pool was stunnig, you could overlook the ocean. The hotel and the pool are perfect for relaxing. The garden of the hotel felt like paradise, a lot of plants and there are also monkeys in the trees and a lot of colibris. And last but not least: the owners are so friendly and helpful. The host drove us und our baggage to the marina the next day, thank you for that! We were super sad that we could only stay one night and would have loved to stay longer!

Beautiful place just next to the sea but without being right next to the noise of town. You could see the sea right in from of you when opening your bedroom door. We had a private bathroom, basic furniture and hangers along with 2 chairs on the sand next to the sea. There is a little kitchen to make basic food which was highly welcomed. The staff is very friendly and helpful and you can pay by card.

We stayed in the hostel for one night before our 6 days sailing trip from Puerto Lindo to Cartagena. It's a nice place for backpackers close to the shops and restaurants - they have a big hand made map on the wall which shows all the spots around the village with a walking duration. The closest restaurant - Casa X - is about 10 minutes by walk and the Linton Bay Marina port is about 25 - 30 minutes by walk. The place isn't very touristy and it can be difficult to get there if you don't have a car. We arrived by bus from Portobelo but there aren't any visible bus stops so we asked the driver to stop in front of the hostel. You won't find a schedule on the internet so you always have to ask locals about the transportation (we found the bus schedule written on board in the Casa X restaurant). Taxi is very expensive and you will hardly find an Uber in this area. The hostel itself was very quiet and clean with friendly staff and delicious breakfast and I really liked they provided shampoo and shower gel. Rooms are clean and big enough to feel comfortable, there are fans so you don't feel too hot during the day and the kitchen is well furnished. If you are looking for a place to stay in Puerto Lindo and you are backpacker on the budget I definitely recommend to choose Hostel Wunderbar.

The room was spacious, clean and well maintained. The owner can prepare tasty foods and drinks according to request. There is a swimming pool I didn't use, but the biggest + is that the owner can arrange trips for you which are priced cheaper than you find on official tour sites.

The Hotel is in the middle of town but very quiet despite that we went for carnivals, the staff is very friendly and the food at the restaurant is very tasty. Our room was very clean and comfortable but small, the views and the outside hammocks were great for relaxation.

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.

The location was perfect for us. Easy to reach, as it`s direct at the street - but not disturbing noise from it in the complex. Parking right in front, ideal for watching sunsets as well excursion to beautiful Portobello. Small pool, great for a quick cool down. Friendly staff, easy check-in / -out, other restaurant possibility in walking distance. Bar / restaurant is quite basic - nice to have, if you don`t want to walk / drive, but there are better options in quality and price in walking distance.
