Portobelo, Panama
El Otro Lado - Private Retreat
El Otro Lado occupies a colonial-era compound on the shores of Bahía Portobelo, where Caribbean light and dense tropical forest define the physical experience as much as any interior detail. The retreat format places it in a small category of Caribbean properties where seclusion, not scale, is the organizing principle. For travelers who find Panama City's hotel corridor too urban and the resort coast too managed, Portobelo offers a different entry point into the country.
