Credit Card was skimmed at the Marina Hotel/restaurant. Only used this particular card in one place during my days in Panama...at check-in, and to pay for a pizza at the restaurant. Had unauthorized charges less than 3 hours later.

It’s a marina, and a cute and friendly one. Room isn’t very clean and feels slightly torn up (holes in wall, sliding glass door without a handle) but also feels safe and comfortable

Great little stop over!

We only stayed one night here, but it was a great experience. The room was simple and although small was nicely put together, comfortable, and clean. It also has has either a view of the marina or the jungle behind the hotel depending on which side of the inn you are on. Since it is a re-purposed building and not built as a hotel it is really more like an inn. There is no lobby as it works side by side with the actual marina, so check in is actually in the restaurant. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and if we needed something they did their best to help out. It is close to Fort San Lorenzo, Colon, and the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal. Oh and the food....fabulous!

Shelter Bay Marina is here primarily to serve the boating community, but if you are looking for something unique, comfortable, close to some interesting sights, but not in the middle of the city, it is worth a stop!

Muy mal. No había gerente ni persona responsable

No había persona responsable en el hotel. La persona que limpia las habitaciones tuvo que prestarnos su llave. La TV por cable no funcionó. Las almohadas están todas manchadas de lo viejas que están. Que lástima porque tiene mucho potencial.

No había gerente! Total desastre.

No había gerente. No pudimos hacer check-in formalmente. La chica que limpia las habitaciones tuvo que prestarnos su llave. Almohadas con todo tipo de manchas viejas, televisión por cable/satelite fuera de servicio. Increíble! Obviamente, ningún tipo de servicio, excepto el restaurante que está abajo. La mesera le derramó la bebida a mi hija en las piernas. Muy poco personal. Restaurante muy caro. Al final me enfermé del estómago. No entiendo las excelentes calificaciones.
