HOTEL PORTOBELO GUATAPE — Hotel in Guatapé

My wife & I and another couple stayed here for 3 nights in Superior class rooms with balconies. The rooms are spacious & each has a theme. You can see the various rooms online. The balconies look directly out to the water & the tourist boats for hire. Therein lies the reason for only giving the hotel 4 stars. Across the street from the hotel is someone with a loudspeaker selling boat rides most of the day. If you like to take an afternoon nap as I do, it is very aggravating, even with the patio door closed. At night there is some traffic & music noise but it's at tolerable levels; not enough to disturb my sleep. Rooms that don't face the street wouldn't have the noise.|The hotel is only a couple of blocks from the central park. The staff is very friendly & helpful. One staff member, Doña Nora, speaks passable English.|A complete breakfast is served on their 2nd floor patio & was quite good. The first floor of the building has a number good restaurants. I recommend this hotel as long as you are aware of the possible noise issue. We would...

Best Hotel in Guatape, Any other Hotels worth talking about are outside the town and you'll find the distance to town will be a hassle. Nice clean rooms and spacious as well. Hotel was top notch and right in the heart of the action. The heart of the action can be a bad thing as the lake cruise announcer is giving his sales pitch from about noon to 6:00 pm every day and he seems as if he is in your room. Then at night the music blares until about 2:00am. We stayed for 3 nights and noise can become a bit much as the day starts at 5:30 am with the traffic and horn honking. Too bad about the noise as the hotel is very nice and in the right place. Would stay again but for only 1 night. Higher rooms may be better...
