A day trip from Panama City took us to the small town of Portobelo (established during the Spanish colonial period) in the Colón Province. We enjoyed some beautiful views from Fort San Lorenzo designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Portobelo Bay Panama still has some remnants of the old fort - note the 3 cannons still remaining.  Rumor has it that Sir Francis Drake was buried in a lead coffin at sea in this bay !  No evidence was ever found

9/10 Wonderful! (11 reviews)
Our stay there was VERY enjoyable. We had a clean, comfortable room though it could use some updating. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Excellent location - quiet yet close to town. Tasty food with breakfast being the best. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers.
