It seems like there is a party every night with the people from the yachts. Great swiming pool if you don't want to walk to the beach. There are... More

“Impressive”

Reviewed 22 March 2013

A true hidden gem! The food at the restaurant has been top notch, Chris and the entire crew have been nothing but accommodating. With breathtaking views of the marina, and all the amenities, this place should be your stop before traveling the canal. Not many places can offer a scenic jungle hike with all the wildlife you would expect, historic... More

“Top service in the restaurant”

Reviewed 7 March 2013

We came here as we had been Colon on the Panama Canal (scenic) railway and then onto the Gatun Locks and were in desperate need of something to do to kill a couple of hours before our train departed for Panama City. We were glad we did. The approach to the marina did not give a good impression. But the... More

“Enjoy the Atlantic Ocean”

Reviewed 13 January 2013

Marina Hotel has the best location in the Colon port area. With an incredible view of the Atlantic Ocean, this boutique hotel shines for its service and great location. Make sure you book a room with a view, it's beautiful to watch the sunrise and set everyday. Ask for Chris!

“Wonderful start to our voyage”

Reviewed 11 January 2013

Chris and the entire team at the marina/hotel were so delightful to us as we prepared for the launch of our sailboat. The food, room, atmosphere and drinks were excellent. Shelter Bay has a real personal touch to make your stay memorable. Be sure to hike nearby for lots of aligator, sloth, monkey, etc sightings!
