Hotel El Porvenir

Comarca de Guna Yala


Just about the only 'real' hotel in the archipelago, Hotel El Porvenir has 15 cramped motel-like rooms housed in a building painted in bright pastel colors. Rooms share a long communal terrace and there's a pleasant enough bar-restaurant next door. The high price – considering the fairly basic accommodations – includes three meals and two daily excursions.
