EL OTRO LADO, PORTOBELO BAY

THE SOUNDS OF WILDLIFE

Lie in your hammock with a frivolous book and don’t even bother to read. Listen, with your eyes half closed, to the world receding away. Play the ear-stretching game. How far can you hear? The tinkle of the ice in your glass, of course. Children playing down on the beach. Birds calling to each other in distant treetops. The sounds of wildlife in the nearby National Park, carried over on the breeze. At El Otro Lado, guests are counted in single figures. So you’ll have space and peace aplenty to let go of the everyday, and begin to luxuriate in this luxury boutique hotel nestling on the edge of a beautiful sandy bay, surrounded by the exuberant flora and fauna of the National Park of Portobelo.
