Vicente was great and met us at the apartment to show us around. Despite a language barrier we were able to communicate effectively through WhatsApp if we had any questions.
Nice apartment with two balconies on different sides of the property meaning one is always cooler than the other which on very hot days was great. One of the balconies is off of the master bedroom and being able to open up the doors in the morning was lovely.
Good location with a number of restaurants close by. We had a brilliant meal at La Costa which is down a side street just around the corner from the apartment.
Cala Marcal beach was a 5 minute walk and is very nice. Parasols and two loungers are €15 for the day with a safe attached to the parasol. The beach gets so hot it was worth it just to get more shade and just to be able to get off the hot sand. The pedal boats are €15 per hour and our seven year old loved going out on one.
The supermarket is a 10-15 minute walk which feels longer on hot days walking back with shopping but there is a small shop opposite the apartments for snacks but it doesn't stay open all day whereas the supermarket is open until 9pm.
Not loads for kids to do in Porto Colom but the apartment and its lovely pool and the beach being so close we all had a lovely week.
