Porvenir Hotel & Restaurant

9° 33.5′ N · 78° 56.9′ W · approximate

The small hotel and restaurant beside the Porvenir airstrip, a handy place for a meal or a drink while clearing in or meeting crew off the morning flights.

Practical

Coordinate approximate: Gaigirgordub (Porvenir) in OpenStreetMap; the hotel and restaurant are near the airstrip and the administration buildings. SY Balvenie (2012) and s/v Angel (2010) both noted a small hotel and restaurant on Porvenir; OpenStreetMap also marks a small Guna museum next to the airstrip. Shops on Porvenir mostly sell tourist items (Noonsite 2025); for groceries go to Wichub Wala's store by the big concrete dock and its bakery (bread usually after 2 pm in 2012). No ATM. Hours and menus unverified: ask ashore.
