Kosher food
No kosher food confirmed for Shabbat in Casco Viejo. Lula, described as kosher by Hadassah Magazine, serves Israeli food in Casco Viejo on weekdays (hechsher not named; Shabbat hours conflict between listings). For Shabbat, bring prepared food from Paitilla (Chabad take-out or kosher markets)
How observant guests manage
Casco Viejo is not in the eruv area Chabad describes, and the nearest Orthodox shul (Shevet Ahim, Bella Vista) is about 45-50 min on foot along the Cinta Costera, with nothing carried. No stay-over hospitality or minyan in Casco Viejo was found. Most observant families sleep in Paitilla/Punta Pacífica for Shabbat and visit Casco Viejo on weekdays

            About these rates

            Where the prices come from

            • Rates come live from our hotel supplier for the dates and guests you choose, and are re-checked every few minutes. They include the taxes the supplier includes; anything paid at the hotel is shown separately.
            • When our supplier gives the hotel’s public rate, that’s what we show, rounded up to the whole dollar: never less. Otherwise it’s the net rate plus our margin. Booking on this page isn’t open yet: ask us and we’ll help you book, or price a family week in the calculator.
            • Shabbat details come from community and hotel sources named under each hotel, with the month we checked them. Ask the hotel to confirm before you book.
