Our host picked us up and dropped us off at the ferry which was extremely helpful. The property was clean, great aircon (vital as it was super hot) and was clean. It was in a good location for the main beaches.

Hibiscus house was a great place to stay on the island. The room was great and the bed comfortable. Air conditioning was good. We had a TV and access to Netflix and other programs. The breakfast was great. Both Nicola and Allen were great hosts. When we asked about anything, they were very helpful in answering our questions. They picked us up from the ferry and took us back to the ferry. Our room was cleaned everyday.

The house was beautiful. It had 3 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, so it was absolutely brilliant. The location is perfect. We would totally recommend it. The people who looks after it was brilliant and so willing to help at any time during the day.

Great location - 2,5h from Panama City. Quiet isolated island. Great beaches. Staff was very helpful. Good food. It is nice place to stay 2-3 nights to really rest.

Contadora Island made an easy get away from Panama City over a weekend during a two week work trip. The ferry to the island was affordable, easy and we even saw humpback whales and dolphins on the way. The beaches I visited on Contadora were clean with beautiful warm water. If I return to Panama City for work again, I am likely to book a trip to Contadora Island again.

Ferry ride from Panama City was easy, comfortable and safe.
Ferry ride from Panama City was easy, comfortable and safe. Island is also very safe, with friendly people and beautiful beaches. Renting a golf cart was the right thing to do as it allowed us to explore everything. The tap/shower water smells a bit funky, and there are not a lot of restaurants/food choices, but otherwise great for a few days for our family of three - we came for the gorgeous beaches! The town is very quiet, this is not a party place.

Contadora Island is beautiful and very safe.
Contadora Island is beautiful and very safe. The whitish, sandy beaches, and transparent to turquoise water are splendid. The disadvantages are the relatively high ratio of the cost of hotels relative to facilities. Food is very expensive. Restaurants charge European type food prices. In most of the US you would pay less for the meals served on Contadora. Fresh fruit is relatively hard to get on Contadora. If we return to Contadora we will bring fresh fruit and other food from Panama City.

The onsite dining facility (stunning view of the beach and nearby islands) and good food) and complementary breakfast were fabulous. Pleased to have an early morning gratus coffee before breakfast was being served. We ate at a couple nearby restaurants a few blocks away....easy walking distance.
Casa Tortuga (Italian) is a dining experience not to be passed up!
We walked everywhere but golf cart rentals looked like fun too.
White sand beach was perfect 'front yard.'

The Island is a beautiful paradise.
The Island is a beautiful paradise. Full of wildlife in land and sea. Great place to go inshore and offshore fishing, diving, snorkeling and whale watching. Its a fairly small island with main roads in good conditions which makes moving around fairly easy. Given the chance to rent a golf cart, do it. (Its worth it if you plan to visit all the beaches because "taxi" service could cost between $5-$10 per trip which is ridiculous considering the size of the island). There are 3 supermarkets in the island, although the goods are expensive. Most restaurants are expensive too. Expect to pay city prices or more in some restaurants. I would recommend to visit playa la ejecutiva and playa sueca. The best restaurant quality/price is pimienta y sal (for seafood, ceviche and fried fish).

Its an island we come to enjoy the beaches sun and family its quiet and relaxing it seems to get more run down each visit
Best Place to eat is Clarita 😁😁
Get a golf cart and explore if relaxing is what you are looking for Contadora is for you
Isla contadora is a great place, so small we tour it in an hour, in the little buggy we rented. All beaches are beautiful, and we discovered some untouched by men when cruising with David around the islands. Avoid Gianluca’s restaurant, overrated and much too expensive.
Sit on the patio, look at the animals grazing, enjoy the small planes landing, have a good drink and relax. Gerald’s staff is so warm and welcoming, we laughed and had a wonderful start of the holidays thanks to them.
We can strongly recommend Contadora and the Loft. Michaela (the owner) communicated with us very well.
We were picked up at the ferry by Elena, she took us to the apartment and she organized a golf cart for us and a whale watching boat trip that was absolutely fantastic- we´ll have life lasting memories. The apartment was spacious, very clean, and we´ve enjoyed the evening on the terrace with a view of the ocean thru the tree branches. We will definitely come back for longer next time.
The room is really nice, it is new and clean and comfortable
However, the surrounding of the hotel is not finished, it looks more or less like a desert area (the trees are dead and there is no green area)
The staff are very nice and helpful
If you want to go to Contadora for the beautiful beaches and to have a quiet moment, it is the place for you! However, be informed that the island itself is a bit unkept and that there is not much activities to do on the island itself
The place is very close to different beaches. It was very clean and the room was large. The best part was Tony, our host. He made us feel at home and he was very knowledgeable about the island. Everyone knows Tony too, and we was kind enough to give us a ride to dinner at night because we didn't rent a golf cart. We stayed here because Mar y Oro was full, but we had such a great stay that we will come back here next time too.
It’s a nice house. Each bedroom has it’s own bathroom. Kitchen has everything you need. Nice terrace in the back part of the house. We got lemon from a tree in the patio. The owner was very kind and pay us the transportation to the port. Good value compared to other places in Contadora. I can recommend it and might stay here next time.
Great location and good amenities. the ferry pick up by golf cart was very appreciated. Really the best part was Nicola. very friendly, helpful and organized anything we needed on the island. the breakfasts were delicious too. Great value for money. Owners/ Management very responsive and communication was excellent.
the view from the restaurant and our room (4) was briljant. great being right on the beach.
if you are on a budget go to the local restaurant Angelina, everything at 1/2 price. we chartered a private motorboat for 2 hours in front of the beach for $60, to go around some islands which is highly recommended.
Breakfast was great every day- Roxana made sure we were well taken care of. She also took us back and forth to the ferry as needed, which made it very convenient for us. She made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed during our 3 night stay.
The breakfast is very complete and varied, you feel like you are at home that for me was a complement to my trip around the island, Robert and Lawrence are very helpful, the bed is big and comfortable, the island has its charm.
Good location, especially close to airstrip.
Convenient Restaurant and market on site.
Close to other local businesses.
Great ac.
TV with many channels
Golf cart is necessary to get around the beautiful island.
Thanks to Nicola for her hospitality and kindness, we enjoyed our stay very much. She was so helpful in so many ways and made us, my daughter and I, feel very much at home. Beautiful island, worth visiting.
The staff was warm and friendly especially after the negative experience at Mar y Oro. The room we had was in exceptional condition and everything worked
The value outwayed what we paid
Daniel was very nice, he did everything that make us feel comfortable. The location of the Hotel is very good, you can walk to several beaches in a few minutes.
The view was amazing, also Helbert was available to run us around the island in the golf buggy which was so helpful. I would totally recommend this place.
We are very pleased with the excellent attention of all the staff and owners of Hotel Gerald. Highly recommend this hotel and it’s team! Thank you all!
