    Some photos can be misleading, like the villa with pool. It’s a different house handled by the same company. They need to update some of the room photos, since they don’t show the recent upgrades to the room.

    I had a wonderful stay at Casa del Sol on Isla Contadora, Panama. It’s like a home away from home. The staff is a living-in couple, Alina and her husband Daniel. They were super friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond with everything we needed. Just be patient with a bit of waiting. Elena and Renata handle the booking. We had the Studio II room. On the Booking website, it showed a queen bed and a single sofa bed for 3 people, but they have updated the room with a twin bed instead of the single sofa bed. It was more comfortable than what we expected. The room was clean, with strong AC. In the morning, Alina would take your breakfast order, cook and serve home-cooked breakfast, which was very delicious. The closest 2 beaches (Playa Camaron and another one whose name I can’t recall) seem to be privately owned and closed to the public. They offer free shuttle service (golf cart) to pick up/drop off from the ferry. Just let them know ahead of time if you need to be picked up or not. I made the mistake of not letting them know I had an island tour before arriving, as they were waiting for me at the ferry. I would definitely recommend Casa del Sol to anyone looking for a place to spend the night or a few days to explore the island.

    Getting hot water in our room was a gamble. By the end of our stay there was no water at all. The pump of the water well broke (luckily, Daniel offered us to take a shower in the AirBnB cabin they have next door). Would like to see the owners invest a little more in the property.

    The service was Amazing. The room and premises where clean. Daniel and Alina took really good care of us. The breakfast was delicious, the house is located fairly close to playa ejecutiva and couple restaurants. They have golf carts for rent which makes moving around so much easier.

    The place clearly needs an overhaul and several things were broken down in the apartment.

    The location is perfect, the apartment is big and I loved the patio! The staff was responsive and we never had to wait long to get an answer. Paul, in particular, was extremely helpful and a lovely person to deal with.

    The most boring, invariable and unhealthy breakfast ever!!!

    The only good impression was left by Paul - the hotel manager. He was very helpful and nice. Unfortunately at the time we stayed there the hotel was in the middle of a sale process which apparently can explain the indifference of former or the new owners to the current matters. However it skips my understanding why during our five-day stay there wasn’t a single room-cleaning, no one took our garbage out even once, toilet paper was not restocked, most of the light bulbs were out, there were zero toiletries provided (not even the soap at the time of COVID!!!) the table and chairs on the patio belonging to the room we paid extra for were covered with dirt, the towels and sheets looked and felt like floor rugs.

    We didn't have hot water, they couldn't fix it and we had to shower the last day in a small bathroom that was shared with other guests. Breakfast could be improved.

    Staff is really nice and helpful, as its not that close to the beach they always offered to take us there and pic us up. This is a bonus. Its a nice b&b, but needs some adjustments to offer a better experience and a better value for money.

    I don't think that the location was clean enough for my taste. Others may have been ok with the accommodations but the bathroom looked like it hadn't been clean in months, hair was everywhere and I had to request clean sheets upon arrival. The staff was accommodating with the sheets however.

    The location was close to a few local and delicious restaurants. It also had a nice layout and tons of outdoor seating. The staff was incredibly accommodating and nice.

    No breakfast, no hot water, apparently there are two locations on the island And that was not clear oN the booking so I ended up on the isolated location… no by choice.

    The lady that received me was very kind and helpful. The room had an equipped kitchen that could be useful if the guest knew in advance to bring food.
