    Blissful, quiet and relaxing

    • Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The sea-view room was a little basic. No bedside tables or sidelights meant that reading in bed required the main over-head room light, which was jarring, and a glass of water by the bed had to be put on the floor.

    Extremely quiet and secluded. Contadora Island has very little on it, there are no restaurants, cafes or shops, just a few boutique hotels and lots of magnificent private villas for Panama City's high net worth crowd. For a few days of relaxing, boat watching and lying on an uncrowded beach with other adults it's bliss. Private beach, and gorgeous views of the sea and coastline. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly

    The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom was very small and dated. The restaurant charges for every little thing and the staff functions in multiple roles. Ex. Front desk check in will also substitute for wait staff, which can take awhile.

    The view and location was beautiful! Definitely worth visiting. If you want a quiet place just to sit on the beach, this is the place.

    In the rooms close to the reception you could hear everything, maybe the doors need to be changed as it was really loud, but during the night was Ok.

    The staff was nice and helpful. The room had ocean view which was a plus. Breakfast was delicious! Just in front of the beach! Rooms were clean.

    The restaurant was terribly overpriced. You don't really have much option to go elsewhere so I belive they are taking advantage of that.

    Great location, one of the best beaches on Contadora

    The property should invest in a power generator to run the basics in case of power outages. Maybe add some water sports, kayaks or standing paddle boards.

    The best location in Contadora, the property is well kept and clean. The entire staff was very helpful and accommodating. Food was tasty and the portions were generous. The bed and pillows provided a good night of sleep.

    Best Contador Accommodations with Restaurant and Beautiful Beach
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Standard Suite
    • Stayed 1 night

    The facilities could be a bit more about luxury, but given the location I understand that is a challenge. The beach can be overcrowded on a Sunday with yachts parked offshore getting supplies and enjoying the beach but that makes for a fun environment. The bathroom had no AC and extremely basic. There is no AC at the restaurant or outdoor seating which could benefit from some misters to cool the air as it can get extremely hot. Offering kayaks or other water activities would be nice.

    This hotel is optimally located on the best beach with water taxis and tours departing and returning right from the hotel. The beach was clean with some covered areas and lounge chairs. The view from the room looked out at the beach and had a small porch. It is nice there is a restaurant & bar and covered outdoor sitting area for people to enjoy and get a cold drink while waiting for their room check-in or after check-out before the ferry arrives. The hotel had ATV pick-up and drop-off at the ferry station for no charge. The staff here is very accommodating with great attitudes.

    The only problem is that there are many stairs to go back and forth from the beach and the steps were of a different size and not very comfortable for people with any level of walking disability. Otherwise, there is nothing to complain about. It was a very fine vacation

    The rooms were sensational and they more than fulfilled our expectations. The food was great and the best was the beach and overall the staff which was the best we have had anytime, anywhere.

    A mid range hotel in a nice location overlooking the beach, but vastly over priced for the facilities provided. Staff were all very pleasant and the restaurant was also nice, but again a bit pricey, especially for cocktails in plastic cups at the beach bar.
