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

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.
Beautiful island . Perfect for family time and relaxing.
Beautiful island . Perfect for family time and relaxing. Gorgeous, pristine beaches with soft sand and warm water. We mostly ate at our hotel but the food at Pimienta y Sal was really good too. Pimienta y Sal is right on Playa Larga which was my favorite beach of the three we visited. You can rent a golf cart at your hotel to get around the island, which is also very walkable too. Going to contadora next time, I would take one of the small planes that come in daily several times a day, especially if you’re pressed for time to get back to Panama City. The ferri ride is ok but I takes 2 hours each direction. The plane ride is only $20 more and it’s a lot faster. I would have really liked to have had the time to stay a couple days longer. We had a wonderful time!!!

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).
We were picked up from the ferry and were warmly welcomed by Robert with a delicious drink. On the way from the ferry he took the time to show us a couple of the islands beautiful beaches.
We decided to include a breakfast which we enjoyed on the outside patio and included delicious fruits.
We loved relaxing on the island and our stay was made perfect by Roberts hospitality.
The hotel is very cozy and comfortable, Gabriela picked me up from the ferry and returned back. There is kitchen in the hotel and areas to rest. Air conditioner , refrigerator, wi-fi, towels are in the room. You can use bottle of water in refrigerator by 1 dollar. Hot water and liquid soap are also in the bathroom.
It's very safe.
Nicola is the nicest host. She really went out of her way to make sure that my stay at Contadora Island was great ! And it was thanks to her. Amazing restaurant recommandations. Her staff is also very nice. Would totally recommand !
The room was also very comfortable and clean and the breakfast very tasty and generous.
Fabulous position for a get-away-from-it-all break, right on a virtually private beach on a paradise island. Room 1 is a lovely big room with large windows looking out on to a fabulous sea view. Food is very good here, staff very helpful, nothing was either a problem or too much trouble.
The island is nice with 3-4 cool beaches and there are other islands in the archipelago worth visiting.
Andres did the welcome very well and was available throughout the stay in case we needed. The house is quite nice but doesn't get beyond the minimum level of service.
- Gerald was very nice! He also cooks in his own restaurant and the dishes were delicious. He could even accommodate my need for lactose free food
- Location: close to the 2 beaches in Isla Contadora and the centre of the town (other restaurants, supermarket, etc)
Absolutely fantascic ! We had a a great stay !
Strongly recommned the Loft. Clean and cosy. The caretaker Elena was very helpful.
Contadora has stunning beaches and cool restaurants.
We were sorry not to have more time to stay.
The property was really good value for the price. The best thing was the excellent service from Paul, he was right on time to pick us up from the ferry arrival, he have us tips to of places to go and beaches to explore. Great guy!
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.
Great location, great views and very nice beach. Facilities/room was very clean. No issues. Located close to ferry dock and the staff will pick you up/drop you off at ferry.
The staff at the inn was great. Gabriela picked us up from the ferry and showed us around the island. The inn was clean, the internet was good, the bed was comfortable.
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!
Good place to stay in Contadora island. Several types of rooms, simple and efficient. Breakfast included. You will be welcomed and taken care of by Paul.
