    The roads are narrow on the island.

    The area was beautiful and very clean. The staff was accomodating and hard working. Erica is a charming manager and Moises is doing well learning english. You will feel at home, cozy and at peace in paradise.

    Do yourself a favor and get the terrace suite it is separate from the hotel and has amazing views and large terrace. Very rare to find a gem like this and sleep right on the ocean but in a king bed with A/C TV and huge windows and doors. Thank you Nancy, Erica, Freddy and Roy, you guys make a great team of 5-star service

    We really loved it, I can’t say anything negative about them.

    It’s right on the ocean, complete with an oceanfront bar/restaurant. We got a room with a balcony with an oceanfront view, which was amazing. The staff were very helpful, the food was quite delicious. It’s not a new building, but it is well-maintained, and I like that this is not a large property, the casual atmosphere allowed us to strike up conversations with other guests. We had an amazing time. Air conditioning, hot water, etc, everything worked well.

    Chill, low key luxury in an incredible location at a reasonable price.

    It would be hard to improve. Its the right scale, with enough amenitiy at a good price. Contadora doesn't offer enough variety to a longer stay, but as expected kept us more than happy for a few days and showed us a different side of Panama on our first trip.

    The restaurant, bar, lobby and front desk are all open air, so you feel the beachfront experience as soon as you set foot on the property. Thats a plus in my mind versus a sealed off, over air conditioned meat locker you find in much of Panama and the tropics. Fans and AC in rooms offer individual comfort settings. We apprecaited the variety of room types, several one of a kind. Book early because the coolest rooms weren't available, but our "Ocean View" was nice for 2 nights. It was closest to the lobby so we heard some background noise at times, but not enough to be disruptive anytime. It looks like Garden Rooms may have been recently renovated from the exterior. Photos on the website look a little dreary, but they may not have been updated. You could have breakfast, lunch and dinner on the property if you want. But there are other good places close by. It a small island - everything is close. The cabana bar on the beach serves drinks and food from the main restaurant. Staff were consistantly great, but Erica went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and spoiled. If you don't fly in (which can be as cheap as the ferry) you are at the mercy of one daily arrival and departure, but they work with you to hold or bags. We were lucky to have our room ready when we arrived around 10, but they can't guarantee it. We weren't sure how we'd get the short distance from the dock to the resort, but there were golf carts waiting for their guests.

    As someone with food allergies it was hard to eat at the restaurant. There were not a lot of activities offered and there were specific times to eat. Had I known, I would have packed my own food. Prices were a bit expensive for food and drink and the island stores didn’t offer much.

    Nice private beach, the view was beautiful, and it was close to the dock.
