Really nice hotel on a wonderful little island

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly at this clean hotel. Food at the restaurant is solid, especially given the limited good options on the island. The hotel is a bit dated, mostly outside of the rooms. I would highly recommend this hotel as the beach is great, close to the airport/port and store (not that the island is big to begin with).

We stayed in Room 1, and the view was absolutely breathtaking—a stunning way to take in the beauty of Isla Contadora. The room was spacious and clean, and the piña coladas were delicious. The hotel clearly had its glory days, and the charm is still there, but it could benefit from some updates. There are cracked walls and windows, a leaky sink pipe, and the banister on the balcony of Room 1 needs immediate repair—it poses a real safety concern. A fresh coat of paint and general maintenance would go a long way in restoring its former splendor. While the food was good, prices are on the high side compared to other great options on the island. For the price of the rooms, a complimentary bottle of water would be a thoughtful touch. That said, the location, views, and overall atmosphere made it worth the stay—with a little TLC, this place could truly shine again.

El personal es amable, las instalaciones son buenas. No obstante hay detalles que estan alejados en relación al costo diario de estadia $ 240. Ejemplo el desayuno no hay agua, si la requeris te cobran la botella. Los precios de las comidas son muy caras al ser huésped cautivo de una isla con relación a la ciudad de Panamá.

2 night stay

For 3 consecutive days restaurant didn’t have what we asked for. Either they need to update the menu or keep in stock what they offer on it. We ordered food at lunch and took 1 hour to be delivered. We had to leave without eating because had plan a boat toor.( we informed them before ordering and they insured us we had enough time) The place needs to be upgraded. We got the terrace suit which was in very bad shape for the price they ask for. Friendly staff but very bad management. Overpriced for the service they offer.
