Helpful and super friendly staff. They greet you at the door and explain how everything works. Breakfast was wonderful everyday. Our room was kept cleaned and our towels changed daily. Plenty of toiletries. The beach was amazing as well. They have a bar and food service downstairs by the beach. They close at 5 pm. They also provide beach towels, chairs and umbrellas for guests. Golf carts are available to rent by the hour or daily so you can tour the island on your own. The island is very walkable as well. Contadora is a beautiful place to visit. We had the opportunity to go to three of their beaches and they were all gorgeous. We enjoyed our stay very much!

we were blown away. we had a private dip Pool in our room (so cool - we were celebrating an anniversary so we appreciated the privacy) and the food services were above and beyond.
we basically let the chef know all our favorite dishes and they were prepared and served to us. the staff and hospitality were next level. We’ll definitely be back!

It’s a nice house. Each bedroom has it’s own bathroom. Kitchen has everything you need. Nice terrace in the back part of the house. We got lemon from a tree in the patio. The owner was very kind and pay us the transportation to the port. Good value compared to other places in Contadora. I can recommend it and might stay here next time.

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).
Isla contadora is a great place, so small we tour it in an hour, in the little buggy we rented. All beaches are beautiful, and we discovered some untouched by men when cruising with David around the islands. Avoid Gianluca’s restaurant, overrated and much too expensive.
Sit on the patio, look at the animals grazing, enjoy the small planes landing, have a good drink and relax. Gerald’s staff is so warm and welcoming, we laughed and had a wonderful start of the holidays thanks to them.
The room is really nice, it is new and clean and comfortable
However, the surrounding of the hotel is not finished, it looks more or less like a desert area (the trees are dead and there is no green area)
The staff are very nice and helpful
If you want to go to Contadora for the beautiful beaches and to have a quiet moment, it is the place for you! However, be informed that the island itself is a bit unkept and that there is not much activities to do on the island itself
The room was super comfortable, very clean and spacious, they picked us up at the airport and gave us a tour of the island restaurants and beaches and greeted us with a delicious romantic cocktail. Lauren and Robert were exceptional, they were very attentive to what we needed, they also have a lot of information about the island tours and golf carts, the hotel is a bit far from the beaches but with a golf cart you can go to all parts of the islands. We will be back.
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 nice, with a familiar atmosphere. The room was big, confortable and super-clean. Breakfast was delicious. Nicola, our host, was an awesome lady, super helpful and professional. We miss her and we hope to come back at Hibiscus some day. Was an excellent vacation. Thank you, Nicola, for everything!
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.
We had an amazing experience on Contadora Island, mainly because of the great stay at Contadora Island Inn. Tony was welcoming, very caring and helpful. We could not have wished for any better host and we loved listening to his stories and information about the island.
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!
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.
Very nice hotel with it's own beach, sun beds and umbrellas. Very friendly and supportive stuff. I really enjoyed staying there and will definitely comeback again
Daniel was very nice, he did everything that make us feel comfortable. The location of the Hotel is very good, you can walk to several beaches in a few minutes.
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!
