I can't say enough great things about this place! It sits right on a beautiful beach, and the rooms are new and very clean. The AC in the rooms works very well, which you want in this humidity. The staff is excellent - friendly and very helpful. The food in the restaurant is amazing. I highly recommend this hotel!

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.

Great location but hotel needs work

The hotel is in a great place and food is very good, but checkout is very early and it has no decent place to go to the bathroom or take a bath after the beach. So be ready not be able to take a bath after the ocean and get in the ferry all sticky and with beach sand. Rooms need extra care. Ours had a whole in the roof of the bathroom because of excess humidity.

In die Jahre gekommenes Hotel. Schade, dass ein so schöner Standort nicht gepflegt wird. Das Badezimmer war schrecklich. Der Fußboden schmutzig. Hier wird nur das Geld von Touristen gezogen und seit Jahren nichts investiert.

Hotel razoável, nenhuma maravilha.

O hotel tem uma ótima localização , frente mar , porém a infraestrutura do estabelecimento deixa muito a desejar. Não exite uma peça sequer , fora dos quartos , que possua ar condicionado . O calor é muito intenso em todas as areas comuns . Cobram muito e não oferecem conforto proporcional. Os funcionarios são muito gentis. O brackfast é muito limitado. Não aconselho o hotel a idosos ,pois as escadas que levam à praia não oferecem segurança e são mais de 30 degraus para descer e subir. Eu esperava muito mais deste hotel. Caro e devolve pouco.

Realmente la propiedad necesita mantenimiento, los baños después de salud de la playa están horribles la persona de recepción dice que le han dado aviso a los dueños y no hacen nada, adicional el baño tiene una cortina con un palo de hierro y este palo no es fijo tengan mucho cuidado ya q me lastimo en la cabeza y se los hice saber obviamente, me ofrecieron algo de comer en la playa pero hasta ahí, yo viaje con mi mamá y lo único q pensaba era gracias q fue a mi y no a ella. El chico del bar la atención fue excelente, súper cordial, las camas están cómodas y los aires funcionan maravilloso el Beach club está muy bien con acceso lindo a la playa. El hotel deben hacerle mantenimiento vidrios rotos, mesas rotas, el menú del restaurante realmente no es bueno, pedí un postre por teléfono con anterioridad para el cumple de mi mamá me dijeron q debí ordenarlo a mi llegada así lo hice y el día del cumple llego y simplemente me dijeron q no había sido posible q me darían 3 galletas de corazón igual no llegaron . Si tienes la posibilidad hospeda-te en otro lugar 4 elementos está súper lindo y si vas tienes q visitar el restaurante casa tortuga su chef es espléndido una joya en la isla. El hotel en mi opinión. Es de 1 estrellas no de 3 y 4 comi lo cobran. Este hotel deben realizarse los mantenimientos antes q pase algo. Si tienes hijos tener mucho cuidado ⛔️ o adultos mayores cómo fue mi caso. Agradezco q el accidente fue conmigo uno con mi mamá.

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.
