Mar Y Oro, hotel in Contadora

Mar Y Oro is located in Contadora Island, Panamá. The property offers luggage storage services, a restaurant on site and all is placed in the middle of extensive tropical gardens.

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!

    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 can strongly recommend Contadora and the Loft. Michaela (the owner) communicated with us very well. We were picked up at the ferry by Elena, she took us to the apartment and she organized a golf cart for us and a whale watching boat trip that was absolutely fantastic- we´ll have life lasting memories. The apartment was spacious, very clean, and we´ve enjoyed the evening on the terrace with a view of the ocean thru the tree branches. We will definitely come back for longer next time.

    I was there in low season (June). The location is super good - very close to ferry. I did not meet the owner or the manager but Archie was there who is in charge. He and Carlos was super nice, kind and helpful to make my stay easy and comfortable. The room was very comfortable with a big comfortable bed, and there was a big screen with Netflix. The hotel is old but very clean. There was construction at the hotel since it is low season to make it ready for the new season.

    All the basics are there - AC, bed was comfortable, small fridge was helpful. I was originally in a twin room, and really appreciated that Tony moved me to a room with more light since I was staying 4 nights. Tony was also helpful with some recommendations and taking me back and forth to the ferry. The island is small and everything is walkable - including some very nice beaches less than 10 min away. A couple of good restaurants also nearby.

    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.

    Great stay at Gerald’s. Staff here are so friendly and helpful with everything. Had a good breakfast to set us up for the day. Great evening food in the restaurant too. Gerald was always there to offer help and advice on what to do and see, he even arranged a buggy for us to get around. Hotel is ideally placed to see things. We would go back to stay.

    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.
