Our host picked us up and dropped us off at the ferry which was extremely helpful. The property was clean, great aircon (vital as it was super hot) and was clean. It was in a good location for the main beaches.

Extremely quiet and secluded. Contadora Island has very little on it, there are no restaurants, cafes or shops, just a few boutique hotels and lots of magnificent private villas for Panama City's high net worth crowd. For a few days of relaxing, boat watching and lying on an uncrowded beach with other adults it's bliss. Private beach, and gorgeous views of the sea and coastline. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly
Hibiscus House Bed and Breakfast is located in a quiet and peaceful residential area of Contadora. Free Wi-Fi access and a hearty American-style breakfast are included.

Hibiscus house was a great place to stay on the island. The room was great and the bed comfortable. Air conditioning was good. We had a TV and access to Netflix and other programs. The breakfast was great. Both Nicola and Allen were great hosts. When we asked about anything, they were very helpful in answering our questions. They picked us up from the ferry and took us back to the ferry. Our room was cleaned everyday.

The house was beautiful. It had 3 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, so it was absolutely brilliant. The location is perfect. We would totally recommend it. The people who looks after it was brilliant and so willing to help at any time during the day.

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).

Its an island we come to enjoy the beaches sun and family its quiet and relaxing it seems to get more run down each visit
Best Place to eat is Clarita 😁😁
Get a golf cart and explore if relaxing is what you are looking for Contadora is for you
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.
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 hotel owner and her husband really made the stay at this hotel special - their advice and assistance was greatly appreciated. I didn't need to rent a golf cart to get around the island as they were always close by to give me a lift to where I wanted to go. There was a nice 'family' vibe to the hotel and other guests - I knew that me and my possessions were safe at all times.
Paul and Pilar made the visit truly special and we really felt at home at Casa del Sol. They both go out of their way to ensure guests have a good stay and really enjoy their time on the island. The little bnb is tucked away on the west side of the island but is in easy access to the beautiful beaches away from the business and noise of the airstrip and landing dock.
Great place to stay on the island. The room is spacious and there is an AC which makes the stay very comfortable. We walked to the beaches and the restaurant and it doesn't take much more than 15-20 minutes. Tony was amazing, giving us a tour and plenty of tips to help us during our stay. Would definitely go back if I we were going back to the Pearl islands
The hotel is very cozy and comfortable, Gabriela picked me up from the ferry and returned back. There is kitchen in the hotel and areas to rest. Air conditioner , refrigerator, wi-fi, towels are in the room. You can use bottle of water in refrigerator by 1 dollar. Hot water and liquid soap are also in the bathroom.
It's very safe.
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.
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.
The staff were pleasant, nice, helpful and talkative.
The breakfast was delicious.
The location is about a fifteen-minute walkaway from the marina where the ferry stops, but the hotel is a four-minute walkaway from Playa Larga.
The sea water was warm at the beach.
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!
The breakfast is very complete and varied, you feel like you are at home that for me was a complement to my trip around the island, Robert and Lawrence are very helpful, the bed is big and comfortable, the island has its charm.
Everything was great. Robert and his wife were amazing. The Breakfast was delicious. They were very accommodating. The room was comfy. They picked us up at the ferry, set us up with a golf cart and boat ride.
Thanks to Nicola for her hospitality and kindness, we enjoyed our stay very much. She was so helpful in so many ways and made us, my daughter and I, feel very much at home. Beautiful island, worth visiting.
Spacious and clean apartment, furnished with all you need for your stay. Close to Teo restaurants although everything is quite close on the small island. Owner and staff were responsive in case of need.
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.
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!
Good place to stay in Contadora island. Several types of rooms, simple and efficient. Breakfast included. You will be welcomed and taken care of by Paul.
