I wish I could upload all my photos because I have tons. To begin with this is not a hotel, not even qualifies as a motel, this is someone’s backyard with all their old junk laying around. First thing you will notice is a lack of front desk, you have to ask for your room to anyone you believe appears to work there and after making a few calls to confirm your reservation they will open the door for you.

The strong musty smell will welcome you to the room hoping the A/C will remove some of it but ha!, the remote does not work. Then you begin inspecting and find so many things broken, dirty and in bad shape that I do not know where to begin.
At this point I believed I could spend a night with broken artifacts but before going to bed I removed my daughters socks which were perfectly white when we arrived and they turn black from walking on the room. Then I realized there was dirt all over although it is hard to see as the floor is painted brown. 

The photos you see on the web must be real old. This place is completely destroyed. I see photos of great looking dishes but I would not dare to have a glass of water from that kitchen.

The water! I brought my own soap, same brand I always use at home, and as I tried to shower the soap would not glide on my skin, It got stock as if I was using a solid bar deodorant leaving my skin with soap residue I could not remove with water. Some people tell me this happens when the water is not treated properly.

We stayed up all night waiting for the sun to come out and leave. If it was not in an island I would have been gone long before. I felt so
miserable taking my family there and felt afraid they would get sick from bacteria or virus.

Enough !  Please look at my photos and get the picture, and do yourself a favor: do not stay here, and if you do, please post photos so you can warn others.

Horrible in every way!

Stayed 3 nights in this sh*t hole and will never recommend or return here. We’d booked through Expedia so couldn’t leave or cancel. Ended up demanding/negotiating a lower room rate with the owner who’s overseas and  while her lazy onsite staff run this dump into ground. Come here at your own risk .. you have been warned!!

Run down dirty dump with virtually non existent service

We loved the food at Pearla Real.  So much so that we returned for dinner 3 nights in a row.  Why go elsewhere when the food is this good.  We had everything from pasta, fish and chicken.  Every dish was terrific.  Our stomachs were happy.  The service was excellent and they have a nice selection of wine to go with whatever you order.  A terrific experience each time.

Excellent Food - We ate here 3 nights in a row!

Location is good. Walking distance to all the beaches. 1 ) The Hotel is very basic.Very good customer services.Thanks to Glendis and Hector they pick up us on  the beach when we arrived from the Ferry and take us to The Hotel in a golf car .2) Very expensive food and not a good quality .We order a " Pargo Frito " cost 20 dollars and was not a good fish. I relized its was not a pargo because I eat pargo all the time .That fish was really big and the texture was really weird .I told the girl and she said it was Pargo. 3) Nothing to do her at nigh other than been biten by mosquitos or sleep. 4)  They also rent a golf car for $65 dollars a day to go around the island . I think its really ridiculous to charge that amount of money .We walk around and see Deers and Nutrias.(that was nice ). I recomend to come to Contadora Island for one day or really skip this in your trip to Panama . I couldnt belive this island it was so basic with only 2 small supermarket and basic expensives restaurants.The Ferry by the way cost 98 dollars per person. To get to Conatora for this ??? in my opinion .Not worth it .I had been in Kho Phi Phi Island , Santorini , Corfu,  Mikonos ,and so many other island beautiful and not so expensive  . Sorry this was NOT FOR ME !!!

Not for ME

We spent 3 nights at this great inn and island after a 1-week business trip to Panama City and we absolutely loved it. It's a quaint place with a lovely breakfast area and attentive service. We stay in a corner room but there's little noise or traffic on this island. And don't bring anything. They have chairs, beach umbrellas, snorkeling stuff, towels and more.  Just wish they spoke a little more English. But we got along just fine.

The perfect getaway.

We had a wonderful time here, everything surpassed our expectations. The service, the food - fresh and very tasty - the overall environment, we felt really pampered!! The inner patio comfort made us all feel at home, the friendly owner, Maria Jose, always around to ensure we had the best of everything. The staff very attentive, the rooms super clean, a great place to relax without doubts. The most difficult time here is departure time.....very hard to leave! we all felt sorry our stay was over!

This is "the place" to stay in the island!

We had our supper here and the staff were so helpful.  They accommodated our party with a great meal, it wasn't even on the menu, but they served us some great prawns!  The manager went out of her way to make us feel so appreciated and welcome.  She really sided with my wife which she did not need to help there.  Going back!!

We visited the Island in February 2019.  A must stay!

We had a lovely time in Contadora – we stayed in the second floor of this inn, and had a good time! The room was clean, the staff was very nice, and they arranged to take us back and forth from the ferry stop. The rate includes beach towels, chairs and umbrellas, 
 and a cooler you can take on your beach excursion! 

The only thing that I would suggest to the hotel (and this may be because we are on an island), is the pressure in the showers – it barely reached our room in the second floor.
