The Hotel Contadora has been sold and is in the process of being taken to pieces piecemeal and a whole new development will be going in its place. This began on Jan 15, 2009. I am required to enter a rating to submit this info. so I am putting 1 - and it is important that tourists do not waste their time trying to book at this hotel. You can call for verification Yahoo

A Horrible vacation.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/10/08
We stayed there a few years ago, for 2 long weeks. We were ready to quit after 3 days, but you are stuck on this pitiful island. The hotel is very old and in need of just about everythung. The beds are saggy and most uncomfortabe. The buffet consists of 2 orf 3 salas, some fruit and vegetable and 3 or 4 casseroles, every meal. The afternoon lunch ...

A bad surprise
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/23/08
This hotel was not enjoyable, although the island is a natural beauty. The service was not at all on the ball, not helpful. The facilities are in shambles. On the beach there is a huge rusting abandoned ship directly in front of the rooms. The food was disgusting. The worst part by far was the loud, blaring music, with live comments, that will keep you awake till 3am anywhere in the hotel. Turn that trash music off or play it indoors!

A disgrace for tourists that visit Panama
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/20/08
Service is very poor no help, no information, rooms and facilities are in bad conditions, food sucks, the hotel charges in advance for the whole trip, the worst experience ever. Don't come here for romance or family, not worth the money or time. ANY other beach hotel in Panama is better by far.
If you want to visit Contadora and Pearl ...

We liked everything and moving to Panama. The service, management, staff were wonderful. Clean and lived up to advance publicity. Go, you will be glad you did. See you on the beach.

Can't wait to go back!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/12/06
I went with my cousins and we had a welcome coctel. The personal was very respectful and gentle. They were always looking for activties for us to do, like play cricket or volleyball... Every night was amazing. The staff always had a show prepared were we participate. (I won a bottle of champagne on a dance contest). The food was abundant and you ...
this place was a dump. there is no casino. the golf course is completely overgrown - get some goats to eat the grass. good luck getting clean towels and toilet paper for your hotel room.

Contadora off season is great!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/15/06
We visited Isla Contadora via Air Panama ($71/RT ticket) May 12-May 14. 4 adults and 6 kids under age 7. It could not have been a better vacation. The Hotel Contadora ($113/night double occupancy) was basically empty, except for some Swiss visitors working on the set/filming for the upcoming Swiss version of Survivor. The staff was friendly and ...

Go for a day trip
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/06/06
Nothing as advertised. There is no casino and I would hardly call this a resort. There is nothing resortlike about it. The service is poor, the grounds are totally unkempt - you should see what they call a golf course (laughable) & the tennis courts were in ruins. The beaches are littered with the trash from a Survivor Episode (shame on ...
