Mar Y Oro, hotel in Contadora

Mar Y Oro is situated 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.

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

    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.

    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

    Had a fantastic stay at Hibiscus House. Nicola is a consummate hostess and a wealth of information on what to do and see on the island. The location of the house is ideal - within walking distance to two superb beaches on either side of the island. The house itself is very clean, the bed extremely comfortable and the breakfast was equally ample and delicious. Would return in a heartbeat.

    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.

    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 check-in process was smooth and the hotel accommodated a change in my travel plans due to transportation issues (the island ferry does not operate every day). The breakfasts were excellent and economical. Hotel staff were helpful in coordinating boat trips and local transportation.

    A mid range hotel in a nice location overlooking the beach, but vastly over priced for the facilities provided. Staff were all very pleasant and the restaurant was also nice, but again a bit pricey, especially for cocktails in plastic cups at the beach bar.
