Bill & Jeannette were perfect hosts and their lovely B&B is simple yet very comfortable having a real 'homey' feeling. Rooms very clean and a more than adequate breakfast prepared by the lovely Lisbeth to start you day. Bill rents golf carts for 1/2 the normal rate (which do come in handy for island exploring in the heat of the... more

First, the island is incredibly beautiful and nearly empty so we felt like we had worl-class, perfect tropical beaches more or less all to ourselves. There are not many hotel options on the island. We were happy with Perla Real since the other options seemed like over-priced faded resorts with poor service. La Perla Real is basic and comfortable and... more

The place was ok, but it was clean. There is not many great hotel options on the island...so I would consider staying here again, but probably would stay at Punta Galeon. The place had nothing special to offer other than a clean bed. The island on the other hand was beautiful! So the trip to Contadora is worth it...pick your... more

Perla Real is a decent place to stay on Contadora Island however, it is a very basic Bed & Breakfast. The website for Perla Real is incorrect in regards to the activities. There is no such thing as a North or South Island Hopping Adventure (and the price is outdate). If you do stay on Contadora Island you should get... more

The Inn and the room was... more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Perla Real Inn. We went to Isla Contadora to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed not having a phone or TV. Manuel and his wife, Kathy, made us feel welcome and were very helpful. He is fluent in English and Spanish. The breakfast was... more

I stayed at the Perla Real for two nights this past week. I was picked up at the tiny air strip by a friend of the owner. I later found out the owner had a personal issue that required he be in Panama City. I didn't meet him until late on the evening before I left. He said he usually... more

My husband and I recently stayed at the Pearla Real Inn on our recent trip to Contadora Island in July. We found this charming, little inn a nice place to relax. The Spanish and English speaking owners were very helpful with booking tours, providing advice, and taking us to and from the airport. Our room was cute, clean, and air-conditioned.... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Perla Real Inn for about a week and had a wonderful stay. The Inn has this Spanish mission motif that makes it very romantic. The rooms have a stylish, thoughtful decor and are comfortable. The owners/managers are friendly and super helpful with information and advice. We rented snorkeling equipment, kayaks and a golf-cart... more
