I have travelled in panama everywhere... but this is the most accomodating place we have been. considering the price and the fact that charlie the owner is supernice... They came to pick us up at airport, drove us around the island when we need it, and the hotel is also located in a nice clean beach... I also liked the... more

My husband and I stayed for a week in the Honeymoon Suite. The service was absolutely amazing. The food was delish and the surroundings were breathtaking. We were able to take a tour on a glass bottom boat with Charlie the owner and Yaris the hotel manager. They were so helpful and informative and so friendly. My husband and I... more

Perfect place, situated just in front of playa cacique, probably the most quiet and beautiful beach in contadora island. Charlie the owner was very friendly and real fun. The restaurant chief, Preciado, was a very pleasant guy that made us feel home. The hotel itself was very confortable, very wide and clean and confortable, we had cable tv as well.... more

My boyfriend and family were going to visit Panama and we had very little time to see everything in 3 days. One main request was to go to the beach and get some sun. We couldn't visit the beaches in the interior because there was resort and hotel construction everywhere. Going to Bocas or San Blas was too expensive just... more

I've just returned from a 2-week-stay in the Villa Romantica on Isla Contadora! No talk of the hotel/restaurant closing! The owner, Charly, is very welcoming (welcome drink upon arrival and tour of island) and makes sure all his guests immediately feel at home! I travelled single and stayed in a quiet room off the main house with view of the... more

I was booked into this hotel from a day tour I'd signed up for (barefootpanama.com) I was a little nervous about it because I don't speak Spanish and it was a small property. However, it wasn't a problem. Charlie speaks English and was able to help me find the beaches best for snorkeling. The hotel itself is very nice but... more

Yes, charley and the villa romantica are delightful but say adios. it's closing april 8 thereabouts. charlie sold it to a bunch of international developers and it's being torn down (yes, demolished) to make way, in two years or so, for contradura's first time share and spa facility. charley is still... more

We had a wonderful stay in October. We were the only guests for a few days and they treated us like royalty. You couldn't ask for a better place! more

Danny y Andrea. PANAMA Superb! This whole trip was a honeymoon gift from my parents, and they could not have picked a better place. Quite and apart from the rest of the hotels, villa romantica really steps up to its name. The vista from its restaurant is breath-taking, we saw a hunch back whale jump right there when we werehaving... more
