This has been my second visit to Villa Romantica and my girlfriend and I had a wonderful time there. The room we had was spacious and clean. The property is located on a great spot on Contadora Island, and the beach was nice and clean. The quality and selection of food and drinks was great. I can only say good... More

We loved our stay at Villa Romantica! It was quiet and relaxing...just what we were looking for! It's right on the water overlooking Playa Cacique and it was so nice to fall asleep to the sounds of the waves. Charlie and his staff were warm, friendly and accommodating. The hotel is VERY clean as is the beach...the food also was... More

The owner of the hotel is from Austria and he surely put European charm in the smallest details of his property. The detached cottages are simply gorgeous. The restaurant is overlooking the sea. The beach is beautiful. If you do not stay at the hotel and you visit the island for a day from Panama City with the Sea Las... More

We we staying one night on Contadora and decided to have dinner at Villa Romantica. We had a pleasant experience during the day although we only had drinks, and the dishes a group sitting next to us had looked appetizing, so we thought we would get a nice dinner too. Unfortunately, the service was terrible and the waitress seemed in... More

I offer an "excellent" rating for this property in the context of Contadora Island. There was no doubt in my mind that this is the best hotel / inn accommodation on the island. Bed and Breakfast properties cannot be compared to hotels and that is why TripAdvisor separates them. I think it is fair to both property categories to keep... More

My wife and I came to the Pearl Islands partly to preview a new development for our real estate corporation and partly for some fun and relaxation in the sun. We were too busy to read any reviews of Contadora's resorts, so we unfortunately picked the wrong one to begin our three night stay. After one night there, we were... More

Was planning on going to Boca del Tora, last minute change to Isla Contadora. Went to Punta Galeon for a couple of nights...ate at Villa Romantica every night! Returned to Villa Romantica the following week! Charlie the owner is incrediable, the chef is great, and the service was perfect! I will return again in December for vacation with the family!...

We were originally going to visit Bocas del Toro. A few weeks before our trip, we switched to Isla Contadora, and I am so glad that we did. The hotel sits right on the most beautiful beach on the island. It rivals the beaches in Phuket, Thailand and parts of Hawaii.....but it is even more secluded. You feel like you... More

The hotel owner picked us up from the ferry. I would recommend taking the ferry to the island. It is only an hour and forty minutes and way cheaper than flying. The ride is smooth; no one got sea sick. However, wear flip flops or water shoes and shorts or capri pants because when you bet there, there is no... More
