Anyone who knows Contadora Island in Panama is familiar with Gerald's German and seafood restaurant- a long-time institution on the Island and a favorite of the locals. Gerald just recently added hotel accommodations, and I recently had the opportunity to enjoy a brief stay with him. The rooms are clean, well-appointed and quiet, while being quite reasonably priced. There is... More

Basic rooms but very clean. Location is great. Gerald's restaurant has best food on the island by far. Decent WIFI.

We stayed at Gerald's one night and we simply loved it. The hotel is very basic like everything on Contadora, and that's the very charm of it...It's clean and comfortable, ideally located just a short walk from the ferry landing (but Gerald can send someone to pick you up with a golf cart) and what's best it has a lovely...

First it is important to understand there are not so many places to stay on Contadora, So if you list all the Pros and Cons, overall I think Gerald's is the best choice considering: location, room and overall hotel standards, prices and food . The main advantages: 1. The best location currently in the island. The closest hotel to the... More

We are so grateful that Gerald opened a hotel on Contadora this past December. We have visited Contadora many times and have eaten at his wonderful restaurant, so it did not surprise us that his new hotel (conveniently located near the airstrip and great beaches) has the same standard of excellence. Hotel Gerald has eight clean and simple, yet well... More

Took my wife for a 3 day getaway from Panama City...and Contadora was just what the doctor ordered for a quick escape. Geralds ended up being our headquarters for both room and food. This time of year the weather is perfect and hardly ever a cloud in the sky. All three days were filled with fun, sun, good food and... More

On our recent trip to Contadora we stayed at two places, the latter was Hotel Gerald. It is located on the best side of the island, Playa Larga is right down the street and is by far the nicest beach on the island. The rooms are large enough for a family of four and each bed was more comfortable than... More

I have been eating at Gerald's for years, then he built on some hotel rooms. Just spent my first weekend and everything was as expected. Good food, new and clean room, free wifi, hot shower, and a good location. A definite repeat for me. Thank Gerald.

The rooms are clean and neat, the TV is large, we never watched it, so I can't tell you what channels are there. The beach is clean and the sand if fine and the water is hot. Gerald made a bonfire for us on the beach. It was a nice touch Gerald. Breakfast was fast, no point of wasting time.... More
