I really wanted to like the place, and I am not fussy at all about insects or poor service, but the hotel is in serious need of a reality check. It is a 2 - 3 star facility at best and the price they charge per night is unacceptable. The food was by far the biggest disappointment - in fact... More

My wife and I had to go to Saboga Island to preview a new development, so we decided to go over to Contadora afterward for a little R and R. We made reservations for three nights at Punta Galeon. After you get off the boat it’s only a few steps to the hotel. It’s a wonderful location on a point... More

Great place to stay. Extremely quiet, however. Seriously, there was almost no one staying while I was there. Indeed, there are a few small details that could use some work (like the missing #11 ball and rack from the pool tables) and it is sad to see that some areas are basically closed down probably due to lack of use....

First of all, we did not stay here on our 4 week visit to Contadora, but rather rented a private house, and over such a long stay, have had the opportunity to sample most of what the island has to offer in terms of restaurants, and activities. I had read the reviews on Punta Galeon Resort, and had a fairly... More

Nothing works, including the staff. If they could try less, they probably would. Stay at Villa Romantico, or in one of the condos overlooking the Punta Galeon and the end of the runway, or in a verified private residence. The island is beautiful, but the "poxyuism" of the management raises the bar on 'lazy', reminding me of spring break in... More

We visited Contadora Island in Jan 2012 for 3 days. There were seven of us, 5 adults and 2 young children. We stayed at Punta galeon hotel while we were at Contadora island. The island itself is very nice to visit with some excellent beaches. To get there, we took the ferry from Panama city. The ferry ride was plesant... More

We were disappointed in the quality of the rooms and the Hotel in general. While our stay was not awful, with a little attention to the following details, it would have been a lot better. The noise level was very high with presure washers and weed eaters etc. at all hours. The noise from aircraft taking and landing at extremely... More

I just came back from Contadora island, we travelled in a party of four (between Dec 2 and 4, 2011) and we were very satisfied with the overall experience. We flew from Albrook airport via Aeroperlas (At USD 138.38 p/p round trip) and were the only 4 onboard the plane, so we felt very much as if we had chartered... More

You can´t get better on the island. In my opinion food was fresh and great. All the meals were very good. The cooker, Mr. Roberto Sate could easily be a Chef! It´s a pitty that everything closes at 10:00pm, but you can go to Gerald´s for a last drink, use the free hotel wi-fi in your laptop or just watch... More

yes the property has seen better days, makes you wish that you could have stayed there 20 years ago and seen it in its prime. This is a beautiful location with great views of white sand beaches and several of the surrounding pearl islands. If you are looking for 5 star this probably is not going to work for you,... More
