My wife and I just returned from a three day stay at the Inn and we were not disappointed. As noted in the prior reviews, the island is small, so getting around is easy. We took the ferry out from the causeway in Panama City and were met by Toni at the beach (there is no dock, you transfer from... More

We visit Contadora Island Inn about once a year, and wish we could make it out more often, we are never disappointed by the comfortable rooms, the wonderful service and location! This past December we had our wedding in Panama City and then brought about 25 friends out with us to Contadora, and stayed in Contadora Island Inn and another... More

A really good place to stay. Melinda, the owner, is gracious and so helpful. Going again I would opt for the larger room if possible. The hot water in the shower was difficult to adjust, giving you either a very hot shower or a rather cold one. Would also suggest they add hair dryers and low sand chairs for the... More

Melinda, the owner, and Tony, the manager, could not have been more gracious and helpful. The rooms were spotless, and we felt much more comfortable in a home-like setting than in a hotel. Breakfast was melon and pineapple, followed with eggs, toast and coffee, so you get a real breakfast, not a 'continental' one. We had one problem with a... More

This small inn is located on Isla Contadora in Panama's Pearl Islands (Islas de las Perlas). As if that were not enough, it is owned by a young couple from Europe, one of whom, Melinda, speaks fluently English, Spanish, Italian, French, Hungarian and Romanian, and is also conversant in Mandarin, having spent years in Taipei, where she earned a master's...

The Contadora Island Inn was wonderful. The rooms were spotless and the breakfast was very good. It was so comfortable, like a home away from home. The atmosphere was friendly and casual. Tony gave each tourist his attention and time. He went out of his way to help us and other guests, above and beyond his responsibilities. The Island itself... More

We found the positive reviews about this B&B and Tony to be consistant with our expectations. We would choose CII again or recommend it to our friends. The only problem we had was the ferry from Panama city - the ferry schedule posted at our Panama City hotel with departure times for weekdays included Tue. and Wed.- but there is... More
