Mar Y Oro is located in Contadora Island, Panamá. The property offers luggage storage services, a restaurant on site and all is placed in the middle of extensive tropical gardens.

The restaurant, bar, lobby and front desk are all open air, so you feel the beachfront experience as soon as you set foot on the property. Thats a plus in my mind versus a sealed off, over air conditioned meat locker you find in much of Panama and the tropics. Fans and AC in rooms offer individual comfort settings. We apprecaited the variety of room types, several one of a kind. Book early because the coolest rooms weren't available, but our "Ocean View" was nice for 2 nights. It was closest to the lobby so we heard some background noise at times, but not enough to be disruptive anytime. It looks like Garden Rooms may have been recently renovated from the exterior. Photos on the website look a little dreary, but they may not have been updated. You could have breakfast, lunch and dinner on the property if you want. But there are other good places close by. It a small island - everything is close. The cabana bar on the beach serves drinks and food from the main restaurant. Staff were consistantly great, but Erica went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and spoiled. If you don't fly in (which can be as cheap as the ferry) you are at the mercy of one daily arrival and departure, but they work with you to hold or bags. We were lucky to have our room ready when we arrived around 10, but they can't guarantee it. We weren't sure how we'd get the short distance from the dock to the resort, but there were golf carts waiting for their guests.

Offering breathtaking ocean views and an outdoor pool with direct beach access, Villa Condesa Del Mar is located on Contadora Island. Free WiFi is provided.

Super cute island where everyone drives around in a golf cart (highly recommend renting one for at least a day) to explore and just drive around. Picturesque postcards views. Check out Galleon beach for sunset, it’s spectacular. Great food and very comfortable beds/rooms. We celebrated a birthday and they even did a set up in the room which made us feel really special. We recommend!

    The island does have a lot of hills so if you plan on walking be in shape or you will be winded. I like exercise so for me it was great, not hard at all. Mar y oro did pick us up from the port with our luggage. You can also rent a golf cart right at the port where ferry lands, There was 3 small shops for buying things, limited supply and expensive (its an island) plan on bringing everything you need.

    The island is small, and there's not much to do around here.

    The island is small, and there's not much to do around here. No bars or places to hang out after sunset. Restaurants and supermarkets close early; by around 7:30 PM, everything was closed, so we couldn't find anywhere to have dinner. However, we ended up eating at Casa Angelina, and the food there was GREAT. The places here didn't really appeal to us based on their appearance; everything seems a bit neglected and abandoned. Despite that, the food is still excellent, although you wouldn't think so at first glance. On the other hand, the beaches were beautiful. I would recommend renting a golf cart to get around the island.

    Beautiful island . Perfect for family time and relaxing.

    Beautiful island . Perfect for family time and relaxing. Gorgeous, pristine beaches with soft sand and warm water. We mostly ate at our hotel but the food at Pimienta y Sal was really good too. Pimienta y Sal is right on Playa Larga which was my favorite beach of the three we visited. You can rent a golf cart at your hotel to get around the island, which is also very walkable too. Going to contadora next time, I would take one of the small planes that come in daily several times a day, especially if you’re pressed for time to get back to Panama City. The ferri ride is ok but I takes 2 hours each direction. The plane ride is only $20 more and it’s a lot faster. I would have really liked to have had the time to stay a couple days longer. We had a wonderful time!!!

    Contadora Island made an easy get away from Panama City over a weekend during a two week work trip. The ferry to the island was affordable, easy and we even saw humpback whales and dolphins on the way. The beaches I visited on Contadora were clean with beautiful warm water. If I return to Panama City for work again, I am likely to book a trip to Contadora Island again.

    Ferry ride from Panama City was easy, comfortable and safe.

    Ferry ride from Panama City was easy, comfortable and safe. Island is also very safe, with friendly people and beautiful beaches. Renting a golf cart was the right thing to do as it allowed us to explore everything. The tap/shower water smells a bit funky, and there are not a lot of restaurants/food choices, but otherwise great for a few days for our family of three - we came for the gorgeous beaches! The town is very quiet, this is not a party place.

    Contadora Island is beautiful and very safe.

    Contadora Island is beautiful and very safe. The whitish, sandy beaches, and transparent to turquoise water are splendid. The disadvantages are the relatively high ratio of the cost of hotels relative to facilities. Food is very expensive. Restaurants charge European type food prices. In most of the US you would pay less for the meals served on Contadora. Fresh fruit is relatively hard to get on Contadora. If we return to Contadora we will bring fresh fruit and other food from Panama City.

    The room was super comfortable, very clean and spacious, they picked us up at the airport and gave us a tour of the island restaurants and beaches and greeted us with a delicious romantic cocktail. Lauren and Robert were exceptional, they were very attentive to what we needed, they also have a lot of information about the island tours and golf carts, the hotel is a bit far from the beaches but with a golf cart you can go to all parts of the islands. We will be back.

    We had an amazing stay. The hospitality we received upon arrival was beyond and we were extremely well attended to by staff during our stay. They were quick to accommodate anything we needed and the beach/outdoor facilities are the best we’ve stayed at on the island. We’ll be back again when visiting panama for a relaxing vacay

    The staff were pleasant, nice, helpful and talkative. The breakfast was delicious. The location is about a fifteen-minute walkaway from the marina where the ferry stops, but the hotel is a four-minute walkaway from Playa Larga. The sea water was warm at the beach.

    We had a fantastic time here! The beds were very comfortable, and the terrace was a perfect spot to unwind. The best part was the hospitality—Gabriela was so kind and gave us great tips for exploring the island. Highly recommend for a cozy and welcoming stay!
