Family hotels and homes in Contadora

I liked everything. The place was charming, the rooms were clean and comfortable, breakfast was lovely. Most of all, Nicola was exceptionally kind and helpful, assisting us to rent a golf cart and arrange for a snorkeling trip as well as telling us many things about the island. She went well above the usual level of customer service.

A clean and well maintained hotel, located on the beach front with excellent beach bar. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

It is where I feel most at home. The staff, the other visitors - it seems to attract people I appreciate. And it is right close to My Private Beach (yes, if we can change the gulf of Mexico to you knowwhat, please can i change Playa de Las Suecas to Playa de Giselle?!)

Nice outdoor seating area, lovely breakfast included. Owner was great, offered us a ride to/from ferry. There are a couple of restaurants on the same street

Fully equiped kichen. Very clean. tap water is salty and they provide a big bottle of water. Prompt reply from the host and helper. 3 mins away from the new ferry pier (Aug 2023). charge reasonable price for extended time.

Robert and his wife were excellent, nothing was too much trouble. The place was very stylish and very relaxing. Breakfast was delicious. 15 minute walk to the beach.

Great hosts! Bryan and Cristina were full of helpful information and incredibly nice, pleasant people. We traveled midweek and during the rainy season...the tranquility and lack of crowds was perfect for a relaxing retreat. The beach right next to the hotel was empty and picturesque, except for the plastic trash that washed ashore! Stop being so lazy and gross, humans!! :))

For a relaxing getaway with stunning views, El Remanso is the perfect choice. Our stay was magical, with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and a serene atmosphere. (The photos do not do it enough justice). I visited to celebrate my birthday, and to my delight, the team prepared a special surprise for me! A heartfelt thank you to Hanik and Ehran, who were exceptional hosts. Their warmth and attentiveness made our experience unforgettable, especially with the upgrade to a spectacular room and great activity recommendations. The hotel is beautiful, located by what we believe is the most pristine beach on the island. Our spacious room was well-equipped, and waking up to the ocean view was a highlight. The shared kitchen is a nice touch for meal prep. I recommend bringing food for breakfasts and snacks. You might consider packing items to make sandwiches and purchasing the spectacular baguette from La Choza, which is just a short walk from the hotel. Their food is fantastic! That said, don’t miss La Choza, a delightful restaurant run by Jean-Baptiste and Eli, offering delicious local cuisine in a cozy, welcoming setting. I also recommend exploring the trail between the beach at Saboga Lodge and La Choza beach. The path, surrounded by rocks, nature, and the ocean, truly makes you feel like you’re in a scene from Star Wars. If you decide to walk to find the 500-year-old tree, be sure to bring mosquito repellent, as it can be quite helpful. Good luck finding it—we weren’t able to locate it ourselves! Without a doubt, El Remanso is a hidden gem. We’re already dreaming of our next visit to this slice of paradise!

Great location - 2,5h from Panama City. Quiet isolated island. Great beaches. Staff was very helpful. Good food. It is nice place to stay 2-3 nights to really rest.
