Once we arrived to Contadora which was an experience on it's own...best to speak to hotel owner about how to book flights to Contadora as we did not pre-book prior to arriving in Panama City. Not a good decision as the ferry was booked solid, and the flights dodgy. We arrived a day late to Contadora due to the in... More

I want to confirm the positive observations about the location and the personalized building style of the B & B. All the hardware is there to make it wonderful. However it is crystal clear that the house needs a permanent dedicated manager. The kind lady we met tried for the best although she definitely has no plans for the future... More

The inn is central to most of the well liked beaches. Quiet setting with a nice courtyard and the sound of the water fountain takes the stresses of city life away. Rooms are very clean and the kitchen suites have lots of room. Bring lots of cash as most of the island restaurants need to be paid this way as... More

After reading the reviews, it became clear to me that people's opinions are sometimes more a reflection on themselves, than anything else. Easy-going people are easy to please, and difficult people are always unhappy, no matter where they are. We were here for 5 nights, at the end of March, and loved every minute of it. Greeted at the ferry... More

Vincente, the substitute manager met us at the landing strip and pointed out the major places on the island on the way to the Inn. We had a very cozy and comfortable room and a good breakfast. Vincente was very nice and helped us many times with questions. All of his carts were out of service as were most of... More

Just stayed for one night as that is all my schedule allowed. Would definitely return. Room was clean, staff was helpful, still needs some upgrading of utilities. Shower needs some more strength. Problems with their reservation system. Manager was a bit preoccupied chatting with guests while I was waiting for my check in

We spent 2 nights at the Perla Real Inn in January 2013. We had a wonderful stay especially due to the managers, Hans and Kathy, who were very helpful, accommodating and went out of their way to give us extra tips and information that was extremely useful for our short stay there. They also recommended great restaurants, beaches and other... More

What a shame that the owners have relinquished what could be a lovely place to rotating unprofessional managers. We were MOST unfortunate to have Kathy and Hans, who seemed more focused on their entertaining their the guests. It was the worst stay in ALL the years we have been travelling and the first time we actually HAD to leave before... More

Pleasant mangers Hans and Kathy - very welcoming. The rooms were large but dated needs to be upgraded. One AC in our two rooms did not keep rooms cool. Shower was HOT with excellent pressure. In my opinion not worth the cost charged for the room. Breakfast was very nice fresh fruit, pancakes, eggs, OJ and coffee. There is construction... More
