Great place for dinner. We arrived on Feb 14, hoping to get a table for valentines dinner. The staff were very accommodating even though we had no reservation. We were seated at a nice central table with great views. The meals were delicious and plentiful. The staff are friendly and attentive. All in all the evening was memorable. For our final night, we returned here for dinner. As usual, the meals were delicious. The live entertainment was nice as the guitarist was witty and proficient. It was a fun evening, for sure. Would recommend a meal here.
The island is beautiful and the location cannot be better, but the staff really makes this place amazing. From breakfast to dinner the food was great. I had never visited Panama and had no idea what to expect, this place is a little slice of perfection. If you have any hesitation, as I did, book your trip with confidence.
Excellent hotel. Very happy with what we got for our money. The food was a bit hit or miss in terms of value for money but it was all delicious. Clean and functional although basic room which was kindly cleaned for us while we were out. Amazing nearby beach ( maybe the best on the island? ). Hotel Mar y Oro made our long weekend getaway on Contadora one to remember - thank you!!
We wanted to have lunch, cocktails and enjoy the beach. We were not staying at the hotel. The waiter was super nice. I felt he was working very hard to keep up with all the stuff they had him doing like running a bar, waiting tables, getting umbrellas, chairs and kayaks. The unfortunate part is that a very small average cocktail was 13 dollars. That seemed high for what we got. We will go back, but just to enjoy the public beach. Too bad because we have been eating and drinking out a lot while we are here.
