“A beautiful place”

Reviewed 17 May 2013

My wife and I had lunch at this hotel last week. The restaurant is right on a beautiful beach. The setting is uniquely beautiful and pleasant with the transparent water and rocky cliffs which surround it. New tents have been installed with nice long chairs underneath. One can see the beautiful Bartolomé Key in the background, and in the right... More

“Pleasant surprise”

Having some time this past weekend to explore Panama, I took the ferry to Contadora and landed on Galeon Beach. This has been much improved from my visit months ago.

I went this past weekend to Contadora with some friends. I had not been there in years. It was the perfect weekend getaway. The hotel had ocean view all around it, including the room.

I recently stayed at The Point with some friends and it was great. As soon as we got on the property the staff was on top of everything. They were very friendly and made you feel right at home.

“A dump with the price of a resort- HUGE disappointment!”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

It truly upsets me to think about how much money I spent on Contadora for my big vacation. The shower did not drain, thus flooding the bathroom. We used the two towels they gave us to dry the floor and when we went to request more towels they said there were no more. We then went two days without towels.... More

My family recently visited The Point on one of their Beach Day trips. They had just open their new cafe on the beach. There is an Italian lady who made us a wonderful cheese calzone. Delicioso! We had our lunch right there on the beach and continued to enjoy the sun. My husband and I sipped on rum punches in... More

“Needs alot of TLC”

The point had to be really spectacular in it's day. I can see where they're trying to bring it back to it's former glamor, but right now they have a long way to go. But, when they say location location this resort is in the very best location. The rooms all face the beaches and watching the sunset from your... More

“Perfect setting”

Reviewed 25 February 2013

The Point has comfortable rooms with nice appointments and a good bed and sufficient space, but the biggest attraction is the unbeatable setting. The resort is built on a point, hence the name, and all units look out on the water at the north end of Isla Contadora. All have balconies on the water side with small tables for sitting... More

“12 years ago this place was upscale”

Reviewed 28 January 2013

This hotel really needs some attention, some areas can be classified as unsafe. The wood walkways have deteriorated to the point of being unsafe. The pool is half full with yellow water. The rooms are small and the bathrooms are very dated. The help is very nice and accommodating. The food is average but very overpriced.

Dear Guest, Your rating of a 1, I hope is not due to a fault of service but the result of a strong conviction of the title of the review, again hoping that we did provide a service was of a higher rating. You definitely right when you say it was better 12 years ago, however we are working to... More
