After visiting Bocas del Toro (which we loved), the San Blas (not so much), we decided to head out to the Pearl Islands for the last two days of our trip to get out of the city. I am only regretful that we didn't find this place first because I would have spent much more time here! Having visited many... More

My friends and I spent two nights at Villa Romantica over a weekend. I absolutely recommend this place for a two day getaway from Panama. The hotel is very well located by one of the best beaches in the island which makes it very pleasant to stay at the beach and go back to the room any time to get... More

When you go to Isla Contadora in the Pearl Islands there is no other place to stay and have a fabulous restful, friendly stay than at the quaint Villa Romantico. Sighted on a perfect sugary sand beach you do not need a vehicle but rent a four wheeler anyway to see a bit of the island. Thanks to the whole... More

The place has potential, although there are many things that can be improved. We stayed for a weekend and really enjoyed the place. If you could stand the limited facilities, you could really enjoy what the island has to offer. I haven't been in other places, but it is still probably one of the best options on the island. The...

Pascal and I spent 3 months organizing and when we arrived he brought in the amazing Adrianne to help as the wedding planner for this... More

We booked our stay 3.5 months in advance. We were picked up from the small island airport promptly and told our room would be ready within the hour. It was 10 am, we knew check-in wasn't until 2pm, we had expected to wait, so this was great. We didn't unpack, didn't hit the beach, just sat in the shade and... More

We spent 3 days on Contadora Island with family members. Booking our rooms was a very difficult task as the receptionist's English was very elementary and their Email address very peculiar. But we understood that they only had a very big room plus an air bed for the first night, and then they would give a room per couple. Pascal's... More

When I tried to book the hotel informed me my two little chihuahua dogs would not be welcome. Please revise your "hotel amenities" to say NO PETS. If only some hotelier would open which is pet tolerant I'd return at lest four time a year.

This was our second trip to the quirky hotel Villa Romantica - and unfortunately our last. This charming beach front hotel has lost its edge under new management. In Room "Carocol 2" our outside door had no door handle - just a key. No hot water showers. The new ferry from Triumph Towers in Panama City bring a boat load... More
