Oceanfront Villa on Contadora - Internet, Satellite and a Safe

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Book by week or by day until June 30, 2024. From that date on, the minimum length of stay is 30 nights.

Perched overlooking Playa Galeon (Isla Contadora's best beach), is a group of 27 villas, which include all the comforts and conveniences of 21st-century living.

The Villas at Contadora are located on the north side of the island, within easy walking distance from the airport, hotels, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.

This villa is a delightful 2 bedroom style condo within the complex, and is situated right next to the pool. This unit sleeps up to 7 (up to 4 adults and 3 children).

This unit comes with its own private 1050 gallon water system, which ensures you will not run out of water during your stay.
Villa 24 has a safe on the premises that allows for peace of mind when spending many hours at the beach each day, as it is comforting to know that your passports and valuables are secure. The Villa also has direct high speed Internet that provides both a strong wireless signal as well as a direct ethernet connection.

Unique Benefits: The island is small enough that everything is within walking distance, although the most common mode of transport is a golf cart. Everybody seems to know everybody that's regular, but only a few tourists seem to come here. A great place to come and escape. The Shah of Iran came here after the revolution.

Having a place on Contadora Island has provided me the perfect place to spend quality time with my 3 young children in an ultra safe environment. Contadora is a Pacific hideaway of Panama's wealthy. The peace and tranquility of the island allows me to relax and unwind. The beautiful white sand beaches and crystal clear water amount to a tropical paradise.

Excellent place to relax and decompress
What a great little beach villa in a nice international community. It was a perfect place to relax after 12 days of travel. Food at the local restaurants (in walking distance) was excellent. There isn’t much to do on the island other than be a beach bum, lay by the pool, snorkel or scuba. It was 2 well needed days away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The host was quick to respond to all messages.

We are a family of 4 with 2 young kids. This Villa is amazing. It has everything you need. It’s a quick two minute walk down a bunch of stairs to an amazing beach. Which we had to ourselves during the week. The Villa is close to the airport but there are barely any flights during the week. Many people come in for the w-e so there are lots of flights on friday during the day but they dont really disturb. The island does get a lot busier during the w-e so best to visit monday to thursday for a quieter experience. And recommend bringing your own sand toys and snorkle gear. We rented a golf cart for the 4 of us and it was perfect to get around the island. We were skeptical about the beds as per previous reviews, the queen bed was very comfortable, and the two single beds were a little bit on the softer side but were great for the kids. Maritza picked us up from the ferry. Which she charged us $10 after dropping us off (which we didnt know about) but was fine cause she gave us a whole tour of the island. We had discussed with her for driving us back to the ferry on our departure date for the same price and she confirmed she would pick us up at 2:30 for a 3:30 ferry departure. At 3:00 she wasnt there (e called but no answer) so we panicked and hitch hiked and made it on time thankfully. This was the only negative part our trip. The pool is right behind the villa and we had the pool to ourselves all week. Over all, this Villa is really great.

The place was okay, the stairs are very steep and the lady who greeted us did not speak any English.

Wonderful beach access great for 2 people
The property is a great location, with easy close access to a wonderful beach. Maritza was wonderful, helpful and a great source of information. As other reviewers have noted, the twin beds and sofa couch are useless, so truthfully it just sleeps 2 people together in one bed. The house is otherwise well equipped.

Better look for hotel room
This is Villa with 3 non comfortable beds in total and only suitable for max of 3 separate people or 4 if two of them is a couple. For extra 20$ you can get your bed sheet change or a bit cleaning one of floors. Comunication is terrrible. I booked thru hotels.com they transfered me to vrbo where they said because I do not have acc with them I must contact the owner or if I do not like I can cancel booking and sleep somewhere else. Well I stayed but one of our friend slept on the sofa downstairs in the kitchen...lucky she was not tall and was able to fit. Why they advertising that possible to sleep 7 people? Of course you can add 20 people if they sleep everywhere...on the floors and in balcony or terrace. Swimming pool is in comon area (not private as looks like in pictures) Internet always brakes. Very not stable. House really needs to be repainted and beds changed. Imagine you are sleeping your head down all the time. Owner should try to sleep in one of the beds and feel it. For the price we paid we should get at least daily cleaning.

Gorgeous island stay!
Our cottage was cute, clean and comfy and the ocean views spectacular! Contadora is a very quiet island without a lot of extracurricular activities- a great place to go if you are looking to get away from the rush of daily life. We’d love to return!

Great location, close to beaches, restaurants. The owner and caretaker were great. LOVED the deck for lounging and soaking up the great weather. Only reason for 4 star rating is a few more amenities would have been appreciated. A rug by the floor to get rid of sand, maybe an iron or hairdryer, etc. This seemed common in Panama, so need to be more prepared!
