Mar Y Oro

If you are going to Contadora Island this a the perfect place to stay. They pick you up at the ferry dock in a golf cart. We had booked a king room with ocean view and it was great - large and we loved the mirrored window that allowed us to see out but no one to see in during the day. If coming by ferry you arrive well before check in but they have a washroom where you can change, and you can use the facilities and restaurant. They’ll keep your luggage in the office area for you. When your room is ready (ours was well before check in time) they’ll let you know so you can move in. The food at the restaurant was very good- we had planned to eat off site but we couldn’t find any where else with a better setting or food (based on reviews and what we saw walking around) so we continued to eat at the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful.

There is no pool on site- so the ocean is your only option and while we were there, there were some stinging creatures at low tide (possibly jellyfish?), so you had to be careful.

La chambre très spacieuse avec vue sur mer, un très bon petit déjeuné inclus

La plage privée est très bien équipée en chaises longues et parasols mais dommage que toute la journée des quads passent devant pour se rendre sur la plage du coup le charme est rompu. Le restaurant très bon mais très cher

La amabilidad y buena predisposición del personal de hotel… es necesario destacar

El personal muy amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar!!

Absolutely prefect location on a beautiful beach. The hotel is charming with lovely rooms and really nice staff. Delicious breakfast each morning looking out at the ocean.

A note to parents: kids under 6 only stay for free if they sleep in your bed. We arrived thinking a cot was free (had contacted the hotel in advance), but found out only when we arrived that it's an additional $40. Just something to be aware of when you select a room. Overall a really great place for families.

The location is fantastic! The staff were warm, friendly, and helpful.
