Set on Contadora Island, the 5-star La Romantica operates as a bed and breakfast with free WiFi and a complimentary shuttle service to and from Tocumen International Airport, 62 km away. Each room is fitted with a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and a private bathroom, with some offering a terrace or balcony. Guest rooms include a King Room with Balcony or a Deluxe Double or Twin Room, and feature a fridge, tea/coffee maker, and allergy-free options. A continental breakfast is served each morning at La Romantica, often on the back patio overlooking a wooded valley where deer and iguanas gather. The property provides an onsite spa with massage treatments including full body, foot, and neck massages, plus a hot tub and sun umbrellas. Leisure activities such as snorkelling and canoeing are popular in the area, and car hire is available through the hotel. The nearest beaches are a seven-minute walk away, and the neighbourhood includes several restaurants within a five-minute walk. La Romantica offers family rooms, board games, a shared lounge/TV area, and a tour desk, while high-speed WiFi, concierge service, and safety deposit boxes are available throughout.
Pros
Breakfast is served on a private back balcony with views of the forest, where deer and neques graze daily.
The host, Robert, provides a free shuttle from the ferry and airport, and offers helpful local advice.
Rooms are spacious with effective air conditioning, comfortable beds, and modern showers.
The property is close to several beautiful beaches (e.g., Playa Larga) and restaurants like Restaurante Angelina.
Cons
The hotel sits on top of a hill, so reaching the beach or restaurants requires long uphill or downhill walks without a golf cart.
Some rooms with direct access to the shared terrace have limited privacy, requiring curtains kept closed.
