Contadora Island Inn

Stayed 2 nts @ end of April 2022. Had to wait a half hour for their transportation to the inn from the ferry dock although it's less than a mile away. This property is sometimes referred to as the Hotel Contadora Island Inn. The word 'Hotel' is misleading as this is basically just a home where several rooms have been rented out. Upon check-in the owner informed us that there was no breakfast due to Covid. This is understandable, but putting out juice, fruit, or bread for the guests would have been welcome. Also, there is no bottled water on the property. Instead guests are told to walk down to Angelina's Restaurant to buy water. Not a long walk, but it's down a steep hill. Not good for anyone with mobility issues. Simply having bottled water/soft drinks available for sale on site would have been a nice touch. Finally, although our ferry back to PTY was due at 3.30 pm, the owner drove us to the ferry dock a full hour and a half early. Why? Because unbeknownst to us he has a side job of helping coordinate the ferry departures. So we sat around in the heat for 1-1/2 hrs for no good reason. It's one thing to hang a shingle calling your business an Inn. It's quite another to provide the minimum degree of hospitality and service that guests expect. Unfortunately, the Contadora Island Inn missed the mark.

This was booked by our travel agent, and is a pretty simple place. Very quiet, as is the entire island. Our breakfast was to be included and Roxana confirmed that, yet at the end of our trip (just prior to her taking us to the dock) Roxana made us pay $36 for breakfast. Not cool. TV was out "due to rain". Also, we rented a golf cart for 1 day ($70) which ended up running out of juice within the first 3 hours. Got a replacement golf cart with steering issues. Decided to try again ($70) for our next 24 hours, and recieved the first one back.The island is beautiful and remote, 2 restruants open (off season). No water available at property. Property is a tad disappointing!

Excelente la estadía, el trato de Roxana, nos agradó su amabilidad lo recomiendo mejor que cualquier hotel 5 estrellas ya que ella tiene un don de gente y siempre atenta, tiene una capacidad de atención bien humana, bien recomendada
