Excellent service, attentive staff, very clear English communication, very organized. The food at the restaurant was excellent - fresh, organic and tasted great. We had 5 or 6 meals there and everything was great! Highly recommend! Given how remote and small the island is (population less than 200), it’s remarkable that this facility offers such high quality. Air conditioning is top notch and our room was very comfortable.

Really nice hotel on a wonderful little island

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly at this clean hotel. Food at the restaurant is solid, especially given the limited good options on the island. The hotel is a bit dated, mostly outside of the rooms. I would highly recommend this hotel as the beach is great, close to the airport/port and store (not that the island is big to begin with).

The staff were awesome. I was amazed by the seemingly long days worked by the manager who remained so warm and courteous. The food was good with many drink options. An old building that was tasteful and located right next to a serene beach of powder sand and clear blue waters. Many beach chairs and umbrellas to lounge under. A nice tall ceiling in the suite with cool air conditioning and a fan. The staff seamlessly book golf carts for guests which was a fun way to cruise around the island. The surrounding area feels safe and welcoming, everyone was so kind to my friend and I. Isla Contadora is a gem and I'm happy with my choice to stay at Mar Y Oro.

Food was great . Limited but very good . Service was terrific . The staff is friendly and full of smiles! Don’t go to the beach on weekends! The 4x4 trucks constantly driving by , making a day at the beach quite unpleasant. The hotel itself is in desperate need of a facelift! Rooms need to be painted, holes in the wall patched , and a good scrub to the black mold on the beams in the bathroom. The whole place really needs to be updated ! Overall, we enjoyed our stay even if overpriced.
