The hotel is charming and well appointed situated on a beautiful beach. The staff very helpful and the on site restaurant is very good. In addition there are a few more very good restaurants on the island. The 2 hour ferry ride was easy and pleasant. The breakfast included was very good.

Ubicación y vista espectacular. La atención muy bien y pedimos habitación con vista al mar y fue increíble, amplia, limpia.

Great beach and friendly staff

Mustve been nice 10 years ago. Kinda let go property. They literally turned off every light at 9pm outside the property. So you cant really hang out after that cause its pitch dark. No one at lobby after that time, we had an emergency and couldnt reach anyone

The staffs are excellent. The staffs are supper caring. The property could use some updating, showing signs of aging. Location is excellent. The property is located on the best beach of the island. Nice beach area.

Perfect location and amazing dtaff

We spent a great weekend! The staff was very kikd and helpful.

El personal muy amable y profesional, siempre atentos a contestar y resolver los requerimientos.

Everything in this hotel is grey from the room,staff,and the food the best!!!

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Mar y Oro! Abel and the hotel manager and the restaurant staff go above and beyond to ensure a fabulous stay! We will dream about our time on the island until we can return again! Island shuts down early - this was a learning curve but be sure you have dinner by 7!

Loved it. Beautiful location.

No, we had a room further back with only a few steps to view the ocean.

room oversaw the beach, great place to relax and reflect. quiet, peaceful and a wonderful get away.

Mar Y Oro exceeded our expectations. The location was exceptional -the beach was pristine-with good snorkeling right there.at low tide it was best. The beach is huge, your stay includes beach lounge chairs and and umbrellas. The room (queen room with patio view) was bigger than expected with a smart TV. The walls in the bathroom (and some outside walls) were covered with shells-(plastic I assume) which very unique. A few were missing here and there, but no big deal. The breakfast was delicious and the dinners here and the so were the dinners-especially the seafood pasta which had as much seafood as it did pasta. The staff were helpful and helped us arrange a boat ride. A pick up and drop off to and from the ferry is included also. iWe would definitely stay there again should we return and highly recommend 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.

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.

The staff is very helpful in every way. They pick you up at the airstrip and will also drive you there after checkout.

Great staff...great location.. clean...will return for sure.

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.

We had a lovely time at Mar Y oro. The beaches, staff and food were all excellent we will definitely be back. PS rent a golf cart to explore the island
