Pearl Islands, Panamá Province hotel rooms at the Independent

"Service and hotel were excellent, all the employees were great, and the food exquisite. The sea just flawless, I will recommend it "

"Property is a low level bodega with several rooms attached. I was shown to a room that had two beds. The lock on the door was not working well, very difficult to open or shut. I went to take a shower and realized there was no shower head. I went to turn on the one lamp in the room and found no switch, it had to be plugged into the wall to go on or un plugged for off. When the staff was confronted wit these inadequate conditions and a change of room, I was told it would cost more."

"This hotel was overpriced and the website photos are deceiving. The outdoor pool was small and dirty as well as outdoor seating unclean. There was no drinking water in the rooms (tap water unsafe) and water bottles were $5. There was no one to greet us, check us in, or help with things to do on the island. The beach was dirty. Wi fi was great though. Overall disappointing. "

"A great place to stay on Isla Contadora! Staff and servers excellent especially Lilia & Carla hostess 👏 great communication with Jonathan on WhatsApp would definitely recommend GERALDs"

"The staff and Toni were awesome and very helpful. They went out of the way with suggestions such as restaurants, beaches etc"

"The location was absolutely exquisite. Once a high end destination, it had fallen into disrepair and is now lovingly being restored to its former condition. Each room has a private unobstructed view of the sea. Inspiring quiet elegant artfully simplistic. This property is a diamond in the rough. The owners are hard at work improving the details of all aspects of this rare and beautiful blossom. The staff is charming helpful and talented at their tasks. They made us feel like family. We loved...
