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.

Great place. Loved the view from my room. Food was great but too pricey. Understandably though. Staff was very friendly. The only thing is that they should pick up the trash from the beach. Wished I stayed longer though

The property is simple and nice. You can't beat the location! Being right on the beach was fabulous. There were plenty of beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas available and staff were eager and happy to set them up for us. Breakfast was included (fruit, eggs/omelet, juice, coffee) at the restaurant onsite. We did lunch one day at the beach bar and dinner one night in the restaurant. The food was average/good and seemed to be typical prices for an island. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We stayed in Room 1, and the view was absolutely breathtaking—a stunning way to take in the beauty of Isla Contadora. The room was spacious and clean, and the piña coladas were delicious. The hotel clearly had its glory days, and the charm is still there, but it could benefit from some updates. There are cracked walls and windows, a leaky sink pipe, and the banister on the balcony of Room 1 needs immediate repair—it poses a real safety concern. A fresh coat of paint and general maintenance would go a long way in restoring its former splendor. While the food was good, prices are on the high side compared to other great options on the island. For the price of the rooms, a complimentary bottle of water would be a thoughtful touch. That said, the location, views, and overall atmosphere made it worth the stay—with a little TLC, this place could truly shine again.

We particularly liked Mar Y Oro as it is in the center of the island and belongs to one of the most beautiful beaches, Playa Cacique. The Bellavista Suite we booked has the only best sea view room in the hotel and a large circular terrace with classic-style railings. Viewed from the terrace, the vast blue sea, blue sky, silvery beach, and tropical scenery are simply a paradise on earth! The food at Mar Y Oro is considered to be the best on the island. We ate all our meals here, and we witnessed the fishermen bringing the fish caught from the sea to the hotel, so we ordered a garlic Mahi Mahi dish for dinner. Served with coconut milk rice, it is tender and delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth. The service staff here are very warm and friendly, and some can speak English, so there is no language problem. The hotel's decoration design style is unique, as if you are in a mysterious movie world, everything is charming and beautiful.

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).
