We had a wonderful stay in October. We were the only guests for a few days and they treated us like royalty. You couldn't ask for a better place!

Superb! This whole trip was a honeymoon gift from my parents, and they could not have picked a better place. Quite and apart from the rest of the hotels, villa romantica really steps up to its name. The vista from its restaurant is breath-taking, we saw a hunch back whale jump right there when we werehaving our luch at the restaurant. The room was great, also with a view, very comfortable.

Charlie picked us up at the airport and pritty much was there when we needed anything. The enviroment is not like any hotel, is more "home-ly" . Its perfect for honeymooner, especially during the low season cause its all so quite and romantic. The night are even better and plenty of activities in the island.

My folks, when hearing how good it was, decided to go there the very next month. Im sure they will like it. Villa Romantica is a mix of high class service and food, yet secluded and romantic. Its a Most See!

As most reviews here already say, the Villa Romantica is an excellent choice for lodging if you are staying on Contadora. The entire staff is extremely friendly. The owner, Charlie, will do everything to make you feel welcome and help you out. Our room was extremely clean. The air conditioning worked good. The room had DirectTV satellite television. The beach was clean, and the water clear. It's nice to sit at the restaurant during the day and look out over the ocean. We liked the food at the restaurant, but it was just slightly expensive for our budget. But it's not too outrageous, lunch for 3 cost us $35 (with tip). The only "negative" is the Romantica is located quite far away from the main part of the island, which I call "downtown". That can be good if you want to be isolated from the "crowds". However, as we later found out, Charlie will take you into "town" and come pick you up at whatever time you want.

Here is an example of how Charlie will take care of you. We paid for 2 nights at the hotel. We arrived Thursday at 9 AM. We were leaving on Saturday at 6 PM. I was concerned that we would have to check out of the hotel on Saturday morning or Saturday afternoon since we only paid for 2 days. This would have meant we would have to lug our bags around the island with us while waiting for the airplane. Charlie let us keep our bags in the room until 4:30 when he took us to the airport. Where else will you find a hotel that will do that for you? It was also more than keeping the bags in the room, he insisted we use the room to take a shower and rest up if we wanted to. Charlie and his staff are the epitome of customer service! Other businesses should learn from how these guys do business.

My father and I had the privilage of staying here last month. We had a great time. Charlie and his staff are great hosts and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We had a small problem with the toilet which was promptly fixed. You can't beat the view from the restaraunt! The food was very good! My one and only complaint is the bottled water was a little expensive. I would definitely stay here again!
