“Absolutely wonderful”

Everything was wonderful—the location was beautiful and peaceful, the atmosphere was cozy, Irina’s food was delicious, and the conversations with Jean-Pierre were enjoyable. I’d like to thank them for the wonderful welcome here. This place is definitely worth a visit.

A unique experience! We were first surprised and worried right after our booking but Irina's kitchen and Jean-Pierre kindness in a surreal landscape fully convinced us! Some places are over hyped, this place is clearly under. If you hesitate go and check, totally worth it.

“Quiet and simple corner of paradise”

The location is amazing if you're looking for a quiet time, walking on an almost empty beach, swimming undisturbed in the ocean, watching the sun rise up from the water, having a drink at the sunset, gazing at the stars at night, listening to the waves, enjoying great food... The hosts Pierre and Irina are great at making the stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible for all guests, and they make everyone feel welcome in this little corner or paradise :)

“Awesome place and lovely hosts”

Too many tourists at Playa Venao? Here you have a beach at Sunrise & Sunset alone for yourself, which is even more beautiful and located in a nature protected area. Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed my time on Isla Cañas!

“Little paradise on Isla Canas”

The location and the property are amazing. Cabanas, hammocks and tents are eco friendly. Irina and Jean Pierre are great hosts and the clubhouse is great for dinners. You can cook yourself of be served great food and drinks.

Very good communication with hosts whom are also very caring and nice.

“Chill and beach”

The hosts were really friendly, they responded our Messages very fast. the place is beautiful and chill.

They take care of turtles, nice beach

Beautiful location. No luxery, but that’s what we liked the most. The hosts and animals where amazing. Feels like you are at home. The food really special and good. Stars at night and quiet. GO!

“Fabulous relax nature experience! Baby turtles and eggs. Natural life in huts, wonderful food.”

We arrived by boat (Jean Pierre picked us up) and it was an amazing experience. They have a large property and different huts- for eating, living lodges and two showers. I loved our hut, the showers and toilet hut, they are all natural, made of coconut materials, from palm trees and leaves, coconut shells, with attention to details. You get water and electricity from sunlight, you get a very special experience of calm, close to nature stay, relaxing.🤩 Irina is an amazing cook, I highly recommend to take lunch and dinners, you will get great fresh cooked food, healthy and nutritious. With touch of European cuisine and all local ingredients. Also jams and lemonade from own grown fruits 🫶 The best part was of course the turtle - we were lucky and even at the end of turtle egg season we saw at night a big turtle (species verde) laying eggs. Jean Pierre is an amazing guide, he explains how turtles lay eggs, how the orient themselves, details of behavior and how we can preserve them. The turtle nest nursery on the hostel territory has nests and we witness two days in a row birth of baby turtles and released them. 🐢👌🙏🏻 We are so thankful that Jean-Pierre and Irina let us join the process fully. Not only watching, but digging, picking eggs and baby turtles. After this experience I feel that I was 100% part of it. This is fantastic experience 👏🏻 thank you! During the day we were swimming oder kayaking through the mangroves.

“Wonderful place, wonderful people”

The highlight of our trip to Panama, it's like heaven on earth. Jean Pierre and Irina are wonderful people and everything was perfect. We didn't want to leave. We were lucky to see both laying and hatching turtles with Jean Pierre, and the lagoon was bioluminescent during our stay.

A stay at Pachamama ist a great experience. Located in the middle of Isla Cañas it is surrounded by two water fronts with a wonderful beach and lots of coconut trees. Jean-Pierre and Irina are wonderful hosts, so that you feel welcome at any point. They put lots of effort building up the place with little Palm tree houses as accomodation. But the tent is a great budget option. Facilities are simple but clean and everything you need. Really enjoyed my stay and would come back any time!

It was the perfect location to disconnect. It feels like an abundant island to connect with the nature. If you want to stay alone at the beach and enjoy yourself, that’s the perfect place. The owners are very warm, welcoming and care about everyone that comes around. It’s a place where simplicity overrules comfort but in a good way. Our cabaña was clean and isolated from the rest to fully enjoy been kind of isolated. Something to point out is that you pre-booked dinner will be served and enjoyed together with the other residence. The offered meals aren’t too costly and delicious. They serve cold Atlas Beer in the Color of Panama and France 👍

“Beautiful location - horrible customer service - exploiting location”

The island is beautiful and the village has nice people, bars, restaurants, minimarkets, public boat going through the mangroves... And we even saw the bioluminescence in the ocean one night.

“Absolutely the highlight of my Panama trip!!”

Fantastic location. Amazing elevated hut with comfy bed, right on the beach. You can see and hear the Pacific from your bed. Your own hammocks underneath the hut. Surrounded by hundreds of palmtrees, and only the sound of birds and the ocean. Irina and Jean Pierre are wonderful hosts. The great communication and help to get there, the pick up (by boat!), all went perfect because of them. I felt really welcome. Irina is a master chef if you ask me. She prepares the most fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner you can imagine. Definitely worth the extra money! I love going to places that are a little out of the ordinairy and Pachamama is definitely one of the best I've been to so far. From the community area, till the outdoorshowers. The unique toilethut with its own palm lane... Higly recommended!!

“Great guys”

The guys running this place are doing a great job! The turtle seeking is an interesting one. They have a nursery for turtles and try to help baby turtles, keep up the great work! If in doubt, just go for it! The way to the lodge is awesome. If you're lucky your guide will spot you some boa constrictors! An other plus is you've got the beach for yourself over the day. Other facilities are great (for the price you pay)!

“Natural environment, friendly helpful people.”

Great natural environment. Everything on the spacious terrain is made in a natural en sustainable way. Jean Pierre and Irina are friendly and helpful people. Irina is a great cook and Jean Pierre guided us to see the turtles. We enjoyed our stay!

Great hosts. A place like Paradise. Delicious breakfast and dinner (order in advance!).

“amazing nature experience”

it’s far away from all the tourist places and a great place to relax and disconnect
