“Island Paradise”
Location is awesome, Right above the water to jump in at any time. Snorkeling can be done at the „house riff“ under the cabanas. Staff was very helpful and food was great (3 meals are served daily). There is a tour planned everyday to different islands. Also a nice beach (and bar) just around the corner.

Very special place to be, great hosts, great food, beautiful surroundings. The accommodation is basic so if that is a problem for you, don’t go here. But if you don’t mind then you will have a amazing and unique experience

“Become one with nature and the beauty of it”
Location is great and we loved the food they served, in itself and especially compared to other locations in San Blas and on this island.

“Don’t hesitate to book for comfortable San Blas experience!”
Amazing stay. The people here are so kind and friendly, welcoming and helpful. They made so much effort to ensure I was comfortable. The Accomodation is clean and as pictured with a private bathroom. Of course basic but if planning a trip to San Blas you need to manage your expectations! I booked at short notice and everything was arranged so smoothly, very easy process for transfer from Panama City. The food was delicious. Beach on the island very nice and the excursions were excellent. I highly recommend booking this place! The price includes all meals and boat from the port. Car from Panama City and taxes are extra but not expensive.

“Once in a lifetime experience for our honeymoon!”
We stayed for one night of our honeymoon. It was the perfect place to get away from it all, totally secluded in paradise. The staff and people on the island were so welcoming and friendly, the food was simple but delicious and so fresh. We really enjoyed lovely coconuts, cocktails and drinks from the local community shops. The excursion to another island was fantastic with coral reefs with huge amounts of sealife and we even saw dolphins on the way there and back! Even on the island itself, there was plenty of sealife to see. The transportation booking was so easy and I think it was such good value as it was included with the room price. We were surprised that we weren't bitten by mosquitoes at all nor did we see one. Everything met the description - you'll be happy as long as you know this is basic. If you really want a once a lifetime experience, this is it! I would 100% recommend staying here!

“Highlight of our stay in Panama”
The staff was super friendly and helpful, and you can't beat the view being right on the water! The island itself has so much to offer in terms of pristine water and water activities (swimming, snorkeling, etc) and we also loved the daily excursions they took us on to other nearby islands for just an additional $3 per person per excursion.

“A Little Paradise”
We liked the people who welcomed us most kindly and who did everything to make our stay absolutely wonderful. It was an honour for us that the Kuna Yala let us stay on their island. Every day we were served fresh food directly from the ocean. They also organized trips for us to other islands on a daily basis. Our hut was on the water on pillars and we could watch fish from our verandah. Of course, the place with its beautiful sandy beach is kind of isolated but that was what we were looking for.

“Almost Paradise (with reality-check)”
Insane view, beautiful underwater directly ahead of the building, almost paradise (with reality-check: lots of trash, 3 meals to choose from, almost no power (only USB)), daily trips (2-4h) snorkeling and islands (3€ p.P.),

“Great property, family and island- waste and rubbish disposal is a major issue and I was surprised”
Accommodation on water and as expected. We were well looked after for three nights- meals were great portions, simple and basic but tasty. Everything was as we expected and enjoyed our stay

“A unique and beautiful experience”
lovely stay! it was a truly special experience to stay with the kuna people and learn about their history and culture. San Blas is extremely beautiful and it was included to go on daily trips. The hosts were very kind and the food was over expectations. As long as you are fine to live very simple, I recommend this to anyone :)

Going to San Blas was the cherry on top in the end of our trip. The kindness of our hosts was remarkable, the place is beautiful, and although you have to be prepared to have no luxuries, everything was pretty fine for us, the bed was confortable and we had water to wash the salt out of our bodies in the evening. It's a go!
