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 :)

Nothing! but remember that it is very simple

A beautiful stay with delicious meals and unique daily excursions! a most unique trip.

nothing! it is very rustic so good to be aware of but perfect if you know what you’re in for.

the people were wonderful and very welcoming! the food was excellent!

The surrounding islands are beautiful.

Dirty garbage strewn beaches and water that never seemed to work made the stay less enjoyable than it could have been. And watching the locals load their canoe with garbage and then paddle out in front of our cabana and dump it in the ocean was a shock and disappointment.

Beautiful place. Lovely water and view.

Under construction. Water was on only morning and evening. We were not warned of this.. Very much like camping

Once in lifetime experience! Back to basics, but oh so refreshing! Loved the local food, boat trips and energy of the staff! Take some snacks and wine should you wish to enjoy some.

Cold shower ;)

Ponctual with meals and transport Well organized Daily tours Meals were nice (simple and 3/4 meals were grilled fish)

We paid for a room we only got it on the second night. The first they put us in a more basic room because that was occupied. We realized it later when they changed us to the other room. The first was much smaller poor lighting and the boats docked next to it -noisy

- Beautiful paradise-like place, gorgeous beaches & nature - Very friendly & caring family & people - you live in a Guna village, among the locals so it's a very authentic experience - Great daily excursions (included in the price) - tasty & fresh food (we literally saw our dinner being fished <3)

Like many people wrote already and like you can see on the photos, it's a very simple accommodation, so don't expect any luxury. The rooms don't get cleaned during your stay e.g. Also in our hut, the bathroom was very simple and tended to flood a bit when it rained or when one showers. We solved this by asking for a broom and by sweeping daily to get rid of the water.

very nice staff. amazing beaches & coconut grove. great food. all-inclusive.

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!

Hard to say... if you are a light sleeper maybe i would advice you to bring some earplugs (the ocean can be...noisy) and a sleep mask :)

Absolutely mesmerizing! The view is so gorgeous

It was a treat to experience the island with the wonderful kuna people. This was a humble & authentic way to emerge into the culture and the way of island living. The resources were limited, but we were prepared and the reviews helped. If you visit the island with the expectation that the people are doing their best to accommodate your modern needs and with the appreciation that this is a truly a unique experience, you have set foot in paradise! I wished I have packed more booze, more small change & playing cards, games. There is no TV.., lol

The staff was wonderful

They are upgrading the facility and we got “caught” in this,so food was brought to our outside space,but it made it difficult to connect to people

A once-in-a-lifetime experience! It was truly incredible living with the Guna people for a few days, this tiny community made us feel right at home. The hut was basic, but we made it our own. Cannot even describe how beautiful the San Blas Islands were, the fact that the excursions were all included and gave us plenty of time to explore other islands was an added bonus. We were a little worried about vegetarian options for food as my friend is vegetarian, however she was given large amounts of food, so no complaints. It was sad when we had to leave! A word of advice; this is not a luxury stay nor it is intended to be. It's island living in its most simple form. The showers are basic, and you probably won't get the sand and salt out of your hair until you're on the mainland again - but if you're open-minded and just want to experience adventure none of this matters at all. If you'd rather a completely comfortable stay, this might not be for you, although I couldn't recommend it enough.

The one thing that could be improved upon could be the communication pre-check in. I had multiple questions to ask before we arrived, specifically regarding payment and transport to the island, and my main point of contact did not really respond much until the day before. Everything was fine in the end, and I understand it is their way of life, but for better peace of mind it would have been better to have someone who was a little more 'on it' when people send messages regarding questions on how to pay them money.
