At the boat, units are equipped with a wardrobe. With a shared bathroom fitted with a a bath or shower and free toiletries, units at the boat also have free WiFi. All units feature bed linen. It was an incredible experience. Maria and Manuel were such great hosts. The food Maria prepared was really special, and they were both very attentive in making sure we were comfortable. Manuel went out of his way to take us snorkeling and to visit the islands. We felt very well taken care of. And the experience of being in the islands on the boat was just amazing.

Private Sailingyacht "Guji" With Crew All Inclusive is a recently renovated boat in Isla Wichitupo Grande, where guests can make the most of its water sports facilities and terrace. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony. Staff on-site can arrange airport transfers. Sayra and Marta were amazing hosts and crew! They took very good care of us during our two night stay. All meals were beyond amazing! We had conch curry, lobster, coconut bread, and a number of other delicious dishes that were outstanding. Sayra knows the local Guna well and took us on a tour around the island (Cambombia) to meet them. We bought molas from some of the local women. Their handicraft skills are truly impressive. San Blas is absolutely gorgeous and the water is pristine! No wind while we were there, but we had some excellent snorkeling! Sayra took us out on the dinghy to snorkel through different areas of the reef. Lots of different fish and some of the best coral we have seen. It was a very relaxing weekend, and one we will always remember. Highly recommend staying!

Facing the seafront in El Porvenir, Play to Live San Blas features water sports facilities and barbecue facilities. A solarium is available for guests. The boat provides sea views and an outdoor fireplace. If you’re looking for the perfect boat to explore the San Blas Islands, stop searching — this is it. Sailing with Paul and Daniela aboard Play to Live was the trip of a lifetime — one we’ll never forget. From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel completely at home. They’re warm, generous, and truly passionate about what they do. The food was unforgettable. Daniela made delicious meals — pasta, handmade pizza, fresh salads — and we devoured everything she made. And Paul’s pancakes? One morning, with a palm-covered island in the background and coffee in hand, we had tears of joy. It was that perfect. Paul is an incredible captain — experienced, making us feel safe every step of the way. Together with Daniela, they took us to quiet, untouched islands with no crowds, just pure natural beauty. They shared fascinating stories about the Kuna people and their way of life, which made every stop even more special. We snorkeled over vibrant coral reefs, swam with stingrays, and even learned a bit about sailing. In the evenings, we sat under a sky filled with thousands of stars. Being the only guests on board made it feel like a completely private experience. Paul and Daniela tailored the trip to us, making sure we had the best time — even when we found ourselves dancing around on the boat in pure joy. If you want to disconnect, experience nature, eat amazing food, and be guided by two genuinely amazing people, Play to Live is the perfect choice. The San Blas Islands are a hidden gem, and this is the best way to explore them.

Cabaña privada en Guna Yala isla Diablo baño compartido is situated in Cagantupo and offers a private beach area and a garden. Boasting full-day security, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge. The trip out to islands is an adventure in itself — and for $110 person round trip they arranged SUV ride from Panama City and had a guide meet us and take us in boat out to the island. Same on way back — they got us from the island right back to hotel. During your stay on island, you get a free trip to other islands (or two trips if you stay 3-4 days). Isla Diablo has a great little reef that you can snorkel around right off the beach. It was some of the best snorkeling we found in Panama and went around reef 3 or 4 times on during trip. Make sure to do this! There is also snorkeling around sunken ship on adjacent island — Isla Perrito. We are really glad we stayed on Isla Diablo since with the reef right there there was more to do without getting on boat. The accommodations and food are simple but in keeping with the island vibe. Grilled or fried chicken or fish with great coconut rice and a bit of Cole slaw for each meal. But there is no place to buy an extra snack or dish anywhere on island, so recommend you bring extra snacks or food just in case for any special dietary needs or preferences. WiFi was pretty good and a total surprise. Ask at the restaurant and they will give you password for $1/day fee. And there is place you can recharge devices. They sell beer and soda and cocktail drinks for very reasonable prices (eg $2 beer), and beyond that there is not much you can spend money on. We highly recommend!

Featuring a restaurant, Cabañas Narasgandup (Naranjo Chico) features accommodation in Mamartupo.

A terrace is available on site and both fishing and snorkelling can be enjoyed within close proximity of the lodge. We enjoyed the beautiful beaches and islands. The staff were very attentive. The food was very good. There was variety and plenty of good food. There were vegetables and fruit with the meals. The breeze through the cabanas' bamboo walls was nice and cool. Bring a string for hanging clothes to dry inside of the cabana. Bring dessert if you want dessert. Expect camping type conditions, showers are rain water that is not heated. If the waves are really good size, you'll need to pull your bed to the non-splashing side of the room. We really enjoyed the excursions to snorkeling sites and beaches. These cost $2 or $3 per person for the beach fees. There are places to get beverages at the other beaches so bring some money with you on the excursions, , but mostly small bills. For the 3 days/nights, we used 6 liters of bottled water per person. We brought that with us. There are other resorts on Naranjo Chico Island that have some beverages you can purchase. These cantinas are near the large shared beach.. We loved getting to know the staff. They are super people.
