Island holiday rentals in Panama

Dorien nous a fait loger dans la petite cabane 2 places visible sur les photos. La cabane est très simple, avec un ventilateur. Les toilettes et douches sont séparés, mais tout proches et propres. Dorien est pleine d'attentions: elle nous a accueilli chaleureusement, nous a mis à disposition des kayak et matériel de snorkeling et recommandé des randonnées sur l'île. Elle propose également des tous de sa ferme de Cacao pendant lesquels elle n'hésitera pas à vous montrer tous les animaux et plantes qui vivent chez elle, dont une famille de paresseux et Felipe le perroquet. Ses enfants et les volontaires sont là pour égayer les repas. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour, dans un petit coin très tranquille et paisible et dans des conditions très simples mais parfaitement fonctionnelles et agréables. J'ai adoré! Dorien peut organiser les ramassages depuis d'autres lodges avec son Capitaine :)

Mejor lugar imposible!!! Tranquilidad, playa hermosa, casi un paraíso para solo nosotros. Míchel y Vincent encantadores. La comida muy buena y conocer a otras personas a la hora de la cena fue muy simpático. Es como estar en casa. Solo recomendar este lugar como un imperdible si quieres descansar y estar casi solo.

I stayed for 6 days, which was longer than most, but everything i was looking for. While there are a lot of logistic's involved from Panama City to San Blas / the island, it necessary information was provided and well communicated. This is a primitive stay, with Spanish being the local's second language, but still very easy to communicate. Everyone was friendly, and the hospitality from the Guna was incredible and inviting. Would highly recommend visiting San Blas with Jonathan!

The location of this house on Isla Grande is wonderful! It’s a little ways away from the center of town and has its own dock. The ocean in front of the house is a little choppy, so we walked a little down and were able to get into the water. The lights did go out on the entire island, so you may want to take a flashlight just in case. The host told me to write to the care taker an hour before arriving, but when the caretaker didn’t answer my chat, the host told me I had to call her. Once I knew that, I was able to contact the lady to let us into the house. The top floor bedroom is amazing!!!

Stop scrolling ! You have found heaven on earth! Thank the universe and book! Where to begin ? The property itself is stunning- the construction is beautiful and the view is amazing. Yes! There are dolphins right outside. Erika’s daughter spotted us a jumping pod when we were getting on the boat one morning. Spacious, well stocked, great beds, paddleboards, amazing bathtub and laundry. But the real treasure is the staff! Like wow! A+ service. From the chef, to Erika, to Jose the boat captain to the insanely talented masseuse, this place has quiet luxury on lock. It’s an incredible value. We especially loved ZapAtilla island, dunking into the water off the front deck and then chilling in the hammocks ! Saw a sting ray and many tropical fish - don’t skimp on the snorkeling opportunities! Julia does an incredible job and the management is world class. Erika- this review is esp for you! We loved your soul 💫 So helpful !

First of All a big thank to Jonathan! He is a great friedly and effektive organizer for a stunning stay in San Blas. It blowed my mind! After a last minute cancel by another Airbnb-Host, Jonathan saved the goal of my trip. He Managed to aquire all the logistics for a amazing stay at San Blas. It was one of the most beauthiful places I have seen in my life (saying this by traveling 25 countries) The Canañas Miro very close to the water (15/20 m) and it was a very beauty. Wonderful Palmtrees, white Sands cobalt blue water! Just paradies! The rustic cabañas is all you need for a perfect disconnection from all day life. The food especially the lobster was awesome. The local people of the Gunars are very friendly and delievered a great Service. Don't expect a 5 Star Hotel bunker, But this is the good Thing about it. Almost no Wifi, no social Media, no news ! A great way to recharch soul, body and mind! nice tours are offered to other Islands. Also nice for snorcheling.

Like every other review this place is incredible. We didn’t want to leave! Our tips would be - take more cash than you think you’ll need and a little more food than you think you’ll need. 😆 we ate at the restaurant one evening which was lovely and their chef is amazing but otherwise it was easy to fend for ourselves in the incredible setting. Touring the community is amazing (take your bug spray!) and the other outings were equally as memorable. We also toured the cacao farm in Dolphin Bay which was great! We were there with our twin boys who are 7 and not a moment of boredom! The house kitty was adorable and the boys named her Tinta (Valimir said she didn’t have a name yet so was happy she got one 😆) The boys are ready to go back!

As written in the announcement it is a really pure place where you can totally relax. As a dog lover it was also great that some dogs played on the beach. Also the staff on the island was very nice and helpful.

A ilha realmente é muito pequena, mas exatamente como anunciado era possível ficar do lado um pouco agitado ou totalmente isolada. Todos foram educados e prestativos, inclusive a Omaira perguntou se queria fazer os passeios disponíveis que havia nas outras ilhas. A comida é simples mas gostosa, tudo foi exatamente como eu queria. A Omaira me orientou a ficar na cidade do Panamá por conta do horário de chegada do meu voo e foi ótimo, pois conheci Panamá viejo e gostei muito.

Au top Merci

This little gem is absolutely magical. We were picked up in Bocas by the hosts friend and brought to this incredible place with only a 12 min boat ride from bocas. Their pictures don’t even do this place justice. The beauty is even better in person. I recommend eating the breakfast they offer. Absolutely fresh and delicious. We will be back for sure!

We ended up staying at a cabin on another island as this one we originally booked was having issues with the water supply. It was a bit of a hassle sorting out our payment options as they wanted us to cancel the original reservation to pay in full through their website. We ended up paying the additional cost separately rather than canceling our Airbnb reservation. The overall experience was nice. Luckily we knew what to expect prior to our stay (as others have mentioned, this is not a luxurious experience). Connecting with nature and interacting with the Guna Yala residents were a couple of highlights for us. We fell asleep to the sound of ocean waves and ate some of the best seafood we’ve ever had. Some cons would be the overcrowding; do not expect it to be a private experience, it was tough to find a space on the beach that we didn’t have to share with others. The communication could also have been better. We didn’t appreciate the last minute notice that our original accommodation wouldn’t be available. It left us rushing to reserve another cabin in time for the early 5am pickup.
