A rather mixed experience in the San Blas, despite a truly paradisiacal setting.
We paid about $150 per person, including the night, transportation, and meals. In the explanation, it was clearly specified that the toilets and showers were shared, so we knew that before coming and it did not particularly bother us.
However, at that price, we were especially expecting to experience the immersion that was advertised. Unfortunately, we had almost no exchange, no discussion, and no real interaction with the locals. This is mainly why we find the price much too high: we ultimately felt more like we were paying to sleep in a paradisiacal setting than to live a real immersive experience and discover their culture.
The food was decent, but the drinks (25cl $2 for soft drinks, $4 for beers) are not included and are quite expensive, including water (25cl $2). At this price point, we believe that at a minimum, water should be included.
Regarding the activities, we really advise against taking the additional $25 per person excursion, which clearly gave us the impression of being a scam: about 20 minutes by boat to reach a "natural pool," which is actually just a sandbar in the middle of the sea where the water comes up to your waist, then a visit to another island. Ironically, the latter seemed much more pleasant, welcoming, and cheaper than Yani Island.
And even on the island, the activities remain paid: $20 per hour for a kayak and $10 per hour for a paddleboard. At $150 per person for the service, we think that this type of additional activity should be included, just like the water.
The San Blas remain a magnificent place, but the value for money really disappointed us, mainly because of the total lack of immersion and everything that still has to be paid for as an extra.
Our advice: definitely do not take the additional $25 excursion; it is absolutely not worth its price.

I rediscovered the pleasure of looking at the stars without a smartphone.
In Europe, we are used to having city lights that hide the sky. When night fell on the island and the community turned off the generator, the number of stars visible to the naked eye gave me chills. My partner and I stayed lying on the still-warm sand until late at night counting shooting stars. A pure emotion, organized very well down to the smallest details by Sea San Blas.

Le ciel étoilé de San Blas, une fois le générateur éteint, offre vraiment une magie difficile à oublier. Savoir que vous et votre compagnon avez pu rester sur le sable chaud à admirer les étoiles filantes nous touche énormément. Merci de nous avoir confié l’organisation de cette émotion si pure !

Peace and privacy...
We chose the private cabin on Pelican Island to spend the weekend, and it was a total success. The sea is extremely calm and the waves are gentle, ideal for a trip as a couple or even alone, stress-free.

A different and stress-free experience.
We chose the night plan in a private cabin on Pelican Island, and it was a great decision. The environment feels super exclusive, and the beach is just a couple of steps away. The tour includes kayaks, so we explored the shore at our own pace. Highly recommended!

A breeze with a good experience, without luxuries.
We stayed two nights in the shared cabin, and I admit I was afraid of the heat, but the sea breeze that comes through the wooden walls is delightful; we slept really well. The experience of dining in a group with the sound of the waves in the background is something that no city hotel can provide... here the water is salty and there are no luxuries, so we went with a backpacker mentality and had an amazing time.

Perfect for disappearing
We were looking for a place to disappear from the map, and the private cabin exceeded our expectations. It is a structure made of cane and straw on the sand, without luxuries or air conditioning, but the luxury here is the absolute silence and the Caribbean breeze. The company was very straightforward with us and warned us not to expect a resort, but rather a total immersion experience with the Guna. Thanks to that honesty, we were able to enjoy the digital disconnection without complaining about the lack of wifi...

Deserved vacation!
Having a cabin for the two of us was great to see the sunset quiet... it's a place to forget about problems and it helps my girlfriend and I relax... point in favor for the agency is that it was very coordinated in the transfers.

Es genial que, estando acostumbrados a otro tipo de viajes, se hayan dado la oportunidad de disfrutar de esta aventura rústica. Al final, desconectarse un poco y conectar con la naturaleza es lo que hace que todo valga la pena.
¡Fue un placer tenerlos con nosotros y esperamos que regresen pronto por más diversión y paisajes increíbles!

Amigos, snorkel y desconexión
We did the expedition with a group of friends, and it was like living inside a documentary, haha. From day one, the guide explained everything clearly: times, stops, what was included and what wasn't, so zero weird surprises. We walked around almost empty islands, snorkeled with tons of fish, and one night we even saw bioluminescence in the sea. It's important to go with an open mind: limited space, basic showers, and almost no cell service. If you're looking for adventure and want to relax with friends, this trip is awesome.
