Search hotels in Mamartupo

You have to know that the island itself is very pretty, small and is meant for relaxation. The cottages are really rustic and beds aren’t comfortable, it is NOT a resort, you have to go with a mindset of staying on a deserted island and just be grateful that there are community toilets and shower. Definitely no luxuries but the views and star filled sky at night are awesome and worth the trip. The staff is amazingly friendly and they even have a solar panel fueled electrical socket in the dining area to recharge phone during the day

San blas islands are beautiful, and the Kunas are very friendly, but our experience at Mamartupo was less than perfect, even though we expected to rough it out, cabanas naranjo chico was a dirty run down place that did not deliver at all on the advertised paradise!! The hut was very very run down, the attitude of the staff was not great and the food not good at all. We also had to endure loud music until 11 am and babies crying and dogs barking from 5 am on, the beach was far away and along the way you could see how dirty and un-ecological the locals kept their island. We left early the next morning and took all boat from isla perro chico to the port without coming back for “lunch” I recommend san Blas island and enjoyed learning about the Kuna culture, I recommend also looking for the other many offers around the island Adbid Cabanas naranjo chico was below any standard.
