Not five star holiday but authentic
Publié le 4 sept. 2017 sur HotelsFirst of all, we chose this place because of lack of transport options to the Northwestern part of San Blas. We got a direct flight to Achutupu runway, an experience in itself. We were picked up by Jeronimo, the 80year old owner of the lodge. The lodge is old but kept spic and span. We were a bit disapointed to be the only tourists, however, it had some charme to be the only visitors to the island. Unfortunately, the rest of the island that belonged to other people but uninhabited had lots of litter on its beaches. Still, there wer two very clean beaches with shady trees. One of the employees took us for two daytrips to very neat little islands to snorkel. Unfortunately, there were no canoos or other boats to rent that would have made us more independent. The trip to Achutupo was authentic, a wonderful village with 2000 inhabitants, and NO cars or motorcycles. Unfortunately, on its beaches lots of litter. Also, no place for animal/rights/people with pigs kept in minute cages...The downside of the place were the tiny moscitos smaller than the holes in the moscito net provided. Bring your own moscito net, and aks the staff for smoke spirals that you also should use in the restaurant. Repellents to do not work. And be aware that you are not residing in a luxury cabin you may know from more famous tourist places. You are going to an authentic area where the Guna Yala live their more or less traditional lives. One further advice is to bring along drinking water.

BED BUGS!!! Trash dump site with some extra stuff
Publié le 3 janv. 2016 sur Expedia
Pour : Daniel, the owner or manager will charge your credit card on the day he gets a hold of it!!! You can't get your money back.
Contre : Condemn the place as hazardous site for health.
Emplacement : Far from any sandy beaches- more than 1.5 boat ride. The only nice place is Guna people's ranches- pretty island with all sort of tropical trees.
What you get for $400 a night: BED BUGS!!! Some guest thought they were mosquito bites - look at the pattern of the bites - in the row, look closely at the mattresses - we found a few bugs after we suspected we were bitten by bed bugs. The worst of all - four fifth of this small island is a trash dump site, septic tank spilled and flooded most of the are you see in "beautiful" pictures posted on line. Stunk for the duration of our stay. There was no area to walk on clean surface- trash piles or sewer covered grass. Eating area is dirty, utensils appears to be not cleaned with water. Kitchen is filthy from the back with dog (poor animals living on site full of fleas) running in and out of it. Towels smelled like mold and were given to us only once on the first day, water bottles appeared to be refilled and sold to us as new. Scary! No running water at night. Beaches are trashed with everything from plastic, hazardous waste material, construction refuse, semi-burned plastic furniture. Included exertions were to another dump site beach that had no sand. There are dead reefs.
Staff was trying to be friendly- some of the people were hard workers. 2 our of 6 exertions to nearby islands were decent. Daniel- owner or manager, has University degree. He takes advantage of tourists- $400 a night plus extra pay he demanded for water is an extortion. Keep in mind you are at their mercy - nobody can take you to the main land, but his boat. No cell service.

hello, iam so sad to know that you have such that cain of bad experiencie in our beautiful lodge, like all the natural places you have to know that a guna indian lodge in a 100% natural place is not going to be like the city but we try to offer the best we can in a so dificult indigenous area, iam sure that there are bugs but not the way you are writing it, there are some mosquitos but not the way you explain it, 96% of our guest always have a nice experience with us...we have been working in the indigenous turism for more than 9 years and definetly we understand that there are going to be people that does not like this cain of turism, i recomend to everyone that is thinking to visit and a indigenous area , do not expect luxury or the best service 4 or 5 start... expect beauty, the tradition, the rainforest, the nature, expect a diferent experiencie that you would never have in other pleaces...
all your writing sounds like you are traying to destroit our imagen, i would like to understand you but all your information totally does not make sence couse most of the time we have a beautiful nice feedbacks, not perfect but we try.. the trash problems is everywhere in the world and we are working to teach our Guna indigenous people to understand the problem that cause the trash is not eazy to make them understand this knowing that they are always in a island thinking that the way they are doing the things is always correct, i promise that i will work with this with all my hearth to changed.
blessing to you and your family.
