Hotels with Parking in Wichubualá

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!

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.

The island where the cabins are located is great.
