4 Frustrating

Overall, I wasn't particularly impressed with the San Blas islands. We took a day tour of three islands, but I wouldn't choose to revisit any of them, including this one. In fact, I wouldn't consider returning to the San Blas islands at all unless we had our own sailboat.

This beach is like a tropical paradise with its powder-soft sandy shoreline, palm trees swaying in the breeze, and the sun shining down on crystal clear turquoise water.
