Yandup was paradise when my daughter and I spent two nights last week! We loved relaxing in the hammocks on the deck, listening to the waves beneath our hut, tasting all the fabulous meals! Tour to the Kuna village, farm tour and snorkeling were all great. All of the employees went out of their way to be helpful. It was... More

We stayed only for two nights at the Yandup Lodge but it was absolutely great and peaceful. The staff is so friendly, helpful and provides a great service. Each day two optional side programmes are organised, in the morning a boat trip to a beach and in the afternoon a cultural trip. The bungalows are very nice, everything is in... More

My family and I stayed at the beautiful Yandup island for 3 nights. The cabins are built in a way that resembles the traditional kuna style, with palm leaves and palm wood, which allows the cool ocean breeze to pass through. We booked 2 cabins by the water and were really happy with that choice because those are the ones... More

I stayed with a friend for 3 nights at this gorgeous lodge. The service was impecable and the scenary magnificent. December is a perfect month in terms of no mosquitoes, cool breeze, warm water. The owners and their children are as beautifull as their property. Will not hesitate to reccomend it to family and virtual friends. M More

Absolutely FANTASTIC. The food was great, excursions were interesting, and the entire setting was beautiful and romantic. We spent two nights there, but wished we had stayed longer. There weren't many bugs at ALL. Instead, we had tiny lizards in our room, which was very cute. If we left out snacks, or even empty beer cans, the little lizards would... More

This is my first review on Trip Advisor. I trusted the previous reviews and booked a 4 night stay at Yandup Lodge with my husband. Lucky us! Most guests stayed for 2 or 3 nights and we were glad we stayed 4. The other guests were very friendly and we had great conversations. The staff at Yandup is very attentive... More

Michael and I were there in late August, and what an amazing experience! Staff was phenomenal and even met the owner, who I believe is head of the Kuna village? Excursions are awesome, heads up girls, bring water boots to hike to the waterfall and bug spray! And it so well worth the hike! Gorgeous, wear a bathing suit under... More

The setting is stunning, the sound of the sea is marvellous. The staff is super helpful and friendly. They even took our daughter for a walk, so... More

This is a great get-away and I echo all that has been said in previous reviews. I want to shout out to the excellent customer service. The staff in the office in Panama worked effortlessly to find flights for the days we wanted when Panama Air said there was nothing available. The food was good and the morning excursions for...
