Gas canister delivery in San Juan del Sur
Cooking gas here comes in a canister you exchange, not through a pipe in the wall. It always runs out mid-meal, usually in the evening, and it is heavy enough that fetching a new one is a genuine chore.
Delivery from C$184 in town and C$276 to the outer beaches. Every fee is agreed before we set off.

How the exchange works
- The normal arrangement is exchange: you hand over your empty canister and get a full one back, paying only for the gas.
- If you have no canister yet — a new house, a first rental — the first one costs more because you are paying a deposit on the cylinder itself.
- Tell us which you need when you message. It is the difference between two quite different prices and it is much easier sorted out before the driver arrives.
- Have the empty ready and accessible. The exchange takes a minute if it is by the door and considerably longer if it is behind a locked gate.
Why people have it brought
- A full canister is heavy and awkward, and much of San Juan del Sur is uphill from anywhere selling gas.
- It never runs out at a convenient time, and a kitchen with no gas is not a problem that waits until morning.
- If you keep a spare, running out stops being an emergency and becomes a note to reorder. That is the single best piece of advice on this page.
Where we bring it
- Anywhere in town and on the hillside at the C$184 town rate, with no minimum order.
- The outer beaches — Maderas, Marsella, Remanso — at C$276 with a C$250 minimum.
- Combine it with a water or grocery order and it is one trip and one delivery fee rather than two.
