Very loud music in the bar kept us awake until 2AM. At check out we were told there were 2 chocolate bars missing from the mini-fridge. We did not eat them, and told the lady at the desk we did not. She accused us of LYING and charged my CC $5 for 2 candy bars. Two nights cost $300 , which I paid. Why would we "steal" 2 candy bars valued at a paltry $5! We won't be going back.

El sitio was amazing! Staff was exceptional! There was an issue with the TV in our room and they upgraded us immediately to a new and better room! Restaurant and bar were great with smiling staff! The beach was awesome! Centrally located to other restaurants on either side of the beach and just a short walk to the walking trail/waterfall! Booked a fishing trip with Carl with Playa Venao Fishing who picked us up right at the reception desk and brought us back!! Loved our time at this resort! We will be back!

This is a great location right on the beach so you can watch the surf and surfers, or hop in the ocean. The rooms are nice and clean, and the grounds are well kept. The buildings are showing some wear and tear from being right on the beach, but overall very nice place.

Over rated room , Walls not painted , Toilet was clogged, restaurant area is under construction, Hotel looks nothing like in the pictures. Should paint the walls from time to time . The only plus was the patio .

Right off the beach, could see the surf conditions right from outside the door. Very convenient.

The rooms are well looked after, the property is clean, the pool is clean. El sitio is a must when one visits Venao

Cleanliness and rustic flair. Excellent and very professional service provided by the hostess, (Mariana). The only drawback (not the hotel’s fault) is that a long portion of the main highway used to reach the destination needs vast. This added travel time as dodging became a nuisance.

Nice place with the family! Only minus the cigarette butts around the pool area.

Nice hotel on a beautiful beach! My teenage son and I stayed for three nights. The front desk and restaurant staff was helpful and friendly. The employee working in the surf shop was not. He was dismissive to me and my son when we went in to rent a board. He was rude to my son when my son asked him questions in fluent Spanish and then in English. (he was not Panamanian). The room was very nice, large and clean. The only negative was that the bathroom offered no privacy, as the top of one wall was open to the room and the door was a dressing room type door. Finally, while I really liked this hotel overall, on Friday and Saturday night the bar had a DJ that played music until about 2:00 am. I could hear the base thumping from my room, with the doors and windows closed and the AC on. Not sure why they would make this choice when I expect that most guests would rather hear the sound of the surf and have peaceful sleep.

The hotel is operated by a staff that all appear under 25. They weren't sure if they charged me for the remaining balance of my rooms when I checked in and they attempted to stick me with over $250 in food and beverage charges even though a different room was on the receipts and a different signature. They need to tighten up on procedures. Additionally, I didn't enjoy my meals as there were dogs frockling and fighting and licking everyone as I attempted to eat. The neighborhood is very secluded so unless you want to surf and surf exclusively, there isn't much else to do. Lastly, the rooms have a "private" bathroom but there isn't a full door so you can hear everything if you are in the room.

Great time on very clean quiet beach. Hotel on the beach can hear the waves breaking while you eat.... just great!
