Staff, room, location and beach were all amazing!! Only thing to stay away from: I would not recommend the evening turtle adventure. It was a terrible experience, no turtles, no expectations, no customer focus - painful and a bit scary from the taxi driver there to the whole experience trying to get back to the hotel. Horse back riding was amazing - great tour guide - I HIGHLY recommend this one!! Again, beach was amazing, staff was great:)

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay!! Dennis at the front desk was very helpful & accommodating when we asked to extend our stay! We loved the location! It was so convenient to walk to Playa Venao but far enough away to have quiet evenings. We enjoyed the pool too!! The view with the island right across from the beach was amazing! The staff provided excellent service. We look forward to returning soon!

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The condo was clean and a perfect size for our family of 4. The kitchen had all of the pots/cutlery you would want, but it would be nice to have a simple salt/pepper. They have separate towels for the pool areas/beach, which was nice, but no wash cloths. They don’t seem to be a thing in Panama in general. The pool near the condos was really nice, but it would be better if they had more stones/paving/grass around it bc there was quite a bit of dirt and it was hard to keep from tracking it into the pool. The restaurant was good and the waitress was very sweet. All in all a great spot away from the noise of the other resorts that have music late, etc.

As an Expedia VIP I was lucky enough to be upgraded to the panoramic oceanview apartment. Very modern and spacious 2 bed. 2 bath was missing dishwasher, toaster, kettle. Can opener, ice trays etc. Use of bbq was $40 so we passed. The lobby was tired and welcome drink was non-alcoholic very tasty lemonade. Friendly staff. Calm seas. 5 min walk Next door had the entertainment. Bars, shops and restaurants.

The location is wonderful. It's at the end of the playa Venao so its quiet. Beautiful view at from the apartment we stay in. The apartment is a nice size for 4 adults. Staff are friendly. Two miner points: 1. apt 504 the master bedroom rolling screen for the window is broken. So there's no privacy at night and in the morning when the sunrise you will have no choice to wake up. 2. the breakfast is not worth it. (small omelette with a few pieces of small bread for $10 USD) and a coffee.

We are a family with 2 young kids. This place is a beautiful hotel and very clean. The pool is amazing with beautiful views of the ocean and sunsets. The town is a short walk via the beach and a couple minute drive. The staff was so helpful and so friendly, they went above and beyond for us. Didnt catch everyone’s name, But they are all so great. Dennis was really great. We ate a few dinners and the food is good at a reasonable price. Only negative part, we had a door that connected to another room and we could hear the neighbour quite a bit. And there are no mini fridges in the rooms. But the staff was very kind and was able to help us out with my daughters daily milk. Def recommend this hotel. Its very peaceful and relaxing. And very quiet at night.

We were a group of 3 families staying for 2 nights. We wished we could have stayed longer! Unfortunately they were all booked up, and it’s easy to see why. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive; the grounds are gorgeous and the beach is serene. Two families were staying in the hotel rooms. They’re a little dated, but very clean. The third family was in a condo. It was modern, sparkling clean and very well-equipped. Can’t say enough about how much we loved this spot. There was a “yoga festival” (translation: rave) happening way down the beach, and we were so glad to be away from that scene at night. (We still got to hear all their music, but there’s not much our hotel could have done about that!). Excellent spot for families, couples, etc… highly recommend!

The actual facilities as far as the lodge we're okay. It's an older resort that's in need of some serious updates. Our room had problems with the door they actually had to come and fix the door cuz it wouldn't close right. The shower had what looked to be a little bit of black mold in it which to my surprise they cleaned. The shower head was highly corroded with calcium. The bed was comfortable and the pillows for comfortable. There was no chair or table in the room. I had to ask if I could get some glasses for the bathroom as it were none. It was missing floor molding on the wall in half of the room. It's definitely in need of major painting. We booked this over 8 months ago and were given what was called room number one. Well let me tell you some room number one does not have the little outside area with sliding patio doors with chairs and tables it literally as you walk in it's a room with a bathroom and a bed. No closet with his old metal frame with some juked up wired hangers for your clothes. If I word ever stay there again I would certainly not want to stay in that room. Talking to some other people they said they had nicer rooms and for $160 a night highly disappointed. What you're paying for is the view and that's all. The pool is nice although you can hurt yourself on the way the rocks are designed. The food overall was pretty good the drinks were great and the staff upon my complaining was very helpful. I did apologize for my little bit of an outburst.

Property was amazing,,quite ,incredible views,great pool ,succulent food,staff were kind and generous,,we got lucky we found this little resort on venao beach!the only blemish is that it is not easy to get to without a car,we had friends drop us off there,but to get back from there was to use uber to pedasi to catch a bus to panama city,we did find a flight out of pedasi on mondays and fridays so we opted for that and it was awesome and saved time.cant wait to go back
