You will not go wrong staying here!

Playa Venao is an incredible beach that does not insist you surf! Great location. (be aware that google maps will take you to the wrong hotel, if that happens, ask around for directions) Room was comfortable, outdoor pool was great. Close to many great restaurants.

Other than thumping Rave-Music at absurd decibels one night, this place was great. There was no need to have the music that loud as there was literally nobody in the bar and this is a hotel, not a nightclub. Otherwise, this place is really nice.

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!

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.

Surfing Playa Vanao

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.

Decepcionante

Hotel en obras. Desayuno en la palapa central que estaban desmontando. Con un ruido ensordecedor. Desayuno carísimo, cobraban por cada extra sin avisarte ej: cafe con leche te cobran café más el extra de leche, tomate dos rodajas 2€ … total dos desayunos muy regulares ( cafe con leche, tostadas, zumo y huevos revueltos) más de 35€. Dueños de vacaciones y el poco personal que había a en el hotel no supo responder a nuestras quejas
