Panamanian-owned hotel area which is unfortunately rare in this area. With a lovely view on the rocky island in front, this place is a true gem in playa Venao. The staff goes out of it way to accommodate and make your stay great, the apartment is truly luxurious and we enjoyed to the max! Two swimming pools, yoga shala, restaurant…it has it all. Thank you for great stay!

Excellent location right on the beach. It was very beautiful. The room was a little small and outdated but it was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The beach chairs were not cleaned off every day so they did tend to gather sand and dust but they were modern and in good condition. The pool was maintained very well. I would go back.

Here’s an elegant, balanced review: We had a wonderful stay overall. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff throughout the property were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every detail contributed to a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The only area that could be improved is the restaurant. Service was noticeably slow, with longer waiting times than expected for the food. While the meals were enjoyable, the quality and execution could be elevated to match the exceptional standard of the rest of the hotel. With a stronger dining experience, this hotel would truly be top tier. We would gladly return and look forward to seeing this aspect continue to improve.

Great stay! The two bedroom ocean view condo was excellent. Clean, roomy, modern, with an amazing view. The pool by the condos could be improved. There is no pool deck or path to the pool so you have to walk on rocks and grass barefoot. Also not enough chairs. Excellent food at the restaurant and reasonably priced. It was a great stay and we’ll be back!

Clean room, although our first room had an issue with the air conditioner and we were moved to another room. The pool area and beach are great. The restaurant is very average and service was slow, but it was wonderful to have a private terrace facing the beach and the rooms contain a mini refrigerator and comfprtable beds.

Had a wonderful experience staying at Villa Marina Lodge. The Condo was in very good conditions and was very comfortable. The staff was always helpful and check-in was easy and smooth. The location is perfect with sights to the beach and just a few minutes walking from Playa Venao but still far enough to keep a quiet and relaxing environment in the area. Everything was good, I'd love to comeback!
